Anders Holm swam for two years at the University of Wisconsin before being terminated after getting into a bar fight. Admittedly, he lost everything. But he stayed at UW Madison and poured his time, energy, and focus into his writing.   After graduating, he moved to LA where he met Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, and Kyle Newacheck. They created comedy sketches for years until they finally got their big break from Comedy Central, and created Workaholics.  In this episode, Anders talks about his love and passion for swimming and how the sport set him up to become a Hollywood success story.   Ders is still in the pool and just completed his first tri, the Malibu Triathlon.   Enjoy!Our Sponsors:BRATTER PA IMMIGRATION LAW: Exclusive immigration representation of athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, investors, and entertainers.SWIM ANGELFISH: Receive the tools and skills needed to teach swimmers with autism, physical disabilities, anxiety, sensory and motor conditions with Swim Angelfish, the global leader in adaptive swim.
