    Overview:

    The conversation explores the theme of breaking free from the limitations of the 'real world' and embracing new ideas and concepts. It emphasizes the importance of not letting fear and societal norms hold you back from expressing your unique spark and making a difference. The conversation also touches on the topics of authenticity, integrating the shadow self, and red flags to look out for in trainers. In this conversation, OB and Smitty discuss red flags to look out for when hiring a personal trainer. They emphasize the importance of trainers being able to target and address underlying issues causing pain or discomfort in clients, rather than simply working around them. They also discuss the significance of trainers continuing their education and staying up-to-date with the latest research and techniques. Other red flags include trainers speaking poorly about other clients, lacking passion and energy, and not providing explanations or justifications for their training methods. They also touch on the importance of humility and the ability to say 'I don't know' as a trainer.
