The Meat Mafia Podcast

Alexander Cortes is an online health coach with decades of knowledge on performance in the gym. He recently dove into the world of Muay Thai in 2020 and spent a year training in Thailand before returning back to the US. His background provides a unique lens into the world of health and wellness, but he also frequently writes about life more generally, specifically about masculinity, building confidence, and living a fulfilling life. In our conversation with Alexander, we discussed: Traveling as a tool for growth Finding archetypes and role models Maintaining high standards for yourself and others Challenging yourself in the gym and through combat sportsBRAND AFFILIATESLMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix: LMNT is loaded with the necessary electrolytes without the sugar.
