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.

Once an athletic kid, life and habits led him to nearly 500 pounds. He made the decision to change—and started running. Follow Johnny on Instagram: @johnnygoesrunning He’s since lost over 150 pounds—going from walking to running marathons by building his life around discipline, accountability, and long-term health. Now, he’s preparing to run the London Marathon on April 26—and we talk about what it looks like to gear up while tapering down. Join us for a conversation on weight loss, marathon training, food addiction, identity, and what it really takes to stay consistent—and stop negotiating with yourself. Health is lifelong.
