Episode #12: Ed Buckley, Chairman and CEO of Peerfit

Today I’m joined by Ed Buckley. 


 


Ed is  the Chairman and CEO of Peerfit. 


 


In today’s episode, I talked with Ed about pioneering the concept
of “fully-funded fitness”, building the billion-dollar bridge
between fitness and healthcare, and what the significance of the
name, “Peerfit”. 


 


I had a great time chatting with Ed and I hope you enjoy
listening.
