Welcome to a new episode of Game 7: The Sports, Business and Lifestyle Podcast. I’m Michael Elkins, labor and employment attorney, founder of the law firm MLE Law, and your host.
My guest this month is Noah Ohlsen, the second fittest man on earth and a six-time competitor at the CrossFit Games, finishing second in 2019. In 2016, he finished number one in the world during the CrossFit Games qualifier known as The Open … that’s number one out of approximately 324,000 competitors!
In addition to his competitive accomplishments, Noah’s a leader in the CrossFit and fitness community at large, lending his voice to issues beyond just the sport of fitness and athletics.
In this episode, Noah and I talk about the social and practical issues facing not only his sport, but this country at large. We also talk about life, empathy, vulnerability, stoicism, business and much more.
Noah is candid, forthright, articulate and has an emotional EQ that is off the charts. What comes through most in this conversation is that Noah is so much more than an athlete. He is truly a good human being, and we need more public figures like him in the world today!
Whether you're a fan of sports, business or social issues there is something in this conversation for everyone. So sit back, and listen to my conversation with Noah Ohlsen.
For those wondering, yes, we talk about Maximus as well! 🐶

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
