In this episode I talk with Jay Williams, also known as Jnetics, who has built a successful fitness brand training and coaching movie directors, athletes, and celebrities like Antoine Fuqua the movie director of Training Day, Eddie Murphy, Chris Tucker, Ali Woodson from the Temptations, and many more. He is a Michigan native who came to California to start a new life and with no money and had to live homeless for awhile living under pickup trucks, shielding himself with cardbox boxes from the cold winds at night, and didn't know how he was going to eat the next day. Jay talks about his story of how he remembers being called a bum and from since then has decided to never judge someone else because you never know what someone's going through or their story before you get to meet them. Now he has worked with many influential people and has transformed over 3000 lives with his 90 day Jnetics fitness program helping people lost weight and transform their physique and mindset. Many people call Jay Muscle Mentor because he not only coaches people on the proper ways to train and helps them overcome their limiting beliefs that get in the way of success both physically and in life. This has been one of the most powerful interviews I've done so far and you will see why as you listen to this interview and hear Jay's story and heart to want to help people.

In 1993, he became a member of the legendary group Earth, Wind & Fire, and ascended to become the band’s musical director in 1994.
