Project my life with Anthony Monetti
Today’s guest was Brody Bloom; a 25 year old critical thinker, philosopher, and all around bad ass dude.
Don’t judge a book by the cover though, his tattoos tell a story and his viking looking beard make him a big teddy bear mostly for his beautiful (also bad ass) wifey.
Brody’s no bullshit, real talking personality is what inspired me to invite him on the show.
As we began talking, he reminded me of the day I watched him compete as a teen at the Natural NY State Bodybuilding Championships years ago. I was impressed with his physique so much that I shook his hand after the show and gave him encouragement to continue as he clearly showed a bright future in the sport.
He was clean cut then and from what I remember, he had minimal (if any) ink on his body. I didn't recognize him when I first saw him on FB, but he obviously continued to kick ass with his career.
We chatted for an hour about life struggles, first impressions, and how the world needs more real talking quality information giving people that are willing to help others with their own personal journey.
Expect big things from this guy, and watch out for some Monetii - Brute training collaboration videos and workshops around the United States.

So, what you missed early on this cool chat was Tiffany was describing her multi race background, her pro card win and her recent trip to Hawaii.
Once we got to talking, Tiffany's voice mis matches her physique. She is soft spoken, polite and a self described introvert. The physique that Tiffany brought to the stage in 2015 was nothing short of amazing and powerful.
The 2015 WNBF Pro Figure Overall Champ TIffany Nikol Sipos speaks about her journey to become the new age standard of Natural Figure competitors.
