This week AFAA dives deep into the mind of a serial killers as we watch the first 7 episodes of I.D. Invaded.

There is no character in the show who can dislike Honoka TheThirdTheGirlWithTheBlueEye, and the AFAA podcast is no exception! Join us down in the depths of the gorge as we explore the final pages of this forgotten anime...

This week we wrap up the last set of episodes for The Day I became God as we discuss the AFAA classics of child abuse and sad backstories.

Today, host Pete Moore sits down with Michael Pesta, a veteran in the HALO space whose career has bridged the fitness, entertainment, and tech industries. Michael shares his journey from his beginnings at AFAA—where he played a key role in pioneering fitness education and telemarketing globally—to an unexpected pivot into film and music production. Mike's story started in the mid-1980s, when, as a struggling actor, he agreed to help move boxes at an organization he hadn't heard of—never suspecting it would literally change his life. Michael quickly found himself drawn into the organization's mission and over time, rose from a casual volunteer to become the director of membership.  Michael is now back in the HALO sector with an innovative focus on telefitness, aiming to bridge the longstanding gap between the fitness and healthcare industries. Pete and Michael discuss the evolution of fitness education, the changing landscape of personal training, the integration of technology, and Pesta's vision for a new era where trainers, healthcare professionals, and clients all connect seamlessly.  Key themes discussed Evolution of fitness industry education and certification. Partnerships between fitness brands and major companies (e.x., Reebok.) Transition from fitness to entertainment and back. The rise of telefitness and telehealth platforms. The challenges and benefits of online personal training. The importance of connecting fitness with healthcare services. A few key takeaways:  1. AFAA's Early Days and Industry Impact: Pesta entered the fitness space by chance with AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), which at the time was a key player in fitness education and certifications. He helped develop their telemarketing division and played a major role in expanding programs globally, including strategic partnerships like outfitting instructors worldwide with Reebok shoes.  2. Adaptation and Collaboration Are Key in Fitness Partnerships: Michael highlighted the importance of partnerships between leading fitness brands and educators. Collaborations with companies like Reebok brought vast exposure and validation to AFAA's education programs. However, he also notes that how big brands like Nike and Reebok interact with the sector continues to evolve, and education may not always be their current focus, despite massive historical investments. 3. Career Shifts Bring Transferable Skills: After a successful run in fitness, Pesta took a leap into the entertainment industry, producing films and learning every facet of the production business. This gave him valuable skills in production, marketing, and distribution—skills he would later apply upon returning to the fitness and telehealth sectors. 4. The Next Big Thing-Telefitness as an Extension of Telehealth: Michael's current focus is to create a trusted, HIPAA-compliant platform that not only vets the best personal trainers but also positions them for direct referrals from healthcare providers. This effort aims to solve the industry's historical inability to connect personal training with mainstream healthcare. 5. Support and Upskilling for Personal Trainers: Telefitness will provide personal trainers with new opportunities for entrepreneurship, offering lead generation, business-building support (like webinars specifically for virtual training), and potential client referrals sourced from both healthcare and consumer channels. Trainers won't be charged upfront SaaS fees; instead, the model will center on revenue-sharing. The emphasis is on elevating trainers' roles, including launching specialties like the “medical personal trainer.” Resources:  Michael Pesta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-h-pesta-satori-1a9776a5/  AFAA: https://www.afaa.com  Classroom Trainer: https://www.classroomtrainer.com   Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com  Promotion Vault: http://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: http://www.higherdose.com

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, JD Vance, Elon Musk. Eric Weinstein called them Trump's SuperTicket: his circle of former opponents who set aside their differences, unified under the same banner, and invited their followers to do the same. The strategy worked, winning votes of many who weren't typically MAGA – including fitness superstar Jillian Michaels, who says Trump wasn't her “first choice” but she ultimately voted for him “because I believe in this person so much: Tulsi [Gabbard].” Jillian Michaels is a fitness expert, entrepreneur, and media personality. She created The Fitness App, winning best-of awards from both Google and Apple. Michaels has authored 8 New York Times best-selling books and hosts the Apple award-winning podcast ‘Keeping It Real.'

AFAA call in the goddesses once more as we finish up the second season of Ah! My Goddess. But wait there's more and were excited to finish up the series as we approach the following week to come!

Fascia and feeling good. You'll be hard-pressed to find more of an expert on those two topics than Sue Hitzmann, creator of the MELT Method—a pioneering self-treatment that can ease and prevent pain while it boosts performance.A fitness star turned sought-after neurofascial science educator, Sue is an internationally recognized manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascia Research Society. But she's most known as the dynamic creator of the MELT Method—her innovative self-care technique became the topic of her New York Times best-selling book, The MELT Method, and its 2019 follow-up, MELT Performance.In a word, Sue's knowledge of human anatomy could be called encyclopedic. And her passion for helping others create astounding, measurable change in their bodies is evident in every lecture, training, and class she leads. Her empathy for people in pain began with her own journey out of a debilitating case of plantar fasciitis and experiences as a manual therapist. Driven by curiosity and a quest for a holistic understanding of pain and the effects of aging, her thousands of hours of neurofascial research and clinical application with clients laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most game-changing techniques to hit the wellness and fitness industries—MELT. This groundbreaking, clinically proven program offers a do-it-yourself answer to the root cause of issues rather than temporary relief. It's the antithesis to surgery, pills, and ‘put a bandage on it' approaches. As Sue's private practice grew, she painstakingly developed custom soft rollers and hand and foot treatment balls—consistencies designed to restore calm and efficiency in the body by mimicking a therapist's touch—giving her clients, and eventually the world, the power to learn to heal themselves. Today, countless people have used MELT to restore their whole-body efficiency and discover a newfound sense of vibrancy and health. Since MELT's arrival in the early 2000s, Sue has personally trained thousands of certified MELT instructors from around the world. MELT has been integrated into the practices of medical doctors, massage therapists, pilates and yoga instructors, fitness professionals, and more. She currently divides her time between New York City and the Florida coast. More about SueSue's qualifications include certifications in neuromuscular, craniosacral, and lymphatic drainage therapies. She earned her Masters in Exercise Science at NYU.Sue has been a leading presenter for national organizations such as IDEA, ECA, and PMA.Through MELT, she's an accredited continuing education provider for ACE, AFAA, NASM, PMA, and NCBTMB.She's appeared on podcasts and television programs like Nightline, The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, and The Rachael Ray Show.MELT has been featured in magazines including SELF, More, Prevention and many others. Prior to MELT, she appeared in some of the top-selling fitness videos of all time. She's held a private manual therapy practice since 1998, working with clients who suffer from a wide range of issues, injuries, disorders, diseases, and dysfunctions.
