Josh Lueker, Josh Belmont, and Greg Settle have a chat with us about their organization Broken Together! Broken Together was created with the intent to get veterans outdoors on the trails to experience places and events alongside other veterans. It stands to help them know that they are not alone in anything they may be struggling with or going through. It was a great conversation, and definitely worth your time to listen to.

Hear about his beginnings in fitness, where he's at now, and what his passions include. Also some notes about how to treat race directors (Hint: with kindness) and maybe he can even travel back in time.....or forwards...we aren't really sure!
