Walk With Weight: Michael Easter On The Evolutionary Case For Rucking, Building Real Resilience & How To Stay Adventure-Ready For Life

Michael Easter is a New York Times bestselling author, UNLV professor, and the mind behind “Walk With Weight.”

This conversation explores rucking, the evolutionary movement pattern humans are built for that modern fitness has largely overlooked. We discuss why it affects body composition differently, how GPS navigation impacts cognition, and why optimization culture can undermine resilience.

Plus, he challenges my assumptions about comfort zones.

Michael's insights are practical, contrarian, and rooted in science and experience. Enjoy!
