Keeper of the Gainz

Lisa Perkins and I talk about her coaching practice. Usually, Lisa and I talk about nutrition. Instead of talking about what to eat, which most of us already know deep down what's healthy and what is not, we talk about how to actually make it happen. We discuss the importance of self-love, creating healthy habits, and starting the journey.
(We did only have one microphone working, my apologies if the sound quality is a little off.)

Matt Lillie is the founder of Opti-Life here in Wichita. We talk about his journey of becoming a successful entrepreneur with multiple businesses.

Anas Mohammed is an IFBB Pro. He has a unique story about how he accomplished getting his Pro Card in bodybuilding as a non-U.S. Citizen.

I was truly inspired chatting with Nick Taylor. His accomplishments include...

Nikita is a local Strongman competitor. We talk about her unique transformation from average CrossFitter to World Class Strongman extraordinaire. She has competed for Team USA 3x in a row at the Arnold Strongman Classic World Series. We dive into lots of topics including overcoming fear & social constructs, as well as what it's like competing as a female in a male dominated sport.

Dr. Rogers is the Graduate Coordinator for Exercise Science at WSU, as well as the professor of Exercise Physiology. We talked about his journey to become a professor, his work with Air Force Pilots & G-Force resistance training, how the peer reviewed process works, fad diets, where fat goes, and of course his National Home Brewers Association award winning White IPA. This podcast did have a few more cuts than normal, but it is packed with great information from a man with decades of experience in the Exercise Science field.

Dillon Youngman is the 2018 Fittest Man in Kansas, 2017 & 2018 Central Regional Competitor, CrossFit Coach, and former owner of CrossFit Middle of the Map. On this episode, we talk about Dillon's experiences as a top tier athlete, his programming and nutrition, his views of the changing CrossFit qualifying structure to get to the Games, and his views of owning a CrossFit box.

Allen Wasinger is the Head Coach and Owner of CrossFit Compelled. We talk about how he found CrossFit, became a coach/owner, and his competitive side as an athlete in the master's division (ages 35-39).

In our first episode, my wife and I have a quick introduction on what to expect from our Keeper of the Gainz podcast.
