Summary

In Episode 174 I sit down with Russ Torgerson. Russ and I connected when he recently attended Guns and Gis last August. His story is fascinating as he was a coast guard rescue swimmer for more than a decade and then made the switch to being a coast guard pilot. He conducted the same missions but now just filled a different position inside the helicopter. Russ recently retired and reflected on his incredible journey of true service to this nation helping so many people during the worst day of their lives. Like many retired veterans Russ is now putting a tremendous focus on jiu jitsu and finds that has become a powerful source of friendship, camaraderie and purpose since retiring. I really enjoyed spending some time with this incredible human and am sure you will to! Please enjoy episode 174 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.

So we got a good show coming at you like we do every week. We got to touch on a couple of

administrative things and the show will begin momentarily. Remember, guys, if you would like to support

0:20.0

the show, go to

0:20.9

theelectric north.com. That is my Jiu-Zitsu Academy website. That is where you can find our hats,

stickers, rash guards, t-shirts, all the different apparel items. Guys, in November, we are releasing

We're first brought to you by Element.

And Element is spelled L-M-N-T.

0:50.5

And what Element is, it is a grab-and-go electrolyte hydration packet that you add to a bottle of water.

0:56.8

There is zero sugar in these things.

Each packet contains 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, and 60 milligrams of magnesium.

1:05.0

And these were designed to be used during or after rigorous physical activity.

1:09.6

As you guys know, I'm a jihitsutzu-guy. When you're on the mats,

1:12.6

you're wearing your ghee that's hot and you're sweating a ton, you lose a lot of electrolytes.

1:17.1

And those electrolytes need to be replenished for optimal performance. Now, how do we replenish those?
