I can’t make it down to NC for the 2023 AOF, so I instead get caught up in my feels and find my 10 favorite photos from NAOF 2022.
Brain Strong with Bex
It has been a MINUTE!
Today, I am joined by Bex, a therapist and weightlifter as we talk about trauma, depression, and other mental health issues AND weightlifting.
There are a quite a few times where I get pretty emotional, and as a warning, this is a heavy episode. I hope you enjoy!
Being Human with Mary and Casey Lappen
This one was so fun. Mary, Casey and I sit down in the Iron Pit gym and talk bowling, golf, relationships, doing laundry, and moving down to Indiana. I hope you love it.
Changes After ASD Diagnosis with Rae
Rae and I sit down to talk about changes in our day-to-day lives since I have been diagnosed with ASD. This episode is about our personal experiences and if you need help, please talk to a doc and see someone for help.
On the Spectrum with Soete
Soete takes over the Pod (unintentionally) and we talk about my experiences with being autistic.
It gets pretty vulnerable, but I hope you enjoy. Note that this episode was recorded before I received my formal diagnosis.
Wisconsin Weightlifting with Soete
Soete (also known as Alyssa) and I talk about our last competition that we did up in La Crosse. We also share our thoughts on the new structure of the WSO and all things weightlifting. I hope you enjoy.

Wil Fleming has been the sport for a LONG time. He shares his insights into how the sport has changed in America and how he sees the future of weightlifting (Olympic or not).
Talkin' 'Bout the Arnold with Jerry Sanchez
Jerry Sanchez and I talk about broken camera shutters, film, the North American Opens Series 1, the fundamentals of photography. And a ton of other things.
Jerry is new to photography and it was really awesome to hear his perspective on photography and weightlifting in general.
Buying Cameras without Breaking the Bank with Stew
Stew and I chat about our recent camera upgrades and how we think is best to go about purchasing new camera equipment.
I feel as though this is an important topic because so many folks either buy camera equipment that is either too sophisticated for their needs or - very simply - more than they require.
We also talk about getting started with photography and how to maximize your experience with starting.
A Conversation with Christina Richards
This week, I was so happy to have my friend on the podcast. Christina is a badass with a ton her plate and competes at the national level for Catalyst Athletics. We talk weightlifting, food, coaching, and other random, awesome fun stuff.
Documenting the CrossFit Games
Just me this week and I talk about my experience documenting the CrossFit Games. I talk about getting credentialed, learning on the fly, and pissing off Dave Castro.
I hope you enjoy.
The Outsider, featuring Whit
I sit down and have a chat with my sister-in-law, Whit, about weightlifting. I wanted to record this episode to show how someone who has nothing to do with weightlifting perceives the weightlifting world and it was a BLAST. We talk about the history of weightlifting and when women became part of the strength sport and weightlifting world.
I sincerely hope you enjoy.
A Love Letter to Texas Weightlifting, featuring Adam White and Kenny Wilkins
Adam White, Kenny Wilkins and I sit down after the Texas State Champs to talk about what makes Texas weightlifting incredible. We talk about the history, the olympians, and all of the things that make Texas weightlifting incredible.
Memories and a Cat with Jules Riotto
Jules and I talk about her experiences at the OTC (RIP) and she compares her experiences of Junior Worlds (2018) to Senior Worlds (2021). Featuring her Cat.
Catching Up with Jake Derse
Jake is the bomb. We chat about how he helped transform MKE Barbell into a recognizable club to most of the US crowd and quite a few international giants. He basically revived a club that was on the verge of collapse in 2018 to a thriving, growing, diverse club.
I hope you enjoy.
Stew and Will, Live from AOFinals
Stew and I give our predictions on what Worlds holds (before I departed) and our views on AO Finals, where we were.
Thanks for listening.
