Jimi Letchford joins Sean and Nathan on the Cult of Recreationalism! Jimi is the President of GoRuck. Before that he worked for CrossFit and served as a Marine. He recounts stories of training Marines and leading soldiers into combat. We talked about all kinds of stuff from Blink-182 vs. Pantera, wrestling at the Naval Academy and how those skills transfer to both CrossFit and Jiu-jitsu, his post-military career, Hero Workouts and the purpose they serve, and of course we finish with some rapid fire questions. Jimi and Sean go way back, make sure to give it a listen and leave us a review!
