111 - Reps and Resilience: How Fitness Rewrites Your Story

What’s up, friends? This one’s personal. We’re diving into fitness—not just the sweat and the gains, but what it really does for you. I’ve been that chubby kid who felt mediocre, and I’ve been the guy obsessing over a marathon time that nearly broke me. 

Today, I’m unpacking it all: how exercise transforms your body (think 35% less risk of heart disease—nuts, right?), rewires your mind (15 minutes of running cuts depression risk by 26%), and builds a confidence that bleeds into every damn part of your life. We’ll talk about my brother Drew, who went from 265 pounds and depressed to crushing marathons and owning his life—proof you can do hard things.

But here’s the catch: fitness can trip you up if you let it define you. I’ve been there—crying at mile 10, feeling like a failure because I didn’t hit a goal. So we’re getting real about not tying your worth to the numbers, whether it’s miles, weights, or the mirror. 

Expect stories, science, and a bit of tough love. If you’ve ever doubted yourself—or just need a push to lace up those shoes—this is for you. Hit play, then hit me up with your own journey. Let’s keep getting after it together.
