I’m doing something completely different today. My guest isn’t a renowned fitness or nutrition guru, but he’s one of the most influential men in my life. In honor of Father’s Day, my guest for this episode is my father.  My dad and I have had an evolving relationship – and I’ll be honest, at times it wasn’t so pretty. I have mixed emotions about my feeling towards him as a child and later as a troubled teenager. At times I loved him, and at others I feared him. And while it’s painful for me to say it, at times I believed I hated him. As a kid my father seemed at times playful, and at other times wild and scary. He seemed larger than life, so strong and so fearless. As you’ll hear in this interview my first memories of my father are from the farm where I grew up, and as you’ll also hear, my father and I have now come full circle.
