Carson Clough joins Robbie for a follow up conversation after his silver medal performance in Paris 2024. Carson takes us through his training leading up to the Paralympics, through the PTS4 triathlon, and the party that ensued after his victory.  I cannot say enough about this warrior. He’s a true American gentleman and an inspiration to all. He would never say this about himself so allow me to shout it from the rooftops! Much love, Carson Clough.

Carson Clough grew up a sports guy. He competed in all areas of his life, all the way up to collegiate lacrosse at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Tragedy struck when a boating accident severed one of his legs and mangled the other. A talented surgical team and a bit of luck saved one of his legs but amputated the other below the knee.

Join us for a glimpse inside the mind of a young man who had his life turned upside down and in a matter of months turned it rightside back up. Carson Clough is nothing shy of a badass.

Jamie Brown, renown Charlotte restauranteur, suffered from anxiety and severe panic attacks resulting in depression and often suicidal thoughts. She tried everything. One day, as a last ditch effort, she began to consider that her "mental" symptoms could be some sort of autoimmune response. She took this further and started to test her response to foods. Six years later, she hasn't had a panic attack since. In this episode, Robbie brings in Dr. Carlos Jorge, MD who is triple board certified in family medicine, lipidology, functional medicine and anti-aging and Dr. Nicole Fodel, DC who has an MS in Oriental Medicine and is a Licensed Acupuncturist, to join the conversation with Jamie about her nutritional journey. Three amazingly educated and experienced humans doing a roundtable on nutrition and mental health...what more can you ask for?!

Robbie was welcomed into the home of Kim and Penn Holderness to record an inevitably fun, hilarious, and inspirational conversation. The overnight rise to fame from a digital Christmas card, a co-authored best selling book titled ADHD is Awesome, and a vulnerable share around the not-so-obvious battle of anxiety are just a few of the topics covered in this episode. Kim and Penn are two of the most genuine, energetic, honest, driven, and outright fun people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Damn this one was fun!
