True North Podcast with Jaime McCafferty

On this podcast, I had the awesome opportunity to speak with Australian David Lindsay. He speaks about his acronym SNAP for boosting performance in the work place, failing forward, how we need problems and feedback, and dealing with energy vampires (I love this term...). We bounce this back to the tie we see between athletics and productivity in our daily jobs.

David speaks from experience as a personal trainer and a professional speaker. He has extensive training in the Martial Arts... a black belt in Wing Chun, a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, trained in submission wrestling and has had several MMA Cage Fights. He has also trained as a Professional Arm Wrestler!

Kevin Morley is one of my closest friends, and I'm excited to exploit the knowledge he possesses in the CBD space. He is currently the head athletic trainer in the NHL for the Nashville Predators.

If you've had questions regarding how to best use CBD in sport or about cannibis in general, I believe you will learn a ton from this episode. I certainly did.

You can connect with Kevin through me or on his LinkedIn profile.

Joe Booher is a black belt in Gracie JiuJitsu, is an instructor and owner of Total Self Defense Academy in Kingsport, Tennessee. He is also a professional musician as a mandolinist for the Tim Shelton Syndicate and devoted father to two girls.

Joe and I discuss the principles of JiuJitsu. He also gets vulnerable with the struggle he had to curate balance in his life as a father, musician and his obsession with training. His battle for balance included divorce and depression, and he shares some lessons he has learned to put him in the position he now enjoys in life.

This episode centers around Human Growth Hormone (HGH), what it is, what it does, and how it naturally occurs in the body.  HGH is the master hormone for both men and women, and Dustin Baker, the president of BioProtein Technology discusses the ins and outs.  He is the creator of BioPro+, the first 100% nonsynthetic alternative to prescription HGH treatment.  

This is an important episode for anyone looking to optimize performance and being the best version of yourself.

This episode challenges the R.I.C.E (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) protocol.  Notoriously used within athletic training rooms, physical therapy clinics, and hospitals for decades, Gary Reinl uses physiology and logic to create a shift in thinking for practitioners and lay people alike.

Gary has been deeply involved with sports medicine for the last 50 years, and his book "De-Iced: The Illusionary Treatment Option" has sparked a revolution within the sports medicine community and how we think about administering ice and the RICE protocol to injuries.

We get into some grit I briefly considered editing out... but that didn't quite line up with the topic.  As a result, you'll now know some parts of me that most people don't see or know. 

Breian is a beautiful mind you come across scarcely in a lifetime.  She is a person you instantly respect, value her perspective, and if you're lucky to be in the same room with her, you'll 100% understand what I mean.  I'm blessed to call her friend.

Breian...thank you.  This is my most vulnerable episode to date.  You helped walk me through some issues in my own life, and I'm grateful for your wisdom.  Any time you want to sit down with a microphone between us (or a dessert), I'm in.

The Chimp Paradox- By Dr Steve Peters

Sam Rogers, co-owner of Heat Praxia (Coeur D'Alene, Idaho) and beach volleyball legend in the state of Montana, talks about the benefits of sauna and cold plunge practices.  He shares of his experience in the sauna business along with research topics that should be of interest to the active community and to people with chronic health issues.  These two modalities have gotten a lot of attention and traction in the last handful of years, so this was a conversation I greatly enjoyed.

I apologize for a few of the glitches that occur at the beginning of the podcast and a few spots within the recording.  Sam and I had a heck of a time solidifying a good connection, however, 99% of the recording is just fine.
