It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey. That’s something that I think this guest understood early on. Rob continued to try new things and push himself beyond simply losing weight. He is enjoying the journey towards better, not just focusing on a number. This “What’s Next?” attitude has taken Rob many places including his upcoming bodybuilding show in October. I had a blast recording this one, and I know you’re gonna enjoy it!

After a near death experience, PJ decided enough was enough. From that day forward, he’s worked to become the best version of himself that he can be.

Chance Lorinczy struggled with his weight, addiction, and other pretty heavy stuff leading him to a dark place and weighing over 600 pounds. In 2019, Chance decided to “own his shit” and he hasn’t looked back since. He’s made some impressive physical and lifestyle changes, but even those accomplishments can’t compare to the mental changes that made all the other change possible.

Frank Markosek has undergone one of the most impressive transformations I have seen in a long time. Not just the tremendous physical changes, but the intense mental changes that made the physical changes possible. Frank joined me to have a very real and vulnerable conversation about his extreme weight loss journey, his past failed attempts, and why this time is different. We also talk about how Frank uses his journey to pay it forward, who he looks to for inspiration, and our shared fondness of tacos. There is so much greatness in today’s episode.
