Society & Culture
Unadulterated conversations diving into our thoughts on health and fitness, music, society, culture and everything in between. Every Monday there will be a new guest from Toronto. Let’s step away from likes, swipes and comments and get back to having real conversations with real people. Unadulterated. On this week's episode, I'm joined by the founder of One Academy, Jesse Bruce (IG:@oa_jbruce). At the age of 18, Jesse could barely run 5 km. Fast foward today, Jesse Bruce finished third among 1,500 runners at the World’s Toughest Mudder, a 24-hour endurance race in Atlanta that saw Bruce run nearly 150 kilometres, in and out of water, completing roughly 400 physically exhausting challenges along the way. But, in a way, those hurdles – demanding as they were – pale in comparison to the obstacles Bruce overcame to get to where he is today. It took hitting rock bottom for Bruce to begin pulling himself out of that darkness. Now, he is nearly nine years sober, he has won more than 50 obstacle races, and 2020 marks the third anniversary year since he opened his own fitness club, One Academy, a 10,000 SF facility in Leslieville. 2020 has been a helluva ride, but "We Are Stronger As One". Don't miss this one! Make sure to follow the Podcast on your listening platform and on social media to be up to date with a new episodes every Friday! (IG: @alwayssunnyinthe6ix )
