This weekly podcast is all about fitness, running, and life in general from the perspective of a guy who's "been there". From 300 lbs on the couch to 130 lb weight loss to 100 mile ultramarathon finish... he's run the gamut. Join him as he shares his story and welcomes guests to share theirs too. Fitness doesn't have to be hard - get out of your own way... you CAN do it. Whatever "it" is.

I've been seeing a lot of posts online where people ask others to motivate them. I don't think they truly understand where health and fitness motivation realy comes from...
Motivation …We tend to overcomplicate things and make life hard - like with nutrition! Good news is - it's as easy as figuring out calories, macros, and making good choices.
Less isn't …Well, it doesn't mean NOTHING, but we seem to think it has a much larger role than it really does. For SOME reason we think sweat is a clear indicator of fat burn. It's time we h…
