Social media is the future, and in order to dominate your field you must have a strong social media presence with unique influencers, organic content, and ingenious marketing. Which is why you are about to listen to my man Chad McBain.   Chad has helped build several 7 figure businesses by being the “man behind the scenes” and setting a ridiculous standard for what it means to be an expert in social media marketing. Are you having trouble in this area at all!? Then this is definitely the episode for you. Chad lays out some ground rules that make people successful or ultimately make people broke. Having been in his own whirlwind of ups and downs, like myself, he points out the most important factors that kept him motivated during every step of the way.   We also touch on several new business ventures that he is currently working on with his significant other (Laci Kay Somers @lacikaysomers… Who just happens to have 10M followers) including cryptocurrency, music, and exotic car businesses.   This episode literally has a little bit of EVERYTHING in it with a super casual feel. You’re going to learn a ton while also feeling like you’re sitting on the couch right next to us. Let’s bro out, get motivated, and learn some things. From rock bottom to rock star… Have great listen!   - Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc_mcbain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please support our partners! @bioptimizers: www.BiOptimizers.com/realchalk  “chalk” to save 20%   ► 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.

Tero Isokauppila knows more about mushrooms than you ever thought possible, and he breaks it all down in ways that the average human can understand. (Don’t want to be an average human? Start drinking mushroom coffee.) Originally from Finland, Tero has farming and science in his blood, and he brings this heritage to bear in everything he does with his company, Four Sigmatic. It’s his goal to improve people’s life quality, using nutrition as a stepping stone to whole-person wellness.   His new book, Santa Sold Shrooms, will be published soon and it will blow your mind. We talk about the origin of the Santa Claus story we know today (hint: it involves psychedelic mushrooms), and dive into the controversial possibility that well-known religions were based on mushroom-induced hallucinations.   Tero explains the meaning of Four Sigmatic, how cordyceps were discovered, and why you shouldn’t eat raw mushrooms—using a semen analogy—as well as how foods become superfoods and why we need to care about eye health. It’s an info-packed episode that will make you feel smarter before you’ve even started drinking Lion’s Mane. Get educated! Episode Highlights: 2:50 🍄 Tero’s origins: degrees, parents, heritage 4:20 🍄 Why natural supplements don’t appeal to athletes, but adaptogens are different 7:00 🍄 Some science-y sh*t about nutrient density, and what “four sigmatic” means 9:10 🍄 If you give a yak a mushroom...(how cordyceps was discovered) 11:15 🍄 Why you shouldn’t eat raw mushrooms (there’s a sperm analogy in here) 13:15 🍄 The cure for cancer is...mushrooms?? 17:00 🍄 The new marketing landscape, and how information spreads 18:50 🍄 The four mushroom pillars 21:40 🍄 The next uncharted territories: eye health, immunity 28:00 🍄 The different kinds of magic mushrooms 29:40 🍄 What we currently know about mushrooms’ effect on the brain 31:50 🍄 The evolution of Santa Sold Shrooms 33:40 🍄 Details and spoilers 35:00 🍄 What do mushrooms have to do with religion? More than you might think 38:15 🍄 Rock-, plastic-, and oil spill-eating mushrooms 41:30 🍄 How a food gets to be super (Tero hates the word “superfood,” by the way) 45:00 🍄 The Four Sigmatic process, and how to sniff out a bullsh*t product 49:00 🍄 Don’t buy protein powder from China. 54:50 🍄 What a mushroom newbie needs to know 57:00 🍄 Books and other resources   Enjoy- Ryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc_tero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please Support Our Sponsor: @BiOptimizer: www.BiOptimizers.com/realchalk    ► 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.

When Jessica Woods came to CrossFit PHX life was not going her way. Back in Arizona and going through divorce, she was lost in a fog of indecision. It took almost a year to get back on her feet. Along the way, she had convinced herself that fitness was her life path, and made every attempt to prove that story true. Although she was having an incredibly positive impact on those she served as a trainer and coach, she still felt empty inside. As we've proven time and again through the stories of our guests on Feed Me Feed Me Fuel Me, timing is everything. Through soul searching and a few chance conversations with mentors like Derz, Jessica discovered that nursing was her calling, and decided to pave her new life path as a corpsman in the US Navy. As fate would have it, she ended up "greenside" serving alongside Marines. We catch up with Jessica as life has come full circle to see what she has manifested in her new life of service! Thank you to Jessica and all our service men and women!   - Jeff  and Mycal  ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/fmfm_woods ----------------------------------------------------------------------   ► 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.
