It warms my heart when I get the opportunity to host good solid people on the podcast and Nicole Franks is one of those people. She has a flourishing company that was born in the throws of the pandemic and is absolutely crushing it today. She has built a community around coffee (cold brew specifically). And the name Ripple Effect really says it all, the mission is to spread kindness.
Nicole is an athlete, entrepreneur, and someone that I am happy I get to call a friend. It was such a blast getting to know her better and hear her story and future goals. Check out the cold brew, you can taste the love and passion!

This is a unique episode for me because David and I get to to talk about his story of addiction and I get to relate and share some of my story as well. Dave has made it his mission to help addicts find hope post rehab. We also discuss what its like to be a coach some of the reasoning and purpose behind what I do as a coach and why I love it so much. We get to laugh at our experience in addiction, however, these are some of the most trying and scary times, but we chose not to let these times control us and keep us in fear. These times help shape who we are and we discuss that addicts in recovery are some of the most resourceful and in-tune people.

Such a treat to have longtime friend Jonathon Chapin on the podcast. Jonathon and I go all the back to when I was 15 and attending my first 12 step meeting. We became friends when I got my shit together in 2008. Since 2008 Chapin built a DJ/karaoke business and eventually opened his own venue to host bands and musicians. When COVID hit he left the bar business and started helping families and non-profits in town by providing meals. This Facebook startup cooking channel has become one of the hottest catering businesses in Reno. For mor info go to renorecipes.com
Chapins' journey shows that if you constantly put the work in, put people first and give a fuck anything is possible.
Trevors story is truly motivational, from his upbringing, to his weight-loss journey, and becoming a successful business owner. He is in his second year of business after opening Crossfit Fernley where he has a strong community of athletes who are more than athletes, they are people first. Trevor speaks to his mentality of when he makes a decision it is on which starts from his childhood and wanting to make a better life for himself and then using that mentality to lose over 100 pounds and becoming a crossfit athlete. His take on balance in his own life I believe is something we all should strive for. Hope you enjoy!

What a fun podcast with Quiana Welch! We cover so much in this podcast from weightlifting to lifestyle eating, what is means to be a social media influencer and even ASMR. It was a blast getting to know Q better and talk about our past interactions with Reps for Recovery and what it means to be a genuine influencer and not fake. Showing the real you is so powerful in this day and age when we are overwhelmed with fake influencers and not getting to know anyone on a real level and show people that change and healthy growth is possible. Q is a genuine person that is truly out there helping people become the best versions of themselves.

Get ready for a jam packed episode with Ly Smith! We dive into how Ly got started with coaching and some of her own personal battles. My favorite part about being a coach and meeting other coaches is talking about our different methods we use with clients and for our selves. Ly uses what she call's the CANDY Method which uncovers some of the limiting beliefs we have about self, shifting mindset and improving self talk. She also goes over her own three G's and I impress upon you to find your own three G's. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Some Highlights in the podcast.

Zach discusses a new program he is launching with Nutrition Coach Marci Zavala. I get a little personal with my history of addiction and how I handle my addictive personality today. This podcast is jam packed with good stuff.
Swolverine SupplementsTalking with Scott about starting his powerlifting journey and starting to workout in his 50's was a blast. Working out at 50 is not only a huge goal but it can set you on a whole new healthy lifestyle path. In this podcast we crush so many myths about fear and crushing goals in your 50's. There are so many lies that the media and influencers portray that we cover. Scott tells us about all the benefits he has experienced on his journey and how great your 50's can feel. He is so passionate about spreading the word to other "old guys" that it is never too late to start working out. I talk about mindset and how walking through the fear is the hardest part. The fear tells us starting is hard, you will get hurt, and you don't need it. Once you snub out the fear the sky is the limit.
