]]> 3982 Deb Armstrong on New Challenges, Giving Back, and Living Young Deb Armstrong is truly one of a kind. She is an Olympic gold medalist but as you will learn quickly in this episode, that accomplishment doesn't define who she is. After retiring from a successful World Cup racing career, Deb went on to get her degree in history from the University of New Mexico where she also learned more about who she was outside of her athletics. She jumped into ski coaching with both feet and went on to hold several high level coaching and directing roles where she helped develop some of the best young ski talent in the US. Deb's approach to coaching is playful, light, and distinctly unserious - despite being a very serious athlete for her entire life. Which tells you everything you need to know about her magic. She has an electric enthusiasm for sharing, coaching, and giving back. All of this comes through when you see her in action on her YouTube channel, Ski Strong, where she's published hundreds of coaching and instructional videos. We are so grateful to have spent time with Deb in Colorado and once again when recording this episode. It's rare to see someone live with such passion and curiosity for life.

This show dives into the nuance of emotional substitution and how feel-good phrases like “Joy is Resistance” can unintentionally bypass the real work of activism. We will explore what true resistance looks like (spoiler: it’s not always comfortable), and how we can hold both joy and responsibility without confusing the two. I'm going to challenge you to build your emotional capacity, reflect on your guilt, and start engaging with real sustained action. You don’t need to agree, you just need to stay curious. Topics Covered: The myth of "joy as resistance" Baldwin, Lorde, and the call for responsibility Emotional partitioning (hello, divided plate metaphor!) Guilt vs. action in the face of injustice What real resistance actually looks like 🎧 This is one to share—especially with someone who’s been struggling to find clarity in the chaos.

]]> 3494 Stay in Your Lane? Not a Chance! - Leadership and Activism in the Age of the Internet When public figures, athletes, celebrities, and most especially - women, speak out after political or social crises, they're often met with the same tired command: “Stay in your lane.” In this episode, we unpack why that phrase is more than just dismissive, it’s a tool of patriarchal control. From celebrity activism to everyday leadership, we explore how visibility equals influence, and why using your voice is a form of power. This episode challenges the idea that any of us should remain quiet or apolitical and makes the case that all people, regardless of their platform, are leaders with the ability to drive change. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

In most cases it was the fact that these goals often came with both a desired result and timeline instead of one or the other.

]]> 4272 Growing Pains: When Grassroots Goes Mainstream How do you embrace progress without losing the soul that made a sport special in the first place? That's the question we toy with in this episode. We are experiencing a strange déjà vu as athletes in two niche sports going mainstream. CrossFit exploded during the 2014-2018 years, which were also our most competitive as athletes. And now gravel is following a similar arc. In this episode, we look at the parallels we’ve experienced firsthand. Both CrossFit and Gravel Biking began as a countercultural resistance to the more serious and overproduced mainstream versions of their sport. CrossFit grew from gritty garage gyms to a global spectacle with the rise of the CrossFit Games, title sponsors, and a flood of new unaffiliated athletes. Gravel was once a quiet, adventure-driven niche and is now full of pro teams, big-money races, aero arms races, and media attention. It's a conversation about culture, values, commercialization, and nostalgia. We unpack why these shifts feel emotional, even when growth brings better racing, safer events, and more opportunity for everyone. 💪 Train With Us: Get access to expertly designed daily workouts at ⁠⁠⁠www.tacticworksout.com⁠⁠⁠ 🥦 Need Personalized Nutrition Support?

It was a tragedy that follows a history of negligence on behalf of CrossFit, and Alex and Meredith sit down to reflect back on their experience as CrossFit athletes as well as previous occurences where athletes put their lives on the lines for points. They delve into the emotional impact on the community, safety concerns, and the controversial decision to continue the games. This episode not only honors Lazar by shining a light on the way he passed away, but also advocating for change so no other athlete or family member has to suffer such a loss. If you were moved by Lazar’s death, Alex and Meredith share how to best cause a disruption in CrossFit including writing directly to brands and sponsors to hold accountability by threatening their bottom line.
