S.A.N.E

Bobby Stroupe: CEO/Founder of APEC Training, former Professional Athlete (Arena Football CB/WR), Speaker, Leader, Coach and Entrepreneur, joined me on this episode to talk about his company APEC and how it became what it is today working with thousands of atheltes from the elementary/middle school ages all the way up to professional athletes! Bobby gives great insight on some of the hurdles that he went through in developing this company and having such a specific niche to fill, also how those specificities somewhat happened accidentally. We also talk about the obvious, Patrick Mahomes, and how Bobby saw greatness in him at such an early age, and dive into some of my hometown White Sox that he works with as well! We finish with some IG questions for some fun. This has gems in it for anyone running a training business whether it is new or a veteran place. Enjoy this one!

"Let Your Game Speak" is the motto of this episode with Dr Jen Welter, known mostly as the first female to coach in the NFL. Dr Welter not only reached the pinnacle of football being in the NFL but also holds a PHD in psychology and a Master's in sports psychology, as well as being an author and speaker. We got to talk about her story of getting to the NFL and having success, being a trailblazer not only for women but for anyone who sees something they want, to go out and get it. Dr Welter also answers some fan questions and gives us her message to the world, "Let Your Game Speak" in all aspects of life. Enjoy!

This week on S.A.N.E, I sit down with 2x SuperBowl Champion and former Pittsburgh Steeler, Bryant McFadden. Bryant is currently a CBS analyst for the NFL as well as the co-host of All Things Covered podcast with Patrick Peterson. We discuss his football career in both college at FSU and in the NFL, but spend most of the show talking about areas outside of football including: Bryant's media career, mental health in sports and more. Give a listen, and hear from a former NFL champion on how to prepare for life after football.

Yes THE Massenomics, so you know when two shows about nothing collide, it just absolutely sucks! But hey, we suck so that you don't have to. Tanner was awesome and it was cool to hear the story of Massenomics as a brand not just the podcast or apparel side indivdually, the boys have been at this for 5 years so let's just say this is royalty here folks, the Sultan of Western North East South Dakota was here! Thanks big T, let's do it again soon!

Angelo Fortino, the host of 2 White Lights, joined me on the show to talk about the sport of powerlifting ad its continued quest for legitimacy and exposure. We also dive into some talks on PEDs in sports, as he and I have different opinions it was great to have a back and forth and understand each other's side. Lastly, food, and being Italian because why the fuck not!?

The owners of Surge To New Levels gym, Jackie & Sergio Luna, joined me to talk about their journey as gym owners from the start of their facility in a 2500sq ft facility to now having 12,000sq feet of strength sports heaven. We talk about them running competitions, expanding to new areas of fitness and the monetization/production value increase in strength sports over the last handful of years. Serge and Jackie are great examples of what it takes to be successful gym owners, and soon to be new parents!

Dr Will (DPT) was kind enough to sit for a chat on the world of rehab and physiotherapy! She comes to the show from Impact PT where she works with a wide array of clientele from the general population all the way to professional athletes. Talking with her about young women being in the field was a really cool part of our chat as well as some IG questions that were submitted! Give a listen.

This was a great sit down with T, a VERY well rounded coach/trainer for anyone of any level of fitness. We discuss how we evaluate clients, training methodologies and opinions on the industry. Some other topics we get into are: should someone take gear or no? And if yes, what? And lastly, THC as a supplement. Taylor and I will be doing a monthly roundtable on subjects like this!
