I Was 11 When My Dad Died! Here’s What Every Young Man Needs To Hear About Success

This one’s personal. In this episode, I sit down with Greg O’Gallagher, founder of Kinobody, fitness expert, and one of the most driven men I’ve ever met, for a raw and honest conversation about legacy, loss, and finding your purpose. Greg opens up about the profound impact his father, Michael O’Gallagher, had on his life before losing him to leukemia at a young age. From building Canada’s largest privately owned real estate company to shaping the mindset Greg carries today, his father’s influence lives on in every rep, every goal, and every moment Greg chooses discipline over ease.

We talk about grief, growth, and how those pivotal childhood moments still fuel the fire today. Greg also shares how fitness became his outlet for processing trauma, how fasting and breath work changed his life, and the exact framework he uses to stay in peak shape year-round.

If you’ve ever lost someone too soon or wondered how to stay grounded in your purpose when life hits hard, this conversation is for you.

This is more than a podcast episode. It’s a conversation about what truly matters.
