At first look, Molly is a mother, wife doctor, and crossfitter with a passion for helping her patients through some of the toughest times in their lives. But once Molly starts to tell her story, you quickly realize that her passion is deeply rooted in something personal. A diagnosis and a journey that closely mirrors the one she delivers to her patients every day. At age 32, Molly a wife and mother of two, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 041: Lynn and Dallas StoltzI asked Lynn to be on the podcast right around when I started it. She has a really cool story of recovering from an eating disorder. We met at CrossFit during one of my first ever workouts in the class. I became friends with her and have been friends ever since. I had just met Dallas during the podcast, and I was glad I got to talk with both Lynn and Dallas. We talked about nutrition and training and what it was like working together to overcome an eating disorder and develop a healthy relationship with food.
Lynn and Dallas both...2016-09-091h 02RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 040: Leslie FranklinLeslie Franklin was such an awesome interview. Especially for my 40th Episode! Loved getting to sit down and talk fitness, hard work, diet and about everything else.
What I loved about our conversation was how you could tell she cared about what she was doing and how she was passionate about helping people and passionate about her own goals. You can tell she loves what she does and loves helping those around her.
Loved talking about how she took the leap of faith and chased her dreams to be a trainer after she realized being trapped behind a desk wasn’t f...2016-09-011h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 039: Seth ConnellySeth was a fun interview and was super glad I got to talk to him before he moved to Virginia. We talked about a lot of fun stuff!
We talked about his experience with going to the CrossFit Games the last two years. What it is like seeing the all stars of the sport and then competing with them to become their friends.
Seth did a lot of his training while in college alone in his garage. There wasn’t a CrossFit where he was at, but it didn’t stop him from training.
Hope you all enjoy this episode of...2016-08-251h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 038: John GormanJohn Gorman is such a good guy! So much fun to talk to and has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to weight loss. In his busy schedule, he took the time to sit down with me, and we talked a little bit about everything: weight loss, writing books, relationships, starting his business and working hard for your dreams.
We also talked about his son Jay’s new business, the Phat Muscle Project. Be on the lookout for his apparel company. I got myself one of his shirts, and they are awesome.
John has also just released his sec...2016-08-081h 07RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 037: Chris BakerChris Baker was a fun podcast to record. We recorded this episode earlier in July but I have been a little out of pocket as of late and have just now got to post it. I apologize we have not had an episode every week for July. August will be better.
Chris Baker is a wellness coach for Cigna and is assigned to work with O’Reilly Auto Parts. This is where I work, so I have seen his post and comments at work through mail and newsletters and I know he would be a great guest on the show.
We t...2016-08-011h 04RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 036: Melody PettitThis was a fun interview. Melody is a down-to-earth person who has some fun stories! She is a morning anchor for KSPR in Springfield Missouri. She has also lost over 50 pounds and managed to keep the weight off over a year.
Melody, like myself, does not like to run, but we both know the importance of doing it. She has found joy in doing triathlons. I love that she really doesn’t have a training plan that she follows; she just knows that she needs to do work and puts it in. It works for her, and it’s what ke...2016-07-071h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 035: Rob BernetThis episode of the Unbroken Podcast I interviewed Rob Bernet. I enjoyed talking to him and left the interview feeling like I made a new friend. Rob is a graphic designer as his day job but understands the benefit of exercising and bettering himself. I’d be more than happy to look like Rob at his age.
When Rob was just a kid, he was small and skinny but tried out for football and, in his words, was not very good. So him and a friend on the back of a comic book saw an ad for a bodybuilding guide. Th...2016-06-3056 minRTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 034: Seth BrownThis was a fun podcast. Seth is the owner of Axom Performance. He is a very down-to-earth guy, and you can tell he loves what he does. I loved talking shop with him on the ins and outs of running a business that sells and rents rigs.
I Learned a lot about what kind of need there is for rigs. Not only for CrossFit gyms, but also Seth has seen more of the traditional gyms wanting to purchase a rig. Schools and hospitals are also wanting rigs for their employees and students.
Axom Performance also rents out rigs for competitions, and t...2016-06-2300 minRTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 033: Cara Dee StuckeSo grateful that Cara said yes when I asked her to be on the podcast. Such a cool interview. This has been one of my favorite episodes by far. Just hearing about some of the things she has overcome and her strength of will has inspired me so much.
Cara has lost over a hundred pounds and overcame cancer twice. We talked about how she had tried almost everything in the book to lose weight but nothing stuck. Then, she found out she had cancer. In her mind, she felt like her weight was the cause of the cancer. This put...2016-06-161h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 032: Tommy BarkerTommy Barker was a blast to have on the podcast. He is super inspirational and an awesome guy. Loved getting to know him better. It’s not everyday you get to sit down with a ninja and talk shop!
Tommy owns two martial arts studios, Kicking It Martial Arts, and has been practicing it for over 30 years. We talk about how he went from being an angry kid and almost being sent to military school to thriving with martial arts.
