Before kids, travel was a vibe. After kids? It's CrossFit, hostage negotiation, and a team sport you didn't train for. If you're traveling with kids this holiday season — flying, driving, or doing both — this episode is your survival guide. We're talking about why travel melts kids down hard, what's actually happening in their brains at 29,000 feet, and the simple shifts that make the entire day go better (without needing a color-coded itinerary or superhuman patience).You'll walk away with: • Why meltdowns hit harder when routines disappear • How to prep kids so they're more regulated before the chaos even starts • What to do in the moment when everything goes sideways • How to reset your expectations so the day feels like a win — not a failure • And the permission to use screens, snacks, and survival tools without guiltThis episode isn't about making travel smooth. It's about getting there with your relationship intact. If you've ever whispered “never again” in an airport bathroom…If you've spent $52 on a stuffed animal you didn't plan to buy…If you've boarded a plane already exhausted…You are not alone. And you are doing an incredible job. Pop this on before you leave for the airport — or while you're hiding in the bathroom pretending to pee.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Presenting Sponsor Thirdzy! https://thirdzy.com/JAZZYPromotion Code for 15% off: JAZZYEvery day we take a break from the busy work day to hang out on our lunch with friends to talk about the world of sports, entertainment and specifically CrossFit. Today we do a spicy wing sauce challenge while we answer questions from you and Cory and I will give our picks of who will win the 2026 CrossFit Games.
The three factors that get deprioritized most often - mindset, sleep, and connection - are the ones that quietly determine everything else.In Part 2 of our Year in Review, we tackle why winning your morning actually starts the night before, how to build emotional resilience by returning to center faster, and why deepening friendships as an adult requires the same intentionality you'd give to training.We explore what it means to make health your organizing principle in a culture where the default path leads to dysfunction, and why 70-80% of people now live with at least one chronic disease.You'll learn the daily practices that keep us grounded - from check-in questions to Sunday brain dumps - and why connection through service strengthens relationships more than grand gestures ever could. Being healthy today isn't about optimization - it's about swimming against the current just enough to not drift downstream.
Presenting Sponsor Thirdzy! https://thirdzy.com/JAZZYPromotion Code for 15% off: JAZZYEvery day we take a break from the busy work day to catch our breath by hanging out with friends and talking about the world of Sports, Entertainment and Specifically CrossFit. Today we dive into what we have been learning about the World Fitness Project over the last 24 hours. What a wild NFL Season going into the playoffs and what it takes to podcast.
-In this episode multiple topics are covered in a “quick fire” format.-Does working out in public bother you? -Favorite finisher or accessory?-Thumbs wrapped around the pull-up bar…yes or no?-Guilty food pleasure that is total trash.-A “go-to” warm-up when you don't want to think too hard.-Can you be “Fit & Fluffy”?-Strategy for “Death By” workouts.-What is a “good base of strict pull-ups”?-Pat & Adrian discuss these topics.
TOPICS • Holiday Not-So-Live catch-up with the crew • Backyard studio build progress and spending decisions • Home gym equipment tradeoffs and personal setups • World Fitness Project "Project One" workout breakdown • Online qualifiers, judging, and cheating in hybrid races • CrossFit "fittest on earth" tagline and fitness format comparisons • HYROX's pending points-based Elite 15 system • Wins vs depth of field vs Majors weighting debates • Athlete burnout and how much racing is too much • Fitness boom, content saturation, and whether hybrid races peak SUMMARY We close out the year with a wide-ranging Not-So-Live. I update where the backyard studio build stands and how I'm thinking about spending more on HVAC, plumbing, and peace of mind. We talk gear, home gyms, and why people wrestle with equipment decisions. Dave walks through the World Fitness Project "Project One" workout and why it felt heavy on running and lighter on strength. That leads into a broader chat about online qualifiers, community policing versus rules, and why judging online is almost harder than in person. We also debate CrossFit's "fittest on earth" slogan and how different formats test fitness differently. Then we get into HYROX: whether we're at peak HYROX, what the new points-based Elite 15 system might mean, how wins might stack against field depth and Majors, and whether requiring multiple races could push athlete burnout.

