Today didn’t unfold exactly how I planned. Between supporting my mom through a procedure, navigating workers in the house, liberating a cat, recording this podcast and trying to get my workout in, everything got a little bunched up. So, I’m talking about staying flexible when life starts lifing, having backup plans, finding different ways to care for yourself, and remembering that showing up is enough for now.

This week I’m recording from the new place after a long, fun Labor Day that included friends, a little outdoor stand-up, and a reminder that you don’t have to be an expert to do something that excites you. I talk about creativity, comedy, filmmaking, curiosity, and why sometimes you just have to do the damn thing. We’re all figuring it out as we go—and maybe that’s part of the fun.

I'm in the middle of a move, fresh off a wonderful weekend away, and recording what will probably be my last episode from the cottage for a while. It's got me thinking about change, being present enough to notice the life we're actually living, and figuring out what deserves to come with us into whatever's next. Sometimes creating a new life means creating a little space first. So what are you taking with you—and what are you ready to leave behind?

Change is coming whether we like it or not, so in this episode I’m thinking about how we can get a little better at moving with it instead of fighting it. I talk about improv, workouts, yard work, consistency, and why sometimes life is really just jazz, baby. The goal isn’t to control everything—it’s to take care of what you can, adjust when you need to, and keep moving. Embrace that change, cuz it's comin for ya. See you soon!

In this episode, I’m talking about learning to stop comparing who I am today to who I used to be. Whether it’s fitness, comedy, health, work, or anything else, our relationship with the things we love is going to change — and that doesn’t mean we’ve failed. After everything my body has put me through over the last year, I’m trying to listen to what it needs now, appreciate what I can do today, and build forward from here instead of constantly looking backward. So here's a reminder that it's okay to Learn from Your Past Self...and Move Forward.

Here's a movie review for David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street (2026). 

I liked it! If you want to see a fun sci fi family drama blockbuster type thing, go check it out! And/or listen to this and know more about it before choosing to see it or not. 

Plus an announcement about an upcoming movie review project I'm starting. 

Have a good one!

This week, I’m keeping it simple: make one choice and take one action. You don’t have to completely change your life today—you can write one sentence, walk around the block, send one email, take a shower, or do one small thing that helps Future You. I also got a pretty literal reminder of this when, while thinking about my goal of making a movie, I got a text asking me to come help make one. Sometimes the life you say you want is already inviting you in—you just have to say yes and take the next step.

Sometimes the plan changes because life gets busy, your body needs something different, or your internet decides to completely stop cooperating. In this episode, I talk about postponing my five-minute workout launch, helping produce a couple of great local comedy shows, adjusting to a year that looked nothing like I expected, and learning not to treat flexibility like failure. Whether you have five minutes, one small step, or only enough energy to get through today, it still counts—and you are allowed to begin again from wherever you are. And feel free to stop by my venmo (@rudytyburczy) and support with a Birthday Burrito if the spirit moves you! Thanks!

Five minutes still counts - during a workout and, sometimes, according to your partner. In this quick episode, I revisit the 55 five-minute workouts I created before becoming a trainer at the Y and explain why I’m bringing them back to YouTube beginning next week. We talk about the six primary movement patterns, escaping the cycle of waiting for the perfect workout, and choosing one small thing that helps you feel stronger, happier, or more alive. Sometimes life happens and we have to adjust, but the best workout is still the one we’ll actually do.

Some days you wake up ready to conquer the world, and other days making your bed, eating lunch, or recording a short podcast is plenty. In this episode, I talk about lowering the bar without giving up - making the next step so manageable that you can actually take it. I also explain why I finally ended my 550-day Duolingo streak and chose better sleep over an angry cartoon owl. I didn’t have my most focused day, but I recorded, shared, and showed up - and sometimes that is the win.
