"What we choose to be, we become." For Brad Carlson, the journey to self-awareness, fitness, and coaching others to be the best version of themselves started from realizing that he was not the best version of himself. Brad shares how, in 2013 sitting alone his own dog, "Lucky", looked at him in disbelief at who he had become. Unhappy, overweight and alone. It was in that moment that Brad shares his brave journey to not only live the best version of his life, but to help others embark on their best lives as well. Brad Carlson is a certified health coach, spiritual practitioner, author and speaker.

He has coached hundreds of student athletes and dozens of adult clients for greater health and happiness in their life.
