Jeff Scott: Where Does College Football Go From Here ?

Jeff Scott is a name synonymous with football excellence.  Born and raised with a football pedigree, he has made a profound impact on the world of college football. He is a mentor, a strategist, and a leader who has helped shape countless young athletes into champions on and off the field.
Jeff and I discuss the state of college football today, the massive transformation of recruiting & player retention due to the transfer portal and NIL, and what the next 5 years is likely to look like on the CFB landscape.  
Jeff's career includes stints as Head Coach at South Florida as well as Co-Offensive Coordinator at Clemson University, where he played an instrumental role in transforming their football program into a national powerhouse. His excellence as a recruiter, dedication to player development, and his innovative coaching strategies have left an indelible mark on the sport.
Beyond the X's and O's, Jeff Scott is a dedicated husband and father as well as a man of faith, character and integrity. He's known for his faith, instilling important life lessons in his players,  and teaching them the values of discipline & resilience well beyond the football field.

Josh Ortegon: Training for Performance

Josh is the founder of PHNM Brand Fitness & Nutrition and is the director of performance for their online coaching & nutritional consulting services. He has worked with all levels of athletes from MLB & NFL players to high school athletes preparing for the college recruiting cycle.
Josh and I spend a lot of time in this conversation discussing high school athletes & the recruiting process, what it takes to make it to the next level, as well as how training should progress as we age and continue to take on new physical challenges. There is a huge difference between the 40-50 year old on the couch watching Netflix vs the person continuing to challenge themselves physically and pushing to reach their full potential regardless of age.
Josh now works with all populations in the development of their fitness goals. As a Precision Nutrition Level 1 coach he specializes in the area of weight loss, body composition management, & strength training. Prior to PHNM Josh was the co-founder of Athlete's Arena Sport Performance and Cross-Fit in Columbia, SC.
He graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in exercise science and interned at the renowned IMG Academies to further his practical application in the field of strength and conditioning. #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #humanperformance #fitness #nutrition #onlinecoaching #huntingfitness #recruitment #recruiting #functionalfitness

Josh Smith - Forging a Brand Without Compromise

 
Josh Smith is the founder and CEO of Montana Knife Company, one of the most respected and fastest growing outdoor brands in the marketplace.  
Josh is a master craftsman and as a boy learned to make custom knives. He became the youngest person ever to pass the Journeyman test at the age of 15 and at 19 became the youngest Master Smith in the world.  
I am amazed at the tenacity and grit it took for Josh to manifest his vision over the course of 20 years into a highly respected and sought after brand. MCK knife-drops typically sell out in just a few hours. The latest drop, the Hellgate Hatchet, was one of the most anticipated and sold out in under 4 minutes. 
Josh's long journey of making MKC a reality is very much like the process of developing a finely honed blade. You can't rush it and you have to be committed to the process. There are no shortcuts and no one is clapping for you when the hard work is being done. It takes a long time to create something so special that it generates not only a great product, but one that is in high demand.
There are a lot of people wondering how Montana Knife Company blew up overnight. The truth is that Josh Smith has been forging this brand for over 20 years without compromise.
