The health and fitness industry is filled with people telling you what you need to do, what you should do, and what you mustn’t do. In a culture that has strayed from health so much in (sprinted away from it, is a more apt description,) we are always looking for answers. What if, though, you already had a pretty strong feeling about what was needed? what was healthy? I believe we all have this knowledge, this intuition, and my guest today feels the same way. In a Nomad Strength Show first, I’ll ...

One of my favorite things about getting to talk to so many successful men on this show is the uniqueness in their individual approaches to their field. Whats even cooler then that is when I get to notice the characteristics and traits that are similar across many of their stories. Arguably the most common among these is this innate drive and focus that my guest today, Matt Ward, used in a phrase that just punched me when he said it. All or nothing. Matt is a Chiropractic Doctor, backcountry hunt...

If the last 3 years have taught us anything, its that we are entirely too dependent on others for our not only survival, but just daily needs. This realization was a wake up call for many. To procure and be responsible for yourself and your family entirely should be the norm, but we’ve become reliant on convenience and comfort in the last 100 years. For most people, the simplest place to begin to become more sovereign is your food supply. My guest today, Kris Chain, has an extremely elegant solu...

Finding authenticity in the social media landscape is like finding a lush oasis in the middle of a barren desert. While we do have the ability to curate our feeds, the algorithms and bots don’t make it easy to stay away from the garbage that distracts or upsets us. So when you do find an account that is a positive person sharing their passions and actually adding value to your day, make sure you follow.

There has been a pretty prevalent corner of the internet in recent years focused on giving tools to men to improve their lives. I mean, its what this show, and my coaching business is based in sharing. But a lot of the content out there is full of fluff, vain, nonsense and put out by men who don’t live what they preach. So i guess its not really different than most industries, eh? However, there are real men out there doing their best to put out content that can make a positive impact. My guest ...

One of the great frustrations of my professional life is the constant and unrelenting need for black and white answers to health questions. This is an entire conversation full of nuance, and yet we try to reduce it down to this protocol or this system is THE answer. And we do this before even looking under the hood to see what things are going on with an individual person. So how do we get to the bottom of our individual needs?
