Misfit Podcast

In this episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige walk through Open Prep / Phase 3 — what it is, why it’s structured the way it is, and how athletes should actually execute it.They cover:How to choose the right program and trackWhy stimulus matters more than chasing scoresHow to use gears, instructions, and athlete IQ properlyMandatory vs non-mandatory work (and how to personalize)The role of accessory work, volume, and repetitionWhy buying into the narrative of Open Prep actually mattersThis episode is part programming breakdown, part coaching philosophy — and a reminder that execution, not just fitness, determines results.If you’re heading into the Open, Quarterfinals, or just want to train with more intention, this is required listening.------------------------------Misfits!

This week’s Misfit Mind is a reminder that progress isn’t found in novelty, it’s found in consistency.Inspired by a quote from investor Howard Marks, this episode breaks down the trap of constantly starting over: new programs, new routines, new plans, all chasing the feeling that this one will finally be different.Whether we’re talking about training, business, relationships, or life, the hard truth is the same:It’s always going to be hard.It just doesn’t have to be start–stop hard.In this episode, I unpack:Why jumping from “bus stop to bus stop” kills long-term progressHow dopamine, beginner gains, and shiny objects keep us stuckWhy staying on the path is harder, and why that’s the pointHow to use past consistency as proof you can stay the course againIf you want to enjoy the view, you’ve got to keep climbing.Log the hours. Stay on the path.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.

In this episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige unpack why most people struggle to change — even when they want to — and why motivation alone almost always fails.Using the Tiny Habits framework, they talk through:Why starting smaller actually leads to bigger resultsHow identity changes before outcomes doThe role of trust, reassurance, and celebration in behavior changeWhy “helping” friends and family often backfiresHow to build habits without judgment — for yourself or othersThis episode is especially relevant during the holidays, when conversations about fitness, nutrition, and “getting back on track” are unavoidable.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by trying to do everything at once — or frustrated watching someone you care about struggle — this one provides a better way forward.------------------------------Misfits!

In this episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew takes a deeper dive into this week’s Misfit Mind post through the lens of Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse.Most people don’t fail from lack of effort.They fail because they need the work to end.Using examples from training, sport, business, and creative work, this episode explores the difference between playing to win and playing to continue—and why applying finite expectations to infinite pursuits leads to burnout, frustration, and unnecessary quitting.Rules change.Bodies change.Life changes.If you’re still playing the game, adaptability isn’t optional—it’s the whole point.This is a short-form, reflective episode meant to challenge how you frame progress, setbacks, and long-term growth—and to remind you that the goal isn’t finishing. It’s staying in it long enough to matter.See you there, Misfits.------------------------------Misfits! We hope you enjoyed this episode.

It’s about decision-making under stress, learning when to pull back, and rebuilding momentum after things don’t go as planned.Whether you’re a Games athlete, a competitive CrossFitter, or someone trying to balance ambition with longevity, this conversation hits deeper than the leaderboard.------------------------------Misfits!
