Welcome to "The Barbershop", where real men have real conversations - uncut, unfiltered and unapologetically honest. It's the spot in our Agile Always podcast where we pull up a chair, talk life, health, and everything in-between, from the deeply personal to the universally important.

Pat Riley once said, "You have to be an active participant in your own rescue." These words perfectly capture the urgent message at the heart of this powerful episode of Officially Fenner/Agile Alway's new "Barbershop" segment, where host Rudy brings authentic men's health conversations out of the barbershop and into the open.

Rudy, joined by his brother Greg (a prostate cancer survivor turned advocate) and son-in-law David (representing a younger perspective), this multigenerational discussion tackles the staggering reality that 80% of men who live to 80 will develop prostate cancer—with even higher rates among African American men. Yet countless men avoid the simple PSA blood test that could save their lives.

The trio explores the complex reasons behind men's reluctance to seek medical care: historical distrust of the healthcare system, the masculine tendency to "tough it out," and fears about procedures and potential sexual dysfunction. With remarkable candor, they share personal experiences that illuminate how early detection dramatically improves both outcomes and treatment options.

Family history emerges as a crucial but often overlooked factor. As Greg powerfully states, "If you have had prostate cancer and you have a son, you're putting his life at risk not telling him." The conversation moves beyond detection to treatment decisions, with insights on everything from "active surveillance" (which Greg compares to "a stick of dynamite with a fuse") to radiation therapies and surgical options.

Whether you're approaching 40 or well beyond, this conversation could literally save your life or the life of someone you love. Listen, learn, and become an active participant in your own health journey. What's your PSA number?

Thank you for spending time with us today! We hope you enjoyed our conversation, related to something we said, and learned something new along the way.

Officially Fenner is starting a new chapter in 2025! First, we stand in solidarity with those impacted by the devastating California fires. We especially feel the weight of it with our granddaughter who's in college in Los Angeles, and send love and support to the people and communities who were impacted. We are also grateful for the first responders and organizations that are working constantly to help people work their way through this disaster.

For those who are new here, we kickoff season four of the podcast by reflecting on 2024 which was a very full year filled with family visits, another home project, an anniversary celebration (#45!), celebrations around the jersey retirement of NFL Hall of Famer and our brother-in-law Darrell Green, and work with a client which is challenging and that I enjoy.

In this episode of Officially Fenner, we reflect on the past year, and celebrate the joy of multigenerational living in Northern Virginia. Through all of life’s ups and downs, strengthening family bonds has remained our foundation.

Looking ahead, we’re embracing the power of AI and community engagement—especially after the success of a 2024 health fair that we participated in, which was a moment of education and learning for so many, including us. Our experiences have deepened our passion for promoting proactive health and wellness.

Most exciting of all, in 2025, we talk about our launch of Agile Always—a movement to inspire and connect people in new ways, both online and in real life. Agile Always will feature not only physical health, but mental wellness, eating well, relationships, and everything that it takes to live vibrant and stay agile! We have some great guests lined up to join us. The best part is the we want YOU to be an active part of this as we set new goals, and dance through 2025 with optimism, energy, and open hearts.

Beyond health, we’ll also have fun exploring personal style and storytelling, because of course. Rudy will share some unforgettable moments over the years—including encounters with legends like Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen!

We hope you enjoy Episode 1 of Season 4 of Officially Fenner. Follow us here and give us a like...tell your friends and family too! Together we'll make 2025 our best year yet!