Fernando Martín, en '¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar!', comenta la historia de un conductor de tren japonés que pide perdón y ofrece la devolución del billete por un retraso de 35 segundos, contrastando con la situación en España. Martín aprovecha para pedir perdón: por insistir con el CrossFit, por inventarse los cuentos nocturnos a sus hijas y desear que no se coman su comida en restaurantes para que él pueda hacerlo. También se disculpa con su mujer Ana por dejar un poco de leche en el cartón y por cederle la primera croqueta mientras él se come las últimas cinco. Más adelante, se presenta la historia real de Hiroo Onoda, un soldado japonés que permanece escondido en la selva 30 años sin ser notificado del fin de la guerra. A continuación, se abordan situaciones cómicas con niños y móviles: un hijo graba a su padre en el baño, otro inventa una canción peculiar; una niña borra fotos a su madre, otra atribuye un selfie de su nariz a una IA. También se relata cómo un niño miente sobre la ...

After 20+ years of focusing on health, you might think we'd have it all figured out. But the truth is, the best gains still come from small, strategic tweaks - not dramatic overhauls.In Part 1 of our annual Five Factors Year in Review, we explore why structured intensity beats "just go hard" training, how mobility might be the unlocking factor you're ignoring, and why the simple nutrition habit of 30 grams of protein before 9am can transform your consistency.You'll discover why the Five Factors aren't independent pillars but ingredients in a stew - when you adjust one, you have to rebalance everything else. We break down the essential 20% across all five factors that deliver 80% of the results, and why going deeper into any single area actually works against you. This is about continuous refinement, not arriving at perfection.

-A VNR listener wants to know if someone cannot do a week of their scheduled programming because they are traveling for work, etc…when they return should they make up the week they missed?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Glynda McConville, an orthodontist from North Carolina who's built not just a well-balanced clinical life, but also a purposeful second business. We talk about her journey from New York to North Carolina, building a lifestyle-focused ortho practice across two locations, and how her love for CrossFit turned into a thriving side hustle that fuels her energy and sense of purpose.This is a down-to-earth, real-world conversation about how to design a practice around the life you want—and not the other way around. Glynda shares how she manages 70+ patients a day across three days a week, runs a team that travels between offices, and coaches at her own gym. We even get into the lessons she's learning about community, growth, and maybe… opening a pickleball facility next.Quotes:“I didn't set out to be a big business—I just saw an opportunity and said, ‘If I don't do this, someone else will.'”— Dr. Glynda McConville“CrossFit's been my reset.

Maximizing your healthspan requires understanding your specific genetic blueprint to see how your body processes fats, carbs, and antioxidants. Standard medical school training provides only a fraction of the education needed to understand nutrition and prevention. I sat down with Dr. Jeff Graham to uncover why common health "hacks" like Vitamin E or intermittent fasting might be backfiring based on your DNA. We explore the transition from high-intensity athletics to longevity-focused movement, and how advanced testing identifies disease risks years before they appear on a standard lab report.Jeff breaks down the impact of the APOE and MTHFR genes on brain health, the surprising anti-inflammatory benefits of sardines, and why muscle mass is your greatest currency as you age. We also discuss the future of AI in diagnostics, the truth about CrossFit injuries, and why contrast therapy is a non-negotiable for cellular resilience."If you're investing in anything with your time or your money that isn't asking you to do something hard most days, then you need to run away." - Dr. Jeff GrahamSupport the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 About Jeff Graham:Dr. Jeff Graham is a performance and longevity expert combining clinical expertise with precision genomic medicine.

