Engearment Podcast Sean Sewell and Jim Lamacusa of Cusa Tea
Jim is the owner of Cusa Tea and an avid outdoor lover. I have been a fan of Jim's business ethics and tea for the last few years. He goes over the creation story of his business, how he used a unique process to create an instant tea that is so good that it has won international awards - against non-instant teas!
We chat about how he has grown Cusa Tea to become a major brand that is REI and grocery stores all over. How he has used actionable tactics that other business owners can implement and benefit from. Making the most of the COVID-19 situation, with various SBA tactics, and pivoting to serve the customer.
We also talk about mountain fitness, backcountry skiing and our love of mountains. He has skied Ranier and Himilian peaks, as well as some big lines here in Colorado. This is a fun chat with a great guy!

Engearment Podcast Sean Sewell and Jeremy Anton Anderson - Professional Skier, Father and Business Owner
Jeremy is an inspiring person. He is a sponsored skier with Weston, a business owner, model, father, and very active man.
In this episode, despite the technical issues with restricted bandwidth! LOL, we cover some insightful ideas on how we can all do better during this pandemic. Whether it is from a family perspective, an outdoor athlete perspective or a small business owner. He was recently in Chile with our friend Rafael Pease (check out his 2 podcasts and his IG account!) to film an amazing environmental/epic ski mountaineering movie. We cover all of that in this fun conversation.
Interestingly, we were going to probably do this interview in person, at the Front Range Splitfest that would have been this weekend. But, we adapt and make the most of the situation. Enjoy this lively and inspiring chat.

Engearment Podcast Sean Sewell and Ryan Humphries of Axistence Athletics
This is round 2 of having my good friend Ryan on the Engearment Podcast.
Ryan is the co-owner of one of the best gyms in the Denver area - one that I really appreciate and home of several great certification courses. A few months ago, we went through the StrongFirst SFL (StrongFirst Lifter) certification with the wonderful Doc Hartle (check out the podcast with Doc a month ago for some great insights!).
The last Podcast guest - Matthew Flaherty - will be hosting the Flexible Steel certification at Axistence Athletics in September 2020. So, Ryan is at the forefront of fitness and health education.
Not only is he a big brain, but he also has one of the biggest hearts in the industry. As a retired Navy serviceman and an avid outdoorsman, he is a true leader in the field.
We always have a great time talking about how to better serve our students, what is at the forefront of education and we are not afraid to let loose on some strong opinions.
This is the second quarantined interview too. I think in this unique time of social distancing and uncertainty, it is refreshing to have an open and real discussion with a fellow fitness pro and a heck of a great man.

Engearment Podcast with Sean Sewell - Rafael Pease - Connections Movement, Splitboard Mountaineer
Rafael is one of my favorite people. He stops by the Engearment studio for his 2nd podcast on his way back to Chile to edit 2 of his upcoming Nat Geo documentaries.
We talk about the challenges of summiting a 21K Chilean volcano in the middle of winter. Fighting for public access to the beautiful mountains of Chile. Government censorship and control. The adventures that went into making these films. And so much more.
He tests gear in the craziest conditions and is an Engearment OG partner. Truly, he is one of a kind!
It is a lively conversation and full of unedited dialog (not safe for work or kids!). He is truly inspiring and fighting the good fight.
