    How to become authentic again | Elijah Muhm

    Most people spend their lives hiding who they really are. Elijah Muhm did too. Before roofing gave him direction, he was spiraling — drugs, DUIs, bad decisions, no purpose, no future. In this episode, Elijah and Eric get brutally honest about addiction, fatherhood, toxic leadership, self-worth, and the fight to become someone your family can actually respect. This isn’t fake motivation or polished “success talk.” It’s two guys talking about what it really takes to stop bullshitting yourself and become authentic again.

    How to Stop Negotiating With Yourself and Just Show Up

    You do not need a perfect plan. You need to stop bullsh*tting yourself. Trevor Baxter, owner of CrossFit Elkhorn, sits down with Eric to talk about what actually gets people healthy again. Not hype. Not hacks. Just the truth. Starting is the hardest part, and most people never start because they keep hiding behind “I don’t have time.” They get into why community matters, why coaching matters, and why some gyms feel like a family while others kick you out the second class ends. Trevor also opens up about losing his mom to ALS, the workout they do every year in her honor, and why showing up is the whole point even when life is heavy. If you want results, stop trying to do it alone. Find people who will hold you to what you said you wanted.
