Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Rich homies unite! Travis S is one of the hungriest (literally) guys in the game when it comes to YouTube personalities. An accountant by day and avid weight lifter by night... and food challenger extraordinaire everywhere in between. But Travis' story unfolded more as how he was able to take his fear of public speaking and being a natural introvert to a natural in front of the camera and putting...

Drug addict. Alcoholic. Powerlifter. Entrepreneur. And doughnut connoisseur! Krissy Mae Cagney has overcome nearly a decade of alcohol and substance abuse by diving head first into her own form of recovery that involves more barbells than a twelve step program. She has accomplished so much in such a short period of time all the while battling her own addiction demons. Living clean, sober and stron...

How do we account for success in life? In the gym we measure it by adding weights to the barbell or increasing our speed on the treadmill, but life doesn't always make it that easy elsewhere. Pushing past our perceived limitations and pursuing our dreams, our true passions to stand confidently on the other side is what so many of us strive for. Or at least want to. Accountant by day, bodybuilder b...

Joining me this week are two of the co-founders of Nudge Health Tracker and Nudge Coach, the smartphone app and online health coaching platform changing the way healthcare professionals interact with their clients. By having users track, actively or passively, their activity, diet, sleep, etc. their coaches are able to monitor the data and better guide them along their wellness journey. "Our mobil...

NWB IN THE HOUSE!!! I had the pleasure of reconnecting with my old friend, Nick Wright. Nick has lived, eaten and breathed YouTube fitness over the past five plus years. His story is one that always comes to my mind when I think of someone truly applying passion to purpose. A native Rhode Islander, I had the privilege of getting to know Nick for his year in Richmond, VA. We crushed countless worko...

Have you, or someone you know, ever struggled with finding the right diet? Has it evolved into disordered eating or even an eating disorder (yes, there is a difference)? This week's guest, Josie Mai, has experienced this same struggle and is here to tell you her story and that there is hope. In today's world, we cannot scroll through our Instagram feed without seeing some sort of "#fitspo" or "#ii...

Being a health coach, I cross paths with some amazing and incredibly smart professionals who also help others live their best life. In this case with AIRROSTI rehab provider Dr. Justin Bryant, I share walls! He is a doctor of chiropractic by trade but has spent the last several years working exclusively on weekend warriors, Crossfit junkies, stay-at-home moms and even professional athletes. His te...

This is, to date, my longest and perhaps most hard-hitting interview on improving the SELF. In this episode, we discuss how our own limiting beliefs are usually the root of our limitations. How the ego masks itself in various ways that form unwanted habits, how to bring awareness into your life to allow these to surface and the action required to improve upon them so we can truly step into our own...

Jake Ducey is a guy following his heart's calling by living the life he makes for himself. He has traveled the world, faced near-death, acted upon (seemingly) outlandish goals that have set him for success and life of true happiness - all by the age of 25!  Drawing on some of his most recent works, we discuss his book  The Purpose Principles and how we can learn to draw more meaning into our life....

Aika is many things; an entrepreneur, a designer, a mentor and a phenomenal hostess to an out-of-towner like myself! I had the privilege of being escorted around the VIP tents and watching shows backstage all thanks to Aika and her amazing team of empowered women during Austin City Limits in 2016. After getting to know her and learn of her start from a battered women's shelter to self-made woman,...

I had the privilege if attending Shawn's live recording of his podcast "The Model Health Show" here in DC last month. He opened up the floor to questions from the audience and I jumped at the opportunity to connect with this wellness and entrepreneurship mastermind! I encourage you all to first listen to episode three, "The Power of Taking Action", and then revisiting this episode. Just as importa...

Amanda shares with us how sometimes the best laid plans do not wind up being the end result. I spent the majority of the day with her training at Venice Beach Gold's Gym, grabbing some lunch and a beer and of course she took me to her favorite local donut shop. I have had the pleasure of training and hanging out with Ms. Bucci several times since this interview and am proud to call her a friend. S...

After spending a long weekend with these guys I can honestly say I have made some friends for life. I connected with Nick nearly a year ago through his YouTube channel. He served as an active duty officer in the United States Army and I was an active duty noncommissioned officer so we immediately connected over our time in the service. These guys are changing the supplement game for sure, on top o...

If you are like me, you sometimes table ideas and projects out of uncertainty or even fear of failing. But why? Why are we so afraid to put ourselves out there and not give ourselves the opportunity to succeed? The opportunity to fail and learn from it? In this episode I talk about my own hesitations to take action and why and how I am no longer letting the fear of the unknown or failure stopping...

If you follow YouTube fitness channels at all then you are most likely no stranger to this young man, Christian Guzman. Founder of Alphalete athletic apparel and gym in Houston, TX, Christian has grown to become one of the biggest names in the social media fitness industry. After spending the weekend with Christian here in DC, I had the chance to sit down and learn about his origin story and all o...
