Fat Kid Podcast
With 42 years of being the "Fat Kid," I am thrilled to share experiences in confidence-building throughout my life! Come along with me and my wife Amanda, who also just happens to be a "Skinny Kid". We are on a mission to change the views of health and wellness in the US, heck maybe even the globe!
The Fat Kid Podcast is a collection of interviews, stories, insights, and jokes mixed in with some self-help, research articles, and more! We intend to have fun, but explore topics and people that are relevant, and interesting!
Our goal is to breathe a breath of fresh air into challenging issues like confidence, leadership, relationships, parenting, and more!
Thanks for taking the time to check us out! We hope you enjoy it & come back for more!

#32- Michael O'Brien "I had a moment that I said, whomever is listening, if you save my life, I promise I will stop chasing happiness."
Michael's last bad day was in 2001, when he was hit head-on by a Ford Explorer going 40 miles an hour while biking toward the vehicle. While time slowed down in his mind, it did not slow down enough for him to avoid the collision. After many rounds of surgery and months of recovery, he was told that he would never live the same life he had before. Walking, talking, and returning to normalcy would be stacked against him. He chose to regain his life and ultimately take a different path to lead him where he is now.
Michael hasn't had a bad day since, or at least he knows how to approach his life differently, so he doesn’t. Michael has become an author, speaker, executive coach, and more! You can find him here: Michael O'Brien
Listen in as we talk:
- Helping people become better leaders. Leading with empathy and clarity
- How to decide when to change, and chase opportunities instead of happiness
- Preventing a bad moment from turning into a bad day
- Pausing, breathing and reflecting- meditation
