  • Mary Brascia: Turning Pro, The Excitement of MLP, and Enjoying What You Do.
    Mary Brascia grew up in California and she began playing pickleball just a few years ago. Her parents introduced her to the game while she was a successful collegiate tennis player. After graduating from Biola University in May of last year, she focused fully on pro pickleball and made her mark right away. In her first 4 pro tournaments of 2022 she had 2 singles gold medals, 1 singles bronze medal, and a 1 silver medal in women’s doubles with her younger sister, Maggie. She was drafted and played in all 3 Major League Pickleball events of 2022 and now plays on the SoCal Hard Eights for the 2023 season.
    She is fast rising star on the PPA Tour in all three professional divisions. 
    In this episode Jamie and Mary talk about how she moved from high level tennis to pro pickleball player, her excitement around the Major League pickleball format for fans, how she is trying to balance her "addiction" to pickleball with other parts of her life, and the massive growth of the sport.

  • Brooke Ence: Redefining Success, Family First and Training Motivation (2022's Top Episode)
    This episode was first released in 2022 and proved to be the top episode with our community last year. 
    Brooke Ence is a fitness icon.  You probably know Brooke originally from her strong showing with two event wins and a Top 15 finish in the 2015 CrossFit Games.  She had an immediate rise to celebrity status as a Games athlete.  She has also had strong showings across regional and team events, but all that took a turn when she suffered a back/neck injury that resulted in surgery.
    Since then she has been a role model for redefining her own vision of success.  She has thrived in a number of areas like building and supporting multiple business from a skin care line for fitness-minded people,  a light-hearted podcast with her best friend, and a fitness program.  She is a major health and fitness influencer and has landed roles in big budget films like Wonder Woman and Justice League.
    In this episode host Jamie Allison and Brooke talk about the good and bad parts of her quick rise to celebrity in CrossFit, her drive to "do it all", her focus on spending time and being close to her family and friends and how she manages her multiple business and "whole life" interests.
