Piggy-backing off the last solo episode, we're going to dive more into some training ideas today. This time with concept of training for healthy and strong bodies long into the future, like decades.

In this episode we'll dive into the mindset required to begin looking at changes with decades in mind, not just months. Be sure to check out the new Nomad Nati...

There were a lot of great nuggets in this one, and he provides some great insight into how Clean Eatz operates as...

Whenever I get the chance to dive really deep and nerd out on programming and development, I love it. When I met today's guest, Derek Woodske, at Winterstrong a couple months ago, I knew I would have the same conversations with him. Funny enough though, we spent a great deal of time connecting over Montana, North Idaho and the part of the country we both love so much. This episode started a bit like that as well, but we quickly got into a lot of great areas of the things that have changed in ath...

I recently made a pilgrimage down to the woods of South Carolina to attend WinterStrong, an event put on by the team at Sorinex. I'd heard about how special this weekend was, but wasn't able to grasp the full concept until I was there. The conversations were epic, and I came away with so many things to implement. For this episode though, rather than talk about each individual "thing" we did, I wanted to go over the big things I came away from the weekend with. These are concepts that have alread...
