This week we are joined by Dustin Diefenderfer, the CEO of Mountain Tough, who shares his journey from training a few people in a local park to developing a globally recognized fitness app tailored for outdoorsmen. Mountain Tough's training programs are designed for high-altitude hunting, its holistic approach encompassing physical, mental, spiritual, and nutritional training, and the importance of community and accountability in achieving fitness goals. 

We also discuss the deteriorating health of the American population, the role of nutrition, and potential policy changes by incoming health leaders like RFK.
