    Episode #19 - Jenn Power: Creating a Healthy Fitness Relationship

    For those of you who are long term Old City members, you’ll remember the staple coach that was Jenn Power. She helped hold down the fort in the afternoon for the first few years that we were open. She’s since moved on to greener pastures in upstate New York and now Pennsylvania, but Jenn dropped in on the podcast to deliver some knowledge bombs for us all to consume. If you didn’t get the chance to work with Jenn when she was here as a coach, don’t miss this opportunity to learn from her now!

  4. Episode #18 - Dr. Jess Baker: Know Thy Strengths

    Episode #18 - Dr. Jess Baker: Know Thy Strengths

    I knew Jess Baker for a LONG time before recording this podcast and right around the 50 min mark I learned that she has a PhD is Nuclear Physics. It sort of blew my mind and we spent a large portion of this show talking about that. One thing that struck me when talking to Jess is her extreme humility. I can definitely learn something from her in that regard, but tucked behind her hidden PhD is a subtle confidence that was forged through years of focusing on her strengths both as an athlete and as a scientist. I hope you listen and learn as much about Jess as I did when I recorded it. [0:00] Jess Baker does Naval Warfare modeling [15:00] Jess and Sean talk Leadership [30:00] Etiquette on a Submarine if you get the chance to ride on one [45:00] Upstate New York [50:00] Sean finds out that Jess Baker is Dr. Jess Baker in NUCLEAR PHYSICS! ...and we talk about this fact for a LONG time [1:20:00] Jess and Sean talk about cool things science has created [1:30:30] What Jenn is working on to improve her life

    What do CrossFit, powerlifting, triathlons, and rock climbing all have in common? Sean Chua does them all.

It’s hard to become the top 1% at something, but it’s fairly easy to get to be in the top 20%. Sean talks about consistency, effort, mental fatigue, coaching, leadership, and everything in between. I learn something from Sean everytime I talk to him, so give this podcast a listen and hopefully you’ll take something away as well!

  8. Episode #14 - Jason Camsky: Using CrossFit to Improve Yourself

    ١٦‏/٠٨‏/١٤٣٩ هـ

    Episode #14 - Jason Camsky: Using CrossFit to Improve Yourself

    I love every conversation I have with Jason and I was especially lucky to have recorded perhaps my favorite conversation with him thus far. We dive into a ton of topics, but the theme of the conversation is really about self improvement. As CrossFit coaches, both Jason and I see CrossFit as an important avenue towards self improvement. In this podcast we breakdown how we use CrossFit specifically at Old City as a method to move ourselves towards health by focusing on fitness, nutrition, stress management and sleep. The first 80% is fairly tactical, filled with ideas and approaches to move yourself in a healthier direction. The final 15 minutes is me and Jason pontificating the hero’s journey and what that means for our lives and how we want to live. I really hope you enjoy: [0:00] Jason’s life as a beer sales rep for Port City and a fitness enthusiast and coach. [7:30] Jason and Sean talk about their approach to nutrition and eating healthy, and give a lot of practical guidance to eat for weight loss, strength gain, and health. [53:00] Approaches to make improvements on your health, by focusing on your weaknesses as opportunities for growth. [58:00] Stress management - a little background on stress and what to do to reduce stress to live life in better balance. [1:16:20] Sean and Jason chat technology and offer some ideas on how to reduce it’s power on our stress. [1:33:25] The podcast ends. SIKE! [1:33:35] Jason and Sean talk about the Hero’s Journey and things get deep. Hopefully the theoretical thoughts we explore come across as informed and thoughtful :)
