Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone

Episode 112 Laurie Jimenez - Relentless Minds Podcast, Host / Conquer Your Day Program, Creator

“...embrace where you came from…” “...ignore the outside noise and be aware of when you are conforming to social norms.” “I take full responsibility of EVERYTHING in my life.” -Laurie Jimenez

In Episode 112, the Two Fit Crazies welcome the “relentless mind” of Laurie Jimenez! Laurie joins the Fit Crazies from Alexandria, Virginia where she is currently working as a dental hygienist by day, but an advocate for EVERYONE who wishes to own their own story and create the life they deserve. Laurie talks about how her experience breaking free from a “cult-like” religion and then excommunicated by her church, family and friends lead to her to a period of darkness; a period that she needed to experience in order to wake-up and rewire her brain. Laurie’s story is both heart wrenching and miraculous, and in this episode, she reveals how she draws from her tumultuous past to inspire others to be more “relentless” through her own podcast, Relentless Minds. (Fit Crazy Christine even makes an appearance on one episode!) Laurie also reveals her new program, “Conquer the Day,” intended to provide people with a plan that will hold them accountable for their mind, body, and soul. Laurie Jimenez is RELENTLESS!

In Episode 101, the Two Fit Crazies have the honor of hosting, in studio, a Brian’s longtime friend and friend of the show, Bryan Price to hear of his Forrest Gump-like journey in athletics, military, leadership roles, coaching, his love of #sports and Mental Skills Training, which has become his passionate pursuit as he enters civilian life. As intriguing as ever, Bryan will have you slapping the floor ready to “D Up” anything that comes your way.

Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Bryan C. Price, Ph.D. is the founder of Top Mental Game, a provider of professional coaching and mental skills training for athletes in high school, college, and the professional ranks. He is also the founding Executive Director of the Buccino Leadership Institute at Seton Hall University. Prior to starting Top Mental Game and joining Seton Hall in 2018, he spent the first half of a 20-year Army career in operational assignments as an Apache helicopter pilot, including combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. From 2012-2018, he was an Academy Professor in the Department of Social Sciences and the Director of the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) at the U.S. Military Academy. He is known for his published research on terrorist leadership and organizational behavior, and he is the author of Targeting Top Terrorists: Understanding Leadership Removal in Counterterrorism Strategy by Columbia University Press. He holds a B.S. from the U.S. Military Academy in U.S. history, an M.A. in international relations from St. Mary’s University (TX), and an M.A. and Ph.D. in political science from Stanford University.  In his role as the CTC Director, he was asked to testify in front of Congress and frequently briefed the nation’s top counterterrorism leaders, including the Secretary of Defense, Directors of the CIA, and multiple combatant commanders. At West Point, he was a three-year starter and team captain on the baseball team, setting school records in career and season runs scored as well as hits in a season. A three-time All-Patriot League selection, Price was named on the Patriot League All-Decade Team (1990-2000). He also served as an assistant coach (infield/first base coach) on the team during the 2010 and 2013 seasons, which included a Patriot League Championship and a trip to the NCAA Regionals.

Bryan truly is an incredible man.

Chandler Walker - Stone Age Fuel/"Chanslogic"/Culture of Care - Episode 89

Episode 89 

Chandler Walker - Stone Age Fuel/“Chanslogic”/Culture of Care     

 “The one thing that people will never forget is how you make them feel.”  -Chandler Walker   

In Episode 89, the Two Fit Crazies had a blast with Chandler Walker who “ZOOMed” in from a very cold and windy Reno, Nevada. Chandler, the mastermind behind “Chanslogic,” the founder of Stone Age Fuel, and the creator of Culture of Care, shares his amazing story of how growing up with 5 sisters and a degree in biochemistry and microbiology lead him to be a self-proclaimed “Health Detective.” In college, Chandler made startling discoveries about what was “really” in the supplements being offered to the public and traveled the nation giving seminars revealing the truth behind the labels. Chandler, now compelled to educate the masses, created his 5 Pillars of health to help his largely female-based clientele take action and take control of their lives. Through Chandler’s 8-week courses that focus on cognitive behavior therapy and an in-depth approach to disrupt unhealthy behaviors, he is making huge waves in the health and fitness industry!