Stress doesn't wait for a convenient moment, so why should resilience training wait for a crisis? We sit down with Coach Kay, a PhD serving first responders, ER teams, and other high‑stress professionals, to unpack a practical roadmap for emotional resilience you can actually use. We connect the dots between addiction, overwhelm, and the brain's survival circuitry, then break down simple steps to recruit the prefrontal cortex, label emotions accurately, and respond with intention instead of impulse.You'll hear a clear definition of emotional resilience as a learnable skill and a tour of the six domains that make it concrete: vision, composure, reasoning, health, tenacity, and collaboration. We talk through what a first session looks like, why early “small wins” build momentum, and how honest conversation itself shifts brain chemistry. For clinicians and caregivers, we address the bitter edge of burnout and PTSD and show how third‑person perspective and narrative reframing loosen long‑held patterns without minimizing the pain that created them. If you're supporting people in recovery, you'll get language to explain limbic activation, why substances become shortcuts, and how proactive habits restore choice.This conversation is warm, candid, and grounded: practical journaling prompts, mindfulness tactics, and movement as medicine—whether that's CrossFit or a neighborhood game of basketball. We make the case for teaching resilience to teens during key developmental windows while reminding everyone that it's never too late to start. The thread throughout is agency: notice what you feel, understand why, and build rituals that help you act on your values when it counts.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague who's carrying too much, and leave a review with one resilience practice you're trying this week. Your story might be the nudge someone else needs.To learn more about Coach Kay's work: https://www.psyrescoaching.com/aboutTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com
Send us a textUsha's story is proof that our bodies — and our spirits — are capable of so much more than we think. In this episode of the Run Strong Run Podcast, Steph sits down with Usha, a marathoner, mom, photographer, and all-around powerhouse who turned years of healing, two major surgeries, and motherhood into a powerful CIM marathon PR.Usha first ran a full marathon back in 2018 at the San Francisco Marathon, finishing in just over six hours with minimal fueling. Then life happened: pregnancy, postpartum recovery, an ectopic pregnancy, emergency surgery, and later a second major surgery. Each time, she had to relearn how to walk before she could even think about running again.Despite all of that, Usha set her sights on the California International Marathon — not just once, but multiple years in a row. In 2024 she finished just behind the sweepers at CIM and didn't get an official finish time. In 2025, she came back stronger, ran in a saree that she considers a blessing from a sacred temple in India, joined a CrossFit gym to rebuild her strength, used run-walk intervals with Steph's 5:50 pace group, and crossed the finish line with a HUGE PR: 5:48:55.In this conversation, we talk about:How Usha went from “gym regular” to marathonerNavigating pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, surgery, and long recoveriesWhat it was like to run CIM in a sareeUsing run-walk intervals and a Gymboss timer to chase a marathon PRMental tricks for getting through the hard miles (hello, “just get to the next tree”)The power of supportive partners and family during marathon trainingUsha's encouragement for anyone scared to sign up for their first marathonIf you've ever wondered, “Can I really do this?” — this episode is your answer.Related LinksConnect with Usha on Instagram: @therun_theworkout_themomFollow Steph on Instagram: @runstrongrunLearn more about the California International Marathon (CIM)Interval Running for Beginners: Starting Smart and Strong (Steph's course)Download a 5:50 Marathon Pace Band
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and Ozempic are already being used by gym members, and most gym owners have no plan for it.In this episode of the Sweat Success Podcast, we break down how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and telehealth are changing the fitness industry, and what gym owners, CrossFit affiliates, and personal trainers need to understand right now.This conversation covers:What GLP-1 drugs and semaglutide actually do in the bodyWhy gym members are already using weight-loss medicationThe biggest risks of ignoring GLP-1s inside gymsHow inflammation, hormones, and food noise impact fitness resultsThe difference between unsafe shortcuts and guided medical wellnessHow gyms can talk about GLP-1s ethically without prescribing or crossing linesWhy GLP-1s can increase gym attendance, intensity, and retentionIf you're a gym owner, personal trainer, or fitness business operator, this episode will help you understand the reality of GLP-1 medications in fitness before misinformation or fear costs you trust and members._______________________________________________________________________________________________Dave Appel is a gym owner and medical wellness operator working at the intersection of fitness, hormones, and telehealth.

In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Cody and Justin, the owners of the brand-new CrossFit gym coming to Republic, Missouri — CrossFit Tribelent. The name says it all: Tribe + Relentless = Tribelent, and that mindset runs through everything they're building. We talk about why they decided to open a gym, what pushed them to take the leap into ownership, and the work they've been grinding through leading up to their grand opening on January 3, 2026. From long days, big goals, and plenty of challenges, Cody and Justin share what it really looks like behind the scenes of launching a fitness community from the ground up. The conversation naturally dives into competition, personal goals, and the importance of creating the right tribe — not just a place to work out, but a place where people feel supported, challenged, and welcomed. This episode is packed with laughs, motivation, and honest talk about building something meaningful together. If you're into fitness, entrepreneurship, or just love hearing stories about people betting on themselves and their community, this is one you don't want to miss.
This week on the CrossFit Grandview Podcast we're sitting down with Abby Moser — and her story is a perfect example of trusting the process.A year ago Abby started with Kate through Body Biz. From there, the plan evolved into Grandview Barbell and Power Hour — her first real exposure to barbell training and structured strength work.The result?More muscle. More strength. A visible body transformation. And a mindset shift that carries far beyond the gym.And because this place is bigger than training alone, Abby also stepped up to organize our Alicia's Closet Toy Drive, helping make Christmas happen for around 50 kids in our community.Training builds strength. Community builds impact.

