In Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 of the ‘At the Podium’ podcast, Patrick has conversations with people who come from different walks of life, careers, and experiences but all share one thing in common – they have stepped fully into the transformative power of saying “Yes” to the unexpected turns of their lives.
The Fast
In this We Care Spa Limited Wellness Series, we invite nine of our favorite thought-leaders and innovators to share their own joy of healthy living. Host Patrick Huey explores new beginnings, ancient fundamentals, the realities of starting a business, the power of forgiveness, microbiomes, why babies like to dance, and much more. In every episode we see the moments of clarity when a person throws what no longer serves a purpose into the fire, and how that choice moves them forward.
