Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up everything you love or memorizing complicated food rules. In this fun and relaxed episode, we’re busting some of the biggest nutrition myths out there (yes, even the one about carbs being the enemy) and sharing the simple swaps that helped us go from pre-diabetic to feeling our best—without giving up real food or taking medication.

Think of this as a casual kitchen-table chat where we spill the (unsweetened) tea on late-night snacking, smart shopping strategies (hint: stay around the edges of the store), and why adding veggies doesn’t have to be a chore. From our own experience—and a few good laughs—we’ve found that small, realistic changes add up fast.

You’ll get practical tips you can try today, whether you’re figuring out what to eat for breakfast or wondering how to help your grandkids develop better habits (spoiler: they’re watching everything you do).

It’s real talk, real food, and real results—served up with a side of encouragement and maybe a chuckle or two. Tune in and let us know which tips you’re trying this week. We’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for spending time with us today! We hope you enjoyed our conversation, related to something we said, and learned something new along the way.

Welcome to "The Barbershop", where real men have real conversations - uncut, unfiltered and unapologetically honest. It's the spot in our Agile Always podcast where we pull up a chair, talk life, health, and everything in-between, from the deeply personal to the universally important.

Pat Riley once said, "You have to be an active participant in your own rescue." These words perfectly capture the urgent message at the heart of this powerful episode of Officially Fenner/Agile Alway's new "Barbershop" segment, where host Rudy brings authentic men's health conversations out of the barbershop and into the open.

Rudy, joined by his brother Greg (a prostate cancer survivor turned advocate) and son-in-law David (representing a younger perspective), this multigenerational discussion tackles the staggering reality that 80% of men who live to 80 will develop prostate cancer—with even higher rates among African American men. Yet countless men avoid the simple PSA blood test that could save their lives.

The trio explores the complex reasons behind men's reluctance to seek medical care: historical distrust of the healthcare system, the masculine tendency to "tough it out," and fears about procedures and potential sexual dysfunction. With remarkable candor, they share personal experiences that illuminate how early detection dramatically improves both outcomes and treatment options.

Family history emerges as a crucial but often overlooked factor. As Greg powerfully states, "If you have had prostate cancer and you have a son, you're putting his life at risk not telling him." The conversation moves beyond detection to treatment decisions, with insights on everything from "active surveillance" (which Greg compares to "a stick of dynamite with a fuse") to radiation therapies and surgical options.

Whether you're approaching 40 or well beyond, this conversation could literally save your life or the life of someone you love. Listen, learn, and become an active participant in your own health journey. What's your PSA number?

Thank you for spending time with us today! We hope you enjoyed our conversation, related to something we said, and learned something new along the way.

Officially Fenner is starting a new chapter in 2025! First, we stand in solidarity with those impacted by the devastating California fires. We especially feel the weight of it with our granddaughter who's in college in Los Angeles, and send love and support to the people and communities who were impacted. We are also grateful for the first responders and organizations that are working constantly to help people work their way through this disaster.

For those who are new here, we kickoff season four of the podcast by reflecting on 2024 which was a very full year filled with family visits, another home project, an anniversary celebration (#45!), celebrations around the jersey retirement of NFL Hall of Famer and our brother-in-law Darrell Green, and work with a client which is challenging and that I enjoy.

In this episode of Officially Fenner, we reflect on the past year, and celebrate the joy of multigenerational living in Northern Virginia. Through all of life’s ups and downs, strengthening family bonds has remained our foundation.

Looking ahead, we’re embracing the power of AI and community engagement—especially after the success of a 2024 health fair that we participated in, which was a moment of education and learning for so many, including us. Our experiences have deepened our passion for promoting proactive health and wellness.

Most exciting of all, in 2025, we talk about our launch of Agile Always—a movement to inspire and connect people in new ways, both online and in real life. Agile Always will feature not only physical health, but mental wellness, eating well, relationships, and everything that it takes to live vibrant and stay agile! We have some great guests lined up to join us. The best part is the we want YOU to be an active part of this as we set new goals, and dance through 2025 with optimism, energy, and open hearts.

Beyond health, we’ll also have fun exploring personal style and storytelling, because of course. Rudy will share some unforgettable moments over the years—including encounters with legends like Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen!

