It has been said, "the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step." Our guest this week, Beau Ash, has taken many first steps as his life has unfolded into the chapters of his story. Beau went through a journey of acceptance and self-love. One of the hardest concepts to grasp as we move through life, is the idea that with loss, comes growth. For a great deal of Beau's life, so many of the negative interactions he has experienced were the result of the projections he was putting out into the universe. However, in the wake of loss, he would discover that he indeed stood to grow the most. Beau took a 4,100 mile road trip that manifested in deep reflection. He has gone to work on himself, answered a lot of hard questions, and faced a lot of conflicting truths. Once Beau began his deep dive into self, he discovered that his capacity to serve the world was extremely limited, and the self-work is never-ending. However, Beau has come to a place where he values his time alone. He understands that in order to protect his energy, he must be in tune with who he spends time with, and what activities he spends that energy on. Beau has become a practitioner of his word. In this episode, we discover all the elements that lead Beau from a polarizing rebel of authority, to a CrossFit athlete, to Yogi, to a man without any of those labels, walking a path of strength and peace. The freedom of thought achieved through years of introspection and reflection is apparent as he sets out to debut his podcast, "Whatever I Want", and a support group that redefines masculinity for men that are high performers, or want to be, but are inhibited because they stand in their own way.

Scott Keppel is the owner of Scott's Training Systems, a world class fitness studio located in Chandler, AZ that offers both in-person and online coaching. He specializes in post breast cancer recovery, pre/post- natal, pageantry training (he's the official trainer for several states), weight loss and business owners/executives. Scott is also a motivational speaker and nationally certified fitness and nutrition coach. He believes it is important to help clients achieve their optimal levels mentally, physically and emotionally. Scott's mantra is to lead with "Why?". When he starts training clients, his mission is to figure out what the significance of experience is supposed to be. He makes it a point to be tactfully honest with his clients, not only keep their expectations realistic, but to ensure that they understand that the victory lies in the process, not the outcome! When he worked predominantly with fitness and figure competitors, coming to grips with the subjectivity of the sport when it came to judging, begins with acknowledging that you are indeed going to be judged. Then he made the shift to pageantry and building physiques in world where physical training can often be overlooked, or outright ignored due to the negative stigmas associated with women and weight training. To take it one giant step further, Scott excels in working with special populations that include women who have battled breast cancer or recently had children. When it's all said and done, what is required of his clients is to create a physique that facilitates confidence, performance, and an appreciation for the journey is a lot of honest conversations with tactful candor.

Having mastered the process of managing multi-businesses and teams with a dynamic customer focused culture which drives sales and profitability. David has three advanced degrees in human development and Educational psychology, which shows in his passion for people and self-development.

The shift is result of a refined thought process in which David has acknowledged the way of the market from preventing overtraining to preventing under-recovering as a means to create longevity and increased performance. David has had his own epiphanies over the years, but none more profound than the concept which he wraps his message in today: "If you plan to look after others, it is imperative that you look after yourself first." Self-care is paramount amidst David's philosophy of living in your creative genius to accomplish your greatest self. There is a way to create the balance required to live a fulfilled life. The notion that one must go without, and live with the proverbial pendulum swinging far from center is antiquated in David's eyes. As he grows and develops the organizations he's created, he makes that abundantly clear when he has an opportunity to mentor those under his charge. Join us this week, as David shares his wisdom with the Feed Me Fuel Me community and learn how to bring life's pendulum back to center while you build a great life and your greatest self! - Jeff and Mycal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/fmfm_lovell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Over the last 7 years Ketan has started, scaled a sold multiple businesses. He has also served as a Special Advisor to the former UK Prime Minster (David Cameron) on Youth & Business Policy; other work includes being part of the European Parliament & Commission working on the 2020 strategy for enterprise and employment. When we asked Ketan where the momentum to continually pivot, reinvent, and repurpose comes from, his answer was simple, yet profound, "I was just ignorant enough to leap and my curiosity was bigger than my knowledge." Through his years of consulting on both large and small scales, he has come to find commonality amongst those that fail to launch or plateau in success. Chief among these is the fear of success rather than failure. Ketan has become aware that what terrifies people the idea of actually accomplishing immense achievement. In this episode, we dive into the three things that everyone must figure out, regardless of their station in life are: Who you are, what you're good at, and what you're in the business of. Ketan is a massive believer of staying in your lane - playing in your creative genius, and keeping things simple. Your lane is the activities in which you're able to deliver a result with minimal effort. Often times people fall in love with the proverbial "Hero's Journey", completely missing the lessons told in the tale, only to repeat the same mistakes of their heroes. At the end of the day, 1% change in perception can manifest in 100% change in results. Therein lies the power of mentorship - "Spending time, rather than creating it." - Jeff and Mycal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/fmfm_Makwana ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

