Ben explains his shift from clinical paths to coaching, driven by a desire to help people through behavior change and the realization that coaching is more about psychology and people skills than just programming.
Episode 251: Scrawny Teen to Vegan Bodybuilder: Coach Sawyer's Story
Q: What is your guiding philosophy to avoid the pitfalls of extreme bulking or cutting?

Episode 251: Scrawny Teen to Vegan Bodybuilder: Coach Sawyer's Story
Q: What motivated you to move into coaching and help others with their fitness journeys?
