What’s up, dude? What’s going on? Welcome back. Am I the first um reoccurring guest? I think you’re I think you’re the first recurring guest. That’s dope. Yeah. I was here for the first episode and then Yeah, you’re the first one back, bro. Let’s go.00:00:38 – 00:01:46
Chase you. Let’s go, dude. Um, dude, last time we spoke, you were here in Cali. Well, no, last time we spoke, I was in Nashville. Nashville. But, uh, but last time you were on the pod, you were here in Cali. Um, you were a year out from semi-finals and not making semi-finals again. Yeah. Um, and now semi-finals is online now for online and in person. Yeah. Yeah. And and last time you were still in Cali and now you have partially moved and gone all the way to the games, man. Congratulations.00:01:12 – 00:02:21
Yeah. Thank you. I appreciate it. That’s wild, huh? Yeah, it is crazy. A lot could change in a year. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I feel like Yeah, a year ago you were It sounds like you were figuring a lot of things out. How’d you end up How did you end up in Tennessee, man? Um, shoot. I was working with a coach. Uh, things weren’t really working out. And, um, I kept seeing, uh, I don’t know if you know who Kefir Lambie is. He’s a coach under Proven. Well, he’s my coach now, but I kept seeing him at like every00:01:45 – 00:02:55
single comp that I went to. So, um, we ended up connecting on social media. I reached out and then um yeah, started working with uh Proven Fitness and it’s kind of how I got there. A year ago, obviously you didn’t qualify for a semis. Yeah. And we were like we’re talking about questioning a lot of things. You know, you’re um going full-time into it and the first year you’re like the first year I go full-time into it. I don’t make a semi versus when I was working. I make one00:02:21 – 00:03:37
and you’re like, “Dude, is this is this the right way? Am I doing the right things?” And last year was what were the games coming out of that summer? Were the games in sight 12 months ago? Um, well, I don’t think so. I just wanted to get back to a semi and then the way the season changed with being able to do both team and individual uh changed a lot I would say for me. What um what do you feel like were the big adjustments that you’ve made in the last year lifestyle wise?00:02:59 – 00:04:24
Um, well, even before last year that when I missed out on semis, like I was still working full-time pretty much. Like, it was just the open where the open and quarterfinals where I was like working a lot less. So, I mean, this this is really the first year of being able to pursue it full-time. So, that’s obviously the biggest difference. And then just being at the proven camp like every day with uh Kefir like my coach and other professional athletes. It’s been the biggest game changer ever. So00:03:42 – 00:04:59
yeah, super grateful and have made so much progress already. So I’m excited to see Yeah. how or what I could do this next year. Obviously, do you feel like this is the beginning of something new or like Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I mean, you just realize like how I know people do it with like a full-time job and like they make it happen and stuff, but like just being around other athletes like that do it. That’s all they do. It’s just so much I don’t know. I it’s just so much more different like with it00:04:20 – 00:05:30
actually being your job and doing it full time. It’s like okay you can see why the best stay the best because this is all they do like all day every day. Everything in their life revolves around this. So you can see why they’re the best and stuff like that. If you were hypothetically, you know, now that you’ve a year later qualify, I’m sure you want to go back. Yeah. And as long as the sports around, you want to try to pursue winning the games, I’m guessing. Yeah. Um, just on the fir first year alone, just00:04:54 – 00:05:51
being able to qualify and and I guess materially like participate and and and hitting a goal that you probably didn’t think you would this year. Do you feel like it gave you enough clarity on like what what let’s just say hypothetically you’re like, I’m not going to do this anymore starting today. Mhm. Do you feel like you learned enough about yourself in this last year that you’re like it would spur you to know what to do next or you’re still like early in that? That’s still unknown to me like what I00:05:23 – 00:06:35
want to do next. I mean, I’ve already learned so much about like life and stuff through CrossFit and just pushing myself every day. But career-wise, it’s still like I feel like there’s an unknown. I mean, yeah, I know. Like, you always want to have a plan B. Yeah. Have something ready, but I don’t know. This is like the only thing that feeds my soul right now. Like, like excites me. Mhm. Everything else is just like, “Okay, I’ll do that for money.” Or there’s nothing else is like, “Oh, I’ll00:05:59 – 00:07:11
do that for free.” You know what I’m saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I’m still trying to figure it out. I know I love like fitness and like pushing myself every day, but I don’t know. I’m I’m still like undecided about it. I know I want to be around in the fitness industry. So, how was it? I mean, how was it moving, picking up and just leaving? Yeah. I originally went out there just for the open. That’s right. There was no one. That’s right. Yeah. I was just only supposed to be00:06:37 – 00:07:46
there for 3 weeks and then uh That’s right. I had we had a online team semi-finals coming up. So it’s like and that was like what was the gap? Yeah. What was the gap? It was like a a month. So I was like I had in that 3 weeks I had learned so much and like every day was so impactful. I kind of just asked like, “Hey, is it okay if I stay like just throughout like from now to online semi-finals and they’re like, “Oh, yeah, of course.” Like, “We love like having you here.”00:07:12 – 00:08:24
Mhm. And then playfully, Nick, the CEO, he was like, “Yeah, just just move here.” And then, I mean, I was, it was a joke, but I kind of went home and I was like, “I’m learning so much here.” And like just in the 3 weeks, I felt like I got so much better just from being in a camp and being around coaches full time. Cuz prior to that, like just doing everything on your own, like in my garage or at the gym, like just on my own, I hadn’t really been around like elite other elite athletes. So00:07:47 – 00:09:14
just being there was like a game changer for me. What was it? Um I mean 3 weeks is a very controlled short predictable time and um so you what started off as a as a joke and then obviously you guys qualified so you’re like I’m just going to stay here through the games um what was what was that process like thinking I’m just going to be away and like what was the mental side of that like for I mean, at first it was like exciting. Like, I feel like it’s everything I’ve always like dreamed of or like wished for.00:08:33 – 00:09:43
Yeah. So, it’s like at first it’s like, “Oh, man. Like, let’s do it. I can’t wait. Like, this is where I want to be.” But then like um I don’t know. It’s like I just didn’t know realize how much I would miss like California. Yeah. and like my family like I don’t know just you don’t you don’t appreciate what you have till you don’t have it. Sure. Like don’t get me wrong I’m like super grateful to be there and like Yeah. Like this is where I want to be for sure00:09:07 – 00:10:12
cuz I’m just getting so much better just by being there. But yeah. What things do you miss the most here? Yeah. The weather there. It rains. Like it’ll be I don’t know. It rains so much. It’s humid. Um just like gloomy sometimes and it’s like I don’t like in California it’s just sunny every day. So the weather is that good here. It Yeah. It’s a price you can’t pay for. Damn. Like you don’t you don’t realize how much it makes an impact on you until you00:09:41 – 00:10:55
leave. Yeah. Until you leave. Like I miss the weather. I miss um just being around my family. Like yeah, I don’t know. Just I have such a big family so it’s like no matter what there’s always somebody like in the background like just like background noise or like I don’t know just I I’ve never just been away from my family for sure this long. Like it still like I know I moved to Tennessee but it still feels like this is home. So yeah. Yeah. I just miss my family and weather.00:10:17 – 00:11:11
That’s that’s what I miss the most honestly. You think you would How would you feel? What if they all moved out there with you? That’s never going to Well, yeah.

"If you could make a goal of eating four palm-sized portions of protein a day, that could be a really simple way to kickstart your fat loss journey."
