Last year, after racing the AT&T Spartan Stadium race in San Francisco, I took my wife and twin boys to a private screening of (I'm not much of a Hollywood guy). Actually, this wasn't even a movie. It was a documentary, a genre that I really only tap into when my assistant sends me an audio download of some documentary somebody tells me I "must-see" and then I listen to it while I'm walking through the forest and imagine what is going on  from a visual standpoint (as a film nerd, my guest on today's podcast would probably throttle me for this). Anyways, I walked out of the screening incredibly impressed. I laughed, I was inspired, I was on the edge of my seat, my kids were howling with laughter, and my wife loved it. So what did we see exactly? The documentary is called "". It's all about the global obstacle course phenomenon, and in a highly entertaining and funny way, it explores the history of the sport, the psychology behind it, the personalities that drive it, and asks what it says about the world we're living in. Here's the trailer: Director Scott Keneally is my guest on today's show. This self-proclaimed “beta male” has been stuck in the mud since the fall of 2011, when he tackled his first Tough Mudder. Back then, the first-time filmmaker had no idea he’d be making a movie about any of this stuff. He went into it with a simple plan: to suffer and write a story about the suffering. Keneally had previously confessed to things like bedwetting and sweaty pits in places like the New York Times Styles section, and figured the one about training up and tackling a paramilitary assault course would make for funny material. That essay was featured on the cover of his local alt-weekly, but more importantly, while researching the history of the company, he stumbled upon a “Social Network”-style scandal surrounding its origins. He quickly reinvented himself as an investigative journalist, and his story ultimately landed on the cover of Outside. The exposé received widespread media attention, opening doors to a consulting gig with 60 Minutes Sports, a speaking engagement at Stanford Business School and—by kismet or luck—an unlikely new career path as a filmmaker. When he’s not running in mud, Keneally works as a treatment writer for some of the top directors in music videos and commercials. Over the past 15 years, he has collaborated on videos for Rihanna, Madonna, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, as well as Paris Hilton’s infamous burger commercial. He has also been known to play didgeridoo with the criminally under-discovered rock band OURS, through which he has toured with Marilyn Manson and recorded on the band’s Rick Rubin-produced record, “Mercy.” He received his B.A. from Boston College (’99) and his M.F.A. from University of San Francisco (’04). He lives on a vineyard in Sonoma County, CA, with his wife and little boy. During my discussion with Scott, you'll discover: -How raves, micro-dosing with LSD, and rebelling against being a preppie turned Scott from wanting to be the president of the United States to instead making music videos and eventually obstacle course racing...[13:45] -The crazy, eccentric man named "Mr. Mouse" who inspired Scott to make the Sufferfests movie... [19:45] -Scott's take on why millions of people are suddenly paying to suffer through ice, fire, electricity, barbed wire, mud and more...[28:20] -The concept of "The Strenuous Life" and why humans are hardwired to want to get out of our comfortable lives...[31:20] -Why a shocking number of people are doing obstacle course racing to get a good profile pic...[35:20] -The intriguing link between the "masculinity crisis" and obstacle course racing...[47:05] -Why you must have some aspect of fear and discomfort in your life...[52:00] -What were the craziest adventures you embarked upon while filming Sufferfest? [59:35] -What Scott thinks is the next "big thing" in OCR...[62:20] -And much more!

On this week's episode, Peter King talks to Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, and 60 Minutes Sports correspondent Armen Keteyian. Mike McCarthy talks about how he kept his team together after a four game losing streak, his working relationship with Aaron Rodgers, and surviving in Green Bay longer than Vince Lombardi. Keteyian explains why people should watch a documentary about a football player from two decades ago, why Lawrence Phillips is relevant today, and what advice he would give to Goodell and the NFL about how to reduce cases of domestic violence. Keteyian covered the Patriots often during his eight years as a CBS sideline reporter and he explains why Bill Belichick stands alone in his mind among NFL coaches.

