    Happy Wednesday! This past week, Josh (@joshjeffery5) was able to sit down with an old friend, Carl Hardwick (@hardwickcarl), who is now the CEO of OPEX Fitness (opexfitness). You've heard the guys mention OPEX countless times over the years and how influential their coaching education has been in Josh's journey. We first met Carl almost a decade ago when he was here in Columbia while serving in the military and as a successful athlete, coach and business owner, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. In this discussion, they chat about Carl's background, his new role at OPEX, the structure of their Coaching Certificate Program, basic lifestyle guidelines and how to begin implementing these in your coaching or clinical practice and their brand new coaching education platform Learn Rx.
