Podcast appearances and mentions of brogan graham

In Edmonton, Alberta, the sun had yet to come up. The temperature was more than 20 degrees below zero. In the dark and cold, Tanis Smith was ready to run up and down hundreds of stairs among the trees in the Saskatchewan River Valley. 在阿尔伯塔省的埃德蒙顿，太阳还没有升起。气温零下二十多度。在黑暗和寒冷中，坦尼斯·史密斯准备在萨斯喀彻温河谷的树林中跑上跑下数百级楼梯。 And Smith was not alone. Ten people joined her for the activity. All were wearing several layers of clothing to keep warm. 史密斯并不孤单。有十个人参加了她的活动。所有人都穿着几层衣服来保暖。 “You're pretty much just putting everything you own on,” said Smith, an accountant. “If you look at the pictures, you don't know who you are unless you remember what you were wearing.” “你几乎只是把你拥有的一切都投入其中，”会计师史密斯说。“如果你看照片，你不知道自己是谁，除非你记得自己穿什么。” Since that winter back in 2013, Smith has rarely missed a workout with a group called November Project.自 2013 年那个冬天以来，史密斯很少缺席一个名为“十一月项目”的团体的训练。November Project is a network of free outdoor group exercise classes that started in Boston, Massachusetts. No matter the weather, members get out of bed before sunrise at least once a week and go outdoors for group exercise. 十一月项目是一个免费户外团体锻炼课程网络，始于马萨诸塞州波士顿。无论天气如何，会员每周至少一次在日出前起床，到户外进行集体锻炼。 November Project is part exercise, part fun, and part community. It is a model for exercising outdoors, especially in the winter. 十一月项目一半是锻炼，一半是乐趣，一半是社区。它是户外锻炼的典范，尤其是在冬天。 It started in 2011, when two friends agreed to exercise every morning for the month of November. They were looking for accountability and motivation to help them stick to an exercise routine. 它始于 2011 年，当时两个朋友同意在 11 月份每天早上锻炼身体。他们正在寻找责任感和动力来帮助他们坚持锻炼。 By the end of that first month, they had invited others to join them. Soon, their meetings were bringing in almost forty people. And it became a year-round project. 到第一个月结束时，他们已经邀请了其他人加入他们。很快，他们的会议就吸引了近四十人。这成为了一个全年项目。“A party is better when there's more people around. We would talk to anybody who would listen,” said Bojan Mandaric. He created the project with friend, Brogan Graham. “当周围的人越多时，聚会就越好。我们会与任何愿意倾听的人交谈，”博扬·曼达里克说。他与朋友布罗根·格雷厄姆 (Brogan Graham) 一起创建了这个项目。 Then, as people moved to other cities, they took the idea with them. So, the November Project grew. Now, there are 52 groups in eight countries, including 44 in the United States and Canada. 然后，当人们搬到其他城市时，他们也带着这个想法。因此，十一月项目不断发展。目前，共有 52 个团体分布在 8 个国家，其中美国和加拿大有 44 个团体。People of all ages and fitness levels join the workouts. Some groups begin with something called “The Bounce.” They chant and jump at the same time to bring the group together. Those who feel inhibited, do not have to do this. 所有年龄段和健身水平的人都参加锻炼。有些团体从“弹跳”开始。他们一边喊着一边跳跃，让大家团结在一起。那些感到压抑的人不必这样做。 Most classes include running and body weight exercises like squats. The project also uses the surroundings of the location. So, for example, some places include running up steps in an outdoor sports stadium. Currently in D.C., members meet on Wednesdays to run up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. 大多数课程都包括跑步和深蹲等自重练习。该项目还利用了该地点的周围环境。例如，有些地方在户外体育场内设有台阶。目前在华盛顿，成员们每周三聚集在林肯纪念堂的台阶上。

I met Brogan at a Nike event in CA back in 2017. From the second I met him I knew we'd become friends. Here we are in 2023 and he still can't quit me. This action packed car chat with Brogan hits on white privelidge and how important it is to do your "software updates" so you avoid being the *sshole at the Thanksgiving table (and in life.) Speaking of Thanksgiving, we touch on my Turkey Trot rage and why you shouldn't take the free pumpkin pie. Our conversation caps off with parenthood and how it's literally the best/toughest job you'll ever love. Brogan has great insight and perspective for you dads out there, specifically single dads, so take a listen!More about Brogan:Brogan has worn countless hats in his time on this planet: Stage performance (shocker), D1 athlete, marketing, and social media are just a few of them.

