The Nomad Strength Show

We're diving into training today!

Tune in and enjoy the episode. Check out Wild Rivers Coffee Co for amazing coffee made by amazing people. Portions of each order go toward wildlife conservation, so be sur...

In Episode 2 of the Ross and Brandon Show, the guys chat about their individual struggles with the balances of social media, and how to be authentic in a world that rewards inauthenticity. A lot of the conversation turned to how to navigate the flood of information and turn it into positive, personal growth, especially for men. This was a fun conversation that brought to fruition some ideas that h...

If the last 3 years have taught us anything, its that we are entirely too dependent on others for our not only survival, but just daily needs. This realization was a wake up call for many. To procure and be responsible for yourself and your family entirely should be the norm, but we’ve become reliant on convenience and comfort in the last 100 years. For most people, the simplest place to begin to...

In the first episode of this season of the affectionately and extremely creatively named, The Ross and Brandon Show, we dive into the lessons and mindset to establish foundations for success. We have a good time reliving some childhood and athletic memories that helped shape us into who we are today, and get into what we wish we would have known earlier in life to help be successful in the mountai...

Finding authenticity in the social media landscape is like finding a lush oasis in the middle of a barren desert. While we do have the ability to curate our feeds, the algorithms and bots don’t make it easy to stay away from the garbage that distracts or upsets us. So when you do find an account that is a positive person sharing their passions and actually adding value to your day, make sure you f...

There has been a pretty prevalent corner of the internet in recent years focused on giving tools to men to improve their lives. I mean, its what this show, and my coaching business is based in sharing. But a lot of the content out there is full of fluff, vain, nonsense and put out by men who don’t live what they preach. So i guess its not really different than most industries, eh? However, there a...

Got a special episode for you today on this Friday show. I'm joined by my friend Brandon Lilly again today, and we have a pretty packed conversation, unsurprisingly . We both recap some recent hunting experiences from this season, and give some insight on our relationships with social media. Toward the end of the episode we also give the first tease and outline of the new outdoors/training/health...

One of the great frustrations of my professional life is the constant and unrelenting need for black and white answers to health questions. This is an entire conversation full of nuance, and yet we try to reduce it down to this protocol or this system is THE answer. And we do this before even looking under the hood to see what things are going on with an individual person. So how do we get to the...

My guest today is my good friend and repeat guest, Zach Rollins. Zach and I have developed a friendship in the last year around a shocking number of similarities in our lives. In this episode with Zach I wanted to dive into his mindset of running and starting several businesses and what keeps him driven to continue on, even when its really easy to throw it all away and go get a good “stable” job....

In this highly-requested episode, I'm going to very basically recommend and explain a few supplements I really enjoy and a couple that I generally suggest to coaching clients. This is really difficult to do because every individual is so different, so I don't often like to do a blanket "everyone needs this" type of thing. But, here I do my best to navigate that dilemma. If this is helpful for you,...

My guest today is Nate Spearing. Nate is a former Army Ranger who served for 14 years in Elite Special Operations, but his story might not be what you expect. His journey was filled with adversity and failure. He likes to say he, “failed his way to the top”.

For today's solo show I'm doing a recap of my first archery elk hunt here in Idaho. It was an awesome experience with several lessons learned, and I share a good "what not to do" story.

This was a true joy of a conversation and Dan is a hilarious man. Follow him o...

Bear started Born Primitive to fill a need, and he did so in what we both affectionately called the Ha...

This was an Inception-like show today. I read had a post that was inspired by a blog written by someone who listened to a podcast, then I recorded a show about it! The idea of having a baseline fitness or health standard before having certain conversations is something I wholeheartedly agree with, so I wanted to expand on all of it in today's solo episode.
