I started this podcast because I am very interested in dissecting the mindset of those I find to be extraordinary.  A while back, I came across a quote that read "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra."  It sounds humorous but I am fascinated by those who live life giving that little bit extra in everything they do.  With that said, here is my first episode with Zach Barther. Zach is one of my best friends and we share the same passion for training and forming healthy habits; overall hoping to maximize our lifestyles.  He is currently in year one of chiropractic school at Palmer College in Port Orange, Florida.  During this conversation, Zach emphasizes the profound impact jiu jitsu has had on his life, his unique training style, and finding a diet that works for him.  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
