This episode means a lot to me. Lee Shorts didn’t just inspire a great conversation, he inspired a whole new chapter.

After we recorded this, I knew it was time to create something different. That moment led to the launch of my new podcast, Greenroom LA, a space for raw, unfiltered talent and real stories from people on the come-up.

I’m sharing this on LAconic because I want the listeners who’ve been with me since the beginning to know what’s next. This is where it all started.

It all started in NYC David Ambroz at an early age observed his mother and siblings ignored by people as they begged for money and food. As time went by he was placed in foster care and made a name for himself. He recently wrote a memoir called  A Place Called Home (Book), that highlights his awful upbringing and how he was able to triumph it all. David Ambroz joins LAconic to talk about his book and how the process went. Also, valuable lessons he has learned. I hope this episode sparks something within you.

The Golden Era of bodybuilding was from the 50s-70s. “Zipper” was part of this lucrative era in professional bodybuilding . He won Mr. America, Mr. World and Mr. Universe. I had the pleasure of interviewing him and learning from him what tools he used to achieve such success. This episode is filled with great words of wisdom. Hope you leave inspired and motivated to do something about your life. We also have bonus content on Zipper's opinion on today's bodybuilding.
