Fitness, Wellness, and Longevity

Welcome back!

It is my pleasure to welcome this week's special guest Rudy Arcara. Rudy is a personal trainer and fitness instructor in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, Florida. He is one the greatest football players to come out of Westchester County, NY, winning two state championships with Harrison High School before moving on to play Division 1 Football at Iona College in New Rochelle, NY.

After graduating from Iona, Rudy sustained a back injury that left him in debilitating pain and unfortunately led Rudy to becoming addicted to prescription pain medication. Rudy and his family decided to seek treatment in South Florida and that's where Rudy's journey started moving in a more uplifting direction. After become sober, Rudy decided to ditch a more corporate gig in favor of his passion: fitness and coaching. His story resonates with not only those in the recovery community, but also the post graduate athletes looking for purpose after a life of competition.

I appreciate Rudy for coming on the podcast and being so honest and candid. I am sure his story and words of wisdom will not only educate but inspire those who listen.

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with ESPN Analyst and Commentator Paul Carcaterra. Paul has been a good friend and mentor to me for over 15 years, and I admire him on so many levels. One of which is staying in shape in his 40s. I talk to him about how he stays in shape while being on the road 100+ days a year in some of the biggest college towns in the country.

We talk about his workouts, what he brings with him, and even the best eateries in the country!

Paul also has a podcast through US Lacrosse Overtime, highlighting some of the best stories about the sport of lacrosse.

One of the most stressful parts about becoming a dad has been helping my baby get consistent and restful sleep. Not only for his benefit, but for the sanity of myself and my spouse!
