  • S2E8: Mental Health in Men and Defying the Odds With Austin Richesin
    Aug 23 2023

    The guys take an interesting twist on this episode of Whiskey Fit with a guest who doesn't drink. However, the whiskey is far from being the star of this show. Evan, JJ, and Ryan are joined by Austin Richesin, a guy once you know, you love.

    Austin shares his incredible story (including why he's not enjoying a glass of whiskey), and how he has defied the odds all along the way of his life. They discuss the instability of his upbringing, how he ended up in jail, and the steps he took to completely turn his life around.

    The guys do enjoy a bottle of Double Cask Black Bottle, but it definitely takes a back seat in this episode.
