In this powerful episode of Other People's Shoes, we explore the true meaning of transformation — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. Much like the 80s classic Transformers cartoon, where characters could shift into stronger, more capable versions of themselves, today’s guest, Roman Fischer reveals how he tapped into that same transformative power through fitness. Bullied and body-shamed growing up, Roman struggled with negative thoughts and the pain of others’ judgments. But everything changed when he discovered the gym. What started as a way to escape became a path to empowerment. Through the discipline of weight lifting, Roman found confidence, clarity, and control over his own narrative.

We dive into:

Roman’s early experiences with bullying and self-doubt

How fitness became a safe place for growth and healing

The mindset shift that helped him overcome negativity

Why it’s never too late to start your health journey

The power of routine and showing up, even on the hard days

His favorite quote: "Motivation gets you going, but consistency keeps you growing."

If you've ever struggled to take the first step toward your goals or felt limited by your past. Roman reminds us all that we are more than meets the eye — and that the strongest transformation always starts within. Join me as I walk in Roman's shoes.
