In the latest episode, I speak with Brian Littlefield CEO & Co-Founder of OriginLabs and Jocko Fuel and Co-Host of the podcast Hands & Daylight

We dig into starting out in building and car racing teams, to reclaiming his personal health creating a passion and deep interest in scientific studies for nutrition. This placed the seed to evolve into joining Origin to launch a supplement line from making of a supplement. How the corporate principles of integrity and quality and manufacturing are applied to the ingredients used to formulate the products Origin offers. The introduction of Jocko Willink to Origin

Brian provides great tips on how to ‘trust but verify’ the ingredients in the supplements you take, why proprietary ingredients and formulations is not synonymous with quality, leading a profitable business that is led by integrity and HOW you do things matters more than HOW MUCH you make.

We briefly discuss the focus on ‘Made in the USA’ as a core thread across all their lines of business even when the choice might reduce the margins or sales volumes.

How the Podcast can Help You

On The Rest & Recovery Podcast, you will learn from some of the foremost professionals and experts on the best ways to help you rest & recover. My hope is that you can bring your best self to life in your fitness pursuits, marriage, or as a parent to ensure your one life is lived well. The idea of the podcast came from a personal mission to help bring my best self to all things in my life.

My initial goal was to improve on my fitness pursuits as an endurance runner. However, as I began to examine the various components of my life, I realized some of the challenges started with some bad habits dating back to my 20’s. I would just keep going to work, college, and into late nights with friends with little sleep or consideration for the effects it was having on my body, mind, and spirit. It would always catch up with me and I would end up sick. This didn’t really stop over the years…the burn-out…it just occurred for different reasons.
Yes, I matured…a little… yet now I was married and a growing family with 3 little girls, a corporate job and still trying to pursue endurance sport’s goals. Up until a few years ago, I burned out in every way possible - physically and emotionally and mentally to the point I went into a season of ambiguity, indifference under performance devolving into depression. Since then, I have been on a journey to reclaim my life for myself and my family. This helped me learn about a variety of influencers that can help enable the proper level of rest and recovery to ensure I could show up with strength and stability.

My hope is my personal discovery story, along with the people from all walks of life discussing the various approaches, will lead you to the proper rest and recovery. So join me in the journey to learn how to live this one life to the fullest!
