In this episode, I take a moment to express my gratitude to the people who have shaped my life, both in and out of the gym. From my high school teacher, Mr. Allen, to my time in the Marine Corps, and through my journey in strength and conditioning, I’ve been fortunate to learn from some of the best minds in fitness, coaching, and life.

I share stories of mentors, coaches, and fellow gym owners who have influenced the way I train, coach, and think. From early CrossFit pioneers to legendary weightlifting minds like Mark Rippetoe, Donny Shankle, and Dane Miller, this episode is a tribute to those who have helped me grow.

Join me as I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned, the people who have made an impact, and why none of us achieve success alone.
