After a successful 11 episode Season One of Talkin Tough in 2023, the fellas are back! Mike & Ben are picking the podcast microphones back up and sharing how they and their guests are challenging what it means to be tough by talkin through the tough stuff. 2024 was a huge year for both of these guys; they each welcomed daughters in to their families, they spent a ridiculous amount of time on the road facilitating mental health community tours on behalf of Ski For Life and they, as always, navigated the challenges that come with being a double amputee and blind. Enjoy Episode 1 of Season 2 where the fellas talk through all of this and more.
