025 TRAVIS MAYER - 7x CrossFit Games Athlete


Listen Later

Travis is a 7x CrossFit Games Competitor, who finished in 12th place at this past year's Games, just two spots back from his personal best finish of 10th back in 2016. Travis isn't just a professional athlete, but also a devoted husband and father and successful business owner as well. Travis squeezes the most out of every part of his life and is a master of managing his time with a blend of intense, focused effort mixed with just the right amount of adaptability to handle the curveballs thrown his way as a father to 4 kids under the age of 6. He's a fierce competitor,  a great leader, and an all around fun dude to chat with but above it all, he's an incredible man, husband, and father, and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity host him on the show.
