This week we sat down and went through the five most commonly asked philosophical questions. As we both are highly contemplative individuals, these questions were not completely unfamiliar. The answers to these questions have change since last being asked for each of us. Tune in to find out what our answers and thoughts were! This episode will serve you well to re establish where you stand on questions around morality, religion, why we exist and more.

From high-level volleyball to coaching, teaching, and building brands like Hawley Trucker Hat Bar, Shyrah has lived in so many lanes and this conversation covers them all.

We talk training philosophy and what's changed over the years, the real day-to-day of being a high performer with Type 1 Diabetes, where women's fitness is actually headed (and where the noise is drowning out the signal), and how she's built a career across premium retail, entrepreneurship, and brand marketing without losing herself in the process.

Honest, energizing, and full of perspective. Listen now.

This week we sat down with Craig Reynolds, a man with an unreasonable number of job titles. World renowned drummer (Stray From The Path and beyond), host of The Downbeat, streetwear designer for his own brand of the same name, owner of StageFlight supplements, and now literally immortalized as a drum plugin with GetGood Drums’ One Kit Wonder.

We got into how he actually started drumming, the road to Stray From The Path, his relationship with fitness, and what it actually costs to be this relentlessly good at multiple things at once. Spoiler: it costs something.

Full of laughs, real wisdom, and a guy who somehow builds empires without losing the plot. Honored to get this one on tape.

Ronnie & Daniel

Steve Harlow is a father, coach, business man, and fellow coffee enthusiast. We got the opportunity to hear Harlow's story and the nitty gritty of changing between careers, serendipitous opportunities to further engage and establish the fitness community in Nashville, and eventually both roast and review coffee through his business, caffeinated and confident better known as CaffCon. We hope you enjoy our conversation and the insights gained as much as we did!
