We had a blast this week interviewing Will Lanier, founder of OUTWOD and The Out Foundation. We hear from Will about how his experience as being one of the first few gay men in the early days of CrossFit motivated him to start OUTWOD and The Out Foundation, and how his mission has evolved to include health and fitness scholarships for LGBTQ youth, education about transgender issues, and a non-stop schedule that has earned him the nickname “The Gay Mayor of CrossFit.” Please leave us a review on iTunes!

I can’t believe it’s December! I can’t believe it’s almost 2019! I can’t believe I’m a grown adult and still don’t understand how time works! This week’s J&C episode is all about trying to figure out where the time goes, and how to get the most out of it. We talk about writing your own ending to 2018, Joy’s takeaways from recently seeing Michelle Obama speak, the difference between finding your “purpose” and feeling fulfilled by your job, and some realness about recent body image issues and insecurities we’ve both faced.  Unplugged Float Essentials discount code GGW Support the podcast!

We are so excited to be joined this week by Ben Pakulski! We interviewed Ben at the #PODCASTHARD event in Tahoe this September, and were blown away by his honest and in-depth take on the mindset around bodybuilding and fitness. Ben is a former IFBB Pro bodybuilder, who has competed in everything from Mr. Canada to Mr. Olympia, and we had the chance to sit with him and discuss how he’s working now to help bodybuilding athletes evolve their mindset around the sport. We also discuss the mental game of training in general, and hear how becoming a father has had the greatest influence on Ben’s life purpose and plans for the future.   Unplugged Float Essentials discount code GGW Support the podcast!

This week’s J&C episode is all about fancy coffee, the worst kind of internet people, and some listener Q&A. We talk about why “just being honest” should really be called “just being a jerk,” why it’s important to be authentic but still self-aware with your internet presence, and most importantly, why Joy needs a new fancy coffee maker.

Ben Greenfield is one of the godfathers of health and fitness podcasting, so we were thrilled to get to interview him at the #PODCASTHARD event in Tahoe this past September. In this episode, we talk with Ben about the difference between honing your performance with biohacking vs. missing the forest for the trees when it comes to your health. Does it really matter what type of vitamins you take if you’re not getting enough sleep? We also discuss spirituality, Ben’s Catholic background, and what works for him when it comes to balancing family life and entrepreneurship.

Believe it or not, 2018 is wrapping up – and we have a lot of processing to do. We start this week’s J&C episode with reflecting a little bit about the past year, and then discuss a list of things that everyone *should* be able to do by age 40 – from learning how to stop apologizing, to feeling good about going to bed at 8pm if you want to.

We are so excited to welcome Steph Hammerman back to the podcast this week (you can check out her first appearance in Episode 110)! Quite a few things have changed since the last time we had Steph on the podcast, from meeting the man of her dreams to conquering Lymphoma, and now becoming the proud owner of her new gym, Hammer Driven Fitness. We hear about what it’s like to go through so many transitions in such a short period of time, how she’s coped with the physical changes that came with chemo, what it’s like to build a gym from the ground up in a new town, and what she’s learned about herself and her priorities along the way.
