From Insecurity and Anxiety to IFBB Pro | With Javiohn Seymore
Underdog Podcast
11/02/22 • 43 min
In this episode, we interview IFBB Pro bodybuilder, Javiohn Seymore.
From Georgia, Javiohn started bodybuilding in high school and his primary adversity at the time was the insecurity of being one of the only kids bodybuilding at his school. Being scrawny and "built like a windshield wiper," he fell in love with lifting weights and a fire to prove people wrong.
We talk about his journey through COVID and the connections and relationships he had built to allow him to continue training throughout the pandemic, which subsequently led him to receiving his pro card.
At the ripe age of 24, he continuously strives to make a name for himself in the world of bodybuilding.

Daimond learned first hand what it takes to become a competitive athlete, and now he utilizes his knowledge and wisdom to coach the up and coming generations. After college he went on to play over a decade of minor league football for several mid west football teams.
Now, he is the owner of Alpha Human Performance, based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. He started it at the beginning of COVID, so we discuss how he was able to get through the trials and tribulations of opening a gym during a global pandemic.
After talking about his journey through life thus far, we dive into topics such as comfort and discomfort, how sports have changed since the 80's, competition in sports and in business, and how athletes and businessmen/women were forced to level up during COVID.

We discuss his rollercoaster of a ride to end up on one of the best wrestling programs in the country.

Surround Yourself With the Right People with Jess Racz
Underdog Podcast
09/07/22 • 69 min
She suffered an eating disorder and severe depression in high school going into college which hindered her ability to fulfill her dream of playing division 1 college basketball. While searching for a new passion, she found CrossFit, but shortly after, herniated her L5-S1 and was out for 10 months.
She was in a very dark place and that is when she decided to pursue the strength & conditioning and sports performance industry. To get there, she started mopping floors at 20 years old, opened up my own gym location at 23, and now is climbing the ranks of basketball performance training.

In this episode we interview current D1 wrestler at University of Michigan, Matt Finesilver.
Matt grew up in a blue collar family out of Colorado with 3 other brothers where he wrestled with and against. He wasn’t very good in his youth but the constant competition allowed him to grow as a wrestler and all 4 brothers ended up wrestling for Duke University.
We also discuss his battle through his ACL/meniscus tear back in 2020. Before transferring to the University of Michigan for this coming year, he competed with the U23 world team.

It's hard enough starting a company - 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more (Investopedia). Starting a company at the ripe age of 19 lowers those percentages by a significant amount.
We talk with James about the challenges he's faced thus far, his development as an entrepreneur from a young age, and the crossover from sports to business. One common theme in this interview is his ability to take actionable steps towards a desired outcome, regardless of the discomfort involved.
