This week on the pod we are joined by David Spitz. David is a dad to three, a husband, Owner and CEO of California Strength, lifelong coach and (in his own words) “former athlete - turned fat guy - turned fit guy”. We had a great chat with David about his life as a Today’s Dad, his journey to creating Cal Strength and his own personal journey back to a life of fitness. We also talk about their new strength program, Ripped and Ready, that is perfect for dads looking to get back in shape or keep their fitness journey moving forward. David was kind enough to give our listeners 20% their first month of the program using the code “WDDR”. David shared a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on the ability to be multi-purpose in your role and being sure to prioritize yourself and your relationship with your spouse. The biggest takeaway from our chat with David was his motto of “never do nothing” and the importance of love and gratitude. A big thanks to David for joining us on the pod this week! Episode Affiliates:Powerdot - Click here & enter ‘Dad20’ at checkout for 20% off your purchaseSquarespace: Save 10% on your first subscription of a website or domain.  Click here and use code: PARTNER10In This Episode: Ripped and Ready Program - 20% off your first month with Code: WDDRGuest’s Show Notes & Today’s Dad Definition - http://www.wakedaddrinkrepeat.com/podcast/david-spitzDrinks:Gin & Juice - MichaelObon 14 - DavidOld Grand Dad Bonded - PalmerExtra:California Strength WebsiteCalifornia Strength Instagram | Twitter | FacebookCalifornia Strength YouTube ChannelRipped and Ready ProgramErick Glader’s (PowerDot) Episode Christian Vande Velde EpisodeMusic:Performed and written by Jordan BurrisProduced by Jordan Burris & Asher SmithSubscribe:Apple Podcast - https://apple.co/2Tt9FkaSpotify - https://spoti.fi/2MfPPI3Stitcher - http://bit.ly/2McLrJVGoogle Podcast - http://bit.ly/2MemDS4Check us out at: Wake.

Such a passionate conversation with Danny Lehr, the CEO of Caffeine & Kilos. Along with a few stories from the old California Strength days, Danny and I took it away from the lifting of weights. We spoke about how to turn your passion into a living and optimise your abilities. Danny knows better than most about how to make a living off something you love. We dig into the humble beginnings of C&K, and discuss how it came to be, and how it has become the brand that it is today. We also spoke about some tips for success in building a business and in generally being a success. This episode was as much for me as it was for you all!

Jared Enderton has been on a constant pursuit to learn from the best. When he started weightlifting, he traveled the country soaking up what he could from California Strength, Mash Elite Performance, Average Broz, and the Olympic Training Center. Since then, he’s competed as a GRID athlete and most recently competed at the 2017 CrossFit Games Regional. As a coach, Jared travels the country teaching Enderton Strength Seminars, focusing on spreading knowledge about the barbell. We talk about balancing a coaching and athletic career, the mindset for acquiring new skills, adapting to change, self-talk, reflection, and so much more.
