He doesn’t sit down, lay down, or back down, but this 54-year-old carpenter can definitely get down.   It was great to see Hanger once again as a guest on Season 4 of Tough as Nails.  We were also blessed to have him as a guest on the More Than Tough podcast.  Catch up with Hanger as he shares his experiences on Tough as Nails, managing his dyslexia, overcoming depression, and his journey to becoming a carpenter.  Thanks for listening!

Here are two links about dyslexia that Hanger provided us with to share:

It's hard not to be impressed with the accomplishments of Merryl "The Dragon Lady" Tengesdal.   Long before she was a fierce competitor on Tough as Nails Season 2, Merryl was a Navy and Air Force pilot, instructor, and commander attaining the rank of colonel and becoming the only black female to fly the U2 reconnaissance aircraft.  Add to the list mother, wife, personal trainer, and author of her autobiography Shatter the Sky.  Join us to gain some insight into getting motivated, finding inspiration, overcoming whatever life throws at you and share some laughs.

You can purchase Merryl's autobiography, Shatter the Sky, on Amazon: Shatter the Sky: What going to the stratosphere taught me about self-worth, sacrifice, and discipline

Are you ready for a recharge!  Well, you’ve come to the perfect podcast.  Today’s guest is Kelsy Reynolds and she is a real-life Energizer Bunny!  She is a helicopter pilot, all-around handy lady, and competitor from Tough as Nails Season 3.

Just a quick note, there are a few glitches in our recordings, but perfection isn't happening in my lifetime.  It doesn't have to be perfect to be worthwhile, as much beauty can be found in our flaws.  Best just to embrace life and choose joy along the journey.
