He is a personal trainer, nutritionist and a dad that has a lot of insights into the importance of fitness and fatherhood and how they work together.

Cody Lutz and I sit down in this episode to discuss all things fitness and fatherhood. He and I connected on LinkedIn and I was instantly intrigued by his business Backyard Shreds where he helps people build sheds in their backyard specifically made to be home gyms. We talk about how having a home gym while trying to be a present father and focus on your fitness is a game changer and he shares why he thinks having a shed is better than building your gym out in your garage.

Cody is also a fitness coach and has a cohort starting soon that he wants you to be a part of! If you're a dad that wants to get in shape in 2025 and would benefit from a group of likeminded people and an awesome coach to help you through the process and keep you accountable, make sure you reach out to Cody soon! He is running a great deal for Black Friday if you sign up soon!

Today's episode is a great one! In this episode I get the chance to talk to Mitch Mathews. Mitch has a rich history of fitness that included time playing D1 football at BYU and a couple of years in the NFL before transitioning into a full-time entrepreneur and business owner.

Trent Cox is an ultra-runner and a father of 4 who has been running really long races since he was 14 years old. He and I sat down to talk about how fitness has been a part of his life ever since he was a kid, how he was inspired and continues to be inspired by his own dad, how he balances really high mileage weeks all while being a full time orthodontist and present father. He has some great thoughts around why he does what he does even when it sucks. I hope that you're inspired to go do something hard after listening to this episode!

In today's episode, I chat with Alec Crestani. Alec and I were college roomates in 2016 and were so busy with school and work (he and I were at different schools) that we barely got to know each other! Over the years I have kept up with Alec via social media and watched him crush race after race on his road and mountain bikes. He is a father of 3 and had some awesome insight into how to make family and fitness work together. He is a great dad and a stellar athlete and it was fun to reconnect.
