His most notable company, Kettlebell Kings, was started from scratch and now it is a multimillion dollar, Fortune 5000, and international company. He is also a former student athlete that graduated from Rice university with an extensive background in all sports. Additionally, He’s a Hemp and cannabis advocate that owns a lifestyle brand, Life Grows Green, which promotes health and wellness using all natural ingredients and hemp products. Some questions asked during this episode: Why should we pick up a kettlebell in the gym/home? Can I get a whole-body workout using just kettlebells? How long should a typical kettlebell workout take? http://180nutrition.com.au/ Stu This week, I'm excited to welcome Chad Price to the podcast. Chad is an athlete, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Kettlebell Kings, the number one supplier and community in the kettlebell space. In this episode, we discuss why you should consider including Kettlebells into your workout, the best way to use them, and the quickest way to get the results you want. Over to Chad. (01:10) Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Chad Price to the podcast. Chad, how are you mate? Chad (01:16) I'm doing great today. Thank you for having me. Stu (01:19) No, look, thank you. Thank you again for sharing some of your time. I know you're super busy. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work or your companies, et cetera, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please. Chad (01:32) Sure. My name's Chad Price, currently, the CEO of Life Grows Green and my consulting agency, Price Digital Consultants. My background is in athletics and sports. After I graduated from Rice University, I started a company... I started several companies, but my most notable company is Kettlebell Kings, and that was a 10-year journey that I just culminated at the beginning of 2022. (01:58) And then, I wrote a book about that journey and starting your own business called Preparing for Battle and trying to help people get mentally prepared for what the next step is in terms of switching from entrepreneurship. I mean, switching from employee to entrepreneurship or transitioning from college or high school, wherever that is, and going into the entrepreneurship journey, having the correct mindset of doing so. Stu (02:21) Fantastic. Wow, what a journey. It sounds like you're muscled up and ready to attack pretty much anything. So, I'm keen today to touch on the kettlebell side of things because I know that it's not very often that you get to talk to a kettlebell king and you'd be one of them, right? So, and also, cognizant of the hemp and CBD stuff, very, very interesting. But we live in Australia, and so that's a no-no for us, unfortunately at this point in time. (02:53) So, I thought we'd dial into your journey with Kettlebell Kings and just kick off for our audience in terms of no doubt, we've all been to the gym and we've seen the rack of kettlebells, but they're next to the dumbbells. They might be next to the resistance bands, which are next to the free weights, which might be next to the assisted machines. Why should we pick up a kettlebell?

He made an astonishing comeback, winning a bodybuilding competition, just 11 months post-surgery. In this episode, we discussed the subtle art of building lean muscle while losing body fat, the importance of cardio when wanting to lean up and so much more. Over to Cody. (01:20) Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Cody Watkins to the podcast. Cody, good morning, good afternoon for you. How are you mate? Cody (01:30) I'm doing well. Thanks for having me. Stu (01:32) No, I really appreciate your time. Well, looking at your socials and all of your online activities, I know that you're a very busy man, so we'll get into the questions in a second. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please. Cody (01:48) Yeah, so I got into fitness pretty early, 15, 16 years old. I think very typical for any male, you're a little bit softer than you like to be, right? You got to get those abs, get it checked, and I just started, I guess, chasing the dragon, so to speak. So, I just kept pushing the size of limit. I got into powerlifting, got into bodybuilding. I did that obviously along the way. It's really easy to get into training since that's all you're doing. So that's where I kind of fell into that with my love for that, and then got into coaching, competed for 12 years in bodybuilding. Ended up having a few setbacks along the way that I had to learn to overcome, the biggest being open heart surgery. That was kind of a side blast, I didn't see that one coming. And yeah, I had a birth effect that I didn't know about. (02:31) I ended up being in stage four heart failure. My heart was like three times the size it should be, and then I got that all patched up. I ended up competing in a bodybuilding show one year later just to see if I could. I wanted to push the limit, but I like to take the reasons or excuses out for when it comes to clients because we'll build hurdles over things that maybe aren't. So, I figured if I could push the envelope, it would help me as a coach overall, because it kind of takes that excuse barrier now when it comes to working with people. Stu (02:57) Oh, my word. So, tell me, when you had that surgery. And I'm guessing with a character like yourself. You live and breathe for working out, feeling good, moving your body. Were you ever told that you've got to take this super, super easy? I wouldn't recommend that you pick up heavy weights or stretch your heart in any way? Was that on the board of the recommendations? Cody (03:24) Absolutely. So, going into it, I didn't know I had it. I had symptoms of heart failure the whole time, but I thought it was just bodybuilding. It was rough, right? I'm pushing through it, grueling along, probably maybe TMI. But man, I was throwing up probably one to two workouts a month, just thought I was lifting hard, but that was my heart not keeping up, right? Stu (03:41) Yeah. Cody (03:42) But anyways, when I found out, my heart valve actually ripped. I had birth defect in it. So, they were like, if this would've happened while you're training, you'd be dead. And the day before I was blasting out legs, just crushed. I was six weeks out from a bodybuilding show. So, I had just DEXA scan at like 6% body fat. I'm like, "Easiest contest prep yet. I'm so far ahead of the game. This is great." And then the next day I was in the hospital dying and had no idea, just side cast.

Bronwyn (02:09) Yeah, so I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I came about becoming a therapist, I have an interesting journey that is comical, I guess. So I came to become a therapist later in life because I myself really, really, really needed a good therapist because I fell into a pit of depression where I was barely functioning and I was getting physically ill. So I sought out a therapist and as dysfunctional as I was and as hard as my life was, I thought to myself, I know even right now I could do a better job than she's doing to me. And then I found other therapists and I felt that way with all of them. So I thought I'm going to go back to school and get a second master's degree and become a therapist, and that was part of my healing journey, actually.

She is also an ex Grey Area Drinker. She finally quit booze in April 2019 and never looked back! Some questions asked during this episode: Is alcohol the best approach when wanting to destress after a hectic day? What are the less obvious signs that we may be drinking too much/often? What do you say to those who reference ‘everything in moderation’? https://180nutrition.com.au/ Each episode we cut to the chase as we hang out with real people with real results. This week I'm excited to welcome Sarah Rusbatch to the podcast. Sarah is an accredited sobriety and gray area drinking coach based in Perth and also the face behind Perth's alcohol free movement.

So maybe I can start off by explaining to you what is gray area drinking? For full transcript and interview:https://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/sarah-rusbatch-interview/
