In the prologue, we introduce Kenny, Andy, and Josh who each tell their side of the show's origin story. They individually explain their motivation for launching the project and provide context for what's to come in volume 1. The first volume focuses on how human beings can change their minds and bodies to improve overall quality of life.

Each story is born in a conversation about quality of life and incubates until it can grow into actionable insight. The show is hosted by former comedian and lifelong human performance coach, Kenny Kane and Professor of Exercise Physiology at CSUF, Andy Galpin. The show is produced in volumes and the chapters of each volume are released weekly.
