Meet Evan Dollard, also known as Rocket from American Gladiators and American Ninja Warrior. In this episode, we talk about being from the Midwest, our former hoop dreams and figuring out how to become who you want to be. I hope you like laughing...because there is a lot of it in this episode. About The Show: LA is a city of 4 million spread over 503 miles, 114 neighborhoods and can take over an hour to get from one side to the other. With that many people bumping up against each other, how is it possible to feel alone and isolated. It's a city of paradox: dreams and heartbreak. Lifelong locals and those just coming in for a shot. Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect. Talk about our lives and what got us to where we are today. Talking. What does it mean for two people to get to know each other? It's also a show about connection in the larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. And as the weeks progress, it'll filter up a chain of people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know. That person we pass in the street, get behind at the grocery store, sit next to at the bar. They are all more connected to us than we may realize at first glance. A couple handshakes away...or, for the bold, maybe just one. I'm Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA. But...now I know you.

The Rocket Evan Dollard has overcome big obstacles to live his dreams Evan Dollard lost...

Please leave a review at http://www.openskyfitness.com/review   We had two special guests on this week's episode of the Open Sky Fitness Podcast. One of our previous guests, Evan Dollard, teamed up with Rob to talk to fellow extreme obstacle athlete, Hunter McIntyre. Evan was the 2008 male winner of American Gladiators and also competed on American Ninja Warrior 2. Hunter is Spartan Race Athlete and has been featured on the TV show, Boundless. Next up in both of their careers, they are participating in NBC's Summer Spartan Ultimate Challenge which begins airing on Monday, June 13th. Evan is the Field Reporter of the show while Hunter leads on one of the teams through the race as a Spartan Elite. We had an amazing time on the show while learning more about Hunter and his story about how he came to be a Spartan Athlete. It's a wild journey of how he evolved from being a mischievous high school kid to a logger and how that path eventually led him to become one of the world's best short course and long course extreme obstacle athletes. Hunter's story is truly inspiring and one of a kind. He also shared with us how participating in specific training events such as the SEALFIT Kokoro Camp really helped him mature and become the leader that he is today. About Hunter McIntyre Hunter possesses a unique and potent combination of strength and endurance. As an avid student of the Crossfit Endurance training method he’s successfully welded the physique and strength of a Crossfit competitor with the endurance of a marathon runner. Hunter AKA ‘The Sheriff” loves to perform with the showmanship of a WWF wrestler. He is, however, an inveterate lover of all things- particularly life. At the age of just 27 he’s already been a lumberjack in Montana, a party “enthusiast”, and a male model. His wild and crazy charisma shines, Hunter, was born to entertain! His passion for life is built around creating each day to be better than the day before. Hunter’s fanatical love for Obstacle Course Racing pushes him every day to the limits, while cultivating his goals of continuing to be the very best athlete the sport has to offer. Hunter inspires others to athleticism by demonstrating the sheer fun of life. Have a Question for Rob or Devon? We love answering questions and getting feedback from you, our listener!

She also has created the Seven Day Jump Start System helping people all over the world lose weight. She came upon the fitness world after hitting an emotional and financial rock bottom after going through a bad divorce while being pregnant. She gained over 50 pounds at 5’2’’ and felt depressed and out of touch with the rest of the world. After making a vision board (yes, a cheesy vision board), she slowly engulfed herself reading about health and fitness. She reached out to her community on Facebook and shared her progress with the world as she worked her way back to a life she loved.

How does one, like Evan Dollard, become an American Gladiator? The frank answer, according to him, is that you don’t. Instead you make all the preparations within your power; go where the action is; pursue your passion to the fullest; make yourself known and talk to the right people and do everything to put the odds in your favor. If it doesn’t work out chances are that you’ve created an environment where something else, maybe even something better, will. This is the way to live a fully realized life, one without regrets. Dollard is living it and he has some valuable wisdom to help you live it too.Lessons:    1.    It’s worth laying the groundwork when pursuing an opportunity because even if it doesn’t pan out, you’ll be ready for the unexpected opportunity that may be around the corner.    2.    The riskier path is worth it even if you don’t meet your goal since it means eliminating the “what ifs” and “if onlys” and living a life without regret.    3.    Always move forward: If you see a stagnant pond you don’t drink from it but instead seek out the fast flowing stream with the freshest water.

Today on the Open Sky Fitness podcast, we have Evan “Rocket” Dollard hilariously charming American Gladiator, T.V. host, actor and four-time competitor on Ninja Warrior. Evan starts us off by giving a low down on everything from quirky gladiator nicknames, to working with Laila Ali, Hulk Hogan and how Evan won the first season of American Gladiator. Evan, Rob, and Jeff share laugh out loud worthy stories on zits, obstacles courses, childhood games, and training methods. When it comes to his training and background Evan says he’s always been the guy that is, “good at a lot of different things but never great at one.” He then gives us insight on the events in his life that brought him to where he is today. “I guess I’m really good at gladiating…that was the take away!” Evan also tells us about his Youtube business and active lifestyle tips he loves to share to help others optimize health and confidence. This episode is great for anyone who is interested in a good laugh, some sound advice, and a behind the scenes look into some of your favorite physical competition shows.

Episode 122 - Evan Dollard had a very direct approach to getting on American Ninja Warrior. He sent them tape of his role as TV's "Rocket" from American Gladiators. Evan talks about working with icons like Dan "Nitro" Clark and The Hulkster, on the reboot of that famous show. Evan also explains why he thinks the new version of American Gladiators died an early death. Right in the middle of the interview, Evan delivers what would be the perfect ending, but unfortunately, Matt still needed to ask him about American Ninja Warrior. So there's 20 more good minutes on ANW. Enjoy. Today's episode is sponsored by BattleFrog Series, Savage Race, and The Udder Mud Run.
