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.
