Description

This is Work in Progress — a show about building a body, mind, and life that stand the test of time. Hosted by Michael Catherwood, a lifelong athlete and black belt who’s spent decades in pursuit of strength, discipline, and peace. Here, we go beyond reps and routines to talk about what really keeps us in the game — the habits, the mindset, and the meaning behind the work.

Whether we like it or not, the disease of addiction is profoundly misunderstood. I fully realize that this disease is complex and challenging to understand, but unfortunately, I think it's often misunderstood willfully.
