In this episode, I sit down with David Spieth an award-winning indie filmmaker whose story is one of incredible resilience. David has faced cancer and life’s curveballs, from creating his raunchy comedy Class Acts and living in Nashville, to navigating serious health challenges and personal setbacks.

While he’s not fully through his battles, David’s mindset and outlook are truly inspiring. Alongside his medical journey, he’s worked with shamans and embraced shamanic practices to stay focused, positive, and grounded proving that healing is as much about spirit and perspective as it is about the body.

His latest work a film inspired by his own journey aims to bring laughter and light to others facing tough times, especially those enduring chemotherapy. David’s story is a beautiful reminder of the power of humor, purpose, and perspective even in the darkest times.

In this episode, I’m joined by Loyd a long-distance trucker with stories from the road and beyond. From life spent in hotels and long-haul flights home, to starting a YouTube channel documenting his travels (and hotel reviews), Lloyd shares what it’s really like living a life mostly away.

But that’s just the beginning…

He opens up about supporting his wife through breast cancer, her recovery, and how that chapter sparked a “why not?” attitude — leading them to their first visit to a nudist resort (and how they haven’t looked back since!). We also touch on natural disasters, flooding, and the surprising freedom that can come from embracing life on your own terms.

It’s a light, funny, and surprisingly uplifting conversation — tune in for a glimpse into Loyd’s world on the road, in hotels… and occasionally, in the buff.
