What happens when your life's carefully planned trajectory suddenly pivots in an unexpected direction? Chase Brady, longtime coach at Double Edge Fitness, joins the podcast to reveal his surprising decision to transition from fitness coaching to law enforcement after completing his master's degree in exercise physiology.The conversation begins with Chase's revelation that despite years of planning for a doctoral program or physical therapy school, he found himself increasingly drawn to the Washoe County Sheriff's Department. With characteristic thoroughness, Chase approached this decision by conducting extensive interviews with current officers, preparing 24 questions for each and spending three hours in conversation with them. His conclusion was definitive: "This is 1 billion percent where I'm supposed to be."Chase and Derek discuss the challenging moment when Chase first shared his plans to leave Double Edge, the emotional weight of that conversation, and how they're both approaching this transition with optimism rather than loss. For Chase, this decision aligns with his personal values and desire to serve the community in a new capacity, summarized in his father's wise phrase: "You plan, God laughs."The podcast also covers Chase's recent health journey, including blood work showing elevated cholesterol levels and the proactive steps he's taking to optimize his metabolic health before entering law enforcement. Chase shares insights from his master's research on improving health for night shift officers through sleep and exercise modalities, knowledge that will serve him well in his new career.For Double Edge members wondering about the gym's future programming and coaching lineup, Derek outlines his approach to finding Chase's replacement and his own increased involvement in programming. Their candid conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into how life's unexpected turns often lead us exactly where we're meant to be.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/

Episode 22: Mary SilvaniIn 1982, hikers in the Sheep's Flat area of Nevada, near Lake Tahoe, found the body of a woman who had been shot in the head. No one was able to identify her, and she became known as Sheep's Flat Jane Doe. She was buried in an unmarked grave, and would remain unidentified for nearly four decades. DNA from the crime scene was preserved. In 2018, the Washoe County Sheriff's office teamed up with the DNA Doe project and Identifinders International to try to give Sheep's Flat Jane Doe her name back, and find her killer. And it worked. This case was the first in which forensic genealogy was utilized to identify both the victim and the killer.
