TBI-093 Pro Cards For Everyone And Sometimes Not, Too!

The Big Inside

Jonathan Lavoie (right) is a pro bodybuilder. But maybe isn't. But still could be, we're not sure. Which is why he's got such a cool perspective for the show.

Show host Christian Matyi, aka “XN,” welcomes Jonathan Lavoie, a one-time competitive bodybuilder whose professional status is in a strangely unique state of limbo. Lavoie who brings a unique perspective to the idea of competitive success and what it can – and can’t – mean for an athlete.
