"True strength is about your ability to be courageous looking at yourself & to love in the moment." 

In this episode, I got to go deep with Brittany van Schravendjik who anyone in the kettlebell sport world knows by name because her resume of accomplishment is as distinguished as nearly any American lifter. But we didn't record this episode to focus on what she accomplished in kettlebell sport, but instead why she decided she had to STOP lifting and walk away from the thing she was most well known for. This was such an insightful and fun conversation about where the drive for achievement can come from, the double edged-sword of external validation, and the hard work of exploring the dark corners of our own psyches. I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode I dig into why I LOVE data so much, the differences between reliability and validity of wearable devices, quantitative versus qualitative data, and how we use data to inform our decision making on which levers to pull when in coaching situations. I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, I want to take some time to acknowledge some of the performances from last weekend's Riddlestruck Open and reflect on the lessons learned both from our athletes as well as my own performance. Every time we step on the platform and compete there are lessons to be learned from our successes and struggles, and taking time to capture them is important and valuable.

This week my baby girl turned 7 (WHAT!) so I took time off for her special day and did not record a new episode. Fortunately, my friend Brad Jensen (@thesoberbodybuilder) had me on his podcast The Key Nutrition Podcast a few weeks back to discuss kettlebell training so I wanted to share that with you all here. I hope you enjoy it!

We are BACK for Season 5! I took a short break for a pretty MASSIVE accomplishment for my wife passing the NCLEX to become a register nurse, and some family time around the 4th of July, but I'm back behind the microphone and still pushing forward.

In this installment of the kettlebell fat blast, I reflect on some pretty emotional feelings seeing a young boy who was already overweight and experiencing shame about his body, and just how unhealthy many people in our the US are now. I then dig into the importance of community and how it can help you achieve your goals. I created a Kettlebell Fat Blast Facebook group as a free resource for anyone who is interested, and I hope you'll join me there!
