Today I had the pleasure of having Rob Eastman back in the studio! Rob has been a friend and mentor to me for a number of years now, so I decided to have him in to share his experience building a business while going through the process of recovery.   For those who haven't heard our first interview, Rob was a struggling addict for YEARS, before reaching his ultimate breaking point. Rob is now 9 years sober, and spends the majority of his time speaking to the youth about mental health, addiction recovery, and suicide awareness.

Today's episode was all about.. RELATIONSHIPS! Okay there was a little fitness talk sprinkled in at the beginning, but what you'll hear for the majority of the episode are some of the biggest lessons Dan Saunders and myself learned form past relationships. Dan shared his experience going through an extremely painful divorce, and some of the things he learned going through that process. (I'd like to apologize for the audio quality right off the bat.

I also had him share his thoughts on the value of going through school for today's entrepreneurs. As information is becoming more and more accessible, is it worth it to make the investment to get your degree? or are you better off just diving right into the school of hard knocks? Tyler makes a lot of great points in this episode and it's definitely one you want to listen to if you're considering going into business for yourself. Enjoy!

In today's episode, I had Tara Garrison interview... ME!   Tara reached out to me earlier this week with the idea of having me share about my own personal health and fitness journey. How I went from a very traditional "bro mentality" as she likes to call it, to shifting my mind towards balance and internal health.   I believe this is a message that NEEDS to be shared within the health and fitness space. So many people struggle with their relationship to food, and never feeling in control of what they put into their bodies.   Tara and myself combine over a decade of coaching and working with clients to share some of our thoughts and best tips as to how you can find balance and overcome the anxiety and struggles that so many people have around food.   I think you're really going to enjoy this one :)   You can find Tara on instagram @coachtaragarrison as well as her website coachtaragarrison.com   We hope you enjoy this episode!

Although I don't follow a Ketogenic diet myself, I have incorporated it in the past, and still see a massive amount of value in implementing a higher amount of healthy fats in your diet.