Learn how to embrace discomfort to build real wealth and thrive in the AI era. Embrace discomfort is the driving force behind every breakthrough in business, wealth-building, and personal growth — and this episode dives deep into why leaning into uncertainty is the only path forward. Charles and Garrett explore how confronting fear builds the muscle for success, why most financial advice keeps entrepreneurs stuck, and how to think differently about cash, investments, and protecting your wealth. The conversation also tackles the rapid rise of AI and why those who refuse to get uncomfortable and adapt will be left behind while others multiply their impact and income. Garrett Gunderson is a financial strategist and founder of Wealth Factory, helping self-made entrepreneurs build economic independence. Coming from a fourth-generation coal mining family in rural Utah, Garrett built his approach to wealth on blue-collar values and a mission to break the cycle of scarcity. He's the author of multiple books including Money Unmasked and is known for making complex financial concepts accessible. When he's not speaking on stages around the country, Garrett performs standup comedy and stays active with CrossFit. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Building confidence comes from repeatedly confronting discomfort, whether it's public speaking, dancing, or making tough financial decisions. Most financial advice is designed to benefit advisors, not entrepreneurs — question everything you've been taught about money. Cash isn't just king; it's the foundation that gives you options, opportunities, and protection against uncertainty. Giving away equity to partners is a mistake most entrepreneurs make multiple times before learning to protect what they've built. AI will create massive wealth for those who embrace it and widen the gap for those who resist change. Human purpose and strategic thinking are what separate thriving entrepreneurs from those replaced by technology. The speed of AI adoption will outpace most people's willingness to adapt, creating both opportunity and disruption. Legacy isn't just about money — it's about the values, skills, and independence you pass on to the next generation.

Weird and wonderful fitness races and challenges have been around for a while. Over the years, CrossFit has created a sport that provides the variety and spectacle we see in other sports, but now we are seeing many more styles of fitness races becoming very popular. Hyrox has gained a significant amount of momentum over the last couple of years and still seems to be on the way up. Athx is trying to create an event that sits somewhere between Hyrox and CrossFit, providing a one hour fitness race like Hyrox, spread across three different workouts that test strength, endurance and mixed modal fitness like CrossFit. Over the years, we have also seen different organisations and coaching companies create their own type of fitness race, such as the OPTathlon from OPT, now OPEX, and The Crucible from Complete Human Performance. In this episode, we talk about some of the key differences between these events, where they might complement each other, and what one type of event or race could learn from another.

Join Rich Froning as he sits down with former Navy SEAL Ian Schinelli for a deep dive into preparation, pressure, and what it takes to stay ready when it matters. From marathon and swim events for the SEAL Foundation to the realities of SEAL training, Ian breaks down how running, swimming, and thousands of reps built the foundation he needed long before stepping into BUD/S. He explains the shock of Hell Week, the mindset that keeps you from quitting, and why controlling your head is more important than controlling your body.The conversation turns to shared suffering—how CrossFit, hunting, and even long mountain days create the same kind of bond Ian found in the military. He and Rich talk about balancing training with real life, why community makes hard things possible, and what happens to your calm under pressure when the chaos hits.

The fastest way to figure out what people want is by asking the right clients the right questions.Today, Mike Warkentin sits down with gym owner Toni Roy of Breathe CrossFit to break down how the Pumpkin Plan transformed her business.Following the steps, Toni created a list of clients who bring her the most joy and a second list with her highest-value clients. Typically, a gym owner circles the clients on both lists to ID the members they want to replicate. In Toni's case, the groups had zero overlap. This insight pushed her to rethink her offerings and create a hybrid membership built around CrossFit, personal training and nutrition—a combo that delivers better results for clients and boosts average revenue per member.Now, regular Goal Review Sessions allow her to continue the conversation: She can catch problems early, celebrate successes and upgrade prescriptions to serve clients better. Toni also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the new-moms group she developed with her Two-Brain mentor. The support-centered program is already turning into a relationship-building referral funnel.

