Revealing Strength Podcast

In this episode, Eric Santure sits down with a long time training partner and friend Alex P. They laugh a little too much and have a great time while talking about what you should expect and how you should be approaching your training coming back into the gym after several months off.

In today's episode host Eric Santure talks about failing and a little self-awareness about what keeps us and him from moving forward. Its a short episode and in the end, we talk a little about what's to come. 

Episode 15 is a SNEAK PEEK of all the awesome things coming for Revealing Strength and The Revealing Strength Podcast!! Stay tuned for more!

One more episode from the vault of Summer 2018 brings us to a small town outside of Madison, Wisconsin to talk to University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Associate Athletic Director/Associate Professor, Dr. Kristina (Meissen)Navarro.

We go back into the Revealing Strength vault from Summer 2017 and bring you something BIG--big as in the BIG TEN. Last August your hosts Eric and Julie travelled to Badger Country (Madison, Wisconsin) to train, talk, and watch the CrossFit Games. While we were there, were so fortunate to have the opportunity and time to spend with Kevin Schultz, Director of Olympic Strength and Conditioning at the University of Wisconsin. Kevin Schultz gives us real talk on the life of a strength and conditioning coach, how the road to get to a leading Division 1 program includes much more than "just being a strength coach." Kevin tells it like it is and goes beyond the barbell, the football field, the court, and the track. This is a must-listen for any one who is or aspires to be a strength and conditioning coach or work in the world of college athletics.

What does a gym owner do when his one of his worst nightmares comes true? — Early in the morning of August 6, 2018, a tornado ravaged Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Episode 10 has a special places in our hearts--one of our favorites to date. After the dust of the 2017 CrossFit Games in Madison, WI had settled, a very humble man with a few grey hairs met us at Lifetime Fitness in Novi, Michigan to talk to us about what it's like to be over the age of 55 and more fit than most of us. Truth be told, we fan-boy & fan-girled out pretty hardcore because Robert (Bob) Boshoven is not only a local legend in the CrossFit, coaching, wrestling, teaching, and fitness community, but he's also a CrossFit Games silver medalist. We talked about training life, coaching life, family life, and the thrill of standing on the CrossFit Games podium. No matter what your age, Bob's interview will warm your heart, fuel your fire for training, and make you smile.

Revealing Strength has been all but absent of late. So we decided its time for a pulse check, and its time to come back better than ever!

In Episode 7, we take a moment of pause from discussing our usual training, competing, and physical culture in order to look at strength in a whole new light. We look at the strength of the human heart, both literally and figuratively. Jason Rule, owner of Driven Nutrition--one of the foremost nutritional supplement companies supporting CrossFit affiliated gyms, opens his heart to tell us and our listeners a story that few have heard: Lakin's story. In this first installment of a three-part story, strength is revealed in the love and strength of a mother willing to undergo indescribable pain for unconditional love. Strength is revealed in a father who doesn't know if his wife or unborn child will survive. Strength is revealed in parents who survive 10 minutes at a time as they sit with a newborn preparing for open heart surgery. Strength is revealed as Jason takes gratitude for life from his newborn son's challenges and channels them into building a brand that supports the health and well-being of Affil