No doubt by now you've either heard of obstacle course racing or have participated in one. Whether you take pleasure in submitting yourself to pain and discomfort or not, I can tell you that these types of races have helped me push beyond my perceived limitations. Today writer and director, Scott Keneally, joins me to talk about his documentary, Rise of the Sufferfests, the driving force behind the incredible growth of obstacle course racing, and what you can learn about yourself through participating in a race of your own. SCOTT KENEALLY Scott Keneally is the writer/director behind Rise of the Sufferfests, the first feature documentary about the global obstacle course racing phenomenon. The film explores the history of the sport, psychology behind it, personalities that drive it, and asks what it says about the world we’re living in. Specifically: why is everyone suddenly paying for pain? He is a self-proclaimed “beta male” and in 2011 he tackled his first Tough Mudder. His articles and interviews documenting his experiences have been featured on the cover of Outside Magazine,  60 Minutes Sports, and a speaking engagement at Stanford Business School. Scott is a treatment writer for some of the top directors in music videos and commercials. And, over the past 15 years, he has collaborated on videos for Rihanna, Madonna, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, as well as Paris Hilton. Today, he's here to talk about his documentary, Rise of the Sufferfests and why all of us should consider embracing the suffering.

On the eighth episode of the sixth season of The Sports-Casters hosts Steve Bennett and Don Russ welcome Jon Wertheim (Executive Editor, Sports Illustrated) and Ed Sherman (Chicago Tribune). Starting the show with 3Things, Steve and Don look back at the start of NFL free agency, look ahead to selection Sunday and the NCAA basketball tournament, and talk about an SI cover story on Patrick Kane. The book club says goodbye to the first book of 2016 called, This is Your Brain on Sports: The Science of Underdogs, the Value of Rivalry, and What We Can Learn from the T-Shirt Cannon by Jon Wertheim and Sam Sommers. Finally, the show ends with Don talking about Better Call Saul, and Steve explains why Jeramy Carroll should be the new singer of the Stone Temple Pilots. -Jon Wertheim is making his fourteenth appearance (0:22:00) on the podcast to discuss the book he co-authored with Sam Sommers called, "This is Your Brain on Sports: The Science of Underdogs, the Value of Rivalry, and What We Can Learn from the T-Shirt Cannon." Jon explains how this book is similar to his previous book Scorecasting and how it's different. Jon explains why we love free stuff so much, why NFL quarterbacks aren't as handsome as people think, and why hockey goons would rather fight at home. Before going back to his day job, Wertheim chats about Ronda Rousey, his piece for 60 Minutes Sports on Holly Holm, and keeps us up to date on the happenings at Sports Illustrated. -Ed Sherman is making his eighth appearance (01:02:04) on the podcast. Sherman joins us to talk about the current SI cover story on Patrick Kane by SL Price. Sherman explains why he doesn't think the piece contains a pro Kane or NHL agenda, why SL Price was the perfect person to tell the story, and why it made sense for Sports Illustrated to put Kane on the cover. Sherman objects to the NHL's decision to use the word "unfounded" in their statement and explains why it was a mistake. Before he goes, Ed gives us an update on the status of his website, Sherman Report.

Minicamp and other offseason workouts have concluded. Brandan and Adam talk about some of the major story lines coming out of Seattle. With all of the positive news coming from players and coaches, the guys talk about how to listen and certain cues that let you know just how excited about a particular player coaches actually are.  Marshawn Lynch appeared on 60 Minutes Sports and was very clear on whether or not he'll be returning to the football field. Is that going to stop reporters from speculating on his return? No, it probably won't. Because this is the season for making lists, we take a look at some of them and see just how poorly some of our favorite Seahawks rank out on those lists. From Earl Thomas taking a tremendous fall from where he was last year in the NFL Top 100 to Pete Prisco's ranking of Russell Wilson in his own top 100 list, the guys take a run at each of them as well as give credit where it is due. After our own list that we put together over the voting period for this year's Podcast Awards, we got some feedback from regular listeners as well as a first-time listener. Brian Bosworth tuned into our show about him and had a few reactions to it that we share in the second half of the show. Lastly, in the Do Better segment, Brandan goes after Coach Carroll for ruining the hopes and dreams of a former NBA star and someone who would have at least been fun to see in the preseason while Adam goes after another list maker who may have had the worst list of them all in his opinion. Better at Life nods this week go to the NFL for their rule that has the potential to ruin the Packers season and to Walter Thurmond III for having an outstanding softball alias.  iTunes | Google Play Music | Stitcher | TuneIn | Facebook | Twitter | RSS Or listen via our free Amazon app, Android app, or iOS app Call or text: 253-235-9041 Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com Visit Patreon.com if you'd like to help support the show and get bonus episodes Find Sea Hawkers clubs around the world at SeaHawkers.org Music from the show by The 12 Train, download each track at ReverbNation