In this episode, I go over one AI news item I can't stop thinking about, one trend you can build a business around, two tools I'm using, one startup idea you should steal, and one framework to end on. I start with a leak suggesting Anthropic is productizing “agent mode” for Claude with structured task buckets and a progress/context UI. Then I use Hyrox as an example of how I validate trends quickly with search data (and what “low competition + cheap CPC + explosive growth” signals). I wrap by pitching a hotel guest-communication concierge and the “thousand people framework” for getting to clarity on your ICP and what they'll reliably pay for. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:32 – AI New Item: Anthropic leak: Agent Task Mode for Claude 04:47 – Trend: Hyrox 08:59 – AI App: Krea and Notebook LLM 12:23 – Startup idea: Digital Hotel Concierge 15:59 – Framework: The “1000 People” For founders doing $50k+ MRR+: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/offline-mode Key Points Agent workflows get “productized” when the UI guides the task (not just a blank prompt box). Trend validation can be fast: look for explosive growth + low competition + cheap CPC, then ideate apps around it. NotebookLM's slide generation is an underrated workflow for turning sources into clean decks. The “Guest Guide” concept is a simple AI/QR wedge: answer repetitive hotel questions and monetize per property. The thousand-people exercise forces clarity: who exactly buys, what they pay yearly, and how you reach them. Section Summaries The Claude Agent Mode Leak I break down a leak claiming Anthropic is preparing a more structured “agent mode” for Claude, organized into buckets like research, analyze, write, and build plus choices like depth, format, and outputs. The big shift is moving from “open chat” to “delegating distinct tasks” with visibility into progress and context. Productized Prompts = Better Output I explain why a blank text box can be daunting, and why UI that scaffolds intent (validate/compare/forecast, quick vs. thorough, doc vs. slides vs. spreadsheet) can make results meaningfully better. To me, it points at a future where you “check in” on agents like teammates. Trend Hunting I use Hyrox, an indoor fitness competition that's “like the new CrossFit,” as a real example of how I sanity-check whether something is becoming a business opportunity. The workflow is simple: I see it in culture, then I go straight to Idea Browser to pull search/CPC/competition signals. Two Tools I'm Testing I call out Krea as a creative AI subscription bundling multiple models, and then I highlight NotebookLM's slide/infographic feature as the underrated part—turning a source (including transcripts) into clean, well-designed slides with strong hierarchy. Steal This: Guest Guide I pitch a hotel digital concierge that handles common guest questions via QR-code guides, priced per property with affiliate upside, and I reference Sadie as an adjacent AI hospitality product (more on calls/reservations). Then I close with the “thousand people framework”: define the real ICP, map what they'll pay yearly, and figure out distribution—because clarity is the driver.

You've done the work. You've built the career, gone to therapy, read the books. So why does love still feel like the one area where your brilliance doesn't translate?Annie Lalla is a relationship cartographer with an Honors Science Degree in Biology and Philosophy, a minor in Buddhism, and professional certifications in Coaching, NLP, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Her work weaves evolutionary psychology, integral theory, intergenerational family systems, and therapeutic sexuality into a framework that actually works. She helps singles done with dating find their person—and couples in love resolve the conflicts that keep them stuck. Her mission: help you build a relationship that's a trampoline for your dreams and a sanctuary for your heart.In this episode, you'll discover:→ Why women are actually the visionary leaders of relationships—and what happens when they wait to be rescued instead→ The reason your partner triggers you so intensely (hint: you've time-traveled back to childhood)→ How to know if overwhelming emotions are actually yours—or inherited pain you've been carrying for someone else→ The simple practice that releases feelings that aren't yours back to their rightful owner→ Why conflict is actually a collaboration trying to happen—and how to use it to strengthen your bond→ The "WTF to MLK" method that transforms criticism into an invitation your partner can't refuse→ What your partner is really doing when they challenge you (think Michelangelo carving David)→ The one question that reveals whether a relationship is worth the growth it demandsHere's the truth: The love you're looking for exists. But it won't come from rescue. It won't come from finding someone who finally "gets it" so you don't have to feel your feelings anymore. True love is the emotional CrossFit of human existence—and it's rare because most people are chasing happily ever after instead of alive ever after. The fantasy says love should be easy. The truth says love is the highest game you can play as a human being. You have everything you need to lead.

What if the pressure you feel before a big moment isn't a lack of confidence - it's proof you're alive and engaged?Most of us wait to feel confident before we act, but elite performers know the truth: confidence isn't a feeling, it's a choice you make through your actions.In this conversation with Laura Ianello, head women's golf coach at the University of Texas, we explore the practical mental skills that separate those who perform under pressure from those who collapse.You'll learn a simple four-step protocol to recenter yourself when the stakes are high, why losing can be exciting, and how to build routines that carry you through moments when motivation fails.

What happens if you strip the 2025 CrossFit Games down to its rawest form? This podcast takes on the challenge of reprogramming the 2025 CrossFit Games—no machines allowed. No rowers, no bikes, no SkiErgs—just barbells, bodyweight, dumbbells, odd objects, and classic CrossFit tests of strength, stamina, and skill. This episode breaks down how removing machines changes athlete separation, event flow, and the overall test of fitness. We debate what's gained, what's lost, and whether a machine-free Games would better define the fittest on Earth.
