Eternally grateful for my wife @lifeofgracee_ surprising me with water right after a toasty 4 x 1 mile repeat workout

And at the same time, seeing this new track is great for the future but a total gut punch after that experience😂

Today is @manowellness.co’s 5th birthday. 

Five years ago, I started helping people with their nutrition and fitness for $1.95 a month.

It was the summer before grad school. I named it Russomano Training, and ran it out of a nutrition tracking app.

I started because of what fitness and nutrition had done for me. I fell in love with the way they made me feel. I wanted everyone around me to have it too. To this day I believe your health is the best investment you can make.

In March of 2024, that belief became Mano Wellness. It went from me to we. We built a team of one-on-one coaches so we could reach more people. And then we started working with great companies.

In January of 2026, my brother Nick left his career to join Mano as cofounder. Today we run corporate wellness programs alongside a team of coaches doing the one-on-one work that started all of this.

Five years in, one lesson keeps repeating, and it is the same in business and in health. Anything built on a quick fix or instant gratification is rarely what is best for us. The things I am proudest of, and the moments I have been happiest, came from patience, delayed gratification, and small inputs repeated every day, trusting they would compound. They have.

And none of it happened by myself. Every step took people who believed in me before there was much to believe in. Mentors, coaches, coworkers, friends, and most importantly family. I am grateful for every one of them who trusted me and carried this alongside me.

Just getting started.
