How to Overcome Anxiety, Find Your Voice, and Build a Brand from Scratch - Paul Weber | Ep 34

After five years as an Infantry Officer in the Army, Paul Weber knew he wanted to help athletes optimize their performance. But getting there wasn’t easy.

He tried in-person training, worked with kids, coached athletes, and dabbled in different fitness roles before launching his online business. Then came six months of crickets - zero clients, few followers, and a lot of anxiety.

Today, Paul runs a thriving coaching company, serves 20+ athletes, has over 11,000 Instagram followers, and hosts a podcast with 100+ episodes.
