We were lucky to catch up with Kekoa Godfrey recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Kekoa thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you get your first job in the field that you practice in today?

When I got my first client I knew at that moment that I wanted to help people become the best version of themselves. I wasn’t going to let money be my drive. I grew up in a poverty stricken environment and my goal was to help as many people as I can become healthier individuals without them having to stress over the price for my services.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I got into the industry when I realized what fitness and nutrition could do for me and for others. I’m an alcoholic/addict and fitness saved my life over and over again. I got into competing in bodybuilding as an outlet for sobriety and I was able to reach the top of the sport by winning my IFBB Pro Card. This sport is expensive and I want to offer the opportunity for others to accomplish their goals in bodybuilding without money dictating their opportunity to do so. My paycheck is seeing my clients accomplish their goals. Everything is driven by money and if I can help relieve some financial stress for others that want to pursue bodybuilding or just becoming the best version of themselves, I will do so.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

My passion m, my drive and what I was able to do not only for myself but for others both physically and mentally!

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

I’ve had to work other jobs in and out of the industry while trying to build my business. It’s taken years to build what I have built today. It don’t happen over night! Keep believing in yourself and never, ever give up on your dream(s).
