In this episode we touch Nick Symmonds story of running for a division 3 school that ultimately put him into the Olympics... Twice... When asking the coach of his top choice college (Oregon) if he could be part of the team — the coach reciprocated with a definitive “it’s never going to happen.”   Even with double Olympic glory and this amazing underdog story, Nick still became depressed and had a 1 year slump of finding himself that he describes as “needed to happen.” Nick talks about how he’s found a new love for working out again, but this times it’s CrossFit and other outdoor activities.   With a New love for working out and a new outlook on life, Nick has more energy and spring in his step then ever to create something great. His company Rungum is actually more than great and is now sold in huge storefronts including Target and a few other huge superstores that are not allowed To be spoken of just yet ;)   Stories like this one are exactly why I do this podcast and I absolutely LOVE everything about this episode.

In this week's episode I visit my friend Justin Ahrens (@justin.ahers) in Eugene Oregon and chat about his new gym and clothing brand that have been doing quite well in a short period of time. We discuss a lot about how he runs his gym, why branding is important, and how the vibe is everything. Did I mention that Justin just happens to be a CrossFit Games podium finisher for the team division? And he’s been in the game for just as long as I have. Side note... In college he was a competitive golfer. Weird huh?   Anyway, this is a great easy listen that reiterates how important the “little things” are in business and life. Hope you enjoy it and follow Justin and his new clothing brand called Treeline.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ahrens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► 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.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

Looking for a fun event for strong people? Look no farther. The One Ton Challenge is the most fun weightlifting competition you will ever complete. It tests your lifelong pursuit of strength and leaves out the unnecessary formalities...and cardio.   The One Ton Club — A club at Cena’s gym of people who can lift a total of one ton or 2,000 lb. in 48 hours doing 6 lifts: squat, clean, jerk, snatch, deadlift and bench. Anders Varners made it to the one ton club! Cena created the One Ton Club as a way to make training more fun by gamifying it. If you made the One Ton Club, you get a special shirt, and your name will be on the door or wall.   Set up the BBQ, get your friends, turn up the music, and use The One Ton Challenge as your motivation to pursue strength!   There’s no need to qualify. You don’t have to be in the top 1% to participate.   Strong people don’t run from a challenge, they attack it head on. The purpose is not achieving a certain number. The purpose is to get better. With a goal specific program designed to build strength and perfect technique, you will get better.   The One Ton Challenge Starter Kit is your step-by-step guide to testing your lifelong pursuit of strength.   To ensure you get results, we have developed The One Ton Training Program with the most successful strength coach in the country, Travis Mash. This program is broken down into six, eight week training blocks. Each training block builds full body strength in the major weightlifting (snatch, clean, jerk) and powerlifting lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) with a focus on a specific lift that you will have to master in order to reach your goal of One Ton or 1500 for women.   Coach Travis Mash is no stranger to strength. He is 46 years old and still front squats over 500 pounds.  He had more athletes compete in the Weightlifting World Championships than any other coach in America in 2018.  He has many freakishly strong athletes include Hunter Elam, Nathan Damron and Morgan McCullough.   The One Ton Challenge Training Program is a 4-6 day/week program that provides strength training, technique drills, and movement specific accessory work to build full body strength, while mastering each lift to smash through the 2,000 pound goal using just 6 lifts (again… snatch, clean, jerk, squat, bench, deadlift).   Are your strong enough to be in the One Ton Club?   Are you ready to take on the One Ton Challenge?   Get ready. -Anders and Doug ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes at: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/bbs-prologue ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Subscribe to Barbell Shrugged's Channel Here ► 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.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

Daniel Cleland - founding partner and CEO of Soltara Healing Center. @danielccleland is a passionate social entrepreneur, traveler, and explorer from the small rural community of Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. Since packing his life into a backpack in 2006, Daniel has sought to experience the less traveled trails of Latin America and raw, unconventional experiences until he ultimately found his passion in social entrepreneurship - business that makes a positive impact in the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 2011, while completing a Master’s of Intercultural and International Communication, Daniel founded a small tour company operating in Latin America which proudly became one of the highest rated plant medicine centers until he sold it in 2017. His personal and professional experiences with the medicine awakened his passion for unlocking human potential to create positive changes in the world which led him to Costa Rica, where he would ultimately find his home and build Soltara Healing Center to be what it is today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Creating a safe and authentic Shipibo healing center, based in a beautiful beachfront paradise was a dream that became reality and through his full-time dedication to the project, he was able to complete Soltara within one year after finding the beachside property. He believes that the most motivating and important aspects of life are helping people, solving challenging problems, and having truly amazing relationships with close friends. Like Melissa, Dan’s reach in the plant medicine world has stretched far. Daniel has produced two documentaries called Drinking The Jungle (www.drinkingthejungle.com) and The Plant Teacher (www.theplantteacher.com). He is also the author of Pulse of the Jungle:  Ayahuasca, Adventures and Social Enterprise in the Amazon (www.pulse of the jungle.com)   Melissa Stangl holds a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, USA. After several years conducting brain and lung cancer research and gaining managerial experience across a wide range of businesses, her interests turned toward the healing power of plant medicines and psychedelics, and their influence on the mind-body connection. She has since managed operations and coordinated various social projects as Director of Business Development for a top-rated ayahuasca retreat center in the Peruvian Amazon. She is currently the Founding Partner and Chief Operating Officer at Soltara Healing Center, a Shipibo-led plant medicine healing center in Costa Rica, with a strong focus on integration support, indigenous tradition, and creating a community that empowers each member to be their own healer. She has also had the opportunity to deepen her work with plant medicines through several master plant dietas. In an effort to dive more fully into the plant medicine movement and recent renaissance of psychedelic science, she is also currently writing a book called Roots of Consciousness, which has won the MAPS-sponsored psychedelic literature contest through Publishizer.   In this episode,  Melissa and Daniel dive into developing intuition with your body. How to tap into your intuition around nutrition and movement.   Daniel and Melissa talk about what the Soltera Healing Center is and why they started this center.   Minute Breakdown:   0 - 18 Daniel’s experience with depression, self destruction and his fall off a rock.  After 5 weeks in the hospital he decided to change his life and what was happening in his life from his mental state and internal circumstances.  What he did to change his life and those internal circumstances.   18 –29  Melissa’s experience after college and changing her path away from corporate america which she hated.  The lost traditions of medicine and how Melissa and Daniel came to honor and respect the processes and the mystic and ancient healings out there.   29 - 42  Plant medicine for healthing and spiritual growth and used for finding your passion. Are millennials entitled or are they scrambling to find what really works.  How Dan and Melissa are working within a system of capitalism but operate it with a global awareness for a search for meaning. Making a positive impact.   42 – 50: Burning holes in arms as a healing.  Using science but also looking at things as a whole at the same time.  Including mind, body and spiritual health into healding. Solving emotional issues to help eating badly or having to change your looks. How emotional and psychological healing makes working out easier.   50 + Root cause of addictions. Society way of portraying diets.  If you feel good then you will look good not the other way around.
