51. Todd Widman | Leadership has to be selfless and genuine

Todd Widman got hooked on CrossFit when he was a captain in the Marine Corps. As a flowmaster on CrossFit’s Seminar Staff, he says he finds his job highly rewarding. Likewise, he encourages everyone in the community to give coaching a try before shouldering the responsibility of owning an affiliate. “When you give people the power of doing something—a pull-up, a push press, a squat, whatever it is—they figure out that they can do that by their will. They can then start to take care of this,” Widman says, pointing with both index fingers to his head. He adds: “I love that stuff because they realize that they’re still in control of their life, that it’s not just all downhill for the rest of their life. It’s shocking and humbling and beautiful.” Support Todd: @todds_gym Rate/subscribe in Apple Podcasts!  Find us on Instagram: @besthouroftheirday + @thejasonackerman Check out our website - besthouroftheirday.com
