ATHLETE'S PURSUIT Joe Rodonis

I want to introduce you all to Cameron Ahouse.  Cam is a trainer based in Boston, but his route to get there wasn't so direct.  He has a journey that's actually quite similar to my own.  Cam also began his career in finance and talks about his transition into the fitness world.

I've always had a great deal of respect for Cameron, as a trainer and as a human.  It's not hard to see that Cam has a lot of fun with his training, always tackling new challenges and encouraging his community to do the same.  His work extends far beyond the gym, however.  Cam is also an advocate for men's mental health.  Leading and supporting work that encourages men to share what they are going thru and to support one another.

I loved diving into Cam's story and hearing about his journey into the fitness world.  It took a lot of courage to leave a cushy and secure finance job to essentially start over in the fitness world.  Taking a lot of humility and patience to just follow your passion and do work you love.

Enjoy this conversation with Cameron Ahouse.

This is our first episode of 2022 and I couldn't be more excited to have my brother, Chris Rodonis, joining us.  

Chris has a great story to share. Chris ultimately became a 2x national champion and the University of Kentucky in Cheerleading. While receiving a scholarship, and completing his MBA. Since graduation, he carried his success into the business world and is currently a Chief Revenue Officer.  

The road to success was not an easy or obvious one, however.  Growing up, athletics was not his natural gift.  But he had something else, a relentless quality about him.  He had this way of setting his sights on a goal and just simply worked at it.  Sounds simple enough...and it is. But his consistent work and attention to detail paid off. 

We hear his story about how he even found the opportunity at UK.

We talk about the strength training program in college and the power of team. 

What was the transition away from college, being in peak shape, to striking balance in business. 



I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did

Practice Gratitude. I've been told this before, and I get it...I think we all day. We understand the concept of gratitude, right? If we are grateful for where we are/what we have, we'll be happier.

But how many of us actually practice gratitude. There's always a difference between understanding something conceptually and actually embodying a belief and putting it into practice.

I've always been curious about this; why should I actually practice gratitude? I haven't really found a strong enough reason to compel me to make it a daily practice. That's why we dove into this topic.

As Ryan and I dove into this topic, we found a ton of research that's been done on the subject. Let's dive in.

This week we have Joel Totoro @jctotoro from Thorne @thorneresearch Director of Sports Science. Joel was the very first, full-time Dietitian in the NFL for the New England Patriots from 2004 - 2012.

In this episode we talk about stress on the body and recovery to fuel performance. But there is more stress than just physical or emotional. What about your environment? And what lessons can we take from professional athletes that we all can learn from?

What are signs you can look for that show you are "under-recovering" versus "over-training"

Enjoy this episode!
