Imagine waking up and realizing it was time for a massive lifestyle change. Losing weight—and keeping it off—is tough for anyone. It takes discipline, new habits, and a complete mindset shift.

Now imagine taking full ownership of that journey… 👉 Losing nearly 120 lbs in just 11 months 👉 Doing it at only 17 years old

That's exactly what Matt Markiewicz did.

This week, Matt shares how he locked in on his goals, transformed his life, and proved what’s possible when you commit fully.

This week Ti and Matt talk about the business side of being a physician in a private practice with Vivek Sood. Vivek is a great example of someone who has been open to accepting new challenges that have come his way. He came to the US at the age of 14 and followed his family's path into medicine. Along the way he made many choices that exemplified the work/life balance that is paramount to him. Those early decisions and mantra's ("live like a resident") has allowed him to share his knowledge with doctor's around the country on how to run a more economically efficient and rewarding practice. Vivek also shares his inspiring stories of mission work he has been able to orchestrate around the world. A great conversation with a compassionate man!

This week Ti and Matt speak with Nick Manis about his journey…so far! Nick is a walking billboard for the themes the guys like to discuss on the podcast. Nick went from being injured and wanting to quit lacrosse to being the captain of the University of Maryland’s lacrosse team that won the national championship in 2017. Using that same determination that he could do hard things; he went on to start a business (in the middle of a pandemic) and do ultra-marathons to honor his uncle who passed away from Parkinsons. Nick is still early in his journey, but as you will hear he has the right attitude and team around him to tackle the next challenge.

This week, Ti and Matt sit down with real estate agent Blake Wood. While Blake is known for helping clients find their homes, his own journey to find his home (passion) is equally compelling. From driving across Australia to an unexpected meeting with his future wife in Italy—despite growing up just 45 minutes apart—Blake’s path has been anything but conventional. Supported by family and guided by key mentors, his story is a reminder that life doesn’t need to be fully mapped out at 18 to be meaningful and successful.

This week’s guest is Del Ritchie, a lifelong sports enthusiast and respected local historian. At 90 years old, Del welcomed us to the iconic Ritchie Sports Bar, where we recorded this episode and explored his remarkable collection of memorabilia. His keepsakes—spanning over 600 Orioles games, 34 Masters Tournaments, and countless other events—are not mere displays, but cherished reminders of experiences shared with family and friends. It’s an inspiring conversation with a true gentleman.

For a podcast that is focused on moving forward, this week is a curve ball as the guys take a look back at episodes 31 through 56. Frankly not much has changed. They are still mystified by the fact that they know these inspiring and passionate people, and are totally confused that people actually listen to this! Seriously, we are grateful to the listeners and guests for building this community and look forward to more challenges and spit-takes in season 2!
