This CEO's Guide to CrossFit, Longevity, and Balance | Brad Schmidgall | Episode 32

In this episode of the Silverback Media Podcast, host Marco Mejia sits down with Brad Schmidgall to talk about how CrossFit reshaped not just his fitness, but his approach to work, balance, and long-term sustainability in his career.Brad shares how his professional life was largely driven by intensity, output, and constant forward momentum — traits that served him well at work but eventually revealed limitations when applied without balance. Through CrossFit, he began to recognize the importance of recovery, consistency, and pacing, lessons that carried far beyond the gym.The conversation explores how training taught Brad to value sustainability over burnout, how learning to slow down actually improved performance, and why balance isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing the right things consistently. CrossFit became a framework for reassessing priorities, protecting energy, and showing up more fully in both career and life.Connect with Silverback MediaInstagram: @silver_back_media
