Summary
Drug addict. Alcoholic. Powerlifter. Entrepreneur. And doughnut connoisseur! Krissy Mae Cagney has overcome nearly a decade of alcohol and substance abuse by diving head first into her own form of recovery that involves more barbells than a twelve step program. She has accomplished so much in such a short period of time all the while battling her own addiction demons. Living clean, sober and strong is her forte these days with her husband and dogs either in the gym or the great outdoors.
"I do not know wha the future will hold, but I am passionate about all my endeavors" is a quote from Krissy's bio on her website, Krissy Mae Cagney. This is such a powerful connection to the ever forward life, in that while we may not know what certainties we have in life we do know the power in our application of our passion.

| 0:00.0 | Episode 15 with Donuts and Deadlist founder, competitive powerlifter, |
| 0:05.8 | an owner of Black Iron Gym, Chrissy Mae Cagney. |

| 0:20.1 | I am your host, Chase Tuning, and this is Ever Forward Radio. |
| 0:28.4 | Episode 15, I can't believe we made it so far. |

| 0:37.2 | and it's only been just a couple |
| 0:39.0 | months. Today's guest is especially inspiring because not only is amazing the progress and |
| 0:45.2 | success that she has had thus far in her powerlifting career, her entrepreneurship, her business, |
| 0:51.3 | but really as an individual and the dark valleys that she has had to |
| 0:57.0 | climb out of to reach such a great level of success. I couldn't think of anyone who has worked as hard or who has earned this as much as Chrissy May Cagney. |
| 1:07.0 | For any of you who have experienced or know anyone who has gone through a substance or alcohol abuse, |
| 1:13.6 | you know the darkness that surrounds that. |
| 1:16.6 | And for someone to be as involved as she was and still in the fitness community speaks in and of itself of the amount of mental fortitude and just perseverance and grit that I really |
| 1:29.7 | think she possesses that has really helped her land on her feet and find that barbell salvation. |
| 1:36.3 | So before we get into the interviews, I wanted to go back in to do another iTunes podcast |
| 1:41.4 | review of the week. Again, thank you guys for consistently dropping these ratings and reviews. |
