The “Okayest Coach” on finding purpose as a male military spouse and the essentials of good coaching | Guest: Toby Ralph

July 9, 2025 • 73 mins

Toby spent a decade as a first responder -- with all the stress and hazards those careers entail. Then, he left it all behind to marry a woman with a military career. Military families are used to not having control of a lot of the conditions of their lives, especially where they live and what kinds of jobs are available to spouses. A lifelong interest in fitness led to the kind of flexible work that this military spouse and dad was looking for. Now he's coaching remotely and trains clients in person, and has made their fitness his personal mission.
