THE FIT UNITED Podcast

All I can say is WOW. It's been a year - we all have our versions of what this year turned out to be, but let me tell ya, it was a whirlwind over here in my world.

I explain my 7 month absence from the podcast, where I've been, what I've been doing, and what's in store for me and the podcast for 2021.

More importantly, I've got very special people on this episode as my guests - these are 3 of the most important people in my life, and you finally get to meet them here.

Thanks for all of your support over the past year, for tuning in all over the world.  I look forward to connecting with you all in the New Year. Bring on 2021!

Stay Healthy & Strong,

Your Host, Kevin.

Back to a more traditional interview episode.  My guest is Thea Hill - another inspiring figure in my life.  She is a national-level athlete (in a really cool sport) , an avid runner, teacher, mom to 3 boys, and - an amputee.  She was born with a condition whereby the top of her left leg was not there at all. We talk about the challenges growing up as an amputee, and how she is succeeding in her life today having overcome those challenges. Oh, and she was featured in a Marvel Comics commercial.  How cool is that!? It was such a pleasure interviewing Thea Hill - I hope you enjoy it!  If you found this episode helpful, or know someone it would be helpful to, please share and spread the love!

SPECIAL SERIES: On The Ground Around The World We will be talking to my friends, family and colleagues around the world, and we'll get their take on what they're experiencing during the COVID-19 lockdown.  The goal is to share and open our eyes to what's going on in different parts of the world, but to of course maintain a sense of levity through it all.

This week, we talk to my friend Maria Apreza.  We met in the Philippines in 2013 as we were both a part of a volunteer mission for disaster relief post Typhoon Haiyan in some of the hardest-hit areas of the country.  We talk about what it's like to be in Houston, Texas during the COVID-19 Pandemic, how impactful the shutdown has been to the economy, particularly around the rodeo where Maria worked for for several years, and how she's adapted to life in self-quarantine.  

Take care and talk soon.

This week, we talk to my friend Khristina Dioquino.  We grew up together through high school here in Canada but she has since moved to the UK where she resides now.  We talk about what it's like to live in London during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Take care and talk soon.

I chat with my friend Emily Schenk, who is currently in Florence, Italy in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown.  She is currently studying there, and got caught up in the middle of it all.  We talk about what measures the country has put in place to help stop the spread of this pandemic, and whether she'll even be able to return home.

Talking openly about our past can be difficult.  Often times, it can even be painful.  But today’s guest has no qualms about her past, and talks openly about the challenges she has experienced and how they have shaped her to be the fun loving, energetic and bubbly person that she is today. My guest Alyssa Anderson is a social media influencer and is also the co-host of the Approachable Podcast.  We talk about how she travelled the country as she grew her role in the restaurant industry at one of my favourite restaurants, Cactus Club Cafe! She also shares how her dad’s passing was a turning point in her life, but in a very positive way; and how her friendships and relationships are so vitally important, especially her relationship with her best friend Samantha, who is also an accomplished Youtuber, social media influencer and the other co-host of the Approachable Podcast.

I ask a very important question around a topic that comes up first thing every year, and that is, "What are your New Year's Resolutions?"

I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys have to say about it and whether you believe in making resolutions or not.  It's so interesting to hear the different perspectives on why some of you don't believe in resolutions, and the reasons behind that.  On the flip side, why some of you believe in resolutions and what they mean for you.

We get into that, what some of my goals are and more, on this first episode of 2020!
