Hello, my friends, and welcome to the Memorial Day Special 🥳
Memorial Day is about honoring the brave men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting for this country, and I couldn’t think of a better way to pay my respects than to dedicate this episode to them 🇺🇸
Today’s episode also marks the one-year anniversary of this show in its current format and me beginning on this path, so I spend the first part of the show reflecting on everything that’s happened from then until now and with a sincere thank you (1:51) to my day ones and everyone else who has helped me grow this show to the point we’re at today 🙏🏼
Transitioning then into the bulk of today’s episode (12:18), I share what Memorial Day means to me, how I spent my time during the long weekend, recap the annual Murph WOD, and breakdown who Michael Murphy is and why Crossfitters do the WOD Memorial Day 💪🏼
And of course, Memorial Day Weekend wouldn’t be complete without spending at least a little bit of time on the water, so a quick recap of taking the boat out on the Ohio River (32:56) 🛥
The final big chunk of today’s episode is me opening up on some real shit regarding what these types of holiday weekends look like sometimes when you finally speak up and create boundaries for yourself and let go of old relationships (36:41)… spoiler alert, it’s kinda lonely! 👤
So I use the last segment of the show to speak on the nostalgia and vibes I was feeling this weekend, plus, a couple little updates on the show, including what’s next (59:17) 🔮
