Revealing Strength Podcast

In Episode 8, we continue on where we left off in Episode 7 with a story that truly shows the intersection of love, business, resilience, fight, & family.

We are back with Jason Rule, owner of Driven Nutrition--one of the foremost nutritional supplement companies supporting CrossFit affiliated gyms, as he shares the next stage of the incredible birth and infancy story of his youngest son, Lakin.

We start out this second chapter discussing the role of action over excuse in business, in training, and in life.

We then turn the mic to Jason as he updates us on this journey of love and strength as his young, two-week-old Lakin endures treatment after treatment, surgery and procedure after procedure, and how the family exists in a "cloud" during the first year of Lakin's life. In this first year, Jason shares how Driven Nutrition was put into action in hospital rooms, swim practice bleachers, and through deliberate & daily action in the toughest of times for a father-business owner.

Revealing Strength has been all but absent of late. So we decided its time for a pulse check, and its time to come back better than ever!

In Episode 7, we take a moment of pause from discussing our usual training, competing, and physical culture in order to look at strength in a whole new light.

We look at the strength of the human heart, both literally and figuratively.

Jason Rule, owner of Driven Nutrition--one of the foremost nutritional supplement companies supporting CrossFit affiliated gyms, opens his heart to tell us and our listeners a story that few have heard: Lakin's story.

In this first installment of a three-part story, strength is revealed in the love and strength of a mother willing to undergo indescribable pain for unconditional love. Strength is revealed in a father who doesn't know if his wife or unborn child will survive. Strength is revealed in parents who survive 10 minutes at a time as they sit with a newborn preparing for open heart surgery. Strength is revealed as Jason takes gratitude for life from his newborn son's challenges and channels them into building a brand that supports the health and well-being of Affiliate communities.
