Meet Joseph Peer: A Social Entrepreneur's Journey into Health & Fitness - Part 1

07/25/23 • 34 min

Social entrepreneurship isn't butterflies and flowers all the time; sometimes, it can be a bit stressful. When the stress hormone runs loose, we can either numb its effects with alcohol, nicotine, and binge eating or help our body process it. What is the best option to do so? Exercising, meditation, and healthy eating and sleeping habits.

Today, as we start wrapping up the special avant-garde entrepreneurs series, we meet the inspiring Joseph Peer, a true citizen of the world, social entrepreneur, husband, father, and the Owner of Crescent Tactical Fitness in Tennessee, USA.