Dadding. Surfing with Zuckerberg. Celebrating Ten Thousand's glorious new FAR line with Robbie Balenger. And of course, the Adam-Brogan faceoff we've all been waiting for.Welcome to another hotly anticipated edition of ‘Roll On,' wherein myself and my undefeated podcast co-pilot Adam Skolnick (and our intruding guest Brogan Graham) hone on matters of contemporaneous import, and more than anything, get a bit silly.Aside from serving as my magnanimous sidecar hype-beast, Adam Skolnick is an activist and veteran journalist best known as David Goggins' Can't Hurt Me, co-author. Adam writes about adventure sports, environmental issues, and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men's Health. He is the author of One Breath and is currently using the ‘new dad' excuse to avoid working on his novel.This episode unfurls in a fashion unique.We start off with the half-cocked banter you've come to know and love. Adam and Brogan hash out their drama. We discuss the nuances of being a new dad. And the importance of showing up for your kids and partner.We then close things out with my conversation with ultra-runner and friend of the pod Robbie Balenger, which was recorded at Ten Thousand's live event at the Legendary Explorer's Club in NYC, where we celebrated the launch of my Free Association Run (FAR) kit—a collection of men's running gear.To read more click here.

How do you spark authentic connection? What is the foundation of meaningful friendship? How do you catalyze a movement? And most important, how do you create true community?As society reopens, we are presented with a unique opportunity to evolve, heal, and reconnect with one another in a new way.I can think of no better person to guide us in the lost art of friendship-making than the painfully charming and über-charismatic one they call BG.Meet Brogan Graham. Fitness fanatic. Extreme extrovert. Style icon. Force of Nature. Cool dad. Loyal friend and overall stellar human being.These are just a few of many labels I would pin to BG’s chest.An exceptional host during my April visit to Minneapolis (the whole thing was his idea), Brogan is the co-founder of November Project, a free and frenetic, open-to-anyone, grassroots sweat revival—a flashmob fitness revolution that counts over 250,000 lifetime members and dominates the pre-dawn urban landscape of 52 cities and nine countries spread across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom and even parts of Asia. Leveraging community, a simple sense of accountability, and open public spaces, the November Project motivates people of all ages, shapes, sizes and levels to move their bodies—welcoming everyone from Olympic medalists and professional athletes to complete fitness rookies and recent couch potatoes.Today’s conversation traverses many landscapes with a unique flair that can only be described as unapologetically Brogan-esque.Chronologically the first conversation recorded during my time in Minneapolis, we digest lessons delivered by a city and citizenship under duress—and why it’s necessary to never stop learning.We talk ‘dadding’, training, perfectionism, friendship, and the importance of getting outside your comfort zone—not just in the context of fitness but in all aspects of life.But the overall theme of this discussion is cultivating inclusivity. Why the path forward demands resisting the impulse to call people out. Instead, let’s call people in.As I’m fond of saying, prophets walk among us. Brogan isn’t just one such everyman prophet. He understands that to find these people, you need to always be on the hunt. You need to take swings at bat. You need to always be expanding your circle. And you need to develop the habit of reaching out to others, embracing your neighbors, and contributing to your community.This reflex begins with one simple word: hello.To read more click here. You can also watch our exchange on YouTube. And as always, the podcast streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.I urge all of you to absorb this conversation in its entirety. Whip out your pen and paper—this is essential, potentially life-altering listening for every human. And simply put, it’s everything I hoped it would be.Brogan is a beautiful dude. I wish he lived in Los Angeles. But I’ll take him however I can get him.May his words inspire you to reach out to someone new today.P.S. – This is Brogan’s second spin on the RRP flywheel.

