In this episode of No Excuse to Miss Podcast, Scott Volquartsen and Chad Wittrock speak to Joshua Coburn all about the importance of taking small steps when we feel that we have hit our rock bottom. Now the owner of the successful business Dissident Cigars, Joshua discusses that this success was born from hitting his own low point and coming to the decision of taking responsibility for his life and all that came with it– the good and the bad.

44. Take The Small Steps w/Joshua Coburn

In this episode of the No Excuse to Miss Podcast, Scott Volquartsen speaks to the inspiring and motivational boxing trainer, Heather Hernandez. Scott and Heather kick off the episode by diving into Heather’s background as an athlete with an “all in” mentality. Although she played sports throughout her collegiate career, boxing is something she found a passion for after college. Being told she was a natural, Heather was even invited to train for Olympic boxing. However, what every athlete seems to fear happened– Heather suffered a career-ending injury. Having her “all in” attitude ingrained in her for so long, her injury did not keep her down, but rather propelled her into the next chapter of her life– coaching others. Scott and Heather further the discussion by hitting on business ideas that value individuality. When putting people first in business Heather says, “the way you interact with people can get you much further than a degree and a piece of paper.” Heather adds to the conversation by sharing her thoughts on how the pandemic has shaped her gym and coaching business, how her injuries have affected her interactions with clients, and how the mental side of recovery is just as important as the physical. Scott and Heather wrap up the conversation by speaking about the future and Heather even launching a podcast of her own. Connect with Heather! Instagram: @heatherhernandez.lv Connect with Scott!

The "No Excuse to Miss Podcast" aims to share the stories of incredible individuals who strive for excellence as an essential part of their lives. We seek out the defining moments, decisions, and takeaways that are applicable to the lives of others.

In this episode of No Excuse to Miss Podcast, Scott Volquartsen speaks to the “Fittest Man on Earth,” himself, Mat Fraser. Scott and Mat start the discussion by paying homage to Mat’s time in Olympic weightlifting training and how it was upended by an intense back injury. Not letting this stop him, Mat explains how adversity fueled him to recover and instilled in him the “not leaving anything to ‘What if?’” attitude that propelled him into a successful career of Crossfit competition. With an empowering sense of self-awareness fueling him, Mat further discusses how retiring from Crossfit competition led to a transition in business that was project-filled to keep his idle hands busy. That same mantra of “leaving nothing to chance” followed him in business and created the customer experience for the launch of “Hard Work Pays Off” (HWPO). Mat and Scott round out the conversation reflecting on the idea that in business, we strive for progress over perfection, emphasizing the idea that there is always something to make better.

38. Evolution of Aftermarket Parts w/Scott Volquartsen

Derek Woodske

In this episode of No Excuse to Miss Podcast, Scott welcomes Derek Woodske. The sports industry is the main topic of the conversation and Derek gives us a very thorough perspective on how to create results to stay relevant and active in this field, how to supplement nutrition in order to feel more physically sharp (hint: less is more), and the do’s and dont’s of exercising, performance, and athletics. Derek also explains the behind the scenes of becoming a coach, instead of being coached and which circumstances inspired him to make this transition. You will also listen to Derek’s opinion on the ego: it could be viewed as a bad and vain aspect of our personality, but the ego sometimes can actually serve us and assist us on dealing with how we show up to the world and to ourselves.
