In this special episode, I’m sharing a compilation of some of my favorite conversations with five of the most decorated athletes in CrossFit Games history: Rich Froning, Tia-Clair Toomey, Mat Fraser, Katrin Davidsdottir, and Annie Thorisdottir. These episodes span the past ten years of the podcast—starting with my very first recording ever, with Rich Froning. It’s been incredible to reflect on how much the show has evolved, and even more powerful to revisit the insights these champions shared. We talk about their mindset towards competition and pressure: what drove them to the top of the sport, what continues to fuel their training, and the habits behind their success. Whether you’ve been following the podcast from the beginning or just tuning in, I hope you enjoy this look back at some of the most inspiring conversations I’ve had with the Fittest on Earth.
