Our guest this week is an OG HB ripper who’s not only carved waves but completely transformed his life. About nine years ago, he made the powerful decision to go sober. A choice that turned everything around for the better. Since then, he’s dedicated himself to becoming the best version of himself, as a husband, father, friend, mentor, and coach. Fast forward to today, with nearly 10,000 hours spent pumping iron in the gym, he’s become a standout Personal Coach and Social Media Influencer, rising to the top in the competitive world of fitness and nutrition. His content is packed with practical, real-life advice on diet, workout routines, cooking, and living life to the fullest. But his journey doesn’t stop there. Alongside his wife Haelie, he co-founded “Thank You Collective,” a brand rooted in their shared passion for art, fashion, and design, all with a focus on spreading positivity and gratitude.

We’re stoked to welcome to the show one of the most ripped dudes we know in Surfing , the inspirational, unstoppable, James “BIG DOG” Queen.
