What do a 450-pound tire, a back injury, and 60-second squats have in common?

For Michael Cassidy — everything.

In this episode of Happy Accidents, Michael shares how a devastating back injury, a pandemic career pivot, and a total lack of time to work out led to the unexpected birth of his fitness brand: the 60 Second Workouts App.

We explore:

  • The accident that kickstarted his health journey
  • Why “not having time to exercise” became his biggest business idea
  • How he used LinkedIn to build an audience in tech + wellness
  • The science behind micro workouts and why they actually work
  • The power of small experiments and weird pivots that pay off

Michael proves you don’t need a perfect plan. Sometimes, the detour is the path.
