Full Throttle Foundation & Fitness | Glen & Gina Cusimano | #185

5/5/2024
Hey there! I recently had the chance to sit down and chat with the incredible team behind Full Throttle Foundation, and let me tell you, their passion is truly inspiring. Glen, with his 20 years of experience working with kids, is all about helping them reach their full potential in sports. His dedication is contagious. Then there's Gina, who spent over 15 years in the nursing industry before shifting gears to become a trainer and gym owner. Her commitment to making a difference is palpable. What struck me most was their journey. Starting out in Overland Park, Kansas, they faced a tough decision about where to take their gym next. But instead of chasing higher incomes, they chose to move north and serve their community. Their decision speaks volumes about their dedication to making a real impact where it's needed most. If you're passionate about sports, youth empowerment, and making a difference, you'll definitely want to keep up with Full Throttle Foundation. --- GUEST Glen & Gina instagram.com/fullthrottlefitnesskc SHOW Voices of Value linktr.ee/voicesofvalueshow HOST Collis Stutzer instagram.com/coachstutzer PRODUCER NSPN linktr.ee/nspn
