Arthur Shadwick joins me on this week's podcast to talk about how at 550lbs he was a pastor who was not practicing what he preached. Arthur had to turn his pain into power to overcome the obstacles that stood in the way of his success. We get into the bias against weight loss surgery, facing his mortality as a new parent and more! Do not miss his inspiring journey that has lead him to taking home the win on a bodybuilding stage!
