I’m excited to kick off the new season of Live Well and Thrive with a truly
captivating conversation with my friend, the incredibly talented Frank
Grillo. Originally from New York, Frank’s journey from training clients at
Gold’s Gym to becoming a Hollywood actor is nothing short of inspiring, and
I’m thrilled to share it with you.
In this episode, Frank and I take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing
about our early days and our mutual passion for fitness. Frank opens up
about his martial arts training in Thailand, his experiences working
alongside legends like Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, and the
importance of maintaining a childlike wonder in life. You’ll hear some
unforgettable stories, like our Saturday lunches with Stallone and Arnold
Schwarzenegger, and the valuable lessons Frank learned from these icons.
We also dive into Frank’s notable roles, including his transformative
performance in Warrior, the challenges and rewards he faced in the TV
series Kingdom, and the behind-the-scenes stories from his time on the set
of Tulsa King. Frank shares insights into his disciplined lifestyle, his
unique approach to nutrition and training, and the sacrifices he’s made
along the way to achieve his goals.
This episode is not just a look at Frank’s remarkable career but also a
testament to the power of dreams, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit
of excellence. I couldn’t think of a better way to start the new season,
and I hope you’ll join us for this engaging and heartfelt discussion with
Frank Grillo.
