In this episode we hit A LOT of topics such as nutrition, lifting, recovery and addiction. Cristina is a spouse of a Law Enforcement Officer. She's a health and wellness coach, a recovery coach and the VP of Reps For Responders. In 2020, she founded a community for the partners of addiction called Relationships and Recovery, a space where they could connect with others who 'get it', seek support and ask for advice. She hosts weekly meetings and has a private Facebook group. Her favorite quote is "shame dies when stories are told in a safe space", and that is one of communities missions: to help people shed their shame and guilt around addiction and the roles they've managed to take on as a caregiver, and possibly even an enabler.  Through that, she expanded her community to offer health and wellness coaching to empower women impacted by substance abuse to prioritize themselves through selfcare and focusing on their wants and needs through goal setting and accountability. This episode takes us through Cristina's journey from her early high school days, her experience on the sports fields to weightlifting and how fitness has carried her through some of her most vulnerable and difficult moments in life, ultimately bring her to where she is now. Cristina talks about how she's grateful for some of her darker moments, for those are the ones that made her who she is today- compassionate, empathetic, and self-aware. She leads by examples and share that "someday you will tell your story about how you overcame what you are going through right now, and it will become part of someone else's survival guide". Thank you Cristina for your bravery, courage and honesty!

"Through eleven years on the BPD, and after working as a patrolman, a detective, a detective sergeant, a patrol sergeant, making all sorts of arrests, and dealing with all sorts of political intrigue within the department itself, I took stock of my life. It was clearly time to move on. I applied to, was selected by, and joined…the FBI.

After graduating from yet another law enforcement academy, this one in Quantico, Virginia, I found myself in early 1988 as a brand new FBI agent assigned to New York City. While there, I investigated bank robberies, kidnappings, extortions, and many other violent incidents which happened to have a federal crime nexus. I then learned of an opportunity for advancement within the FBI. One which I knew I could master and at which I would succeed; that is, as a criminal profiler. So, back to Quantico I went for my promotion, more training, and a new assignment.

From Unabom, to the Jon Benet Ramsey homicide, the DC Sniper case, the Anthrax investigation, a stint in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and many other notorious murder, rape, and terroristic matters in the 1990s and early 2000s, I played a role in all of them. Through the Unabom case, and later other notable investigations, not to mention two master’s degrees, I also became an expert in the area of forensic linguistics; that is, the scientific-oriented analysis of written and spoken language for investigative and evidentiary purposes."

James also wrote : A Journey to the Center of the Mind – Book I, A Journey to the Center of the Mind – Book II, A Journey to the Center of the Mind – Book III. 

Manhunt: Unabomber on Netflix is based on real-life FBI agent and criminal profiler Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald and the hunt for the Unabomber in the 1990s.

This episode was something that Frank and Jay NEEDED to hear. Heath did not hold back about his football career but even more important, his life experiences. Heath spoke volume about his struggles in life, his suffering, his successes and failures. Today Heath uses his life experience, skills, and knowledge to help men of all ages learn and grow together. In this episode a lot of suffering was spoken about but the thing about suffering is that it is needed in life to grow. Suffering is a PART of life. We are hoping this episode can aid some people in a dark time or prevent people from going into a dark time. This is a MUST listen episode. Thank you Heath!!!

"Heath Evans Is a former 10 year NFL Fullback and current TV Analyst for NFL NETWORK.

Evans played college ball in the SEC at Auburn University and was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft. During his career, Evans played for the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, and New Orleans Saints, the last of which he won Super Bowl 44 with.

Evans was the first fullback taken in the 2001 NFL draft when the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the third round (82nd overall). He spent four years with the Seahawks before a brief stent with the Miami Dolphins in 2005 . Soon after being released by the Dolphins, he was signed by the New England Patriots where he spent the following four years before joining the New Orleans Saints. It was with the Saints that he wrapped up the final two years of his long-lived NFL playing career.

Throughout Evans’ career he was a part of two different Super Bowl experiences. In 2007 at Super Bowl 42 he and his teammates tried to complete the perfect 19-0 season, but fell short to the New York Giants in a 17-14 loss. Two years later again, with the Saints he was part of bringing the city of New Orleans its first Lombardi trophy by beating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in the unforgettable Super Bowl 44.

Evans is known for his passion. Whether talking about his family, relationship with his daughters, making his opinion known on NFL Network, or attacking his daily fitness regime. He’s all in with a mindset and wants to dominate everything he sets his hands to do. He is goal oriented and set on using his athletic and television success to make a difference in people’s lives. Heath believes humility is the greatest asset a leader can posses, and that great leaders are created, not born. Wherein lies his passion to teach, instruct, and coach the next generation of young athletes so they can achieve their goals and experience true success."
