Radio Episode #1: Alex Danielsson | Editor-in-Chief at BODY Magazine

The first episode of Bringing Awesome Back Goes Radio has arrived and it feels great to finally have it go public. The first guest is none other than Alex Danielsson, Editor-in-Chief at BODY Magazine. His name is known within the Swedish realm of bodybuilding and fitness. Many people, including myself, have been inspired by his awesome photography as well as his carefully laid words - all neatly presented to us each month that the magazine hits the shelves. As of June 2010 we've also had the opportunity to listen in on Alex, as well as his buddy Andreas, on BODY Radio, where plenty of Swedish athletes and other profiles within the training industry have been interviewed. Alongside with all the awesome work that Alex does, he's is also the sole reason as to why I had the opportunity to make my dream a reality and end up within the pages of BODY Magazine (click here). This is my chance to shed some positive light on the man behind it all. Thanks for the opportunity buddy!
