The Unbroken Podcast

In this episode of our podcast, we were honored to sit down with Heath Rust. Heath shared his insights into what it means to be a true leader in today's world. He emphasized that the heart of leadership lies not in authority or power, but in the genuine investment we make in those around us. By "pouring into people," as Heath so eloquently put it, we unlock the potential within others and foster environments where creativity, loyalty, and collective success flourish.

Heath's perspective on leadership urges us to look beyond the surface and see the immense value in nurturing relationships, building trust, and encouraging growth. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone aspiring to make a meaningful impact in their personal or professional communities.

Hey everyone! In this episode of the Unbroken Podcast, we're just hanging out with our buddy Josh Keatts. It's like sitting down with old friends and getting into everything that matters – like how important it is to have good people in your life and getting fit (without taking it too seriously). Josh even spills on why he can't keep his shoes on after hitting the gym. It's all laughs and real talk.

And hey, big shoutout to The Grill Guys back in Republic, Missouri. This place is like a treasure chest for anyone who's into BBQ. I swing by all the time to grab my go-to BBQ rubs and sauces. You've gotta check them out, either in person or hit up their website for some top-notch grill gear. They've got everything you need to get your grill on.

So, kick back, pop this episode on, and maybe get inspired to hit the gym (or just take your shoes off). It's all good here on the Unbroken Podcast.

In this episode of the Unbroken Podcast, we're kicking it with Derek Hauseman, and trust me, it's a blast. Derek's journey is nothing short of inspiring – from a kid who loved sports but didn't have much cash, to making his mark by walking onto the Mizzou Tigers football team. Yeah, we're talking big-league, D1 football action!

But Derek's story takes a turn when he shares his dive into the CrossFit world. It wasn't just about getting fit; it was a whole transformation. Derek opens up about his weight loss journey, shedding light on how crucial it was in reshaping his life, both physically and mentally. It's real talk about the ups and downs and how sticking with it can lead to some pretty amazing places.

And CrossFit? It became way more than just workouts. It's where Derek found his crew, where the guy who used to stick to himself with his headphones in became the life of the gym. It's also where he met the love of his life – talk about a win-win!

We're keeping things light and fun, too, with plenty of laughs and a good dose of dad jokes, courtesy of Derek. So if you're up for a story about sports, transformation, community, and a little romance, you're in the right spot. Grab your headphones (or don't, Derek might have something to say about that), and let's get into it with Derek Hauseman.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Unbroken Podcast! In this episode, we're hanging out with Anne Buchanan and her husband Tadd Buchanan, and let me tell you, it's one you don't want to miss. We kick things off with a chat about their son's awesome experience being part of his high school team's run to the state championship. It's all about the highs and lows, the teamwork, and the whole community getting behind them - really cool stuff.

Then, Anne gets real with us about her passion for helping others. She shares her journey from starting her own business with the aim to lift others up, to diving headfirst into her work with Convoy of Hope, a Christian nonprofit that's all about spreading hope and help worldwide. Anne's stories are not just inspiring; they're a call to action to make a difference wherever we can.

But that's not all. Anne also opens up about this women's group she's part of, which our own Melissa is a part of too. It's all about women supporting women, and the incredible things that can happen when we all come together.

Throughout the episode, Anne and Tadd drop some serious knowledge bombs, mixing in fun with some deep insights into life, giving back, and chasing what you're passionate about. This episode's got laughs, some touching moments, and a whole lot of inspiration. So tune in, get comfy, and let's dive into this amazing conversation with Anne and Tadd Buchanan.

In this inspiring episode of the Unbroken Podcast, we had the pleasure of welcoming Derek Dixon, a remarkable individual who made a significant life change during the pandemic. Originally from California, Derek made the bold decision to uproot his family and relocate to Missouri, seeking a fresh start.

Diving deep into his personal journey, Derek shares how he took a hard look at his life and realized the need for change. This realization led him to join CrossFit Republic, a community that not only welcomed him with open arms. At the same time he started the transformative 75 Hard program, created by Andy Frisella. Derek's dedication and hard work have paid off, as he has seen tremendous success with the program, both personally and in inspiring others to embark on their own journeys of self-improvement.

In this emotionally charged episode of the Unbroken Podcast, we delve into the life and trials of Josh Mattes, whose journey in fitness is as inspiring as it is heartrending. From a young age, fitness was Josh's armor against the hardships of a difficult childhood, a means to ensure he was never vulnerable to harm. This drive for physical strength carried him through an active adolescence filled with sports, into the rigors of college ball, where his relentless 'full send' approach to fitness often meant playing through pain, leading to a series of injuries. Undeterred, Josh's search for a competitive outlet led him to CrossFit, where he excelled, finding both the challenge and the community he craved.

Josh's story takes a dramatic turn as he recounts making it to the CrossFit Games with his team, only to suffer a freak accident that resulted in immediate surgery, rendering him and his team unable to compete due to a technicality that has since been revised. The episode poignantly captures the solidarity of the CrossFit community as they rallied in support of Josh and his team, a testament to the bonds formed in the face of shared struggles. Despite the heartbreaking outcome, Josh's resilience and the community's response highlight the indomitable spirit at the heart of CrossFit.

Join us for this unforgettable narrative of perseverance, community, and the harsh realities of competitive sports.
