The Platform Podcast

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!

Welcome back into the Platform Podcast, now being livestreamed on Facebook in my Kettlebell Fat Blast Facebook group which I created as a free resource for anyone who is interested. 

In this episode, I dig into the moment so many of us have had; You take a deep breath, close your eyes, get on the scale, exhale and open your eyes, look down to see...You gained a pound. WTF!?!? The Actual FUCK!?! If you can relate, this episode is one for you. I dive in on the emotional response to the scale, why I have one and how I go about managing it and working to improve it.

As we continue diving in on the levers of transformation, sleep is one of the longest levers we have to pull on as it is fundamental to so many aspects of our health and well being. This week I bring Nick Riell, a nutrition coach who is an expert in helping people restore their sleep.

Welcome back into the Platform Podcast, now being livestreamed on Facebook in my Kettlebell Fat Blast Facebook group which I created as a free resource for anyone who is interested. In this episode, I dig into the triangle of awareness and how periodization is the key to achieving all of your health & fitness goals (and maybe beyond that!). I dive in more specifically on nutrition periodization and how I apply it with my athletes.

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!

This week my guest is Nathan Cambron (@cambroncustoms), and I think he would say he falls in the "real people" category as he is a welder and metal fabricator by trade and training who happened to pick up kettlebell sport as his primary training modality in the past year and plans on competing for the first time here in the Twin Cities in October. In this episode, we get into his background as a welder, some of the cool things he is making, how he started training kettlebell sport, and a VERY cool announcement towards the end of the interview :)

This is the 50TH EPISODE of the Platform Podcast, and I am so grateful to have made it this far. In this fourth installment of the kettlebell fat blast bonus episodes about my own journey to get in the best shape of my life, I dig into the conundrum of balancing aggressive behaviors you can only be consistent with for short periods with the long term needs of sustainability. This is particularly interesting for me as I reflect on what stressors and history I came into this year with and how that has affected my progress thus far this year.

In a staggering display of self indulgence, I agreed to let Matt Borris interview me for the podcast and release it the day before my 38th birthday. We follow the general format listeners are familiar with and dig in deeper on my background, how I got in to kettlebell sport, and have a lot of fun along the way. I am genuinely appreciative and humbled that people in the audience have asked to hear my own backstory in greater detail, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed the chat!

My guest this week is Matt Borris (@dasmatts04), a Canadian kettlebell sport lifter. We discuss his athletic background and the injury history that came with it, some of the unique challenges of being a very tall lifter in kettlebell sport, and the many aspects of community that make the sport great. Enjoy!
