Bradley answers your questions from Pea Protein to the best workout to lose weight and more!

When you go to the gym and look around, what do you see? You see the equipment. You see the coaches and staff. You see the other members. Now, look closer. Chances are that most of the other members look a lot like you. That isn't a bad thing, but "normal" looks pretty different for everyone.

And trying to get there doesn't mean over-working in the gym or sticking to restrictive diets. It's exhausting; phy...

"Be brave enough to suck at something new."   We stumbled across this recently and it has been resonating with our team.   So often we let fear or frustration hold us back from trying something new because we know we can't win at it or we know we won't be one of the best or we're just worried with how we'll look to others. But we don't need to be the best at everything. Everyone starts s...

So today, Bradley, Emily, and Sarah sat down on "With That Being Said" to continue the co...
