I'm super pumped to bring this episode to you.
It’s a trip down memory lane for me and an opportunity to not only connect with but also pay respects to my first-ever bodybuilding coach!
Today, I have the privilege of interviewing Bart Van Der Molen, a former Mr. Universe who now owns and runs Bangkok's biggest hardcore gym!
Backstory…
I stepped on stage at my first bodybuilding competition in 1990 at the age of 15.
Fun fact: Jason Urbanowicz also competed in that competition… so there we were, both 15 years old and oiled up on stage in the budgie smugglers!
I get to unpack parts of my journey, from the first time I got my hands on a barbell to now, 40 years later, where it’s still an intense love affair with the iron game!
I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Bart in late 1989, and that helped me immensely.
Tune in as you’ll also hear the following:
The amazing impact that having a coach and mentor in my life at 15 years had on my personal development, which later contributed to the success of Peak Physique Personal Training and ultimately led to the creation of the juggernaut that Trainer HQ is today!
How the “Muscle Factory” in both Bangkok and Pattaya (Thailand) has become renowned as the “mecca” of gyms in the Asian region and how it was established only 10 years ago!
The unique methodology that Bart uses to ‘buck the trend’ of most gyms and how it’s given them global recognition!
Bart has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and he loves to have fun along the way as he shares his wisdom!
Enjoy, as you’re in for a treat on this one…
…plus I get to pay my respects to people who have played a massive part in my growth and development.

Today was one of those “this is what it’s all about” moments.
Trainer HQ Master Coach Kris Mount — a long-time client of 7 years, and someone I’ve seen evolve through every stage of business and life — flew up from Sydney last night, stayed at my place, and spent the day in the office with us.
We recorded what turned into one of the most real, practical, and insight-packed podcast episodes we’ve ever done.
Kris opens up about how he started in the industry earning just $600 a week, and we uncovered how he’s grown to now own two successful studios, lead a team of seven, and continue expanding with clarity and consistency.
Oh — and he’s doing all of this while raising three kids and staying grounded through it all.
This isn’t fluff. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s real-world growth, built through years of showing up, solving problems, building systems, and learning how to lead.
👀 If you’re serious about growing a business that actually works and lasts- you’ll want to tune in. You're going to get a lot out of this one.
