“The Fittest Man on Earth”. That's the title that was bestowed upon Jason Khalipa after he won the 2008 CrossFit Games. That alone makes him a man worth listening to, but Khalipa's legacy transcends the boundaries of fitness and personal development to something far more consequential. Khalipa retired from CrossFit in 2016 following his daughter Ava's devastating leukaemia diagnosis. In the face of this and other challenges, Jason and his wife Ashley embraced what he calls the “AMRAP Mentality” – a philosophy drawn from the CrossFit term “as many reps as possible.”This mindset emphasises focusing on what you can control, earning confidence through hard work, and maintaining a positive attitude in even the toughest times. The AMRAP Mentality not only helped Jason and his family navigate Ava's treatment but also inspired him to share this approach with others, and led to a book titled “AMRAP Mentality”, which outlines how this philosophy can be applied to overcome life's challenges and achieve personal goals. His daughter's diagnosis ultimately led to the creation of Ava's Kitchen, a non-profit founded by Jason and Ashley which – among other things – hosts an annual benefit dinner featuring renowned chefs and live auctions to raise funds for families impacted by paediatric cancer. Partnering with the Jessie Rees Foundation, it helps to support these families through various programmes including Breakaway Adventures, which provides memorable experiences for children undergoing treatment. From dominating in the CrossFit Games to overcoming personal trials and now leading the charge in the fitness industry with his innovative programmes, Jason's story is one of relentless dedication and resilience. His TRAIN HARD philosophy isn't just about physical training; it's about being as capable as possible to protect and provide for your family and community. Khalipa's journey is a testament to the power of determination, the importance of a supportive community, the relentless pursuit of excellence, and the ability to turn adversity into strength.

On today's episode, I decided to do things a little differently. As we kick off the month of September, we also mark the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, so I brought on a very special guest. Erik Rees is the Head of the Jessie Rees Foundation, better known as Jessie's Dad. I wanted to bring on Erik to tell his daughter's story. Jessie was an 11-year-old diagnosed with DIPG, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer. During her fight, rather than making it all about her, Jessie wanted to help the other kids fighting cancer and brighten their days to make it better. It started with a simple question: How can we help them? She created Jessie's Joy Jars. These jars are filled to the top with toys, games, and other things to bring joy to kids confined to their hospital rooms to "cure a bad day." Jessie's spirt to never ever give up, or NEGU, as she would say has been able to reach over 300,000 kids battling cancer in all 50 states and over 40 countries. You'll hear all about Jessie, her fight, and what the foundation is up to these days. To Learn More about the Jessie Rees Foundation and the challenges for September, please go to negu.org/challenge Follow @TeamNEGU on all social media! **Fact Check** In the episode I said that every 46 minutes a child is told that they have cancer, but the real statistic is every day, 46 kids are told they have cancer. Apologies for the misstep. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/normalguylazyeye/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/normalguylazyeye/support
