Choosing Life Means Not Living in Fear - Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho has spent over three decades reinventing himself across professional wrestling, music, and media. From growing up in Winnipeg watching wrestling to fronting a rock band that now sells out venues worldwide, his career has been built on instinct, commitment, and a refusal to live in fear.In this conversation, we move beyond the highlight reel.Chris reflects on what reinvention really requires, why there’s no rulebook for longevity, and how confidence only works when you fully commit to it. We talk about the difference between special moments and routine performances, why you can’t “phone it in” - no matter the crowd size - and what it takes to keep showing up when the schedule is relentless, and the pressure is real.He opens up about choosing life not as a slogan, but as a daily decision: living without fear, being present, and staying curious long after success arrives. From iconic matches and unforgettable gigs to fatherhood, routine, and the quiet work done away from the spotlight, this is a grounded, late-night conversation about discipline, courage, and meaning.Whether you know Chris Jericho from the ring, the stage, or his storytelling, this episode is about the human behind the moments — and the mindset that keeps him moving forward.Go see Fozzy at SWG3 TV Studio, Glasgow, on Saturday, 14th February 2026

The Cost of Saying "Yes": Leaving Comfort for Chaos - Ron Stein
Ron Stein is a walking contradiction. On paper, his resume looks like a victory lap: A Wall Street Strategist, a Corporate Fixer, and a Hollywood Producer for the 4x Oscar-nominated film The Kids Are All Right.But on this episode of Finding Me, we aren't looking at the accolades - we are looking at the cost of getting them.When you shift from finance to film sets to real estate, how do you hold onto who you are? Ron joins Kyle to deconstruct the "messy middle" of reinvention. We talk about the difference between running toward a passion and running away from a past life, and why saying "Yes" to your future requires a painful "No" to your comfort zone.In this episode, we cover:The Identity Pivot: How to change careers without losing your sense of self.Hollywood vs. Reality: What producing The Kids Are All Right taught Ron about ego and smoke & mirrors.The Victim Trap: How to catch yourself when you start feeling like life is happening to you.Mastering Doubt: Why fear might be a requirement, not a warning sign.Ron’s new book, Say YES!
