Twelve years ago, two college football players in a dorm room had an idea. Six years after that, I met James Peters & Hewitt Tomlin through using their incredible software, but have remained friends with them because of their work ethic, mission to serve & value based business tactics. Now they are tackling bigger issues than just strength training programming software by using their platform as a business to help the strength and conditioning community - WAY beyond an app for programs.

First generation immigrant, the son of military parents, the grandson of holocaust escapees and a lifelong iron enthusiast, Zach Even Esh is one of the most passionate coaches I know. I am always curious to know where undying obsession and relentless pursuit of a goal comes from. No doubt, Zach was greatly influenced by his upbringing and lineage and it shows up in his coaching and mentality every day at Underground Strength Gym.

As a young boy, Marc took heed from several key mentors along the way to completely transform into an uber success in college and professional athletics as well as in the business world more recently. Currently, Marc is the leader at Anatomy gym in Miami, Florida. He and the Anatomy TEAM are undoubtedly one of the most knowledge seeking, positive groups of people I have ever had the pleasure of being around. Clearly, this stems from their leadership in Marc.

This isn't about sets and reps. Mycal Anders (@coachderz) is the owner of Crossfit PHX, father, ex-Marine and podcaster (@feedmefuelme). After we dive into his upbringing and background, I asked Mycal to describe a very unique experience that he had recently. In 2017, he was invited to a veterans only retreat during which he experienced hallucinogens for the first time in his life. The benefits were plentiful and he shares the entire experience here. Vulnerability is the name of the game.
