Dad Bod WOD Podcast

#013 On this week's episode, we have Kyle Borden, an Oklahoma State trooper who gets to fly a helicopter around catching bad guys all day. And as badass as that may sound, what’s even more badass is that Kyle is a regular guy like you and me. He’s not a CrossFit celebrity or a coach with like 100k followers on Instagram. He’s a regular guy who I connected with over Instagram and we’ve had a friendly relationship over the months since.
One day, Kyle posted a transformation pic and explained how he lost 60 pounds in just 6-months, and I was seriously astonished. I never would’ve guessed he was 60 or 70 pounds heavier because he’s a pretty fit dude!
I'm excited that he's here to share exactly how he did it.

Throughout our conversation, you’ll hear:

• A funny story of how Kyle was initially motivated by wanting to simply look good in a swimsuit
• The simple tweak he made to his diet which led to losing 6 pounds in the first day
• You’ll also hear how he asked his wife to support him through this journey
• How he shed a ton of weight and started to feel better before he even bothered lifting a weight or doing any kind of exercise.
• And some simple tips and tricks that anybody could do to get started on their fitness journey today!

You’ll want to stick around to the end of the show where we discuss how finding a community of like-minded people can make all the difference between success and failure.

#021 - This week, I’m joined by guest co-host Michael Ashford of the Fit Dad Fitness podcast. Michael was actually my first guest back on Episode 002, entitled How Asking For Feedback Will Make You a Better Father and Husband, which I highly recommend you give a listen to, because in that conversation not only do you get to learn a ton about Michael, but we dive deep into how men often get in their own way and if we just set our egos aside and sought feedback more often, we’d be way better off.
Michael is back on today to discuss how consistency is more important than perfection, and I couldn’t think of anyone who embodies consistency more than Michael. He’s been working out consistently for 8 years and he’s only recently had to take some time off to recover from surgery.
Throughout today’s conversation, you’ll learn how consistency is more important than perfection and our top 5 tips for being consistent.
Specifically, we’re talking about:

• Goal setting
• Doing things when you don’t want to
• Understanding that sometimes you have to be extreme
• Setting reminders and small rewards
• And making your goal a part of your identity

You’ll want to stick around to the end of the show, where you’ll hear how being consistent will not only help you achieve your fitness goals but will make you a better more present father, as children thrive when their parents are super consistent.

#082 - Whenever you hear me say, "you can lose up to 20 lbs in as little as 12 weeks," does that sound too good to be true? Well, my guest on this week's episode is James Notarianni, a private 1 to 1 coaching client of mine who felt the same way. James who is also a super busy dad with super limited time was skeptical at first too but signed up for the program and lost over 20 lbs himself. And here's the best part: he lost all this weight over the holiday season - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! In this conversation, we discuss exactly how he lost over 20 lbs, how his life was before signing up for the program, why he signed up, what he learned in the program and his advice for anyone who is considering signing up. Seriously, you're not going to want to miss this one.

Combat Controllers are special operations forces who specialize in all aspects of air-ground communication, including air traffic control and fire support in covert environments. As you could imagine, Daniel was trained by some of the best in the business.

While in the military, Daniel took his passion for training others and opened up a CrossFit affiliate near Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and eventually became a part of the training cadre for GoRUCK, which in addition to their awesome backpacks put on these huge obstacle like events for anyone to participate in and experience some pretty bad ass training.

Daniel is also the owner of Ruckwrap, which provides compression and other training tools for you fitness toolbox.

Throughout this conversation you’ll hear

• How Daniel got involved in training others
• What the term RUCKING even means
