This is a unique episode where Casey Ryan Ruff (@Casey_Ryan_Ruff) from Boundless Body Radio interviews me (Scott!) about my bodybuilding journey and current training/diet. Many people have asked for this - although I was very reluctant to talk about myself - after all the podcast is always about the guests, not about me.

However, I hope this is helpful to some of you and/or peaks your interest! Please let me know what you think and if you like it, all credit goes to Casey for the idea and awesome interviewing.
