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!
