Matt Izzo is a triathlete and a coach. His transformation is one of the craziest I've ever seen. He described his first 35 years as "fat, weak, asthmatic, and weak." Since then, he has transformed. Over the past 12 months, Matt has completed a marathon, David Goggins' 4x4x48, and a half Ironman. We spoke about the transformation of his body, but also his mind.
