The Jennifer Kamara Podcast

Tony “the GOAT” Taveras sits with me to talk how to make lemonade when life hands you lemons. From having to walk away from a 10 year NFL dream because of an injury, to then becoming one of the youngest sales leaders at LA Fitness, and now co-owning America’s largest roofing company, Tony tells me about how grit, perseverance, and purpose gave him the strength to not just get through but thrive in life. Tony further shares how to be a great salesperson (it is not about selling), how to train as a championship-winning bodybuilder, and what success means for him these days as a father and leader. Always a fun convo with Tony!
