Graduated from college. Landed a decent banking job and made a good career. Outwardly “functional” - but quietly falling apart. In this raw and powerful episode, Andy shares his journey from teenage drinking and self-medicating his undiagnosed bipolar disorder and depression with alcohol, to becoming a high-level fitness coach for male executives. We dive into: • Growing up with an alcoholic father • The hidden dangers of being a "functioning" addict • Mental health stigma in high-performing men • The cost of pretending everything is fine • Replacing self-destruction with discipline and purpose • Why reconciliation with his father came just in time • What real transformation looks like (and why most don’t commit to it) Andy Feltovich founded FeltovichFit - and as a retired banker who traded a briefcase for kettlebells, he now coaches 40+ year old male senior professionals on health and fitness. Andy doesn’t sugarcoat it. His story is bold, honest, and deeply needed - especially for the men who feel like they’ve “got it together” on the outside, but are secretly burning out inside. “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” That’s not just his motto—it’s his life’s second act. 🎧 Listen now and share this with someone who needs a reminder: You don’t have to wait for rock bottom to choose better.