Brogan Graham is a co-founder of the grassroots free fitness movement called November Project.

Nicholas Rodriks joins me today to have a nice rip on our friend Brogan Graham. And after we move on from that, we learn more about Nick as a former lacrosse player, NP Baltimore co-leader, and current owner of Fishercat River Company- a guiding and fly fishing company which uses that platform for improved education on conservation and environmental justice. It also might be important to note that he has his Masters in Public Health and knows a lot about the injustices in the city of Baltimore...as well as trash. He knows a lot about trash. We talk about it all so turn the volume up (apparently Nick likes to whisper-talk on the phone) and enjoy!

This week is a short catch up with my friend Brogan Graham. After I officially stepped away from the November Project HQ team last week, BG wanted to check in and requested to interview me. As always, we went off the rails a little bit, but it’s a fun little trip down memory lane as we discuss NP cities and leaders from years past and a host of topics in between. Back to our regularly scheduled interviews next week!

James Broad is a dog Dad, a soon-to-be human Dad, a snow enthusiast, an entrepreneur, a loving husband, son, and brother, a yogi, and so much more. He's also a Black man and on this episode of NP The Show with Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric, James speaks candidly about the death of George Floyd and how growing up as a Black man in America has shaped him and will shape how he raises his unborn son. We are forever fans of this man and so grateful of his time. Thank you for listening.

We have been very quiet over here the last month at Wisconsin Notes as we shut up and listened to those who for so long have not been heard. I personally didn’t think my voice needed to be on the airwaves so I let the professionals take the mic and I did a ton of reading, listening and discussing. Of course, that work continues and will continue forever, and I wanted to share with everyone the conversations we have been having over on the November Project youtube channel. The sound quality is a little crunchy because they are made for youtube videos via Zoom, but I know that most people listen to things on the go, especially on the run, and wanted to make them available for more to hear. There are 4 total and I will be releasing them throughout this week and next. On this first episode, it’s a conversation the November Project HQ of myself, Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric had with our anti-racist educations, Soumya Palreddy and D.A. Dirks. It was recorded following the murder of Ahmaud Arbery and we have an open discussion about the mistakes we have made in the past with November Project and some of the ways we hope to improve in the future.

Today I welcome back Brogan Graham for a little quarantine catch-up, alongside his brother, Dan Graham. Dan is checking in from his computer in the basement of his home, so not only is the sound quality not ideal, but the two of them keep forgetting we are recording a podcast and not a video. So I apologize for all the times I have to yell at them. Anyways, if you make it through the initial banter and warm up jokes, you will make it to a great story about the two of them being idiots, swimming at night in shark infested waters with a backpack full of beer to a Dutch concert on the beach, when they lived on the small island of Curaçao.

This week, Peter talks with Brogan Graham, co-founder of November Project, a free exercise group founded in Boston that’s open to the public. What started out as two friends getting together for morning workouts eventually snowballed into hosting classes in 52 cities nation-wide while creating a fun and passionate group of people who are all about community.  Stick around for the reaper round where Brogan kills his bag and gets up close and personal about the heat he’s feeling!   Time Stamps: (0:00) Welcome back to the Live Your Mission show!

Excited to have on Brogan Graham today (14:55) one of the co-founders of the fitness movement that is the November Project. We talk about a lot including our budding bromance, how the fitness movement went global, Boston Marathon bombings, adjusting life and community in wake of this global pandemic. What a fun chat! I also brought on my good friend Elan Lieber (3:52) to talk about the GoFundMe he established for his former employees at Yali's (100% proceeds will go to them).  + The Billy Yang Running Community: https://bit.ly/2VOhd2j + "Showing Up": https://bit.ly/2VKQRyl + Window Seat - Atlanta: https://bit.ly/2KlddB6 + Yali's GoFundMe: https://bit.ly/2RRCg2X  ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast 

Last week, I interviewed November Project co-founder Brogan Graham about the evolution of this fascinating free fitness movement. In the second half of my two part feature on November Project, I sit down with the happy leaders of its Ottawa chapter. On fine form, Liz Mackenzie and Lauren Carter shed light on the mental side of community building and co-leadership. We talk bananas, bounces, and burpees and get the inside scoop on what makes this worldwide fitness movement so successful in Canada's capital.

