  • #217: Dave Colina Part 2
    On Episode 217 I sit down with Dave Colina. Dave is someone who has become a close friend of mine. Dave is the Founder of O2 Recovery Drink, a member of CrossFit Roots, he's on the Board of Directors for The Big Fish Foundation, and teaches a class at CU-Boulder. And that is just beginning to scratch the surface of what Dave does and who he is as a person. Dave is a stand-up guy and someone that I am very thankful to have in my life.
    Thank you all for listening and I hope you enjoy the show!

  • #216: Scott Graham on the Schlitz Quartz, Evolving Your Purpose, and Having Fun
    On Episode 216 I sit down with Scott Graham. Scott is a friend of mine from CrossFit Roots and you might recall my previous episode(#208) with his wife, Blakely Graham. If you enjoyed that conversation then you will most definitely enjoy my conversation with her other half.
    Scott grew up in Texas but is not your stereotypical, "Howdy Ya'll, Texas Vs. Everybody" type of Texas guy. Scott was the President of the Juggling Club at UT-Austin and was also in a band called the Schlitz Quartz which only sang songs about beer. Scott worked at IBM for 25 years and is now semi-retired and searching for his next move. Scott joined CrossFit Roots in 2009 after being adamant about not joining "the cult". The rest is history. This conversation was a whole lot of fun and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did!
    Thank you for listening!

  • #215: Julia Ralston on CrossFit, Body Image, and Instagram Filters
    On Episode 215 I sit down with Julia Ralston. Julia is a friend of mine from CrossFit Roots and you may recall her husband Nick from Episode 205.
    Julia is from Santa Cruz, CA., and she and I debate if that is actually northern or mid-California. She went to Boston College where she majored in communications with a focus on magazine journalism. We also talk about her time working for FaceBook and Google, all of the group fitness classes that she's taken throughout her life, and how she finally got into CrossFit, Instagram Filters and how to use them, and so much more!
    Thank you all for listening and I hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

  • #214: Lukas Augenstein on Cooking, Finding CrossFit, and The Intramural Open
    On Episode 214 I sit down with Lukas Augenstein. Lukas is a friend of mine from CrossFit Roots who I have gotten to know better over the last year or so since he joined the gym.
    Lukas is a chef who works at an outdoor education facility in the mountains and has also worked in restaurants all around the world. Lukas was also named a captain for the 2023 CrossFit Roots Intramural Open. When he's not cooking or doing CrossFit he always has to be moving because he has a hard time sitting still. That will become obvious to everyone listening fairly quickly during this episode.
    Thank you all for listening and I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

    On this episode, we talk about Megan growing up in New Jersey, gymnastics, pole vaulting, distance running, and how all of that eventually led her to CrossFit. We also talk about her journey from Investment Banking to Nike to where she is today at CrossFit HQ.
    This was a very fun conversation and one that I hope you all enjoy as much as I did!

  • #210: Doug Gilkey on AeroSpace Engineering, CrossFit, and Enjoying The Moment
    On Episode 210 I sit down with Doug Gilkey. Doug is a member at CrossFit Roots and someone that I have gotten to know pretty well during my time here.
    Doug is an AeroSpace Engineer who now works in sales. He's been doing CrossFit for 12 years now and before that was doing long Mountain and Road biking races along with some running.
    Doug has a very cool and interesting perspective on life and, more specifically, slowing down and enjoying every single day that you have.
    I had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and I hope that you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
    Thank you for listening!
