Today, I'm sitting down with Jordan Syatt, a world-record powerlifter and expert trainer for losing fat and building muscle. In this episode, we didn't just scratch the surface-we went deep, got practical, and covered a lot of ground in between. Our discussion on eating habits and disorders, particularly the impact of binge eating and succumbing to social media influence, will equip you with actionable advice. We also explored how the habits we form today can set the trajectory for our future and the impact this can have on our families. It was an inspiring conversation, and I'm excited for this episode to equip you further on your health and fitness journey.

Today, Hope and Tony are joining me to relive the adventure of BPN's 50-mile overnight ultra. This race truly embodied who we are as a brand—a gritty race where runners are challenged to hold the standard. Not only were the runners unaware of the course or location until the day of, but we also had to contend with loose bulls, rugged terrain, and a significant course change just an hour before the race started. This race was another milestone in shaping the BPN brand that I and the BPN community will never forget.

This week's podcast guest is CrossFit champion Jason Khalipa. Jason inspires through his fitness achievements and the wisdom he has accumulated as a father, business owner, and community member. This episode discussed fatherhood and what it means to show up, protect, and provide for your family. We also discussed how to maintain momentum in your daily life and how work ethic is caught rather than taught. Jason's perspective is truly inspiring, and I am excited for you to hear his wisdom and apply it to your life.

In this episode, I'm sharing a new installment in the "Founder's Journey" series about starting from zero. Humble beginnings are nothing to be ashamed of. I started my business in the spare room of my parent's house after taking a $20,000 loan from USAA. This episode will give you a peek behind the curtain of where I started and how I've grown personally and in business to inspire you to take the first step.
