Life Coach Randy Spelling on The Power of Purpose

What happens when you push the boundaries of what's considered normal in the fitness industry? We sat down with Rod Cooper, the dynamic Australian entrepreneur and visionary behind TMC, (The Movement Collective), to explore this intriguing question. Rod shares his inspiring journey from his start as a chef to creating his own business, and how he kept his venture afloat amidst the Covid-19 pandemic by embracing adaptability and transitioning to online training.

Rod Cooper has developed his skills over 10 years of practice to bring his creative movement practices to life. He emphasizes understanding that we are made up of multiple dimensions and looking at ourselves from an outside perspective to develop self-awareness and ask questions. Rod discusses how our emotions can compromise us as individuals, and provides advice on how to give yourself time and space when responding to something that has rubbed you the wrong way. Finally, Rod shares his insights on the importance of the 'middle way' and being adaptable with your movement practice.
