The Rollercoaster Podcast

In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Colby Stringham, someone I deeply respect not just for how he shows up in the world, but how intentionally he takes care of his body, mind, and legacy. Colby’s a former corporate exec turned founder of Heva Health, a company on a mission to build generational health, not just generational wealth.

We dive deep into the crisis we’re facing in America around food, chronic illness, obesity, and misinformation, and how most of it is preventable. Colby shares powerful stories of patients, parents, and personal experiences that highlight just how much our health choices ripple into our children’s lives. We unpack the truth behind GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, the broken traditional healthcare model, and the small, daily habits that actually move the needle on physical and mental well-being.

This one’s raw, honest, and full of hope. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or defeated in your health journey or you’re just ready to take back control, this episode is for you.

You're not broken. You’re not too far gone. And you are worth it.
Let’s get after it.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daniel Goulding, pastor, father, and survivor for one of the most raw and redemptive conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Daniel shares his journey of being sexually abused as a child, burying that trauma for years, and the chaos that followed from addiction and self-destruction to a near-suicide attempt in a drug dealer’s bathroom. But this story isn’t just about pain, it’s about grace, healing, and transformation.

Daniel opens up about the moment everything shifted: when he cried out to God, not knowing if He was even real, and felt peace for the first time. We explore the beauty of redemption, what it means to forgive the unforgivable, and how he went from broken addict to preaching the Gospel and baptizing dozens at his own church.

If you’ve ever doubted God’s presence in your darkest moments, this one's for you. Daniel’s story is proof that there’s always a way back.

This is the most vulnerable conversation I’ve ever shared on the podcast. My guest, Liz Hartke, opens up about the day she gave birth to her stillborn son and nearly lost her own life. What unfolded was a series of medical oversights, a last-minute surgery, and a divine moment of surrender that changed everything. Liz shares the harrowing details of hemorrhaging alone in an ER, the nurse who saved her life by speaking up, and the spiritual clarity she gained when she thought she wouldn’t make it home to her children.

This episode is about more than trauma. It’s about faith in the fire, how God meets us in our darkest hour, and what it truly means to surrender your will. Liz’s story is a testimony to trusting the divine even when the outcome is unknown, and it will shake you, soften you, and maybe even help you find clarity in your own calling.

If you’re a mother, a leader, or someone wrestling with purpose or grief, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Heidi Rose, a woman whose story will move you, stretch you, and break you open in all the ways that matter. Heidi lost her husband, Jason, to brain cancer, and the journey there was anything but simple. She opens up about the heartbreaking transformation she witnessed as cancer took over, not just his body, but parts of their shared life. We talk about the night he passed, how their children processed it, and what it means to grieve, rebuild, and keep living.

But this conversation goes deeper than loss. Heidi speaks about her healing through trauma, through childhood abuse, and through unconventional paths like EMDR, Al-Anon, and plant medicine. She talks about finding her voice, regaining peace, and learning that real love sometimes means letting go.

This episode is for anyone who's walked through pain they never thought they'd survive. It's for those navigating grief, complex family dynamics, or simply trying to find meaning when life doesn’t go to plan.

You’ll walk away from this episode changed. I know I did.

This is grief. This is healing. This is the Roller Coaster.

This one’s personal. In this episode, I sit down with Greg O’Gallagher, founder of Kinobody, fitness expert, and one of the most driven men I’ve ever met, for a raw and honest conversation about legacy, loss, and finding your purpose. Greg opens up about the profound impact his father, Michael O’Gallagher, had on his life before losing him to leukemia at a young age. From building Canada’s largest privately owned real estate company to shaping the mindset Greg carries today, his father’s influence lives on in every rep, every goal, and every moment Greg chooses discipline over ease.

We talk about grief, growth, and how those pivotal childhood moments still fuel the fire today. Greg also shares how fitness became his outlet for processing trauma, how fasting and breath work changed his life, and the exact framework he uses to stay in peak shape year-round.

