This week on I'm Trying, Dude, Marcel and Daniel dive into the moments that tested their moral compass — from small things they got away with as kids to the deeper question: are we actually good people? They swap stories about books that shifted their perspective, movement and recovery journeys, and share a hilarious moment involving running, falling, and friendship.
Tune in for laughs, reflections, and the kind of honest conversations that leave you thinking long after the episode ends.
