Eric Byrnes is a force of energy that can't be stopped. We were able to talk in Tahoe about endurance, loss, and why he pushes his limits!

Dr. Don Vaughn sat down to talk about studies he has been involved in and how the brain reacts to different stimuli, like riding a motorcycle. We also brought sports and performance into the mix to help athletes of all backgrounds use their brain to perform better! Enjoy the show with our first neuroscientist guest!

Patrick Sweeney is a full time adventurer on a mission to help people around the world find their adventurer within and learn to use fear as fuel. We had a chance to sit down and talk all things adventure, fear, sport, and training. You'll have some great takeaways from his time as a world class rower and hopefully come away ready to conquer some of your own fears!

Amanda ran collegiately for a couple years and then got into road marathons. It wasn’t until 2014 that she started running trails! She figured it out pretty quickly and is now a professional running with the Altra elite team! Enjoy the show.

Kelly and Juliet Starrett are the power couple we had the chance to sit down with in Tahoe for another amazing interview. MobilityWOD is probably where you have heard of them as an industry leader in all things movement and mobility but they have a new mission to get people ready for life with The Ready State. We talk fitness, pain, movement for runners, eating disorders, and much more. Thanks to Spartan Media Fest and ATP Science for the chance to sit down with so many amazing people in Squaw Valley. Enjoy the show!

Spartan Trail and the Spartan World Championships were held in Tahoe and athletes from around the world gathered to compete and hang out for a couple of epic days in Squaw Valley.

Amelia Boone sat down with us on her actual birthday and talked about everything from having the tough conversations about body image and eating disorders to who in her life allows her to do these amazing things she does. She is always an interesting interview and we think you'll enjoy the new perspective from a great person and athlete!

Spartan Trail and the Spartan World Championships were held in Tahoe and athletes from around the world gathered to compete and hang out for a couple of epic days in Squaw Valley. Mike Wardian and Ian Sharman have more than left their mark on the running world with bio's that could fill a book or two. They are much more likely to be in Squaw for the start of Western States but toeing the line for the Spartan race was in the schedule this time around. We sat down after the active day of competition in the cabin with the fire burning and right after a game of chess between the two athletes to talk about the weekend and much more! Enjoy.

Richie Crowley is a former professional hockey player who has gone all in on his entrepreneurial goals. On the show today, we talk about what got him to where he is today and dive into the ride from Boston to Los Angeles he is undertaking and why! Enjoy the show.

Charlie Pappas is a regular, hard working guy who just happens to be a really good athlete. The problem is, he isn't regular at all. He has found his niche in the Train To Hunt competition and plans on defending his title with all his might this weekend at the National Championships in Colorado. We talk about his training over the last couple months. Mindset while competing. Why Grit is the single most important thing for him to compete at a high level. We also talk about the loss of two important family members in the last 10 months and how it has changed him. It's a great, real conversation we think you'll really enjoy.
