You'll hear how he overcame the rockiest period in his personal and professional life: His battle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. At the end of the day, says Rex, whether in sports or in life, it’s all about the teammates you surround yourself with. Rex also talks about filling the void the end of his playing career created, and gives a listener advice for dealing with people who are resistant to change.

It’s like a soul mate

I’ve been listening to Jonathan Fields GoodLife podcasts since 2016. Topics are insightful, deep and enriching. Relevant to the times. Also find his voice, tone & pace cathartic. Gentle and considered. (Aust follower)

So much waffle

Please get to the point. Not even good for getting to sleep as the voice is so loud and grating.