  Episode 119 - Today’s first interview is with Scott Keneally. For those that don’t know, Scott broke the story that rocked OCR back in November of 2012 about the history of Tough Mudder.  A few months later, he parlayed that into a piece about OCR for 60 Minutes Sports. Since then, he has been hard at work at producing Rise Of The Sufferfests, a documentary which examines OCR as a whole, and what it says about our culture.    The 2nd interview is with Julia Webb. We talked to her shortly after she placed third at the Warrior Dash World Championships (WDWC) back in October. Julia discussed why she signed up for WDWC, setting baby stroller running records, and her OCR plans for the future.   Please support the sponsors of this episode:   Rugged Maniac  - Promo code is "orm5"   Udder Mud Run - Promo code is "runorm"    Battlefrog  - Promo code is "battleorm"   Show Notes:   Scott Playing Dirty by Scott Keneally Races from Hell-60 Minutes Sports More about Rise Of The Sufferfests Scott's "hypothermia video" from this most recent Tough Guy   Julia Episode 103 where we talked to Julia's friends Renee and Kimber 10k Baby Stroller World Record Atlas Pro Team Profile    

Episode 108 - In today's show, we talk to with 3 top finishers from this year's World's Toughest Mudder. Allison Tai is like many Canadian athletes we have met in recent months. She's sweet, humble, and really good at obstacle racing. She won the Edmonton Spartan Sprint in July and the Canadian Spartan Ultra Beast in September. She then turned in an impressive 4th at the Spartan Super in Sacramento a few weeks later. At WTM, she beat all but 24 of the men and bested every woman other than Amelia Boone, completing 14 laps and 70 miles before time ran out. Despite great credentials, Miguel Medina and Hunter McIntyre showed up under the radar to WTM with Team Wolfpack Spartan. They then spent the next 24 hours (plus) fighting off Under Armour Team Australia to take home the 1st place team prize. Today's show is sponsored by Mad Anthony Mud Run.  Mad Anthony was known for his tenacity, intensity and character; we hope that you will bring those same attributes as you complete this adventurous challenge including numerous “battles” that will confront you along the way.

The foggy wilderness of career loss or change Recently, while watching a segment on 60 Minutes Sports, I realized I know people who are experiencing the same thing as retiring NFL players - THE WILDERNESS. In December, 2013 the NFL launched The Trust, an arm of the league designed to help players transition from being players to real human beings like the rest of us. According to an article published by MMQB (Monday Morning QuarterBack), a Sports Illustrated property... Launched last month, The Trust is an arm of the NFLPA that offers free amenities to former players in areas of health and nutrition, career transition and financial education. The $22 million a year budget (which will increase by five percent annually) was procured from the 2011 collective bargaining agreement with the league. “A big part of our negotiations had little to do with dollars or the salary cap,” says Kevin Mawae, the former NFLPA president who stepped down in 2012 . “It was about benefits and post-career options. So this was a huge victory for us.” Retired NFL players interviewed in the 60 Minutes Sports piece commonly refer to leaving their playing days behind and entering into "the wilderness." It's a place that's foreign to them. They've played football for as long as they can remember. Now, they're not playing and many of them are lost. A few - seemingly, far too few (hence the need for the creation of The Trust) - think seriously about crafting a future beyond the game while they're still playing. According to an article written last year, 78% of retired NFL players will file bankruptcy within 5 years. The article cites 5 reasons why professional athletes go broke, but there are many more. And it's not just about money. It's about sense of purpose. It's about confidence. It's about figuring things out and finding your way. Mostly, it's about finding your way out of THE WILDERNESS. Have You Lost Your Job - Your Career? We don't need a recession like the ginormous one that hit in 2008 to cause job losses. Jobs are lost even in good times. They're lost when employees haven't a clue, too. Jack Stack is known as the father of open-book management. In 1983, while serving as the plant manager of an International Harvester facility in Springfield, Missouri, Jack got word the plant would be closing. That meant 119 people would be out of work. The problem was, he thought they were doing well. Truth was, they were - so far as they knew. The problem was, they didn't know what they didn't know. They didn't see the big picture in the game of business. Sparked by knowing they could lose their entire plant because they didn't have the whole picture, Jack opened up the books. Literally. He shared financial information with the people. The employees began to take on a much greater sense of ownership as they could now relate their specific jobs to the overall financial welfare of the company. Productivity and profitability soared, along with Jack Stack's celebrity in business circles. Today, The Great Game of Business is not only a book that Jack wrote, but it's an entire training system conducted by SRM Holdings. They help people find their way out of the wilderness, even if they don't know they're lost. Jack is still pretty motivated to help people avoid facing the disastrous and unexpected news of plant closings, department shutdowns and other financial woes that hit the unsuspecting. Maybe you've experienced the same frustration and consternation that Jack felt back in the early 80's. Maybe you've walked out of a place where you worked for years with nothing more than a cardboard box. Welcome to THE WILDERNESS. Have You Lost Your Identity? People commonly talk of not knowing who they are any more. That NFL player who has known nothing other than playing football since grade school suddenly isn't playing any more. Now what? The question that rings inside his head nags at him, Who am I?" One day he knew. Just the other day.

