20: In today’s episode, I'm joined by Roberto, a Tampa native and fellow Florida man. Roberto’s journey is nothing short of incredible—he's a West Point grad, a former Army Officer, and a leader in counterintelligence. After his time in the military, he dove into the fitness world, even launching his own app to help others get in shape. These days, he works as an IT Services Client Executive for a global tech company (and yes, he’s still in incredible shape, ready to flex at any moment). When he’s not working or hitting the gym, Roberto also dabbles in acting for commercials, TV, and film.

Today, we're talking about everything from military life to body-building, and everything in between. Tune in for some great insights and a whole lot of fun!
