Published: May 13, 2019, 9:45 a.m.

b'Chat with Kenny Santucci and you\\u2019ll immediately realize a few things: he\\u2019s clearly from Jersey, got an affinity for fitness, and a no BS sort of guy. These days, the former reality star is spending his days coaching and running operations at Solace, a New York City gym offering everything from CrossFit to yoga classes. But just over 15 years ago, as a high school freshman, Santucci tipped the scale at over 225 pounds. In episode 55, we talk about how picking up wrestling helped him shed the weight and develop some essential confidence, which propelled him all the way to traveling the world for MTV. We talk about the post-filming #hurdlemoment that had Santucci living out of his car, the recent family struggles that have shaped him into being a better son, friend, and business partner, and how he\\u2019s managed to turn his passions into his full-time, dream career.\\n\\nSOCIAL\\n@kennysantucci\\n@solacenewyork\\n@hurdlepodcast\\n@emilyabbate\\n\\nOFFERS\\nAthletic Greens | Head to athleticgreens.com/hurdle to get 20 free travel packs ($79 value) with your first purchase, no code necessary.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hurdle/message'
