In episode 48 we sat down with stroke survivor and accomplished entrepreneur Tim Whitmire. Tim co founded the largest free men's fitness movement in the US. He speaks to us about how he grew a community built around fitness, fellowship, and faith into the largest mens' fitness movement in the US, and how those pillars transferred into his rehab journey.
About our guest:Whitmire started as a freelance journalist, then got a job at the Associated Press and covered Harvard Men’s Basketball. He moved to the Providence Bureau of the Associated Press and eventually to New York City. He was transferred to Lexington, Kentucky to work as a sports writer and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina after that. He worked at the Charlotte Observer and then returned to the Associated Press to work as the head of the Charlotte Bureau until 2006. Tim Whitmire was working for the AAP when he decided to look for work in Charlotte, NC. He ended up getting hired in a marketing and business development role at a sell side and investment bank. He then co-founded a firm called Black Arch Partners, where he worked for a few years. After leaving the second bank, he found his way into his current work as an executive strategy consultant. Will then asked him about his nonprofit, F3 Nation. The Mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