Good is the enemy of great.” That's how Jim Collins begins his classic business best seller, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't. Collins argues the veracity of that sentence because people settle for good and stop pursuing better leaving us with good, but not great outcomes. I don't agree with Mr. Collins. Rather, I don't know how you can possibly achieve greatness without first being good. Let me tell you why I don't think good is the enemy of great! The Value Of The Process On The Mountain Mikaela Shiffrin, 2012 Mikaela Shiffrin is an 18-year-old World Cup Champion slalom skier. She was the subject of this month's 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime. Born in Vail, Colorado to parents who are both accomplished skiers, Ms. Shiffrin attended the Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont. Skiing conditions in Vermont more closely resemble those of the European ski circuit giving students experience and training that has produced 30 Olympians since it's inception in the early 1970's. The Shiffrins sent their daughter to Vermont for training, not because they're living vicariously through their talented daughter, but because she's driven and committed to become world-class. She clearly has championship stuff as evidenced by her recent World Cup championship runs. Mikaela is the youngest slalom World Champion in U.S. history. Jeff Shiffrin told 60 Minutes Sports that he and wife Eileen were not trying to produce a professional athlete. They simply wanted her to learn "the process." Mr. Shiffrin talked candidly about the dance with the mountain. When you ski a good run that has five good turns in it, you immediately say, "That was fun. I want to do that again." Mikaela's parents concentrated on that dance while insuring she had fun learning the process. The international skiing community marvels at Mikaela's focus, especially given her young age. However, when you understand how her parents and her coaches have helped her, it's apparent that they understood the value of repeating good habits. She wanted to be great so her supporters did everything possible to give her a process that would deliver consistently good results. That's why they recommended she delay her competition. On December 14, 2010 Mikaela won her first race. She was 15 and it was only her 8th International Ski Federation race ever! While other skiers were busy competing, she was busy training. Her coaches at Burke knew that a full day of competition would result in 2 ski runs while a full day of training would result in 15. Fifteen good ski runs a day over a prolonged period of time gave Mikaela the foundation to become a great world-class competitor. Burke Mountain Academy has an old-style ski lift where skiers straddle a single seat, remain on their skis and a cable pulls them back up to the top of the mountain. Those riding the cable back to the top are mere feet away from the course watching other skiers navigate the gates. During a full day of training the skiers are never off their skis, even when being pulled back to the top. Skiers sit in quiet, solitary reflection on the ride back up to the top. No cell phones, no conversation with friends. Each student is alone with their thoughts as they watch other students ski down the course. The coaches credit the process for providing students with good focus training. Mikaela is a training junkie who is known to spend up to 5 hours a day in the gym, when she's not on the mountain. When I was a J5 I did a lot of free skiing and I actually didn't like free skiing. I just thought it was a waste of time and I would've rather been training or directed free skiing. I always wanted to be thinking of something, whether it was arms forward or my parents had a saying 'knees to skis and hands in front’ – it's been drilled into my head and every time I get on snow that's what I start thinking. I did free ski a lot. I did do a lot of drills. It was probably 1/3 free skiing,
