Athlete Stories

Ike is not only one of my best friends, but he's the Director of Leader Development at Booster Enterprise and the owner of We Inspire, a Leadership Coaching organization.

Over the past few years, Ike has helped me walked through some of my toughest challenges as a leader. We talk almost every day. But lately, our conversations have been a lot different. I've leaned on him more than ever to let me into his world as a black leader, so I can gain empathy and understanding around the Black Lives Matter movement and the inequality that we (white people) have somehow swept under the rug as leaders for so long.

I honestly wasn't even sure what to title this episode because it's so awesome and we talk about so many things.

Check out this episode with Jason McCarthy, CEO of GoRuck (seen in the Crossfit Games) about the origin story for GoRuck, how the military has shaped his views on navigating business, and so much more great conversation!

If you've seen anyone walking around your city with a backpack on with weights in it (possibly carrying an American flag), then you've seen a GoRuck.

GoRuck is creating community across the world, helping to create more awareness and empathy around the military experience, and is quickly becoming a strong partner in every fitness arena

I'm so stoked on this episode!

To others, Sal is the President of 1st Phorm, a dad, a husband, a friend, a leader, and a philanthropist. But he describes himself as a "regular dude who likes beer, working out and helping people". Sal has helped his brother (Andy Frisella) build one of the largest, but most importantly, most reputable brands in the fitness industry as well as the sports supplement industry - 1st Phorm. I've been wanting to do this interview since I started my company (Superfit Foods) and to be honest, we wouldn't be the brand we are without 1st Phorm paving the way.
