Unplugged And Undeniable

My guest this week was Fireteam CEO, Make Pods Great Again Co-host and Crossfit reporter Niki Brazier. In terms of FUN, this was a stray away from the normal fitness/nutrition X's and O's you're used to hearing.

Niki was very transparent about who she is, her upbringing and on goings. We discuss starting a business during the pandemic. What goes on during the Crossfit Games from a sideline perspective, her broadcast start and how Crossfit changed her life.

Very fortunate to spend a lengthy period of time with Elijah Muhammad. Elijah is the pioneer for African American's in the Crossfit Industry. Currently, Muhammad is the owner of Unorthodox Fitness in Des Moines, Iowa.

Our discussion was very eclectic. Ranging from wild animals to coaching, his family and what his next steps are after Eric Rosa became the new CEO of Crossfit.

I sat down with Marcus Watson, owner of 57Fit in Minneapolis. I will go on record and say that this was the smoothest podcast to listen to of all 28 episodes. There is so much content to digest!

One year ago today was the "unofficial" lockdown due to the COVID-19 virus. We talk about how business has changed since then and what he is doing to keep business booming.

On top of this, we dive into Marcus' background, how he started out as a trainer, why burpees are overrated and lastly, how diversity is being approached in 2021.

Nik Reese joins this episode and we dive into a wide array of topics. From imposter syndrome to coaching photographers and teaching them the science behind nutrition, psychology and fitness.

Also, we take a look into the lens and confusion form a body image perspective. Why science isn't as sexy as social media ads? We tackle this topic and have fun in the beginning and end with coffee/West Coast hip hop!

A little throwback to 2015, Joey Custode is my guest today. Joey has a palms up, go get it attitude. He gives 100% in nearly everything that he does and it shows.

How he presents himself, walks his talk and serves SO many individuals on a daily basis. Also, which one of us predicted the Super Bowl correctly!?
