Feeling uninspired and bored with life's normal routine, I wanted more than a challenge, I wanted to become a SPARTAN. With two months until my first Spartan Race, I discuss my decision to sign up for this obstacle course race, my approach to tackling this athletic feat (training, nutrition, supplementation and restoration) as well as my fears and doubts.

I don't have to tell you that 2020 has been far from perfect. But you've made it this far, through COVID and quarantine and phased re-openings. Maybe you lost your job, or even worse, a loved one. You became besties with an app named, Zoom.

Or maybe you haven't felt like celebrating at all. And that's understandable. Life wasn't meant to be lived like a real-life version of The Sims. You had plans. And those plans were tossed out the window. But that's why it's more important than ever before, to find your own light.

"The days are long but the years are short." - Gretchen Rubin

Celebrate a special 100th episode of YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!

In 2013, I bought my first microphone, but it wasn't until 2017 that I began podcasting. What if I hadn't chickened out? What if I hadn't talked myself out of starting? That was nearly 6 years ago, and it got me thinking about what else I would do differently.

What advice would I give my younger self? What advice would you give yours?

With the help of friends, listeners and former YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! guests, I'm sharing 9 pieces of advice I would give my younger self with the hopes that I wasn't too much of a stubborn kid to take it.

Plus the motto I've lived by for over 20 years. You can USE it today and every day going forward.

Hear advice from:

Do you remember what you were doing at 25? My guest celebrated this milestone birthday opening the boutique boxing gym, WORK TRAIN FIGHT (WTF) in New York City.

Now, 8 years later, I had the pleasure of interviewing founder and owner, Alberto Ortiz. We discuss how a kid from the Bronx swung for the fences long after his baseball aspirations were sidetracked by an injury, why he became an entrepreneur, how he tapped into his network to find investors make his dream of opening a gym a reality, what his family said when he swapped out a lucrative career in fitness for entrepreneurship, the 3 essentials that differentiate his gym from competitors and MORE.

We also celebrate WTF's Youth Boxing for Change, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to empowering young people from under-resourced communities through boxing, mentorship and community service.