If you’ve ever lost someone too soon or wondered how to stay grounded in your purpose when life hits hard, this conversation is for you.

This is more than a podcast episode. It’s a conversation about what truly matters.

I sat down with someone who left me speechless. Nico DeGiacomo, better known as Mass of Man, isn't just a rapper or internet personality. He's a fighter. At 6'6" and 665 pounds, Nico hit rock bottom physically, mentally, and emotionally. Showering hurt. Driving was nearly impossible. Life was slipping away. But instead of giving up, Nico chose to change everything.

In this raw, deeply vulnerable conversation, Nico opens up about food addiction, mental illness, his darkest moments, and the turning point that sparked a viral 100-day transformation, one that’s now inspired millions.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Eddie Maalouf, entrepreneur, marketing genius, and the living proof that who you were doesn't have to define who you become.

He also shares the wild story of how he met his wife overseas and how trusting his intuition changed his life forever.

If you're feeling stuck, doubting your potential, or afraid to take that next step, Eddie’s story will move you, challenge you, and remind you: your dream life is a decision away.

In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sat down with someone whose story shook me to my core, Bruce Pitcher. You might know him from Extreme Weight Loss, but trust me, that’s just the surface.

Bruce’s journey is one of the most raw and powerful I’ve ever heard. From surviving childhood sexual abuse by his own father, who was later convicted and imprisoned, to living through years of silence, shame, and suicidal thoughts, Bruce opens up about the pain, the survival mode, and the uphill battle to rebuild his life.

But this is not a story of defeat. It’s one of redemption. Bruce lost over 200 pounds, built a coaching empire, became a father, and, more than anything, reclaimed his identity. In this conversation, he shares the emotional moment his suicide attempt failed and how that “failure” saved his life.

If you’ve ever felt broken, unseen, or stuck in your past, this episode is a reminder that belief, especially when it’s hard to hold onto, is the most powerful thing you can have.

This one is heavy. It’s honest. And it just might change how you see yourself.

This conversation left me speechless.

Bryan Wood isn’t just another guy with a “comeback story.” He’s a man who spiraled from elite MMA fighter to opioid addiction, heroin use, and prison time, and somehow rebuilt a life that most would’ve thought was lost forever.

In this episode, Bryan opens up about how one back injury became the first domino that led to a full-blown opioid addiction, prescription fraud, and eventually a prison sentence. We talked about how addiction hijacks your brain, the terrifying power of withdrawal, and what it really takes to rebuild your life after you’ve lost everything, including your marriage, your career, and your freedom.

But this isn’t just a story of destruction. It’s a story of radical accountability, hard-earned healing, and hope.

Bryan spent four years behind bars and used that time to reinvent who he was from the inside out. He journaled every day, wrote newspaper articles, created curriculum for inmates, and faced his darkest truths head-on.

This is one of the most raw, redemptive, and human conversations I’ve ever had. If you’re struggling, or know someone who is, please listen. Bryan’s story might just be the lifeline you or they need.

This conversation left a permanent mark on my heart. In this episode, I sit down with Brock Bevell, former undercover cop, father, and recovering opioid addict, whose raw, unfiltered story is one of pain, purpose, and unbelievable resilience. From being run over during a drug bust to nearly losing his life (and his testicle) to a brutal infection, Brock doesn’t hold anything back. We talk about addiction, the fentanyl crisis sweeping Arizona, and how he clawed his way out of a decade-long opioid addiction after being medically retired from the police force.

But more than that, Brock shares the mission that drives him today, walking the streets every day, face to face with addiction, offering hope and help to people everyone else has given up on.

This episode is graphic, emotional, and deeply necessary. Whether you’re a parent, a first responder, or someone who’s faced the dark underbelly of addiction, you need to hear this.

We talk fentanyl, trafficking, mental health, parenting, and the staggering impact of untreated trauma.

You’ll walk away changed.
