“We all face the question of how to live a better life—no matter where we are on our path. Join me as, story by story, my guests and I explore this question and celebrate the resiliency of the human spirit.”
Patrick Huey, Creator and Host of ‘At The Podium’ and ‘The Fast,’ and Ex-Chairman of the Board of ISPA, has been at the forefront of wellness, spa and hospitality for two decades. He is now bringing his experiences from his travels and his work to you. Creating a space for people to share their stories to help transform, uplift and inspire the world.
At the Podium
In Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 of the ‘At the Podium’ podcast, Patrick has conversations with people who come from different walks of life, careers, and experiences but all share one thing in common – they have stepped fully into the transformative power of saying “Yes” to the unexpected turns of their lives.
The Fast
In this We Care Spa Limited Wellness Series, we invite nine of our favorite thought-leaders and innovators to share their own joy of healthy living. Host Patrick Huey explores new beginnings, ancient fundamentals, the realities of starting a business, the power of forgiveness, microbiomes, why babies like to dance, and much more. In every episode we see the moments of clarity when a person throws what no longer serves a purpose into the fire, and how that choice moves them forward.

“All boys aren’t blue because we’re not a monolith. None of us have the same spirit. We all have different struggles we will go through. We all have a different journey. We all have a different path. And trying to force us to all be the same, trying to force us to be blue impedes the path and impedes the purpose of a person’s life.”
