Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself.

You probably wouldn’t ask a computer programmer for medical advice. However, sometimes you would ask a former WCW and WWF wresting champion about yoga. That’s right. We chatted with Diamond Dallas Page about yoga … and a bit of wresting too.

Find out how DDP left the wresting world and ventured into the world of yoga and fitness.

Discover how someone can invest over a half a million dollars into something they believe in … and thrive.

Listen along and laugh at how DDP scoffed when I asked him if he ever feared he wouldn’t be taken seriously coming from the world of wrestling.

A veteran named Arthur Boorman has inspired countless others, whether they’re using DDP Yoga or not. Check out the video:
