Hitting rock bottom. Struggling with self-image. Battling against emotional triggers.These are some of the challenges Kenny Santucci faced head-on as he metamorphosized from an insecure teenager into a successful trainer and gym owner.Still, conquering the accountability and self-discipline that rescued him from the darkest places wasn't a straightforward path. It was a bumpy road, full of traumatic experiences— like being body-shamed by a teacher in his teen years and contemplating ending it all after being jobless, unable to train, and suffering a painful breakup. Instead of giving up, Kenny used these setbacks as a catalyst for change, relying on daily habits and consistency as the building blocks of his success.Kenny is one of New York's top trainers and a thought leader in the fitness industry. He is a brand ambassador for Michelob and Fitaid, and collaborated with Reebok, Under Armour, and Adidas. He also owns NYC's biggest health, fitness, and wellness expo, STRONG New York, and is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for health issues.“I put everyone else's success ahead of my own, which will eventually make me successful.”Today, Ginni sits down with Kenny Santucci to discuss how early struggles with body image and self-esteem pushed him to turn fitness into a lifestyle, not just a profession. They also talk about using physical transformation as a gateway to emotional growth, how accumulating small wins pays off in the long run, the misconceptions created by social media on body image and health, and more.What You'll Learn:(5:20) About lifelong habits born from childhood traumas (10:20) The role of consistency and daily wins in personal transformation (14:50) Small wins are the stepping stones to get out of the darkest places (21:00) The transformational power of accountability and consistency Resources:STRONG New York: https://www.instagram.com/strongnewyork/?hl=esConnect with Kenny Santucci:Website: https://www.kenny-santucci.com/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/kennysantucci/?hl=esYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKEiXU_67Fb31rg6v1cERQgX: https://twitter.com/kennysantucci?lang=esConnect with Ginni:Website: www.ginnimedia.comInsta: https://www.instagram.com/theginnishow/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ginnimediaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginnisaraswati

Sometimes, the biggest life lessons arise from the darkest of places. Imagine being wrongfully accused of a crime in a faraway land. You’re taken against your will, imprisoned, and subjected to days of solitary confinement that you can’t even count because you don’t know if it’s day or night.It would be understandable if anyone came out of a situation like this emotionally scarred, harboring a negative worldview.   But the will to survive depends on hope. Every ounce of willpower and resilience becomes just as important as food and oxygen.And if you can harness this deep courage, you’ll come out a stronger, braver, and more grateful human than you were before. Today, Ginni Saraswati welcomes entrepreneur, journalist, and international speaker Sam R. Goodwin.  He’s one of the few people who has traveled to all 193 countries in the world, including Syria and North Korea.