I couldn't let November pass without featuring one of the most successful free fitness movements of our time. It all began as a dare between 2 rowing pals. From Iceland to Indonesia to Indianapolis, November Project catches sunrises in 52 cities across the globe. In Part 1 of this special HEA feature, I chat with its philosophical co-founder, Brogan Graham, about NP's origins, evolution, and even the moment it outgrew his control and his wildest expectations.  ___________ Brogan's TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAuBzKNoMEE ___________ Just Show Up Documentary (must watch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwofbcpEUgw ___________ NP Cities: https://november-project.com/locations/ ___________ Brogan on IG: http://instagram.com/brograngraham ___________ NP on IG: http://instagram.com/novemberproject ___________ Kelly on IG: http://instagram.com/kelly.doell ___________ Nab Feel Like It: Makeover Your Motivation to Move - https://www.amazon.ca/Feel-Like-Makeover-Motivation-Happily-ebook/dp/B07NFF9G8N ___________ Feel Like It on Audible: https://www.audible.ca/pd/Feel-Like-It-Makeover-Your-Motivation-to-Move-and-Live-Happliy-Ever-Active-Audiobook

Soooooo, I had a baby. A real life human. His name is Jack and he's the man. While having a newborn at home is incredible, joyous, and amazing, the labor and delivery was something completely different. On this episode of Wisconsin Notes, Brogan Graham hosts and we get real. Very real. I hope you enjoy the banter, ridiculous conversation, and learn a thing or two about the terrors of childbirth!

BOJAN MANDARIC - Make sure to follow to the podcast on Instagram! - Happy Labor Day, world! We’re COMING IN HOT to September + fall with a powerful month of guests and connection. This week we’ve got Mr. Bojan Mandaric — approximately half of the duo that started November Project, the free fitness movement that’s taking over the world. Bojan grew up in Novi Sad, Serbia, and is a former rower on the Yugoslavian National Team and at Northeastern University. He now works full-time as a strategist at November Project. Talk about a FORCE. This dude is legit.

November Project is also now a non-profit and responsible for hugs, happiness, community, neon clothing and debauchery in cities all around the world.

Brogan Graham is my not-so-silent creative partner on Wisconsin Notes and so it only felt right to start this chunk of episodes off with a catch up on life with a new baby. Personally, I thought this conversation was going to be all jokes, but turns out this guy has turned soft in his fathering age.

Subscribe on iTunes / Subscribe on Stitcher / Subscribe on Google Play Meet Brogan Graham, co-founder of the November Project, a free fitness movement that was born in Boston as a way to stay in shape during cold New England months.  It has since spread to 49 chapters, and thousands of people all over the world. Brogan is also a new father. (Like me.)  So, instead of focusing on the standard questions that Brogan usually gets on podcasts, I thought I'd ask him about the new adventures of being a dad, how that has changed his perspective, and what's next for him and the November Project. There are a few things that make this podcast unique… 1.  I met Brogan at 5AM at the base of Cowles Mountain outside of San Diego.  Cowles, as you can see below, climbs 1,591 feet, in about 1.5-2 miles.  To put some perspective on that, my favorite trail-run in upstate NY climbs about 1,000 feet in 4 miles.  So, this was steep! And we went up and down 4 times. (Not just Cowles, there were one or two other peaks in there.)  So, if you like heavy breathing, you're gonna love this   2.  The trail was single-track and rugged too.  So, instead of running side-by-side, we went single-file.  Because of that, I gave the podcast recorder to Brogan.  You can hear him really well, but it may be difficult to hear me.  Which is okay, because Brogan is the interesting one here. 3.  Our last time up the mountain, I could tell that Brogan wanted to go faster than I could keep up.  So, I just let him go with the podcast recorder, not knowing what he might say or do.  Well this is where the magic happens.  (It's at about 1:14 into the podcast.) It takes Brogan about 25 minutes to reach the top.  (I'm much slower, following up about 7 minutes later.)  And in that 25 minutes you will hear what makes Brogan (and the November Project) so special.  He is putting out.  And as he flies up the mountain, you'll feel it.  You'll hear his steps and his breathing.  You'll hear a few places where the trail gets really steep.  You'll hear the energy exchange between him and other people who, by this time, have come out for a morning hike.  You'll even hear some Geronimo war cries. This is what I had in mind when I started this podcast.  You can get to know someone so much better on a run, than you can over a cup of coffee (or sitting across from each other in a podcast studio).  So many of my best friends are people who I've gotten to know on a run, even when we weren't talking with each other, just running with our steps and breath in sync… Or even when we're not in sync, when one of us leaves the other in the dust, and then waits for the other with a big high five at the finish line.  Which is what happens here.  We shared an experience, the effort, the moment, the morning.  We got each other out of bed early, and pushed each other when almost everyone else was still asleep. I realize that a bunch of heavy breathing might not be for everyone.  In which case, feel free to fast forward that 30 minutes of the episode.  But if you want to share this moment with Brogan, if you want something to push you a little harder on your long run, if you want to be inspired to walk just a bit further, then these 30 minutes are for you. Huge thanks to Brogan for sharing this morning with me, and all of us. And huge thanks to all of the November Project members who are also part of the Charity Miles family.  Thanks to all of you for continuing to inspire us every day. #JustShowUp #EveryMileMatters   The post Brogan Graham, Co-Founder of the November Project on Fatherhood, Showing Up, Starting a Movement and What's Next (Full Interview) appeared first on Charity Miles.

