Rob Raffety is four weeks into his “Fitness at 50” experiment and still going strong—thanks in large part to weekly accountability calls with his cousin and coach, Zachariah Lawson. This episode captures their candid check-in: the highs, the hiccups, and the hilarious. Rob opens up about cheat days, power outages, and resisting the urge to give up on a rainy day. Zach keeps the insights flowing with motivational mantras, lifestyle tips, and encouragement to make wellness a habit, not a chore. Whether you’re 30, 50, or somewhere in between, this riff reminds us all that success is built on showing up—even when the lights go out.
