Jassim Al-Shamali is a CrossFit athlete whose inspirational story is well-known in the CrossFit community. We begin with a turning point in his struggle with weight loss. Still, before we could dig any deeper, we had to establish what defines an ‘influencer’ and whether he considers himself one? Then we get into the heavy stuff, where he details his experience going through a gastric sleeve surgery and then gaining the weight again. When he tried CrossFit, it changed his life. Years later, he began to compete all over the world. Jassim drops essential keys when it comes to a suitable approach to losing weight and how to keep it off. He was brave enough to open up about recently losing his father and the harsh lessons he’s learned along the way. Should we let go of all expectations? Support the podcast, hit subscribe!
