In Altamonte Springs, we share our thoughts on life and "why's" for being purposeful. 

In my last few months spent in Orlando, Florida, I valued the deep and present conversations I had with individuals. I appreciated them so much because I knew that it could be a very long time before I saw those individuals again because of my travel lifestyle and continual shifting of my interests and endeavors into ways where I would be living in faraway places from these people. I can say I never had the belief that I wouldn't see these people again. Still, I truly value my time with these individuals, especially Jesse Walker, also known as "My Florida Brother," because we look like we could be brothers. Jesse and I share similar interests when it comes to health and fitness. Jesse is a gym owner for Train For Warriors in Lake Mary, Florida, and I am a personal trainer at Center of Recovery and Exercise in Orlando, Florida. 


Update for 2022 - Jesse is now the proud owner of Ascend Fitness in Lake Mary upon updating this post. Awesome Jesse! 


I had the pleasure of first meeting Jesse at Whole Foods when you asked, "Are you the guy that is always skateboarding and whistling?". Thus our friendship began, and we proceeded to have numerous meetups at his house, at his gym, active meditations, watching the Fourth of July Fireworks at Cranes Roost Park, and of course, doing podcasts together, which allowed us to get better to know each other and hear on topics and perspectives that matter deeply to one another. 


I learned a lot from Jesse in this conversation, and it allowed me to share my different "Whys" in life with him. 


  • The importance of dance as a deep means for humans to express themselves.
  • Highlighting Jesse's why of embracing health and fitness to share with others. 
  • Writing items down and saying it on the video to create external results. 
  • What is your precise goal, and how do you want to live that goal?
  • Our limits start where our vision ends. 
  • How to be open, listen to others, and be a lifelong learner. 


Jesse has a soul filled with wanting to provide value for others and help others grow and transform themselves with health and fitness habits. I know from my numerous conversations that Jesse is a genuine and authentic human being that will continue to have innumerable amounts of success in life wherever he decides to put his energy. Keep on getting it, "Florida Brother," and may you continue to have a life filled with health and wellness.
