Episode 29- Fitness and Finance with Fred Liberatore

Finance Hour on J-Air

Thought there was no link between physical and financial fitness? Well think again! My guest this week is Fred Liberatore, who is a master coach, personal trainer, former amateur body builder and owner of Realfit Gym – a boutique gym and personal training studio with two locations in Melbourne

I talk to Fred about the surprising impact that a physical training program can have on financial decision making and overall wellbeing. We also talk about Fred’s journey in starting and managing his business, which includes many lessons for all small business owners.

In this episode I also introduce a brand new segment called “Reuben’s Rant” where I give my personal take on happenings in the world of business and finance.

So whether you are in small business or contemplating a physical fitness regime, you are certain to benefit from listening to this week’s show.
