    Description

    In the beginning, he was a shy, skinny kid who joined the wrestling team at his Palm Springs high school and then surprised everyone by switching gears and entering into the world bodybuilding at age 17.
    American bodybuilder, Chris, “the real deal” Cormier, dedicated all of his time to his craft and was named first runner-up a record 6 times at the prestigious Arnold Classic. And at the peak of his career, Cormier was said to be well on his way to achieving the ultimate prize -- the coveted Mr. Olympia title.
    But what if one day, an unforeseen hospitalization threatened your life and consequently derailed your quest for the title for which you’ve worked since 1983? Would you throw in the towel and start a new career at the age when most of your peers were thinking about retirement? Or would you decide to switch gears and guide someone else toward that elusive prize, the one which had always remained, just out of your reach?

    Titles in the series (100)

    Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
