Some years lift you up. Others stretch you, test you, and force you to grow in ways you didn't expect.  And 2025? It was the kind of year that does all three.  In this powerful episode, Ted shares an honest reflection on what worked, what failed, what hurt, and what ultimately made him stronger in 2025. From the explosive start to the year, to the sudden collapse in social media traction, to a $20,000 mistake, and finally to rebuilding the business with clarity and intention—Ted opens the curtain on the real journey behind the scenes.   You'll hear how losing momentum in his main acquisition channel forced him to confront blind spots, rethink his strategies, and rebuild the foundations of his business. You'll learn why the right coach matters, how the wrong partnership can derail months of progress, and how returning to his true strengths—podcasting, connection, and speaking—brought his mission back into alignment.  This episode is a reminder that growth doesn't come from the easy seasons. It comes

Using a viral debate comparing Big Macs to salmon, Ted explains why food stories and diet labels miss the real picture.  You'll learn why calories are still king, why excess body fat destroys your health regardless of how "clean" you eat, and what data actually matters — from body composition and visceral fat to fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1C, and cholesterol levels.  Ted also shares how two people can eat the same foods and have totally different health outcomes, and why the only way to know if your diet is working is to track objective data, not rely on beliefs or feelings.  In this episode, you'll learn:  What is the real relationship between calories, food quali
