“You never choose your path, message, charity. It chooses YOU.” “Everyone needs two mentors; one person in your field and one person you want to be like.” - Lawrence Biscontini

It has been two years in the making, but the Two Fit Crazies were finally able to steal some time with the one-of-a-kind inspirational human by the name of Lawrence Biscontini. Joining the show from his quarantine retreat, or extended “staycation,” in Puerto Rico, Lawrence shares how “fear, family history, and an evil stepmother” inspired him to pursue what was most important to his heart. This self-proclaimed “resident of the world,” who mainly resides in New York, Puerto Rico and Mykonos when he is not presenting around-the-globe, has spent the last 5 months laser-focused on mentoring and consulting fitness professionals on how to elevate their career, make deeper connections on deeper levels, keep the “kind” in human kindness, and how to think like a business. Lawrence reveals why he was compelled to create a Virtual Global United Fitness Roundtable to provide access to the best ideas, tips, and secrets from top industry leaders from around-the-world. From his work with outreach programs for the Sisters of St. Joseph to the Biscontini Scholarships, Lawrence is a truly remarkable soul, and one in which you will surely want as a friend and mentor.
