Five years ago, Olivia Amato was living an entirely different life. Working in finance, she knew she wasn&#39;t happy pursuing her 9-to-5. And so, she left it to explore the New York fitness industry — and the rest is history. For episode 248, she talks about what that transition was like for her, how she felt about the flexibility in her starting schedule. Plus: She gets candid about navigating COVID and what it was like to date her now-husband during the pandemic, as well as where she sees herself going next in her career.
