## Resource

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit nontoxicpodcast.substack.com In this episode of Non-Toxic, I’m joined by fitness influencer Colin Davis to explore the intersection of muscle hypertrophy, masculinity, and climate activism. You might remember Colin from the Carbon Bros finale , but a brief cameo didn’t do him justice—so we’re diving into the full, extended conversation here. Colin is breaking the mold by proving bodybuilding isn’t just for the right wing. He argues that to reach men today, the left needs to meet them in their own digital spaces and speak their language. We get into the surprising links between empathy and physical strength, while Colin deconstructs some of my own biases about gym culture. It’s a wide-ranging, candid conversation that feels like a long-overdue hang. Non-Toxic Newsletter is supported by listeners like you. Consider becoming a paid subscriber today.
