Today on the podcast, I am  speaking to Dorian Shockey, an experienced strength and conditioning coach with over 19 years of experience in the fitness field. He owns and coaches at CrossFit Resurgens as part of his personal mission to create a servant community, which values the interest of everyone and not of self.
Dorian joins us today to talk about his journey towards purpose. He shares the challenges and obstacles that he overcame along the road.
