The Nomad Strength Show

In this episode, I chat with guest Jeff Hairston about our shared various passions, including jiu-jitsu, archery, strength training, and fatherhood, so you can imagine we have a lot to talk about. We take a deep dive into Jeff's experiences with Starting Strength, his data tracking methods for improvement, and his recovery from back surgery. He also shares his personal jiu-jitsu approach, the role of age and athleticism, the importance of minor changes, his transition from competition to coaching, and his approach to archery and finding focus under pressure.

This episode wouldn't be possible without the generous support from our sponsors, Steady Grounds Coffee Company and Selway Archery.

Today on the show I'm joined by former Navy SEAL, professional skydiver and BASE jumper, big game hunter and guide, and a million other awesome things, Trevor Thompson.

There's a certain mindset you have to have in order to chase all of the adventures I just listed, and in this conversation we dive into what drives someone to do just that.
