There will be inspiration, LGBTQ+ themes, and inappropriate humor. It will be a way to articulate my feelings, focusing on wellness and fitness. That won’t be all that it’s about. I will absolutely mix in my dark sense of humor to discuss the world at large and issues I am passionate about. Any time someone decides to start a podcast, the first question is why should you listen? I get it, I’ve seen all the jokes online about everyone and their mother starting a podcast. Don’t enough people have one? The answer is definitely yes, but if you hang with me, I want you to know that I am fully engaged in understanding from a scientific perspective all things health and wellness, and I wish to document and share that with all of you. How did I get here? How did I turn on the switch? What makes me tick? What makes anyone tick for that matter? Is it chemical? Is it spiritual? Is it actually just as simple as developing a plan and sticking to it? These kinds of questions intrigue me to know end, and I love that I will have this platform to explore the answers to those questions. Every week I’ll have a guest from wide ranging backgrounds to discuss these topics in hopefully an informative and inspiration way. I really hope you’re willing to choose this bear so that we can find out together. New episodes will be dropped every Sunday night.

4 months ago I was 340 pounds, 4 months from now I’ll be running an Ironman 70.3, all in a goal to eventually run a full Ironman.

Follow along on this journey through this podcast. I’ll be discussing all things health and wellness. I’ll be taking a scientific approach in learning about what makes people tick, including myself. Every week I’ll have guests on from all types of different backgrounds to get their take on health and wellness.

Be aware though. I have a really dark sense of humor, and most topics are on the table to be discussed…and it can potentially get dark.

You’ll laugh, maybe cry, but definitely be inspired.

I really hope you choose this bear, so we can find out ALL of the answers to the universe!

See ya!
