In today's episode Shaun opens up about his lifelong battle with stammering—and how lifting weights and mindful breathing, helped him speak (and live) with confidence. From childhood trauma and speech-therapy tricks to hitting a 140 kg dead-lift PR, we cover the science, myths, and mindset behind better speech, bigger gains, and balanced nutrition. If you’ve ever felt held back by anxiety, social shyness, or confusion about cardio vs. strength training, this chat is your playbook for turning vulnerability into power.
