They touch on feedback received, the importance of real results in fitness, and the phenomenon of healthy lifestyle enthusiasts flocking to Costa Rica. Brian shares his experiences in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, discussing its safe and vibrant community, his spontaneous adventures, and the health-conscious people he meets.
