Today, we sat down with a prominent American actor and fitness personality, Billy Blanks. In the late 80s, he starred in several movies and soon ended up creating the Tae Bo program which contains components of martial arts and boxing. Later, he began to retain celebrity clientele to help them achieve their fitness goals.
We also had the opportunity to interview a renown, top chef in the United States military, and Master Sergeant, Chef Rush. In September 1996 he served as the Joint and Vice Chief of Staff for eight general officers and four Chief of Staff of the Army over the next three years. He has also worked in the White House and the Presidential Guest House.
