Run a Profitable Gym

All the Cool Stuff Matt Chan Did After Not Dying in 2014


Listen Later

Matt Chan has done a lot of things.

He's taken second at the CrossFit Games, owned a gym, traveled the country in an Airstream trailer, survived a nearly deadly mountain-biking accident—oh, and that time he sharted 5 minutes before his heat at Regionals.

In this episode of Two-Brain Radio, Matt tells Sean Woodland all about those experiences and more, reflecting on his six-year CrossFit Games history, his programming company, Train for the Win, and how fitness enables him to experience life to the fullest.
