We’re back — and this time, we’re taking the Industrial Athlete mainstream. If you work with your hands, wear gloves, and earn your living through sweat, grit, and skill — this one’s for you. I sit down with Adrian from Cayuga Health, the sports medicine pro who trains and treats athletes for peak performance. Together, they break down what it means to be a Frontline Athlete — where real work is the sport.  From injury prevention to recovery, from toughness culture to long-term performance, this episode puts the science of the field into the hands of the Crew. We dig into:

• What it means to be an Industrial Athlete — and why the term matters
• The real physical load of shift work — construction, nursing, firefighting, and culinary
• Training vs. surviving: how to build capacity, not just endurance
• Recovery that actually works for the working class
• Longevity and durability — how to stay in the game year after year

This season, we’re bringing in experts — med pros, firefighters, trainers, and builders — who know how to keep your body running when your work runs you down. Frontline or industrial, athlete or worker — it’s all the same grind. If your hands earn your living, you’re already training.
The goal isn’t just to survive the shift — it’s to perform it.