We hope you enjoy Episode 1 of Season 4 of Officially Fenner. Follow us here and give us a like...tell your friends and family too! Together we'll make 2025 our best year yet!

Ever sparked a heated debate over a favorite TV show? That's exactly how we, Robin and Rudy Fenner, stumbled into the theme of our latest podcast episode. From our own playful squabbles to the intricate dynamics of "Suits," we're unpacking the complexities of family, fame, and fictional legal drama. We're also tipping our hats to football great Darrell Green, and diving into the moral flexibilities of Mike Ross, served with a side of pop culture musings on icons who've etched their mark on our hearts.

Picture a world where Shonda Rhimes and Tyler Perry set the stage for the future of digital storytelling—this is where our conversation leads, exploring the seismic shifts in content distribution that are rewriting the rules for creators and audiences alike. As "Suits" itself adapts from cable to streaming, we scrutinize the implications for how we might soon be cheering on our favorite sports teams. We're pulling back the curtain on the industry's evolution and its ripple effects, from the boardroom to your living room.

Strap in for a ride that's not just about consuming media but living it, as we dissect the servant leadership and complex team dynamics mirrored in our beloved series "Suits." We're not just talking character arcs and plot twists; we're examining how the show's intricacies resonate in our own careers and relationships. With a nod to the visionary creators like Aaron Korsh and the talents like Patrick Adams who bring these stories to life, join us for a conversation that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

Ever wonder how life's decisions impact our family dynamics? In our latest series, 'It's a Wonderful Life,' we unravel this, exploring the ripple effects of our decisions on multiple lives. From our own journey of relocating within the DMV area (Washington, D.C. /Maryalnd / Virginia), to our guests, David and Kelly's experiences of shifting homes - we tread on this journey of discovery together.

David, our son-in-law and part of our multi-generational household, shares his unique insights on acclimating to new neighborhoods and cultural landscapes. He candidly discusses the profound effect these changes can have on one's sense of identity and humor. Kelly, our daughter, sheds light on her experiences of adjusting to new environments. As we talk about our own experiences of adjusting to fresh surroundings, we delve into the ways they shape our parenting styles and decisions on moving with our own families.

We also reflect on the cultural adjustments when moving from a diverse "salad bowl" community to one that was more of a "melting pot" and the effects of that on our family. While we as parents wanted a different neighborhood and easier commute, we also found challenges in advocating for our children in an unfamiliar school system. The kids had to navigate friendships as they tried to form their new community.

Lastly, we emphasize understanding the value of a different place and how it can enrich our lives. We also look at the balancing act of agreement and disagreement within the parent-child relationship, and the importance of providing a nurturing environment where kids can express their thoughts and feelings without fear. So, tune in as we navigate through our lives' transitions and comprehend the impact they can have on family dynamics.

Calling fans of Netflix's 'Bridgerton' and specifically those of 'Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton Story', you won't want to miss this. On this podcast, we explore this fictional story based on the real King George III and his wife, Queen Charlotte, and the similarities between the show and what we've been talking about in terms of modern relationships and how to successfully build lives together.

We found a number of similarities between what we've covered in previous episodes, and what was portrayed in "Queen Charlotte", and thought it worthy of a conversation:

• How did their introduction affect their relationship?
• Was Charlotte a "trench girl" (a term Rudy uses refers to the partner who is always in the trenches with you, even in the toughest times)?
• How did her choices impact their marriage and how can her actions be applied to modern relationships?

We also cover the the ebb and flow of leadership in relationships. Witness Queen Charlotte's unwavering assertiveness with her mother-in-law and her dynamic with King George, highlighting the unpredictable nature of life's seasons. Can one be both a leader and a follower? Can you thrive in your current role?

The scene where George gives Charlotte the choice to go over the wall was powerfully sets the stage for their relationship. Suppose he had forced her to do what he said? Here we uncover the importance of choice and its profound impact on relationship dynamics.

Finally, we take a look at the closing scene - where Queen Charlotte sits beside King George, a visual tapestry of their enduring bond - and uncover the nuances it reveals about their relationship, and the depths of their connection.

Shonda Rhimes' telling of this story as both a Bridgerton prequel and sequel, is genius.
