  • Justin LaRue - Nutritional Alchemy and The Antidote to a Broken Health System
    May 28 2025

    What if your greatest transformation began with a pot of broth and a commitment to take full responsibility for your life?

    In this episode, Zack Langlois sits down with Justin LaRue, a multidisciplinary holistic health practitioner and creator of a high-integrity bone broth line. But this conversation goes far beyond food—it’s a powerful exploration of emotional resilience, radical ownership, and the lifelong pursuit of personal truth.

    Justin shares how his path through physical wellness opened the door to deeper self-inquiry, and how bone broth—simple, ancestral, nutrient-dense—became both a tool for healing and a metaphor for building something nourishing from life’s discarded parts.

    Justin invites listeners to look beyond surface-level wellness and into the messy, rewarding work of becoming someone they can be proud of—moment by moment, meal by meal. Whether you’re just beginning your health journey or refining your path, this episode will meet you where you are.

    This one is for anyone who’s ready to stop outsourcing their health, reclaim their narrative, and commit to a more intentional life.

  • Redefining Health For The Modern Man
    May 21 2025

    What happens when your world falls apart—and instead of running, you turn to the land, your spirit, and your community to rebuild?

    In this raw and revealing episode, host Zack Langlois sits down with Adam Lewis, a land steward, regenerative farmer, and founder of Markamba Acres, to explore a journey that begins in personal turmoil and grows into something deeply grounded. From early explorations in natural healing to confronting identity and loss during the pandemic, Adam shares how pain became the catalyst for spiritual awakening and transformation.

    This episode is a deep dive into what it means to be a modern conscious man. Zack and Adam explore masculinity through a new lens—one rooted in maturity, service, and emotional integration. They talk about the necessity of community, the illusions of control we hold onto, and how reconnecting with nature helps us remember who we really are.

    This episode is an invitation to anyone navigating uncertainty, identity, or loneliness. Adam’s story reminds us that healing isn’t about escaping—it’s about rooting deeper into who we are, where we come from, and the communities we choose to build.

  • Melissa Jovansk - How to Become an Epic LIFE Athlete
    May 14 2025

    What does it take to turn a PR hustle into a wellness movement? Grit, heart, and a whole lot of burpees. In this episode, Zack Langlois sits down with Melissa Jovanski—better known as MJ, the founding partner of City Shred and a powerhouse in the fitness and wellness world.

    MJ’s story isn’t just about workouts—it’s about creating something bigger than yourself. From the early days of running a PR agency to leading one of Canada’s most electric fitness communities, MJ shares how authenticity, partnership, and resilience have shaped her journey. She also gives us an inside look at the upcoming Winter Shred 2025 event and what it means to create a movement that inspires others to become “life athletes”—people who bring their fitness mindset into every part of life.

    This episode is equal parts hustle and heart. MJ reminds us that entrepreneurship and wellness are deeply intertwined—and that showing up for your community starts with showing up for yourself. Whether you’re building a business, a movement, or just trying to find balance, her story is a spark for anyone ready to level up.
