Hey, this is Michael Kaz, and on this podcast, I explore ways of living a more wholehearted and fulfilling life.

I believe in the saying that what is most personal is most universal. On this podcast, you will hear

personal stories of struggle and challenge and what I and my guests have learned from those

experiences. You will hear ideas and concepts that expand your mind on topics like personal

development, health, adventure, and sex and relationships. Above all, my intention is to bring a

depth of conversation and stories to connect more with my guest and with you.

Hello and welcome to the show. This is Michael Cashew. And today I've got my friend Ben Bergeron back on the show.

Ben is arguably the most successful CrossFit coach of all time, in my opinion, having coached

Katrin David's daughter to two CrossFit Games championships, Matt Frazier, Cole Sager, Brooke Wells, Amanda Barnhart,

and Moore. He's the founder of CrossFit New England and CompTrain. And in this episode,

we start out and throughout the episode, we talk a lot about his new book Unlocking Potential.

And we begin by him telling the story of his early days of leadership and

from his perspective not being so good, which I think is so fascinating because he's typically

seen as a stellar leader. That's one of the main things he's known for. We talk about the

importance of clarifying and codifying your values

in life and business and the most important part of running a successful organization, which is

building trust and how to build it. This was a fun episode, very educational. I had a blast and I hope

you enjoy. Please help me welcome Ben Bergeron.

This episode is brought to you by my newest project, Soul Searching Adventures.

These are wilderness connection experiences designed to help you get clarity in your life,

find deeper purpose, create better relationships, and become more comfortable and competent

in the wild.
