 Hi, Joe Cadwell here, the host of Grit Nation

February may be short on days but it’s big on exciting news and content for the show. 

For example, my interview with New York Times contributor and bestselling author Eyal Press is going to drop on the Monday the 7th. 

Eyal's latest book titled, Dirty Work - Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America, investigates the lives of people who find themselves performing morally questionable work just to make ends meet. 

From military drone pilots carrying out lethal airstrikes, to workers on the kill floors of industrial slaughterhouses, Eyal turns an unflinching eye toward the dark work being carried out by unconscious societal mandates.

It’s a power episode for sure and to help promote it I will be giving away a limited edition, made in the USA, “I’ve Got Grit” hoodie. 

This giveaway runs till the end of the month so be sure to get your entry in by visiting  http://www.gritnationpodcast.com

Later in the month, I speak with Dan Kerrigan, author of Firefighter Functional Fitness.

Dan and I discuss the importance of fitness no matter what your trade is, and he shares important tips on how you can make sure that your body will meet the rigorous demands of a building trades professional right now and into the later stages of your career.

Dan will share what he calls the four pillars of fitness that make up the core of his program, before we dive into the Big 8 that include muscular endurance, cardio training, and flexibility. So, if you rely on your physicality every day to get the job done, be sure to check this episode out. 

And finally, in case you missed it earlier, Grit Nation now has an official website.
