The Active Life Podcast

The first time I met Pat he challenged me on a post I made on Instagram in which I criticized CrossFit’s use of high intensity training. It was love at first conflict. Pat Barber has been around since the early days of CrossFit. I’m talking about the days before you knew CrossFit existed and before CrossFit even really knew what they were on to. Pat went from getting coached by CrossFit founder Greg Glassman to filming and editing hundreds of CrossFit Seminars, to running CrossFit’s world famous Level One and Level Two Seminars. In this episode Pat discusses extreme ownership, staff communication, and the creation of his company warmupandworkout.com .   Pat Barber can be found at: @patbarbercf @warmupanworkout warmupandworkout.com     We can be found at: @activeliferx www.PerformanceCareRx.com www.youtube.com/theactivelife

Eduard Checo grew up in some tough streets. He spent his adolescence getting arrested wondering if that’s what the rest of his life had in store for him. Everything changed for Ed when he saw a man in a park doing some impressive stuff (A typewriter) on a pull-up bar. Ed decided he wanted to be able to do that, and he documented the journey. Barstarzz was born. Now Ed has over 160 million views on youtube, over 500,000 followers on Instagram, and is the father of a fitness, street culture that is sweeping the country. In this episode we talk about changing who you are surrounded by to become who you want to become, getting your first pull-up, and making a living documenting your journey. It was incredibly insightful for me and I’m sure it will be valuable to you. If you’re listening and you’re looking for work in video editing there is even an opportunity for you in there, but you gotta pay attention.

Will Skudin is a world renowned big wave surfer. If you don’t know what that means, to simplify it Will rides waves taller than apartment buildings that move faster than you drive through your neighborhood. “You see a pool, I see a horse” is how Will described the ocean. The mindset that goes into what Will does is incredible. In this interview we talk about falling off of a wave and not knowing if he was going to survive as he lost feeling in his arms and legs, starting the largest surf camp in the northeast, and having the patience to wait 8 hours to catch three waves on a great training day. We also discuss culture and what it’s like to consistently be a guest in someone else’s ocean. This conversation got deep, no pun intended. You should give this episode a listen when you can really let yourself relax and take it in.
