Misfit Podcast

This week on Unprepared we talk to 3x CrossFit Games athlete and current 2nd fittest 45-49 year old Justin Lasala. Maybe more impressive than his resume is the lethal combination of humility and confidence, both of which he'll use to beat you one way or the other and then promptly move onto the next event without worrying about past results. We think you can learn a lot from Justin and what it tak...

After about a month of quarantine, most of us have been relegated to working from home or just... at home. With the loss of a routine comes an amplified effect of the little things we've taken for granted: having a dedicated workspace that isn't your home, a commute of some sort that requires exposure to the outdoors, and some non-exercise movement, and general inactivity to name a few. Today's ep...

Today’s episode is very much about getting back to basics and using this great weather to entice some extremely healthy situations.

In this episode, we discuss how to lean on the major tenants of the Misfit Project to maintain your health and sanity during this time of isolation. While we're usually big proponents of social interaction with your tribe, getting outside as often as you can for both sunlight and movement, etc., COVID-19 has thrown a bit of a monkey wrench into that protocol.

In another special edition podcast live from Wodapalooza, Drew, Sherb, and Hunter got the unique opportunity to sit down and chat with a true CrossFit OG and 7x Games athlete Dani Horan.

As we continue to move forward in this modern world we are unfortunately becoming sicker and sicker as a society.

Many factors lead to a successful CrossFit Class, including great coaching, thoughtful programming, organized class logistics, music, and safety, to name a few. While all of these factors play a role, we have a short, actionable list of things coaches should ask themselves at the end of each class called the three “S’s.” In today’s episode, we discuss the three “S’s” and exactly how they pertain t...

In the wake of the tragic helicopter crash involving Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven others, we wanted to take the time to address the example Kobe left behind and how we can adopt some of his strategies into our own lives and keep his legacy as powerful and meaningful as it should be. I (Drew) grew up idolizing Kobe from the day he was drafted (I was 9 years old), and knowing I had to record...
