That said, Roman is brutally honest about his transformation from a chubby kid to a model and unapologetically shares his physical, mental and emotional journey with all of us. It takes a great deal of courage, and gumption, to do that, so there's a lot to learn from the show if you pay attention. * If you are listening to the podcast, we've bleeped out the potty mouth words.
