I believe in getting things done and I believe in pushing people pass what they believe is possible.

I don't even mean physically, but I mean, you know, mentally and I mean in terms of work ethic. I believe there's always a little more and I

believe that sometimes you have to believe in someone more than they believe in

themselves to help them get further and to ultimately help your team and you get further.

So in that I've also learned that I push people sometimes too hard, oftentimes not hard at most

I'm like saying oftentimes not hard enough.

Mostly I push people but it's for a positive it's for a good outcome and oftentimes I do believe they appreciate it because at the end of the day they've grown from it too.

I believe in believing in people more than they sometimes believe in themselves and that means pushing them and that means pushing what's capable.

I'm Danneka Patrick and I'm pretty intense.

Today on the show is the fascinating, funny,

secretive, mysterious, deep, humble, and honorable Dave Castro.

He's the co-director of training and the games director

for Cross Fit.

He's somebody that I met years back after getting into Cross Fit

and going to the Cross Fit Games.

We just, you know, we had a really good deep conversation.

He's one of those guys that you don't always know a ton about and he's really private and some of that comes from you know just the type of person that he is but also being a Navy seal which is something that some people don't even know.

But he he really opened up today about, you know, his thoughts and his feelings and how the whole thing is gone with the boom of cross fit and opinions about him that have not always been positive.

And of course, just how he operates as a human, like just how he's doing during lockdown and how he feels and you know if this is something that he's into or not and and I felt like I learned a lot about Dave and of course don't for don't don't worry cross-fit fans we also get to hear about what might happen for the 20-20 games.

Dave thank you so much for doing the show.

Yeah, no problem.

So you're in LA right now?
