Every once in a while, you meet someone whose presence reminds you that joy, resilience, and purpose are not just ideals — they’re choices. They’re the product of hard-won experience and deep personal growth. My guest today, Ted Guice, is exactly that kind of person. His life and work reflect a quiet strength and generosity that leave a mark on everyone he meets. He’s one of those people in the LGBTQ+ community who uses his own challenges, even the darkest ones, as fuel to uplift others. Through honesty, vulnerability, and service, Ted has turned personal setbacks into powerful tools of connection and healing.
Ted speaks openly about addiction, self-worth, aging, and the need to keep moving — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He believes in staying connected, making people feel seen, and embracing this chapter of life as the most meaningful yet.
In this episode, we explore Ted’s incredible journey, his love of community, his belief in transformation, and the lasting impact of just showing up — for yourself and for others.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with my friend, the inspiring Ted Guice.
Thanks for listening. If you are interested in connecting with Ted you can find him on his website at TedGuice.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/tedguicefitness.
Be Bold, Be Free, Be You!
