Meet Paul Takami- an LGBTQ+ Activist, the Senior Director of Product Development for Beachbody, a fitness coach and the host of the GYST podcast- a series of short podcasts that explore the ways we need to get our stuff together and start upgrading our lives. In episode 23, Paul shares his life journey from turning his hobby of fitness and health into a passion and a career, creating a fitness product that was licensed and sold through infomercials on QVC and more, being on the right side of history as a plaintiff with his husband for the federal lawsuit against Prop 8- the landmark case that legalized same-sex marriage in California and changed the lives of millions- and leading a life as an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ equality and more.
As a well-respected and outspoken activist and fitness professional, Paul Takami is known for empowering others to take control of their lives, make confident decisions that align with their truth and leave complacency behind. In this real talk conversation, Lucca and Paul discuss how obstacles in our life become the way, the importance of not letting your “no” mess up your know, living a certain way versus looking a certain way, his life changing journey with activism as a plaintiff with his husband for the federal lawsuit against Prop 8- the landmark case that legalized same-sex marriage in California in 2013- and coming out for whatever you need to come out for and living your truth.
