Manage episode 461279026 series 3593148
This week on the podcast, I sit down with the incomparable Johnjay, a man whose voice has graced the airwaves for over two decades as part of the iconic Johnjay and Rich Show. But this episode isn’t just about radio stories, it’s about life, loss, and the relentless pursuit of health, healing, and connection.
Johnjay opens up about the transformative moments that changed everything for him, including the passing of both his parents within 18 months and the health journey that followed. From his first Bikram yoga session to the freezing depths of daily cold plunges, Johnjay’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of small, consistent steps toward self-improvement. We also touch on his battles with body image, the unexpected fallout from a K-pop fandom incident, and the lessons he’s learned as a father and husband.
Our conversation weaves through moments of vulnerability, humor, and profound reflection. Whether you’re here for his radio wisdom or his unapologetically raw take on life’s highs and lows, this episode has something for everyone.
