About This Podcast

This is Work in Progress — a show about building a body, mind, and life that stand the test of time. Hosted by Michael Catherwood, a lifelong athlete and black belt who’s spent decades in pursuit of strength, discipline, and peace. Here, we go beyond reps and routines to talk about what really keeps us in the game — the habits, the mindset, and the meaning behind the work.
