Spencer Nix, Owner of Behavior & Performance Research

1h 22m · Between the Ears · 20 Mar 11:00

Spencer Nix, owner and chief researcher of Behavior & Performance Research joins us to discuss his 20+ year journey in the fitness industry. Spencer discusses his journey from a CrossFit affiliate owner for over a decade to the creation of BPR, which combines behavior and identity coaching with fitness and performance. Spencer shares many of the similar sentiments as we do at BTE, so a connection was bound to happen.

Spencer has been in this space for a long time and actually one of my L1 instructors way back when I took my first CF L1 in 2010. He is a wealth of knowledge but it is his heart, passion, and authenticity that impresses and inspires us the most. 

This episode is packed with gems and like all good conversations, the hardest part was finishing it. Til next time.

A DØSE of Novelty to Expand Your Mind + Body

K and Bill chat about the DØSE and what goes into creating novel and powerful experiences using challenging workouts as the mechanism to expand the mind. 

This chat explores some of what led them to not just create the DØSE, but BTE as a whole, including their experience as long time CrossFit Affiliate owners, and how a beautiful and powerful 3 part, 5 word mantra is maybe the ultimate benefit people experience by engaging in DØSE and BTE as a whole.

Carleen Matthews, CF Games Athlete + Affiliate Owner

Carleen Matthews is an early adopter to both CrossFit and our DØSE program. Carleen  is a mother, affiliate owner, Games athlete and a person who "wants in" on all things mindset. She shares her beginnings of CrossFit, after becoming sober in 2010, and her journey to and through competing at the CrossFit Games. We dig into the delicate line between being committed to the training process and what can easily become obsessive behavior and how she has used 'mindset' in getting to know her WHO. Carleen will be partaking in The Big Fish fundraising event June 9th that will last 30 hours to support veterans along with some of our other BTE friends Vincent Ruiz and Street Parking founders Miranda and Julian Alcaraz.

Karl Steadman, CrossFit OG, Flowmaster, Affiliate Liason

If there was ever a CrossFit OG, Karl Steadman is it. Karl discovered CrossFit in 2003 and was immediately drawn to its counter-culture 'alternative' approach to not fitness but more importantly, a 'career' path. With curiosity and novelty driving his pursuits, Karl has dedicated his professional life to sharing the impacts of CrossFit with others. He has been an affiliate owner, has delivered over 400 CrossFit seminars, and now is the UK affiliate liaison for CrossFit HQ. In this episode we hear about his experience with the Dose, his relationship to 'doing hard things', and how he navigates fitness today. With 20 years under his belt, Karl continues to evolve and shares what 'getting better' looks like for him.
