Life and becoming the person you want to be.

If you know the name Matt Chan, then he needs no introduction. Skip this and start listening. His athletic journey started as a high school swimmer and continued as a collegiate water polo player at Western Illinois University. He originally took up CrossFit in his late 20s to help improve his endurance as a firefighter in Denver, Colorado. Despite making his games debut at 30 years old he went on to four top 10 finishes at the CrossFit Games (including runner-up in 2012). During this competitive peak Chan became a full-time athlete and one of the most popular and knowledgeable veterans in the sport. Now that he's done with the pro athlete phase of his life he's back to firefighting, and in addition he coaches at Train For the Win (aka TrainFTW). He has spent a lot of time on CrossFit Seminar Staff and has a leadership role in the Peer Fitness Trainer program in his fire department. Matt was also the Titan Games season 2 champion at 42 years old, enjoys climbing, mountain biking, and hunting. If you're curious about the Peer Fitness Trainer program it is a collaboration between ACE (the American Council on Exercise) and the IAFC (International Association of Fire Chiefs): https://www.iafc.org/topics-and-tools/resources/resource/iafc-iaff-ace-peer-fitness-training-certification-program-candidate-information-guide

This episode features Matt Cable sharing his story of surviving cancer not once, but twice. He currently has a thriving athletic career in addition to having a beautiful family even after he and his wife were told by medical professionals having children was improbable. The reoccurring theme throughout this episode is that Matt undoubtedly beats the odds time and time again. Matt is a retired USAF veteran, a member of the grid league Tampa Bay Brigade, and appeared on NBC's Titan Games with The Rock. The romantic in me loved hearing the story of how Matt and Ensley met (she is also a cancer survivor!), how she stayed by his side through his second cancer journey while battling her own and has never left his side. Her story is also one of selflessness, grit, and overcoming any and all obstacles. Instagram: @mattcable_ * I tried a new venue to record this podcast in, and unfortunately I am not pleased with the sound quality. Good news is Matt sounds awesome, but the result on my end is disappointing. I apologize for this, and I'll fix it for the next epidode. Please enjoy this amazing story regardless! * --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jaime-huestis/message

His groundbreaking hit Hell's Kitchen forged the modern food competition reality genre, while his Emmy-nominated American Ninja Warrior has spawned a cultural movement, with Ninja-inspired gyms in every major American city. In Reach, Smith shares adventures, triumphs, and hard-won lessons from his astonishing career, beginning with his unprecedented ascension from the ranks of sports production to become the youngest-ever head of CBC Sports. Never one to rest on his laurels, Smith moved from Canada to the United States to produce a wide variety of entertainment programming with his mentor, television icon Dick Clark. Years later, he spearheaded an entirely new approach to sports television at FOX Sports Net, helping to grow the fledgling business into a true industry powerhouse. In 2000, Smith made the biggest reach of his career with the launch of A. Smith & Co. Productions, which has produced over two hundred television shows on more than fifty networks. Across genres, formats, and platforms, Smith and his A. Smith & Co. team have earned a reputation for original, emotional, buzz-worthy, and deeply personal storytelling. In these pages, Smith takes us behind-the-scenes of dozens of pivotal moments in sports and television history, ranging from the high-intensity control room at the Olympics to the development of The Titan Games with Dwyane ("The Rock") Johnson. We learn about a show that never was with Donald Trump, as well as a super-far-fetched idea that became the bizarro-classic genre-buster I Survived a Japanese Game Show. Through winning anecdotes involving a disparate cast of famous characters, including Marlon Brando, Gordon Ramsay, Magic Johnson, Little Richard, Wayne Gretzky, Simon Cowell, and Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, Smith illustrates just how far you can go when you work hard, take risks, and reach for your dreams.

Smith embarked on his career in television as a twenty-two-year-old wunderkind, talking his way into sports production at CBC in his native Canada. He quickly distinguished himself as a rising star at the network, where he produced three Olympic Games among countless other high profile events. At the age of twenty-eight, Smith was named the youngest-ever head of CBC Sports. His successful run at the network ended when American broadcasting icon Dick Clark lured him to Hollywood to develop and produce a wide variety of entertainment programming. Then as the head of programming and production at FOX Sports Net, Smith played an instrumental role in the launch and growth of this massive entity, before the biggest reach of his life-the creation of his eponymous production company that has since thrived for more than twenty years and counting.

I am delighted to have Scott Emmens and Kara Lazauskas joining me on the podcast today! Scott is the President of MD Logic, and Kara is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with a graduate degree in Molecular Muscle Exercise Physiology and a background in Sports Medicine. Scott's fascination with fitness began when he was sixteen. He had asthma, and it confused him to see kids more out of shape than he was performing better than him. So he started working out. When he went to college, he developed an obsession with how the human body worked and became an amateur bodybuilder. Kara is a total badass! Even though she lost her left lung to a benign tumor when she was just three-and-a-half years old, she became a Titan Games competitor. She is also an MMA fighter. In this episode, Kara, Scott, and I dive into supplements in the sports and performance fields, the rigors of the FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Process), and the need for quality supplementation. We discuss the value of Creatine Monohydrate, its benefits, some common misconceptions, and age-related changes that impact metabolic health. We discuss how brain metabolism can be supported with Creatine, gender-related differences, how estrogen influences Creatine, and how Creatine can be helpful in reducing the risk of depression and influencing BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). We also get into the unmatched safety and security standards of MD Logic, my reasons for aligning with them in creating Creatine Monohydrate, and some upcoming discounts for Creatine and melatonin during the holidays. I sincerely hope you will enjoy listening to today's conversation as much as I did recording it! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Kara got to where she is today. How Scott got into using Creatine to biohack his fitness and health and started MD Logic. Scott shares some of his concerns about the supplement industry. Why is Creatine Monohydrate such an important supplement for muscle and brain health? The benefits of taking a daily dose of Creatine Monohydrate. How Creatine helps us have better quality sleep and perform better on lower energy. Why do we need to actively support our musculature throughout our lifetime? How Creatine helps to prevent sarcopenia and dementia as we age. How not supplementing with Creatine can impact mood disorders in women. How Creatine assists in reducing the risk of depression and influencing BDNF. How being physically active improves brain health and insulin sensitivity and contributes to metabolic health. What makes the Creatine Monohydrate created through MD Logic different and unique?
