The Evolution of Flexibull: Authenticity, ATG, and Finding Soul Beyond Social Media


Listen Later

Today I sit down with Jeffrey “Flexibull” Wolf — a voice that’s shaped how strength, mobility, and authenticity show up in the fitness world.

Jeff takes us through the real evolution of Flexibull: from baseball to CrossFit, Gymnastic Bodies to ATG, building culture, walking away from a gym, burning out on social media, and finding himself again through jiu-jitsu, coaching, and family.

We go deep on:

  • Why culture beats algorithms

  • The dangers of the social media hamster wheel

  • Owning mistakes without losing your integrity

  • The balance between learning models vs. just doing the work

  • What training real humans teaches us more than any system

This one’s raw, unfiltered, and full of lessons for coaches, athletes, and anyone trying to keep their soul intact while chasing results.

Keep chopping wood.
