Justin Smith is the founder of Wild Edge Performance, where he trains NFL athletes in the offseason and helps new dads get back into peak health.

In today's episode, Justin walks us through his non-traditional journey to becoming a performance trainer for some of the best athletes in the world. His story has a handful of interesting stops along the way, including being a dolphin trainer, taking an unpaid internship at 30 years old, and being in a 3-year long-distance relationship when he took his first paid college strength training gig.

Throughout all of the stops along the way, one thing stands out in Justin's story. He consistently followed the things that called to him (biology, faith, and athletic performance), and was willing to do whatever it took in order to build a life around pursuing those callings.

Key Moments and Takeaways:

- Training dolphins and sea lions to run recon missions

- Falling in love with training & taking an unpaid internship

- Taking an internship at The University of Oregon at 30

- How do you leave a community you feel at home in?

- Taking big opportunities off of a pedestal

- Growing together with your partner

- The ripple effects of impacting people through coaching

- Founding Wild Edge Performance

Justin is one of the people that have the "It Factor" that leaves you fired up about chasing your dreams after spending time with him. I hope it comes through in this episode, and that he inspires you to pursue the thing that calls at you.

Thanks for listening.
