In Episode 179, the Two Fit Crazies have an awesome conversation with an immensely energetic and passionate man by the name of Dean D. MacInnis. Joining the show from Oregon, Dean discusses how experiencing an “epiphany at the age of 35 that kicked him in the face” led to the creation of his own consulting business and a podcast. After a highly successful 12-year career as a corporate consultant and wellness executive, Dean shares his frustrations about the way corporations view wellness, as it is often overlooked and under-valued. Constantly feeling the effects of budgetary restraints that left him “like an iceberg...only able to deal with the symptoms of poor health and wellness at the surface level, not the causes,” Dean quit his job to begin a new life as an entrepreneur. Currently entrenched in his own wellness consulting business and podcast, Dean is determined to not only provide a service, but also offer an education for those looking to live a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life. From working with college students, to providing new rehabilitation techniques for stroke and Parkinson’s patients, Dean is giving people more than treatments, but “a feeling.” You are going to love this episode!

Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner - Episode 176

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner

“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”

“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!

Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.

Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.

As a self-proclaimed “lazy” teenager who enjoyed making less than desirable choices, Danielle speaks of her first experiences in cosmetology school where she fell in love with making people feel better about themselves. Soon after, Danielle tells of being drawn into the world of fitness and later going on to earn her personal training and CrossFit™ certification and opening her very own Crossfit ™ Affiliated gym with her father. After a successful run as business owner/entrepreneur, Danielle transitioned into the online nutrition and fitness coaching business where her focus is on “flexible nutrition!” In this world of “fad diets,” Danielle now prides herself on educating others on macro-nutrients, caloric needs, and fitness! We talk everything from Crossfit ™, to nutrition, to eye lashes!
