In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Alan Calimbas for a real, wide-ranging conversation about what actually matters in life.

We talk about dogs and the power of rescuing animals, not just how it changes their lives, but how it changes yours. From there, the conversation naturally moves into mental health, therapy, and why doing the inner work is just as important as showing up physically.

We get into health and wellness, mindset, training, working out, and building discipline, but not in a “grind culture” way. This is about sustainability, self-awareness, and using fitness as a tool to support your mental and emotional health.Most importantly, we talk about service—why helping other people, giving back, and contributing to something bigger than yourself is where real fulfillment comes from.This episode is honest, thoughtful, and grounding. If you care about personal growth, mental health, dogs, or simply becoming a better human, this one’s for you.
