Re-branded, re-ignited and ready to kick ass! Welcome to the new show that will now be about anything, everything and nothing all at the same time. I want to be able to expand my platform to you all and lend you more than just fitness and business, so now we will have sports, life, talking shit, and everything else! Enjoy!

Changing the scope of the show, and bringing you S.A.N.E (show about nothing and everything). I am super excited for this and to be able to have a wider varitey of topics, guests and also parody off my favorite show of all time, Seinfeld. More guests, more fun, more shit talking and just more life to come. Stay tuned and keep listening!

I was actually nervous for this one a bit! WTF! Sat down to chat with Janae Kroc, and it was every bit of spectacular and educational as I had hoped and expected it to be. We all know her from the documentary "Transformer" that came out, but this is an intimate and personal look into who she is and how she became a face for the LGBTQIA+ community. Janae is so awesome, and this was my favorite episode I have done. Enjoy!
