The Nomad Strength Show

We've reached episode 50 of the podcast! And for this milestone I couldn't have picked anyone better to have a conversation with than Bert Sorin.

Bert and his wonderful wife Lesley are the proud parents of three children. Bert and his family, a family rooted in strength, have been entrenched in the human performance world for as far back as he can remember.

Growing up with a barbell in his hand has been pivotal in charting the course of his life and leading him to become a 4-time Division 1 All-American Track and Field (Hammer and 35 lb. Weight Throw), Southeastern Conference Champion, former record holder in Weight Throw, and an Olympic trials athlete.

Bert is currently the President and Co-Owner of Sorinex Exercise Equipment, a very successful family run business founded by his father, another big name in the iron game, Richard Sorin. Together they are the inventors of hardware and applications to make people more effective, efficient, and safe on the sports field and the battle field.

Although Sorin never served in the armed forces, his gear is changing the game to provide readiness and rebuilding to the veterans prior to, during and after their deployments to far off, hostile lands. Bert’s network of veterans, scientists, coaches and therapists allows for a combination of expertise and support, and has been changing lives on both sides of the table.

Bert pushes each day to find the best in people, and to assist in their exploration of their potential and maximize their value to the cause.

Enjoy!

Today's episode was one of my favorite that I've recorded since starting the podcast, mainly because this one was in person!

Austin Legg joins me today on the show to talk about some great lessons and motivation from his time spent hunting in the deep backcountry, usually alone.

Austin came out to the patio gym to get a true Nomad experience, Ice bath in the freezer followed by a kettlebell and sandbag training session prior to us hitting record.

This was a really fun episode and there are some gold nuggets in this one, including;

-How Austin became comfortable in the wilderness alone

-His hard-learned lessons of being a self-taught hunter

-The joys of chasing Bigfoot

-One of the craziest and coolest hunting stories you'll hear

 

Plus a ton more of great, motivational things to take away. Follow Austin's backcountry journeys and Bigfoot ramblings on Instagram and enjoy the episode!

For today's solo show we are hopping off the health and fitness train.

 

I often get asked for all kinds of Top 3 and Top 5 lists for random things so I thought today would be a fun day to get people all riled up.

 

We're going Top 3 Super Heroes and Villains, so I'm sure I'll get all kinds of messages about who I left off both lists and why my lists suck.

 

I welcome it.

 

Enjoy!

Today I'm joined by Spencer Clanin, otherwise known as GrizzlyClaws on Instagram.

This was such a fascinating and enlightening conversation as Spencer has a really cool story about the healing power of the food we eat when we are connected to in on a deep level.

Spencer has overcome several significant health issues by addressing and correcting his nutrition, and the way that he writes about it (not to mention the pictures he takes of his food) will have your mouth watering like you wouldn't belive.

He gives some great advice in this episode with some great takeaways for anyone looking to heal themselves with their nutrition.

Follow Spencer, and enjoy the episode!

We're mixing it up today for the solo episode!

I've been going back to a couple of my favorite writings and quotes lately, so I wanted to share them with you today.

Instead of giving a big exposition on each of them, I just decided to read them for you, so they can hit you however they need to.

Let me know what you think of the two selections I made and what your favorites are.

Enjoy!
