    In this episode, we delve into one of the foundational frameworks that underpins our entire approach to living a life of excellence – the five factors of health.

The Best Darn Podcast in the Land

Writing my first ever podcast review! Been a podcast connoisseur since 2015 and picked up this one in 2019. There are many great podcasts I toggle through but this is the only one where I simply cannot miss an episode, and have even gone back and listened to many episodes that are years old.

I passionately share the values discussed on this podcast that extend far beyond fitness. The 5 factors have given me a tangible framework for which to intentionally live my life and add value in all of my roles. It seems counterintuitive for someone who is not directly part of the CrossFit community (I choose Brazilian jiu jitsu training over training at a box) to religiously listen to a “CrossFit podcast” but there is so much more value in Chasing Excellence than improving your Fran time.

I wrote into the podcast last year about struggling to find like-minded people in my family/friend group and received invaluable advice that has helped me reframe this challenge.

I hope this podcast continues on indefinitely and I can continue to soak up the wisdom shared. We are chasing what truly matters!

Win the morning

Ben and Patrick, I love starting my day with listening to Chasing Excellence. It helps me get in a good mindset, calm me, and helps me focus on my intention for the day. I did a member video for our CrossFit gym on morning routines and shared Chasing Excellence as a highlight. I've listened to every episode at least twice. Thank you for the impactful and valuable content and the connection you make available. Although you don’t know me, I feel like I start my day with two supportive friends. I am better because of the ideas you spark in my personal reflections and conversations with friends. Sincere thanks, Angie

This podcast, it’s content and the shared wisdom of Ben & Patrick have been changing my life since I started listening in 2017, which is also when I found CrossFit. You have helped me figure out how to move, think, connect, eat and recover my way to the absolute best version of myself. THANK YOU!