“When you show up with this army, this incredible mob of people around you who are willing to believe in you and tell you that you can do it… Who the hell are you to disagree?” Emily Saul is the co-leader of November Project’s Boston tribe, where she leads free weekly workouts for up to 1,000 eager Bostonians who are looking to get fit, enjoy their city, and form powerful human connections. Emily is a powerful force for positive change, and she’s all about bringing a sense of warmth and community to cities that may otherwise feel cold and distant. (November Project is currently in 45 cities worldwide.) Proof she’s crazy strong: Emily has set an annual goal for herself to do 40,000 push-ups a year. (And she’s done it the last two years in a row!) Emily is also a former collegiate rower, and works for the Life is Good Kids Foundation. Join me for Emily’s push-up challenge! Starting February 8, I’m committing to 50 push-ups a day for the next 30 days. Join the fun and share your daily push-up progress using the hashtag #alispushupparty.

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.   The second rule of Fight Club? You know how it goes.   Lucky for us, the opposite is true for the founders of November Project, a fitness movement popularly known as the “Fight Club” of running clubs for its intense workouts, free membership, and tribe mentality.     Following their days rowing crew for Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, Bojan Mandaric and Brogan Graham found themselves struggling to stay in shape in the cold New England months and the absence of a structured exercise regiment.   Then one night in 2011 over a couple of beers, they decided to make a pact: every morning for that month of November, they would meet at 6:30am and workout together.   Running hill repeats, bounding up the stairs of Harvard Stadium, dropping to the ground for the occasional pushups - the city was their gym, and the results were significant.   After a few months, Bojan and Brogan decided to throw out a few invites on Twitter, and the rest is history.   November Project now has tribes in 45 cities all over the world with its biggest meetups bringing together upwards of 1500 people for a single morning workout.   Here Bojan and Brogan share a little about their story, how November Project works, and what you can gain from joining a tribe near you.   ****This episode includes some inappropriate language - just a heads up.****

And so it begins. Wisconsin Notes is a podcast birthed out of a love for storytelling and the uncommon interview. No two episodes will be the same as we change hosts, guests, episode lengths and topics. Today's intro is a small glimpse into the main characters involved: Daniel Graham, Laura Green, Bojan Mandaric, and Brogan Graham.

Bryan and Peter celebrate their 90th episode by going on vacation and leaving us with their amazing 40th episode. We travel back to August 2016 and go under Harvard stadium with November Project. Check out the crazy post-workout interviews with Caleb Daniloff, Emily Saul, Chris Capozzi, and November Project co-founders Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric.