He has coined the phrase, "Your Message Came From Your Mess". He leads his guidance with a singular question, "Are you willing?" Are you willing to leave "life's dumpster" behind and move forward towards what you truly want from this life. In this episode, Tony walks us through the "Smile Exercise", a part of his daily routine that facilitates his GROWTH (Gratitude, Reality, Open-mindedness, Willingness, Teachability, and ultimately his Happiness).

Jeremy Thiel has been successfully running his box, CrossFit Central for 13 years! As a box owner, he kept focus on challenging himself and those around him to consistent excellence. Blessed with the heart of an athlete, mind of a leader, and an entrepreneurial spirit, Jeremy is not only effective in his approach to business, but also extremely gifted in motivating people to achieve their own goals. His intense drive and dedication to succeed in the life has laid the foundation for his innovative approach to leadership. In this episode, Jeremy shares his story about getting into CrossFit early in 2005, and how he established himself early by attending the L1 seminar every 6 weeks. He also talks about his career as a competitor, and when his CNS hit a point that removed him from competition, and led him to take over a year off from training, until he found the Wim Hof Method. Jeremy soon underwent a mindset shift that turned his gym into an explosive business. He explains that his awesome team of coaches is formed not through training, but on instilling in them ideas of mental growth and responsibility. He also talks about his strategies to continue his own learning in how the human body works, and much more.

Taylor Dayne Loyd is owner of TDLFIT and co-owner of Iron Greenhouse. She has been coaching boxing for 8 years. She is USA WEIGHTLIFTING Certified and has her Precision Nutrition Cert. Taylor competed in bodybuilding competitions, bikini and figure. She was a nationally qualified figure competitor. After 3 years of bodybuilding, she made her way into Crossfit. Taylor is currently training at Crossfit Jaakarhu under Michael Winchester. She is a passionate athlete and coach with high expectations for her athletes. She grew up struggling with wanting to be really skinny. She was completely obsessed, and even went through a bad drug problem. After being in a rough spot, she decided one night to change her life around, ditched her dream to be skinny, and decided to show herself how strong she can really be. Since 2007, she have been training, coaching, and competing in the fitness industry. She has been hands on training for 10 years, and takes a balanced approach to fitness combining intense and varied workouts with nutritional and dietary support. Taylor draws inspiration from many workout styles, including CrossFit, bootcamp, plyo, yoga, gymnastics, and fighting. In this episode, Taylor talks about her journey in the fitness world, transitioning from bodybuilding to CrossFit, and her experience competing on a team at regionals and the games. Taylor gravitated towards CrossFit because of the sense of community. In bodybuilding, there was no sense of team or "us", so the team centered environment of CrossFit instantly hooked her.

Kambo is an extraction from an Amazonian frog, which some people think is poison, but it's a collection of peptides, which humans use for cleansing the body and spirit for thousands of years. The episode is broken down into three back-to-back separate interviews. The first one is with Simon Scott, the kambo medicine practitioner and provider, and two more interviews with the participants in the ceremony, including previous guest, Mark England.

Seth Spencer (@sethyoumfer) Page is owner and co-founder of Misfit Athletics, a competitive and affiliate programming and coaching for CrossFit Athletes - "The most well rounded programming for competitive athletes". MisFit Athletics began as five guys from the great city of Portland, Maine, who ended up at the same place, coming from very different paths, which is exactly how they were able to come together to create the program, coaching, media, apparel, and camps that exist today. Seth began his fitness journey in college, by working out with friends and trying to become a personal trainer at a more traditional "globo-gym." He then became disinterested in that pursuit, switched careers choices, and became a Law Enforcement Officer in his early 20's. In 2008, he was introduced to CrossFit for the first time at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy, and from the moment he completed his first workout, he knew he had found what he was previously looking for. Today, Seth spends most of his time writing all the conditioning and skill work for Misfit Athletics programs, and works daily with well over a dozen high level athletes, and in communication with dozens more. When he's not at home at his Portland affiliate CrossFit MF, he's on the road coaching training camps at different affiliates around the world, or at a competition helping steer members of our squad to victory.
