    • Cancer, Community, and Calling B.S. with Matthew Zachary

      Fitz Koehler sits down with Matthew Zachary—her “Matato”—a 30-year brain cancer survivor, founder of Stupid Cancer, host of the Out of Patients podcast, and the voice behind the upcoming book We the Patients.

      What unfolds is raw, sharp, and unexpectedly hopeful. They dig into what life after diagnosis really demands, why young adults with cancer have been overlooked for far too long, and how the system still manages to fail people when they’re most vulnerable. There’s talk of big ideas, bold solutions, and a few deeply personal moments that stop you in your tracks.

      It’s honest. It’s provocative. And it just might change how you think about survivorship, advocacy, and who actually holds the power. Buckle up. Thanks for keeping The Fitzness Show in the top 3% of all podcasts worldwide. Please subscribe, share, and leave a review.

    • Meet Danni Duncan- Fitz's Australian Fitness-Preaching Cancer-Crushing Twin

      Is Danni Duncan the Australian Fitz… or is Fitz the American Danni? Either way, this conversation crackles. From teaching fitness to staring down colon cancer, Danni shares how strength training, tiny daily wins, and unapologetic tough love carried her through diagnosis, chemo, and the climb back to running, motherhood, and real life with four kids.

      Nothing is sugar-coated. Expect straight talk on colonoscopies, processed meats, excuses we tell ourselves, and what it actually takes to keep moving when life gets heavy.

      If you need proof that hard things are survivable—and motivation to stop negotiating with yourself—this episode will light the match.

    • No Leg, No Problem! Meet Firefighting, IRONMAN Earl Barnes

      Fitz Koehler sits down with Earl Barnes, a full-duty firefighter who lost his lower leg in a motorcycle crash—and somehow came back stronger, faster, and funnier. Earl walks through the long road of surgeries, evolving prosthetic technology, and learning to train and race with a blade, all while returning to the firehouse and chasing Ironman finish lines.

      What makes this conversation special isn’t just the comeback—it’s Earl’s upbeat attitude and sharp sense of humor. He breaks down the practical realities of prosthetics, life on the job, and swim-bike-run logistics, while sharing the mindset and communication skills that helped him push through setbacks without losing his joy.

      Inspiring, honest, and unexpectedly fun—this episode proves resilience pairs best with perspective. 💪😄
