Last week, I sat down with Grammy-nominated rapper, multi-platinum artist and first-time author Big Sean to delve into mental health, purpose and his debut book, Go Higher, set to release this month. We get right into the value of owning your definition of success, knowing your purpose and pursuing it. During our conversation, Sean talks about tapping into your roots, setting boundaries and knowing what your priorities are in life. He talks about one of the toughest lessons he’s had to learn—accepting the things outside of his control—and how transformative that’s been for him. “One of the biggest blessings in your life is growing pains,” he says. Sean also talks about how money isn’t the true measure of success. Rather, it’s the feeling of living in alignment with your purpose.

Sean also opens up about the grief of experiencing a miscarriage and offers advice for people going through that kind of trauma. Throughout the episode, he discusses how being a father has helped him grow, how the best drug is life and how he’s evolved as an artist and human.

It’s the new year, and so many of us want to set ambitious fitness goals. But how do we create ones that actually work?

I chatted with Dr. Andy Galpin, a leading expert in human performance science, muscle physiology and strength training, to talk about how to live a healthier and more fulfilling life. Andy shares practical advice he’s gleaned from years of training elite athletes.

In this episode, Andy breaks down how to set fitness goals you can actually stick to, ways to tackle stubborn fat, how to configure your workouts so you don’t crash and burn and tips for balancing your strength training with cardiovascular exercise.

We also talk about how to improve your health outside your workout, how you can build muscle without spending so much at the gym and how working out actually boosts longevity.

If you’re trying to feel good and look good in the new year, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
