What's up everybody? It's All Star and World Series champ Nick Swisher here, and I'm stoked to tell you about my new podcast.

The Nick Swisher show, right here on podcast 1. If you know me, you know I've worn a lot of hats in my career, and each one of them has had highs, lows, and a whole lot of learning in between.

And that's exactly what I'm bringing to this podcast. You're going to get crazy interviews with athletes from their struggles to their successes, and all their unbelievable superstitions along the way.

You're going to hear from hometown heroes that are stepping up to the plate and making positive change and influences in their communities.

I mean, we've got scientists, coaches, comedians. I'm telling you whether you're an athlete, a parent, a coach, or just looking for a little energy in your life, then home plate is right here.

It's Old School Soul with New School Bives. It's the Nick Swisher show, coming soon, wherever you can get your podcasts.

This show is brought to you in part by Lomi. If you want to start making a positive environmental impact or just make cleanup after dinner that much easier, Lomi is perfect for you.

This week on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Tara Henley. Tara is a Canadian journalist and the author of the National Bestseller Lean Out, a meditation on the madness of modern life.

Her 20-year career spans TV, radio, online media, magazines, and newspapers. Her writing has appeared in publications across Canada and around the world, including The Guardian, The Los Angeles Times, A Daily Mail, and The New York Post.

Henley publishes a popular substack newsletter and podcast on Heterodox Thought.

I had such a great conversation with Tara. She's one of my favorite Heterodox thinkers in the space. I feel like I've been speaking to all the women in that space that I love.

And we talked about things that were political and cultural and social, but also just hip-hop, and it was so fun and refreshing.

All right. I'm with Tara Henley. Everyone, welcome to Walkins. Welcome.

Appreciate it. Thanks so much for having me.

Thank you for coming. I've been wanting to chat with you for a while. I'm just a huge fan of your substack and your voice in the in the discourse capital D.
