#67: Asian American Flees Cambodia, Takes Path to Wrestling & Cycling

If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to this podcast to hear fascinating guests talk about issues surrounding fitness and faith. This episode features my longtime friend Heang Uy, who I attended high school and college with in NC, talking with me about some fun and also serious stuff like hate crimes, appropriate as we close out Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month. (5:37)This high school teacher and wrestling coach - for the last 20 years - opens up about he and his family coming to America when he was less than 2 years old and escaping deadly violence in Cambodia in the 1970's. We also dive into Heang's current 400+ day "cardio streak," him biking 3500 miles coast-to-coast from Oregon to SC, his evolving faith in God, the future of all-girls wrestling, and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.
