Celebrating 100 episodes, we're beyond excited to have Flex Lewis, bodybuilding icon and beacon of resilience, light up our 100th show with tales of triumph and the power of a strong community. We traverse his fascinating journey, from his Welsh roots to the global bodybuilding stage, all while keeping his humor and humility intact. This isn't just a reflection on physique and fitness; it's about the friendships forged through shared struggles, the laughter that carries us through, and an homage to the people like Conor McGregor who inspire us by simply being themselves. As we orbit around Flex's world, we uncover the mindset of a champion and the evolution of his alter ego. It's a profound look at the intersection of authenticity and ambition, where family support and a blue-collar work ethic merge with the glitz of public life. Listen in for the behind-the-scenes narratives of gym ownership, the Dragon's Lair dynamics, and how Flex's life has been sculpted by the same resilience he brings to the stage. It's a candid conversation that explores the delicate balance of personal growth within the limelight, and how to hold on to your roots no matter how high you climb. Wrapping up with our Mount Rushmore of Success and Trauma, Flex and I consider the icons who've shaped our lives and delve into the oft-overlooked common threads that bind the most successful among us—revealing that sometimes, it's the hardships that carve the path to greatness. This episode is a heartfelt tapestry of lessons learned, dreams chased, and wisdom imparted, perfect for anyone seeking inspiration or just a great story. Join us in celebrating this milestone with Flex Lewis, where laughter, life lessons, and lifting converge into an episode you won't want to miss. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:01) - Fitness Podcast Interview With Flex Lewis (0:05:05) - Building a Strong Mindset for Success (0:16:42) - Evolution of Athlete's Alter Ego (0:23:32) - Bodybuilding Champion Reflects on Career (0:35:27) - Admiration for Champ Conor McGregor (0:40:01) - Mount Rushmore of Success and Trauma (0:50:28) - Gym Ownership and Public Speaking Journey
