This week, Daniel and I turn the mic on ourselves. If you're newer to the show, this is a good place to catch up on how we got here — we walk through the same questions we ask every guest who sits down with us: our history with sports and physical fitness, when and where it started, what it actually looked like, and how our relationship with fitness has changed (a lot) since then.

From there we widen the lens and get into where we think the health and fitness space is heading — what it actually means to be healthy right now, and what it's like building a career and a show inside an industry that's as full of noise as it is genuinely useful information.

No polish, no wellness buzzwords, just the real version of how two guys ended up doing a podcast about this stuff.
