Joined by amazing guests Matt Chan, John Wooley, and Toussaint Romain, we discuss why de-affiliating from CrossFit was necessary to remain in line with our missions statement and how the small, white Boone community should use our platforms to strive to be the vehicle for significant positive change with social injustice and the degradation of women.

I’m joined by US Navy Lt Commander David Cuthbert to discuss “sacrifice” as it applies to Memorial Day, to our ability to perform the commemorative “Murph” hero WOD as usual, and the strange context of this holiday during COVID19

I had the opportunity to enjoy interviewing Joe Tebaldi of FLEXX about his online STUDIO that he created in the mist of the Coronavirus pandemic. We talk about how it helped in the immediate, how it will help in the initial steps upon reentry, and about the possibilities moving forward.

I’m joined by Todd Hendley, Managing Partner of Ransom Pub & Venue for the final podcast installment of the “Row To Where You Miss” campaign. We talk about Ransom’s pivot to serve the service industry workers and community. We also talk about how the rowing campaign will continue informally as Shelter-In-Place is extended.

Continuing with our transition into Phase 4 (and a hopeful return soon to the gym), this is the second week of the “Row Where You Miss” campaign. And Ben Harmon, owner of Clean Eatz, joins us on the episode as this week’s rowing partner.

Continuing with the athlete’s focal hierarchy, we define pain and propose a scenario where it occurs as a result of compensation for weakness, imbalances, and/or poor mobility. Dr Ben Parker offers insight as an athlete and Orthopedic Surgeon.

We roll out our transition to Phase 4 of the Coronavirus Outbreak response as a business. In doing so, we’re launching a campaign with local restaurants and support of the Boone Chamber of Commerce. And we have a special guest, Joseph Miller of COBO Sushi, to help us kick it off!

With COVID19 time on our hands, let’s begin to educate and reshape the hierarchy of focus we - as athletes - put on our bodies in a given day. Coach Michelle calls in to give perspective on Recovery as we make our first installment of flipping the pyramid on its head.

I quickly touch on how we altered our services when the doors closed, and then I spend some time talking about what we’re doing beyond WODs. Coach Beth gives some insight into the importance of schedules and talks about the FREE resource she’s providing to parents during these tough times. I wrap up with a glimpse into what’s to come in the next several days.

I touch on the why for electing to close after being so dead set on not. Then I outline our planned response, a note about the WODs, and talk about equipment rental. It concludes with a reminder to stay interactive.
