Running the Sahara Desert and Scaling Everest w/ Charlie Engle — Barbell Shrugged - 344 Oct 06, 2018

Show notes

Charlie Engle is an ultramarathon runner, an adventure-seeker, a global explorer, and a philanthropist. He's also a recovering crack addict, a convicted felon, and a man driven to the edge of human endurance and achievement.

Charlie is the author of Running Man: A Memoir of Ultra-Endurance, a gripping, vivid, gritty, funny, unforgettable memoir chronicling his globe-spanning races, his record-breaking 4500-mile run across the Sahara Desert, his decade long struggle with addiction, and an unfortunate stint in federal prison for mortgage fraud.

In this episode, we talk about how Charlie went from doing crack cocaine to ultra marathons, whether running is a healthy addiction, how Charline ran two marathons a day for 111 straight days, the chronicles of starting a foundation with Matt Damon for clean drinking water, and more.

Note from Charlie: Please visit water.org to raise awareness for global water crisis.

Building A Badass — National Best Seller — 6 Oct 05, 2018

Show notes

In this episode of Building A Badass, I talk about having confidence in your own work and knowledge, and what you can give the world by being who you are. I tell you how I unexpectedly became a writer through living my passion and being curious about the world.

Through passion I was able to explore what good nutrition looked like, and figure out what works for me. Using those tools, I just kept growing my confidence stronger and stronger, which eventually led me to end up in a National Best Seller list.

Stay Relentless,

- Christmas Abbott

Feed Me Fuel Me — Leader of Leaders w/ Aaron Guyett — 107 Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

Our guest this week, Aaron Guyett (@aaronguyett) has been given a warrior mind and body, that MUST serve, sacrifice, and lead in love for God and his fellow man. As a father, Marine, and coach, his why is summed up in seven words:

"Give your life in love for others."

Aaron wants people to know that they are loved and they matter. His intention through Leaders of Leaders (@leadersofleaders) is to give all of himself so that others may be lifted up for something greater than themselves. He cannot stand people mistreating the weak, taking advantage of the poor, or giving up to a life of victimhood. He believes we are all strong beyond measure, and even more so when we experience God's love and everlasting life.

Thanks for joining us this week, and let us know what stays with you after listening to Aaron's journey on this episode of Feed Me Fuel Me!

Enjoy!

Real Chalk — Maternity Expert, Entrepreneur & Certified Boss Ass Bit*^ w/ Nancy Anderson — 43 Oct 02, 2018

Show notes

This episode is peppered in with all the things; how to start and grow an online business, follow your dreams while answering to no one, raising the standard of care for pregnancy and post pregnancy women, debunking pregnancy fitness myths, nutrition chat, and so much more.

Fitness and nutrition expert, Nancy Anderson (@nancyandersonfit) M.S. Kinesiology, has paved the way for women to be less scared of "ruining" their bodies from pregnancy, training hard during pregnancy (Crossfit anyone?!), prioritizing self care, and being the breadwinner in her family. Gender norms? WTF is that? She gets raw, real, and down and dirty to how she moved her training business from the gym to online and is on her way to almost a 10x year in her second year of business.

In this episode, she chats about how she did it, her tips for others who want to start their own business, finding your passion, and how to stand out in an industry that is so inundated with the "kardashian effect" as she calls it - meaning seeing through the 'fake-ness' on social media.

Mom of 2 (both c-sections), Nancy trains over 1,000 moms every month online helping them train for pregnancy, train during pregnancy, heal their bodies and bounce back post pregnancy without any of the fluffy pink dumbbell bullshi*t. Real programs, real workouts, real results, based on real science.

Listen here for all of this and more plus a few f*bombs. Sorry in advance!

- Ryan

The Bledsoe Show — Paris Robinson: Surviving Gangs, Drugs and Prison - 102 Oct 01, 2018

Show notes

Paris Robinson survived drug addictions, being shot 4 times, became homeless and paralyzed. In this episode, Paris opens up about the failings of chasing material and outer things to fix inner happiness, going from football role models to gangster role models, heroine, crack, mushrooms and trying to find drugs of choice to try to fix life problems.

Paris also talks about how he found supportive people even behind bars, how he received messages from his dead mother that gave him hope to live, how he overcame what was medically impossible to find body movement again, how deciding to do that one thing you've never done might change your life, keeping to the present times so you don't fall back to your old ways, finding strength to stay focused and on track, and more.

Enjoy!

Barbell Shrugged — I Want Villians in CrossFit w/ Aaron Hinde — 342 Sep 29, 2018

Show notes

Aaron Hinde is Co-Founder and President of LIFEAID Beverage Company, a leading manufacturer of premium, healthy, and convenient nutritional products designed to boost performance and speed recovery for people pursuing active and healthy lifestyles.

Aaron's passion for athleticism and his ability to equip people with the formula to perform at maximum capacity has played a major role throughout my career. After earning a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College, he served as Clinic Director at Hinde Chiropractic Sports Injury and Pain Center for over ten years. As one of the top practices in Santa Cruz County, he helped over 5,000 individuals, including professional athletes, erase their pain and return to function as quickly as possible.

Being immersed in the health field, Aaron noticed a genuine need in the marketplace for clean and effective sports drinks without the sugar and artificial flavoring. In 2011, he co-founded LIFEAID to provide individuals with specially formulated, low-sugar, high-value natural supplement beverages.

In this episode, we talk about the future of Fitaid IPO, growing successful companies inside CrossFit, throwing the baddest CrossFit Games afterparty, steroids in the CrossFit Game season, managing the messaging between sport and health in CrossFit, and more.

Enjoy!

Building A Badass — Nascar - I Got Duped! — 5 Sep 28, 2018

Show notes

Hustling hard and taking only one day off per month, I had a full plate living out my dreams. I was invited to a NASCAR day in Charlotte, NC and reluctantly tried a new sport, pit crewing. After falling in love with hitting lug nuts, I figured out how to give this new passion a go, which juggled much more in my life than I anticipated.

In this episode of Building A Badass, I explain how I discovered NASCAR and the demands of a pit crew, the most unexpected sport. How I almost missed my chance, but instead learned the value of trying new things... Yet again. But this time I made history.

Stay Relentless,

- Christmas Abbott

Feed Me Fuel Me — Shrugged Collective w/ Doug Larson — 106 Sep 27, 2018

Show notes

To whom much is given, much is required. Or so they say. Doug Larson sees it a bit differently as he has been given much in the way of coaching and mentorship, so he has made it his mission to give as much, if not more, as he has received. Doug is the cofounder of Barbell Shrugged, one of the longest running podcasts in the fitness space and still going strong.

Doug has understood the value of coaching and mentorship since his adolescence, when his coach took him under his wing and introduced him to the world of strength and conditioning. He would go on to play football in college while building proficiency in mixed martial arts and jiu-jitsu. As his education flourished he followed his mentor to Memphis, Tennessee where he would attain his Masters in Movement Science and meet his eventual co-hosts and business partners Mike Bledsoe (@mike_bledsoe) and Chris Moore (@barbellbuddha). Together they would train together, run a gym, and start one of the most prolific fitness podcasts ever.

Join us this week as we dive deep into the journey of Doug's evolution from student, to teacher, to master. Find out why Doug has made it his mission to pass on as much knowledge, through as many mediums as possible (ebooks, seminars, podcasts, etc...), reciprocating all that he has been fortunate enough to receive. Doug truly is the embodiment of the abundance mentality and we can't wait to share his message with you this week on Feed Me Fuel Me!

Also, make sure to check out Doug's fresh new website - douglarsonfitness.com

Enjoy!
