The final cook-out episode with the production crew and it happens to be Charlie's birthday too! 

There's no better gift than 5 stars and a review...

In this episode of The Wood Gym with Petrone, Charlie sits down with sports videographer CJ Newton for a conversation about capturing athletes in their element. From the challenges of filming at high speed to telling stories through the lens, CJ shares his journey into sports media and what it takes to stand out in a competitive field. Together, he and Charlie dive into the parallels between training and creative work, the discipline behind both, and the moments that make all the long hours worth it.

In this episode of Wood Gym with Petrone, Charlie and the crew dive into the hard truths of relationships — when to set boundaries, when to prune, and how to keep communication sharp and honest. It’s a conversation about protecting your energy, surrounding yourself with the right people, and saying the tough things that need to be said.

On the back patio, the crew dives into the hard stuff—choices that shape your future, boundaries that protect your peace, and ultimatums that demand clarity. They talk through the uncomfortable process of pruning relationships and mindsets that no longer serve the mission. It’s real talk, no fluff—drawing the line and standing firm.

Chaz rounds up the production team again for food, drinks, and discussion! More on choices, boundaries, ultimatums and responding to the feedback from part 1.
