“...the most dangerous thing you can do is not work out...” – Jethro Cardona

We interview Jethro Cardona, owner of the CrossFit Chief Nation gym in Massapequa, NY.
In addition to being a business owner, Jethro also serves the community as a Nassau County Police officer working with youth communities via the Police Activity League unit. Originally from Queens and Brooklyn, he shares how his Puerto Rican mother wanted him to have the best educational opportunities and eventually moved them to Long Island. It’s there where he eventually became a police officer, got married and started a family.
We discuss how the pandemic helped him realize the need in our community for better physical fitness opportunities. This led Jethro to becoming a fitness coach and eventually to his official venture into the competitive world of the Fitness industry with the launch of CrossFit Chief Nation.
A truly inspirational conversation on so many levels. Jethro teaches us that if you have a dream that nothing can stand in your way of making it a reality.
We hope you enjoy!

In this episode:
We interview Sacha Hamilton who is a mom, entrepreneur, cannabis enthusiast, and the creator of The Dope Deck card game. With the legalization of cannabis becoming more widespread and less taboo, Sacha wanted to create a game that allowed like-minded individuals to have fun and build relationships, all while safely getting their smoke on. Thus, The Dope Deck was born.
Now based in southern California, Sacha comes from a unique background and shares how her experiences living around the world in places like Saudi Arabia and Austria helped shape her outlook on life and drove her to ultimately become an entrepreneur.
We have a healthy discussion about the social stigmas that marijuana use is still known for. We also take time to share our own individual perspectives regarding marijuana use and how the consequences of regular usage can vary by economic class or racial groups.
It must be said that Sacha is absolutely hilarious, charming, smart, and we could go on. Her Main Character Energy is on full display throughout the conversation and we could have easily continued our conversation into the wee hours of the night.
If you like to have fun with your friends, while smoking or not, you definitely will want to pick-up The Dope Deck and see where the fun takes you! Ask for it at your local smoke shop or check out the links below.
We hope you enjoy!