I know Tommy through CrossFit Republic, and we talk about how applying the tools he has learned through mentors and his...2016-06-091h 03RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 031: Ben DavisBen Davis has been an inspiration to me for a long time. His video, My 120 Pound Journey, is what got me started down the path of health over 5 years ago. Seeing someone change his life and start running got my butt off the couch and moving.
Ben has taken another journey as of late. He started a walk across the United States in Los Angeles, and he will end in Boston July 23rd. When I interviewed him May 21, he was in Columbia Missouri. I was so excited to drive up to meet him and talk to him about his adventures. We...2016-05-261h 01RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 030: Alissa MyersAlissa was someone I have always looked up to in the CrossFit world. She is a great coach and super strong. She was a coach at the gym where I started CrossFit. One day, she was talking about rope climbs to the class, and I said to someone under my breath, “I will never be able to do that.” She whipped around and told me that she will get me there.
I was excited to talk to Alissa, because she just recently lost quite a bit of weight to compete in an Olympic weight lifting competition. We got to talk a...2016-05-241h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 029: Eric JohnsonI was really excited when Eric said he would be on the podcast. I have known Eric since I started running 5 years ago. He helped me buy my first real pair of running shoes at The Starting Block, and I have been his friend on Facebook ever since. I have been able to follow some of his story and training since then.
Eric is the store manager of Ultramax in Springfield, Missouri. We talk about why he started running and training. He realized he was a natural at running, and it was something he was good at. This eventually translated into a...2016-05-1259 minRTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 028: Joe and Jacob HambyPart of the reason I love doing what I am doing now is that I get the opportunity to meet people like Jacob and Joe Hamby. They were just a really cool family of CrossFitters that I would see at local competitions. Me being who I am had to introduce myself to them and a quick friendship grew between me and the whole West Plains crew, especially the Hamby family.
So I had to sit down with these rock stars. Joe Hamby was one of the people who helped bring CrossFit to West Plains over 6 years ago. He brought his fami...2016-05-051h 02RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 027: Jeremy MhireHad the opportunity to sit down with Jeremy Mhire at his gym at CrossFit Springfield a few weeks ago and talk for an hour about a little bit everything. Jeremy was my first CrossFit coach when I started three years ago. I got to ask him what he thought when seeing someone who was super sedentary change their lifestyle and try something like CrossFit.
Jeremy was in a boy band in the early 2000’s called Plus One! It was fun to talk to him about how he got that opportunity and how being in that band translates into his coaching...2016-04-281h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 026: Jeff JonesJeff swore off three things after he got out of the Marines. Running, camping and shooting. Now he does those three things more than ever, especially running. I met Jeff 5 years ago when I started running with Nixa Running, and now, we are both Idiots in the Idiots Running Club.
In the last 5 years, Jeff has gone from running a 5k and then his first marathon to running several ultra marathons. We talk a lot about how Jeff has learned to listen to his body and become a better runner.
After completing several marathons, Jeff also talks about how to lo...2016-04-211h 06RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 025: Jessi NealIt is so cool to have 25 episodes of the podcast, and I am thrilled that this episode is with Jessi Neal. Some call her the mother of CrossFit in the southwest Missouri area. I got to sit down and get to know more about her.
Jessi was not always an athlete. She grew up playing music and was a music major playing the cello. Somehow, she found a love for theme park management and started perusing that career. She even learned how to drive a steam engine at Silver Dollar City. When she was interviewing for her dream job, she ha...2016-04-141h 04RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 024: Justin JonesI got to drive to Branson Missouri to record this podcast with a friend, Justin Jones. We were able to sit in the back office of Crossfit Branson and talk about what he has been doing!
Justin and I met through local athletic competitions. We talk about how he started a few competitions in southwest Missouri. We also discuss his day in the life of a firefighter and how he became one.
Justin and his wife are driven by goals and have accomplished many things. They were the owners of CrossFit Branson but have since sold the business to some ot...2016-04-071h 02RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 023: Chris BanksThis podcast was a lot of fun. Talking to a fellow Chris, you know it will be good! Chris is a chiropractor in Joplin Missouri at Carlson Chiropractic Center, and I took the opportunity to pick his brain regarding back health while trying to be healthy.
Love that he said that Crossfit has made him a better chiropractor. We talk about how sitting in chairs is killing us. We talk about how he gets the chance to help others with his love for fitness with his profession. We also talk about becoming a dad!
His is very passionate about fitness and h...2016-03-241h 00RTL - DéckkäppUnbroken Podcast 022: Justin OldsJustin Olds was a fun interview. He is the owner of CrossFit Jomo and the person who brought CrossFit to the Joplin area. We talk about his history of fitness, how he played college football and continued with training and training others after football ended.
We talk about what brought him to CrossFit from being a fitness professional in a traditional gym. The story behind CrossFit Jomo is pretty awesome and how his wife supported him in his goal to open a gym. They opened not too long after the Joplin tornado, and we talk about that as well.
Justin is...2016-03-1759 min
