In this Episode, we welcome Randy Hetrick.

Randy Hetrick, a former Navy Seals Special Operations Commander retired after 14.5 years of service to seek the challenge of graduating with his MBA from Stanford, where he then formulated his business plan to launch what we know today as TRX.

I love training with a TRX, I love learning from leadership cues within our Military, and from the creativity behind entrepreneurial stories.
