♥️ Welcome TRISH TODISCO! How many times has Rocky been the best companion you’ve ever had? For most of us here in “the bubble” that’s an impossible number to count. This special guest has found Rocky on her shoulder since she was a young child. Rocky’s “friendship” has brought her a long way & her interview radiates love, respect and gratitude. Trish is a shining example of why we started this podcast: To showcase fans who’ve applied the Rocky philosophy to their lives & Trish brings it all!

🥊 MEET FRANK R! When you’re the brother of Jess The Runner (EP 49), it’s hard to be anything BUT amazing! It’s clearly in the DNA! Tonight, hear from this very Rocky minded soul - both in word and in action! Doing what’s right and taking care of business when necessary, is how Frank lives his life everyday. (Who does this remind you of?) Protecting the innocent is hardwired into his heart which makes him another example of someone who “walks-the-Rocky-walk”! Body, Mind & Spirit, Frank truly covers all the bases! Thank you Frank for being such a wonderful guest. You're the real deal when it comes to living the Rocky Philosophy! __________________________________________________

🥊 When opportunity meets determination, you get JOE CIOLLO! ("cho-low") His story is confirmation that if you dare to “bet on yourself” you will not be disappointed. Joe's words will encourage you to remember YOU ARE CAPABLE if you simply dare to TRY! His advice echos Rocky in every way: Sometimes you have to make decisions for yourself even when it doesn’t make sense to anyone else. Joe understood this from a very young age and it’s served him well in many aspects of his life. Thank you Joe for being such a wonderful and sincere guest - Your heart shines through!
