Join me in this weeks episode as I sit down with Nate Palin, a former Army Ranger turned human performance professional. Nate and I dive into the concept of the number one SOF truth "humans are more important than hardware." We explore the significance of treating people as humans first and foremost, but also training them in that way as well -- with a conversation around preparing individuals for high stress environments.

In this episode, we're continuing the conversation around my favorite uncomfortable topic... mental health! Brad talks about his transition out of the Army to being a strength coach. He goes on to talk about the impact that had on his mental health and some things he personally struggled with. We finish up talking about how close friends and family were a huge help to him as well as the great outdoors.

In today's episode, my guest is Coach Dave Terry. Dave has been a strength and conditioning coach for over 10 years now and has learned how to apply things learned in the weight room to all aspects of life. We get into why Dave got into coaching and how coaching has helped him find a sense of community. We also dive into the importance of being vulnerable as a male and the role a good community has in being able to be open and honest and let your guard down - and the positive impact this has on mental health.

In this episode, Joel and I are stepping on toes here! We talk about training for the backcountry and what makes a good training program. We also talk about scalability for your workouts and what important strength qualities are. Lastly, we dive into general health and how simply moving your body and getting outside can be great for you.

Welcome to the Wild Strength podcast where we will talk about all things wild and all things strength related -- and everything in between! With my background and education in strength and conditioning and human performance and my passion for the outdoors and hunting, I really wanted a place where I could tie the two together. I hope you can enjoy the incredible people and conversations as much as I will! These episodes are unfiltered, unedited, and no topic is left off of the table here!
