In this episode of PAC Talk, I sit down with fitness industry legend Paul Fetters to talk about a lifetime in bodybuilding, business, and the pursuit of sustainable health. From training at the iconic Gold’s Gym during bodybuilding’s golden era to pioneering personal training, launching semi-private training studios, and building a nationwide nutrition program, Paul shares the lessons that kept him thriving for decades. Hear stories of Arnold-era Venice Beach, competing in 44 bodybuilding shows, building businesses from scratch, and why sustainability—not extremes—is the key to lasting results. Packed with history, insight, and practical advice, this is a must-listen for gym owners, trainers, and anyone chasing long-term health.
