Yupâitâs trueâafter more than 10 years and nearly 1,200 episodes, Iâve decided to step away from the Muscle for Life podcast⊠at least for now.
In this final episode, I share how I came to the decision to pause the pod, whatâs next for me and Legion, and how Iâll continue creating content to help you get fitter, healthier, and happier. I also reflect on what the show has meant to me, what Iâve learned along the way, and why now feels like the right time to move on.
So, to everyone who has listened, shared, worked on, appeared on, and supported the podcastâthank you.
Itâs meant a lot.
Farewell for now.
