Two-Brain Radio: Covering the Sport of Fitness With the Buttery Bros

On this episode of Two-Brain Radio, Sean Woodland talks with Heber Cannon and Marston Sawyers, better known collectively as the Buttery Bros.

Heber and Martson have been involved in CrossFit and the Sport of Fitness for ten years, bringing you the action and taking you behind the scenes of the CrossFit Games, Regionals, Invitationals and more. They were instrumental in the creation of four of the top 100 best-selling documentaries on iTunes while they were working at CrossFit Inc.

Now, they're out on their own, creating more great content around the CrossFit Games season. They talk about how they got started making videos for CrossFit, the challenges they faced while creating their documentaries, some of their most memorable moments from the past 10 years—and how they turned Buttery Bros from dream to reality.
