    Whether they like it or not, there are changes that are happening.

Change is inevitable, and those most willing to adapt to that change are the one's who will survive. Just when you think these two can be any more entertaining and knowledgable, boom here we go.

    Meditation- How, when, why?

    Meditation- How, when, why?

    Skrups and Macropolis change directions, move away from COVID talks and dive into the content they desperately want to discuss. This week Skrups helps us understand meditation better, as well as takes us in a short meditation to help us shutdown for a few minutes. The two talk about the beginnings of meditation, misconceptions and why it is more important than ever. AGAIN, a must listen.

    Still in Covid??

    Still in Covid??

    While there has been many industries opening up with restrictions and guidelines, and SOME resemblance of "normal", many feel that we are out of the dark. Skrups and Macropolis reveal their thoughts on whether or not we are really out the woods or if we are still far from the shore. Never a dull moment in "Skropolisland" these two discuss the current dynamic we all face and talk about ways to be accountable.

    Thank you! Much Love!

    Struggles & Frustrations in the Fitness Industry

    Struggles & Frustrations in the Fitness Industry

    The name says it all as in this episode, Skrups & Macropolis vent their frustration with the lack of transparency and the last minute decision not to stay true to the plan that the governor outlined in his NY Forward reopening plan, pulling the rug out from under two industries with no guidelines, direction or even an idea of when they can resume their businesses that has already taken a massive hit. In this episode you can hear the passion that your co-hosts have for the industry and their need for social interaction with clients that meets more than just a physical and aesthetic needs. Give this one a listen, like, review and share. Please, and thank you!!

    The Male Perspective...on expecting.

    The Male Perspective...on expecting.

    This is by no means your typical podcast episode, yet again. Skrups takes the lead today starting with bringing the heat with the Backstreet Boys, and then following it up by interviewing Macropolis on how he's feeling about his wife's pregnancy and the reality of being a dad. There is so much out there about women and what it's like to be expecting a child, Skrups wanted to get the male perspective on expecting, what to expect, what fears there are, and they joys of becoming a dad. Looking to break away from the constant politically driven, social and civil unrest filled newsfeeds? Give this episode a listen, like, share and review.

    Trust & Perspective

    After touching on serious world issues last week, Amanda & Matt finally ventured out into real world (actual socialization) for the first time since the pandemic hit. They share their perspective on their experience. They also dig into the issue of trust, especially for Amanda, as she ventures into the dating world and how trust is now an issue due to her recent relationship. Inside this episode, the two explore how one can regain trust, as well as looking for the root cause of trust issues. Do we even need to say that you'll want to tune into this episode??
