I met Malachy for the first time only a couple of days before this shoot. Needless to say, we hit it off immediately and planned for an episode while he was still in Atlanta for the weekend. He describes how he completely turned around his life, diving deep into his struggles with addiction and how he overcame them. He now runs a successful landscaping operation in Kansas City. He also co-hosts his own podcast where they discuss being young in sobriety and the program of recovery. Mal is a great storyteller and a truly inspiring individual.

An actor and fitness coach, Saunders Fitzgerald joins me to discuss everything from philosophy to masculinity. We dive deep into the evolving struggles and dynamics of young men. I thoroughly enjoy our respectful disagreements, both on this show and when he is correcting my lifting form. Even if he isn't always right, Saunders is wise beyond his years and this conversation was one of my favorites. I hope y'all enjoy it!
