In today's episode we are excited to bring you Charlie Metzner from our local firefighting departments here in St. Louis as well as a driving force behind the St. Louis Hero Network - a nonprofit dedicated to giving back to the families of current and former local first responders! The son of a firefighter himself, Charlie knew that public service was something he wanted to invest in and dedicate his life to. Taking the leap from serving the community to serving those who serve the community, Charlie's mission of giving is one we can all learn from and take something away from. If you are looking to get involved, make sure to check out St. Louis Hero Network's new website that just launched!

Today we are so excited to be welcoming back for the second time...Patrick Woodling! Pat was featured on the show just over two years ago and we've been chomping at the bit to sit back down with him ever since. Partially because he's a great pillar of our local community, but also - because we can't stop laughing when he's here! Join us as we breakdown his journey at Watson's Martial Arts, getting in trouble as a city youth in south county, and of course - some crazy stories featuring some less than reputable characters otherwise known as crackheads (no we're not kidding).

In today's episode we are pleased to bring you Shawn Lipe!

INTRO: HYPERSPACE - BLUE STEEL

We are so excited to be sitting down with Colin Ledbetter for the second time and with huge developments since his first visit! As you may or may not remember Colin's tenure as a STL city police officer was met with tragedy when he was shot while on duty. Knowing full well that he might not have been out of the woods after his close call, eventually the blood clots would start and this would lead to his leg being amputated only a couple months ago. Now we're sitting down with him to talk what he's been through, where he's going, and how he's living up to the title of "built different."

In today's episode we are excited to bring on one of the newer Adventure Unknown contemporaries in Dr. Ian McIntosh! Ian was an athlete growing up with his main love being wrestling. After multiple disc injuries, most of his doctors told him the best course of action was to leave fitness alone forever - something he was not ready to do. This would eventually lead to him finding chiropractic medicine and coming back better than ever. He would then go on to switch his focus in education to that same field and now he is helping populations of athletes and working adults for five years straight all while juggling a spot as a wrestling coach at a local high school, and keeping his duties as a father and husband front of mind.
