SmartHERNews A Spy Story: The CIA Case Officer Who Changed The Fitness World
When Emily McCarthy tracked down rebel leaders in West Africa, she had no idea her time in the CIA may lead to a discovery that would forever change the health world.
The story you will hear today is a spy story ... a love story ... and an American success story of a veteran-owned company called "GORUCK."
If you have seen someone walking on the side of the road carrying a weighted-backpack or vest, you can trace the origin of this type of exercise to GORUCK ~ the creation of Jason and Emily McCarthy. Jason served in the U.S. Army Special Forces (better known as the Green Berets) and Emily worked in the clandestine services as a case officer. From deployments overseas to the rocky shores of marriage and entrepreneurship, the two persevered and pioneered a new way to both exercise and gain community.
Emily walks us through the various chapters of their story to mark not only the release of the new SPY RUCK for women, but also mark a week when we celebrate the veterans who have served this nation.
