Today on the show I'm joined by Nick Norris. Nick is a graduate of both the United States Naval Academy and Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL (BUD/S) Class 247. Upon completion of SEAL training in 2004, Nick assumed progressively higher positions of leadership within Naval Special Warfare. His deployed roles included combat advisor to Iraqi and Afghan military units, Cross Functional Team Leader, and Ground Force Commander during combat operation in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

He is a Board Member of @veteransolutions, a non profit focused on ending the veteran suicide epidemic via resources, research, and advocacy related to psychedelic assisted therapy. Nick is also the Co-Founder and CEO of @protektproducts, a wellness company that is committed to positively impacting customer health via both personal care products and nutritional supplements. Both Protekt and VETS value the power of time spent in the outdoors and the positive impact it has on overall well-being.

Nick and I had a great conversation about his transition out of the military and the things he found helpful in improving his mental health. We also talked about the creation of Protekt and what makes the company and their products so unique.

Enjoy this one!

Today's episode is a one you are going to need a pen and pad for some vigorous note taking. In health and fitness there are many things on the fringe that are considered too "out there" for the mainstream Strength and Conditioning world. If you've listened to this podcast before, its not a surprise that that is exactly what attracted me to my guest today, Cory Bell.

Cory has worked in several S&C programs at various levels, and is now the head strength coach at his alma matter, West Orange-Stark in Texas.

In today's episode we are diving deep into the world of frequencies, and not the amount of times you train in a week, but actual audio frequencies and the effect they have on your body for training, recovery, healing, and a host of other things.

This is an ancient practice and Cory is working to bring it to performance and athletics and has had some pretty amazing results. This was such a fun conversation and I really enjoyed going down some fun rabbit holes.

Enjoy this one!

HIGHLIGHTS:

-Explaining the Solfeggio Scale

-What he has seen with his athletes on the protocol

-How each frequency is meant for something specific

-Cory's protocol recommendations

Today we've got a very special episode of the show.

I'm joined by Chad Conley, Green Beret and the founder of 50 for the Fallen. Chad and I recorded this episode live on Memorial Day fresh off the conclusion of this year's event in Washington D.C.

Today I had the absolute pleasure of being joined by friend and 'hermano', Michael "Rod" Rodriguez. Rod and I met a few months back and were told we needed to talk to each other by a mutual friend. I was really looking forward to digging into his background more when we set up this podcast, and I know you are going to love his story and inspiration.

Rod is the President and CEO of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation. Rod joined the U.S. Army in 1992 and attended the Special Forces Assessment and Selection course to become a Green Beret in 1997. In 2013, he was medically retired due to numerous combat injuries. His last assignment as a Green Beret came as a Sniper Instructor assigned to the JFK Special Warfare Center (Range 37) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He has deployed ten times in service to our nation.

If you want to help the cause and get this memorial built, a memorial that Rod describes as, "one unlike any other memorial," you can CLICK HERE and see how you can help.

Enjoy this one!

HIGHLIGHTS:

-Rod tells the story of his family's service history and how that led him to joining the military

-Stories from his military career Pre and Post 9/11

-Being a father of a solider

-Rod's beliefs on the word 'service' and how its often misunderstood

In a bit of a different take on the solo show, I'm giving you all a rundown of a product I really enjoy and am using now with the men in the coaching group.

The product is the Effic planner, and it has helped me stay organized and move toward my goals more efficiently.

I'm not affiliated with Effic in any way, and am receiving no kickbacks or anything, its just a product I believe in.
