This week we are talking with lifelong athlete, ex-Navy, powerlifter, and all around awesome dude Dave Ruppert!

Dave is extremely dedicated to his health and exemplifies the power of consistency.  He has also led an incredible life through his time in the Navy which led him into body building and powerlifting.
In this episode, we chat about the time he played semi-pro football, his journey into powerlifting, his various injuries, why he has an awesome home gym and how he continues to show up to his health day after day.

Dave is really inspiring to me and I'm lucky to be able to call him a friend, a coworker, and a lifting buddy.  Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy!

Chelsea Jackson is an avid hiker and trail runner who works for the New Hampshire State Parks on the summit of Mt. Washington!

Mt. Washington is notorious for having the "world's worst weather" and consistently has days where windspeed is over 100 mph. The summers can have major temperature swings when storms blow in (or as Chelsea calls the storms..."Impending Doom") and the winters can be absolutely brutal with extremely low temperatures on top of crazy powerful winds.

Chelsea has a very unique experience of living and working on the summit through the busy summer season but also the isolated winter. In this episode we hear all about how she made a major life transition and took a major leap to pursue this job, what the day to day life of living in extreme weather is like, and how trail running led her to this adventure!

I hope you enjoy!!
