In this episode, we interview IFBB Pro bodybuilder, Javiohn Seymore.

From Georgia, Javiohn started bodybuilding in high school and his primary adversity at the time was the insecurity of being one of the only kids bodybuilding at his school. Being scrawny and "built like a windshield wiper," he fell in love with lifting weights and a fire to prove people wrong.

We talk about his journey through COVID and the connections and relationships he had built to allow him to continue training throughout the pandemic, which subsequently led him to receiving his pro card.

At the ripe age of 24, he continuously strives to make a name for himself in the world of bodybuilding.

In this episode, we interview Ottawa Senators defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker.

We talk about his rise through the ranks starting in his short lived high school hockey career at the Edge School, his two-year stint in the AJHL, then his three years at the University of North Dakota before signing a contract in the NHL with the Senators in 2021.

During his time in high school he suffered an injury which had him out for 3 months. He battled his way through rehabbing and was given the opportunity to play in the AJHL the following year where he was in a league of his own for two years. We discuss how he managed to capitalize in such pivotal years of his career, along with some improvements in training along the way to place him where he is today.

Grant grew up playing various sports and really took to football and lacrosse. During his recruiting years, he was destined for playing at the highest level in either sport; however, a series of injuries, starting with a broken foot, put doubt in the eyes of coaches.

After two major injuries and an obstacle everyone had to face, covid 19, Grant was offered a spot at UMass Amherst.
