Today on the guest mic, we have the multi-talented Kia Williams--the 2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year--hosting Cary Williams. Cary is the founder and CEO of Boxing & Barbells, which is a boxing education company offering her B&B Method certifications to trainers and licensing opportunities to gyms. She certifies trainers around the globe to teach the B&B Method.
Her entrepreneurial spark was lit 25 years ago when she founded PRIME TIME BOXING, INC. Cary, who competed in amateur boxing and is now a level 4 Olympic boxing coach, grew PRIME TIME to 4 boxing clubs in California and even began franchising in 2008. Since then, Cary has sold all of her clubs and now focuses solely on her boxing/fitness education company, B&B Method. This dynamic star has been featured across an array of broadcast media as well as print giants such as Shape, Men’s Fitness, USA Today and The New York Times.

Today on the guest mic, we have the fabulous Kia Williams, the 2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, hosting Tanci Maree, CEO and Founder of Turn Up DaFitness, a program designed to motivate people to get active and dance their way to fitness.
As Tanci describes it, the program mixes athleticism, dance, performance and—of course—fun! Tanci is the first to admit that it took her a while to find her groove after her college athletic career as a basketball player—and school—were over. But eventually, she defined a niche for herself and honed her mission, which is creating a space for women to celebrate, challenge each other and to Live Out Loud!
Listen in as Tanci describes her determination to shape a world-wide community of courageous women who want to shake up the world, turn it upside down, and show our fellow humans the difference between merely breathing and being alive! Wow! Are you ready?

In this episode, she welcomes Alessandro Pisanu, who was a 2022 finalist for IDEA’s brand-new Emerging Trailblazer of the Year award.
