And every Monday at 7PM ET, the show will offer a place to reset, recalibrate, and recommit. Ethan brings to this project what so few people in the “wellness” world do: lived experience, humility, humor, and a refusal to peddle shortcuts. LifeLONG will nurture honest conversations like no other about what it takes to build and maintain a healthier life. Each episode will blend real talk, audience participation, and practical tools: food, fitness, mindset, recovery, and community. Viewers can ask questions, share their own challenges, and shape the discussion in real time. The goal is not perfection, but progress. Not performance, but connection. LifeLONG also reflects the larger mission of 2WAY: to create thoughtful, substantive live programming that brings people together around ideas, challenges, and the hard work of self-improvement — all in real time, without a script. If you’re beginning a health journey, returning to one, or simply looking for a weekly moment of accountability, I hope you’ll join us for this first step. Hosted on Acast.

Will has lived through the extremes—at one point weighing over 450 pounds, then losing more than 200. But as he explains, the real story isn’t the transformation—it’s what comes after. They get into the parts of this journey that rarely get talked about: the urge to hide food—and why it isn’t really about hunger the feeling of wanting control more than anything else how identity gets tied up in being “the big guy” and why changing your body doesn’t automatically change your mind This isn’t a before-and-after story. It’s a conversation about what it’s like to still be in it. If you’ve ever struggled with food, weight, or the push and pull between who you are and who you want to be—this one will hit.