Brogan’s Wild Idea: To disrupt people’s idea of fitness by creating awesome, fun free workouts and build community around the globe. Brogan Graham is a former collegiate rower and coach with a giant heart, a great sense of adventure, and a huge personality. He and a buddy needed a way to work out in the winter months in Boston, so they started the November Project. What started with a few people running stairs at the Harvard Stadium and doing workouts around Boston has now grown to a movement with thousands of followers at over 37 cities around the globe. The November Project has been described as like Fight Club, but with hugging and some pushups instead of punches.  Today, thousands of people of all abilities show up in cities all over for free group workouts with the most positive people. Brogan is also a captivating speaker, which is why huge corporations like Facebook have called him to speak to thousands of employees. Even though he says he got thrown out of every school he went to, he has some great tips on how to live out any wild idea. This was also a fun podcast because we recorded it the way I intended when I created WIWL. We went surfing, came back had some guacamole, chips, a cerveza and let loose. It’s an entertaining show with a lot of energy.  Listen to this episode if:  You love free workouts. You want to be a part of an awesome community. You dig social media. You like interacting with strangers. You have done or want to try a November Project Workout. You want to hear an entertaining podcast.  For full show notes, including guest links and books mentioned during the episode, visit: http://wildideasworthliving.com/24

“Pay attention to your voice. Be yourself. Be colorful. Be weird.”Brogan GrahamThere are leaders and then there are followers. The best leaders engender devotion to a big, new idea. But only a few successfully grow their conceit into a thriving a enterprise that withstands the test of time. Fewer still scale to mainstream cultural impact.Then there are the charmed select who simply see the world differently. Not how it is, but how it could be. How it should be. The rare figure who infuses his or her vision with a contagion of enthusiasm and connectivity so infectious and powerful, it ignites a revolution – catalyzing a movement that penetrates the mainstream, hypnotizes the masses and forever alters the perspective and behavior of all who fall under its spell.This is the story of Brogan Graham — an irreverent, way-outside-the-box fitness fanatic who, along with partner-in-crime Bojan Mandaric decided to flip the fitness industry on its head and make the world a better place with a creation dubbed November Project. No gyms or machines. No fees or dues. Just two dudes, wide open public space and a fervent, gung-ho tribe of thousands taking over not just urban landscapes but the world, one city at a time.If you’re into fitness and live in a metropolis, chances are you've already caught wind of NP. Maybe you've even attended one of their infamous morning workouts.But for those unfamiliar, November Project started as a simple month-long workout pact between Brogan and Bojan, two former rowers who wanted to stay fit through the cold New England months. One by one, a burgeoning community of fitness freaks joined the party. And before long, the few morphed into a fanatical multitude, bonding around NP's free, open-to-anyone, frentic sweat revivals – the more ice, sleet, snow, and rain the better.Dubbed “the ‘Fight Club' of running clubs”, November Project has matured into a flashmob fitness revolution that now dominates the pre-dawn urban landscape of cities all across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom and even parts of Asia. Thoroughly grassroots and populist to the core, it's a category-defying movement that is redefining how we think about and practice fitness by leveraging community, a simple sense of accountability and open public spaces to motivate and encourage people of all ages, shapes, sizes and levels — welcoming everyone from Olympic medalists and professional athletes all the way to complete fitness rookies and recent couch potatoes.The idea: use movement to turn strangers into friends and connect everyone to the city in which they live.The goal: world domination.This week I sit down Brogan — one-half of the beautiful high-energy, charismatic superhero duo that birthed it all — to find out how he did it, and why.I was super stoked to meet up with Brogan. From the minute he pulled into my driveway and gave me a bear hug (he's a big dude), I knew it was a bromance in the making. I have a strong feeling this is but the first of many future collaborations.This is an amazing conversation about the power of community and storytelling to drive positive cultural change. It's about the audacity to dream big, think different, and act outside the box. It's about the freedom and power of being you. And it's a conversation about unlocking untapped reservoirs of human potential to step into your best, most fully actualized self.I sincerely hope you enjoy the exchange.Peace + Plants,Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | Soundcloud | See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
