Welcome to the True North Podcast, where we explore the minds of the people who have propelled my career as a professional in the health and fitness space. Join me as I chat with athletes of all varieties, medical professionals, and like-minded individuals to gain valuable insights for how to optimize athletic performance, combat injury, and improve lifestyle mindset.
Dr. Grayson Wickham is a doctor of physical therapy, a certified stength and conditioning specialist, and the founder of Movement Vault, an app that is highly effective in helping people achieve mobility and flexibility gains. Grayson is a joint mobility specialist and the goal with is work is to help prevent and fix joint pain and injury, and to improve performance using Movement Vault's effective active stretching methodology.
We discuss some of the confusion around the topic of mobility, the differences between mobility and flexibility, why active stretching yields better results than static stretching, and much more.

Ep.#28 - The Patriot Ruck Part 2 "Debrief" - Travis Smith x Big Sky Bravery
Impactful. It has been the word constantly repeated when describing The Patriot Ruck, which began on 9:10am May 25th, and completed at 9:18am May 26th, 2024.
24 HOURS
54 miles with a 55# ruck
112,038 steps
$16,703 raised to support Big Sky Bravery and active duty special operations forces
🇺🇸
Impactful indeed.
The stories and layers within this epic display of physical and mental toughness has greatly impacted those who were involved and who had the honor of witnessing. There is no doubt lives will continue to be changed by Travis Smith’s vision and desire to make a difference.
Travis Smith, Seth Thomas (BSB Vice President of Development), Allyson Keller (BSB Director of Marketing), and I recount the events and inside stories as we experienced it. Travis vulnerably shares his personal story that gives a deeper understanding to his reason behind The Patriot Ruck.

Ep.#27 - The Patriot Ruck Part 1 - Travis Smith
The Patriot Ruck is a 24 hour physical task Travis Smith, an army veteran, designed specifically to challenge his physical and mental limits. Why? To appropriately honor the sacrifices made by the active duty special operations forces (SOF).
The goal is to raise $10,000 for Big Sky Bravery, a non-profit organization that benefits SOF recipients by providing them with a weeklong post-deployment decompression program in Montana’s restorative surroundings. The funds donated to the Patriot Ruck will provide 10 flights for the SOF community.
This is Part 1 of 2 episodes. In Part 1, I get the opportunity to sit down with Travis prior to the ruck to discuss his motivation and “why” for this incredible feat. We discuss the challenges foreseen and his thought process leading up to this event. Following the completion of the Patriot Ruck, we’ll sit down again to debrief.
The Patriot Ruck will happen on May 25th, 2024 launching from Big Sky Bravery in Bozeman, Montana, and a secondary checkpoint location at Prime Performance and Physio.
