Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the Fat Burning Man

Show where we talk about real food and real results.

What's the difference between being in lockdown and being in jail?

The answer from today's guest will surprise you.

Today I'm grateful to be here with my new friend Doug Boost.

Doug is a personal trainer, author and host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast.

So he has a unique perspective as someone who actually spent time in jail.

A former convicted felon and drug addict, Doug made the best of his time in jail to discover

fitness and reinvent himself, which brings me to a quick point.

You know, a lot of people when you're looking around in these challenging circumstances,

let's say, of the past year and change, a lot of people are getting weaker or they're

getting broken or all sorts of bad things are happening around them.

They're letting it get to them.

And then a small minority of folks are actually getting stronger because of this.

They're getting into dojo mode and getting disciplined.

Doug has a lot of interesting perspective on how we can get out the other side of all

these challenging times even stronger than we would have otherwise been.

So Doug's story was featured in documentary film called From Felony to Fitness to Free.

And of this year, I just want to say he's 12 years sober.

So congratulations to Doug.

You're going to dig this show.

But before we get there, here's a note that came in from Connie in our 14 day wild challenge
