Lee Brenon on Commitment, Long Term Relationships, Dog Ownership and Walking

Author: Chris Liddle August 26, 2022 Duration: 58:20

Lee and I have been bonding on Instagram over his many Canadian-isms as I call them. It was his appreciate for Zellers that sparked things into action for us to schedule this podcast.

Lee is a coach based out of Buffalo, New York. He's a husband, dog owner and walking enthusiast.

We talk about how he lost 100 lbs, was vegan for a period of time and his love of video games and how he's found a new way to show up in his life.

We dive down the rabbit hole of seeing a person as a whole rather than just off an assumption and we expand on how certain qualities matter when making relationships last.

The conversational flow of this episode makes it a great listen for fitness industry or fitness enthusiast. Thanks for checking it out.

Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle is a space for thoughtful dialogue that lives between categories. Host Chris Liddle believes meaningful progress comes from connecting ideas across the usual boundaries of education, culture, and self-improvement. Each episode, whether a solo reflection or a conversation with a guest, is built on a simple, powerful question: where can we find shared understanding? This isn't about quick fixes or passive listening. It's a purpose-driven exploration of the habits, philosophies, and societal shifts that shape our daily lives. The aim is to uncover practical insights and nuanced perspectives that resonate, helping you move forward incrementally but intentionally. You'll hear discussions that feel like a good, meandering talk with a curious friend-one that leaves you with something to chew on, not just consume. The podcast deliberately avoids easy labels, weaving together threads from personal development, cultural commentary, and societal observation to examine what a considered life can look like. It’s an ongoing series for anyone tired of echo chambers and interested in the subtle art of building a better year, and a better self, through conversation. Tune in for a consistently engaging mix of voices and topics that all circle back to that essential chase for common ground.
