Luke Smith is a man chasing the best version of himself. He is a former Army Ranger, but that is only part of his story. He never wanted to be the man that says, “I use to be…” He wants to love each day as he pursues that next mountain peak. Some days he win; and others he does not. However, he believes it is all about consistently pursuing his goals, one day at a time. He's confident that those incremental gains will get him to where he wants to be. I know this conversation with a real American hero and masculine warrior will inspire men to own their masculinity and use it in service of those in need.

I met Derrick several moons ago when he was down in New Orleans. He was featured in the media for having a morning grew of sprinters that ran the Superdome ramps...having bear crawled those during a GoRuck Challenge, I can't imagine running up them over and over. But he did it anyway. And let many others in a health and fitness routine that impacted may lives. Fast-forward to today, Derrick is back to talk about a part of his journey I believe we can all connect with...the pandemic. During that time, he suffered some setbacks in health and fitness; and he reached a point where he chose to make a change. And he successfully did. It was an overnight transformation. It took time, patience, and perseverance to return to the spirit of the man he knew he could once again become. You can follow his story on Instagram: @Derrick_NoLa
