Summary

Nicolas Cole, is a nonfiction writer, fitness model and a listener of The Fat-Burning Man Show. Cole, as he’s called, spent the first 18 years of his life undiagnosed with celiac disease, and just happens to have a history as one of the highest ranked World of Warcraft video game players in North America. Cole spent the first 18 years of his life barely breaking the 100 pound mark. As the epitome of a hard-gainer, you'll definitely want to hear his story. You can also check out his guest post HERE.

Before we get to the show though, I want say a BIG thank you to those of you who wrote in with feedback about the show. I love all the positive feedback, and genuinely appreciate the constructive criticisms you've provided. Be sure to keep it coming by shooting me an email.

The easiest way to do that is to make sure you're on my email list, and just reply to one of those first emails.

One of the big pieces of feedback has been that you all really appreciate that there are no commercials or sponsors. We want to keep this listener support for as long as we can, and a big shout out to those who have already donated. You guys have seriously stepped up! If you want to donate, you can do so by clicking HERE. Again, thank you!

Alright, on to the show with Cole where we talk about:

Why grinding in World of Warcraft makes gaining 80 pounds of pure muscle easy.
How the world treats you as a 90 pound weakling.
What celiac disease actually feels like.
Why one bodybuilder paying it forward to a scrawny teenager changed the world.
