One of my best friends from college joins me on the pod—Carlin Vandendriessche. He’s the youngest of six brothers, has an international family, and somehow made running a CrossFit gym look effortless. We reflect on how our lives took unexpected turns after college—what we’re calling detoured destinies—and how he built a thriving fitness community at Root 18 CrossFit.
This one’s a mix of old stories, big laughs, and a lot of love for growth, grit, and finding your own way.
• 🧬 Growing up as the youngest of 6 boys
• 🍻 College days, role reversals, and post-grad surprises
• 🏋️ Building a health and fitness community at Root 18 CrossFit
• 🇪🇺 The international roots that shaped his perspective
