This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two, a habitual podium finisher in ultra marathons and a staunch lover of family and nature - Dominic Grossman.

Dominic and I talked about the journey of balancing our priorities as humans (work, training, our relationships, etc) with our priorities as parents, the search for “success”, how adversity can help us to grow and show us our path and the many similarities between ultra running and life (and life as a parent). 

We also covered the importance of supporting (and being supported by) our partners and laughed at how our wives tend to be the “victims of our indirect actions”. 

A big thanks to Dominic for joining me on the pod this week!

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to one, Co-Host/Producer THEMOVE and JB2 with WEDŪ Sports and Lance Armstrong, JB Hager!

We get into JB’s journey with his daughter, Raleigh, not just as a 2x Women's Pro Wakesurf World Champion but also about her mental health. This is a very personal and real episode, where JB and I talk about what it is like as a parent to watch your child struggle with mental health, how scary and hopeless it feels at times, the strains in causes on your relationships, and (probably most importantly) about what it is like to move to the “other side” of that journey.

A huge thanks to JB for coming on the pod and sharing their story and listening to ours. To all of you - if you are ever experiencing these types of challenges and struggles in your life, please know that talking to people about it really does help! Whether that is a professional, a family member, or a friend - knowing you have a support network of your own is so important. You will hear JB and me talk about this alot. If anyone out there is ever needing someone to talk to, I am always happy to share my experiences on this journey and to lend an ear. 

While we cover the mental health piece for most of this episode we also talk about WEDŪ, THEMOVE and THEFORWARD podcast, cycling, Operation Get Out, music, the perfect margarita and much more.

This week on the pod we are joined by Dr. Abdul El-Sayed! Abdul is a dad to one, physician, epidemiologist, educator, author, the former Health Director for the City of Detroit, and the host of the Crooked Media Podcast, America Dissected.

Abdul and I kicked our conversation off talking about the public health conversation around vaccinating our children, and why there is such a difference in belief in what it means to take care of our kids. We talk about the importance of learning from history, asking questions, and why Abdul feels like so many of us follow the WWE model for our conflict. 

A big thanks to Abdul for joining me on the show this week. Be sure to subscribe to his newsletter, The Incision, and his podcast America Dissected. And if you haven’t gotten vaccinated yet - DO IT!
