Afterburn Afterhours

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and embark on a journey that will elevate your fitness regime and warm your heart. As the seasons change and we navigate the erratic dance of temperatures, I'll reveal how to keep your workout momentum going strong—regardless of those chilly dawns that lead into blistering afternoons. Plus, we're in the homestretch of our transformation challenge, emphasizing not the finish line but the milestones along the way. If life's curveballs have thrown off your game, fear not. There's plenty of inspiration here to reignite that fire and maintain your stride.
Enter the humble hero of the athlete's arsenal: the sock. Our special guest, El Ruger of Soldier Socks, spins a yarn—in the literal sense—about transforming a simple act of kindness into a thriving business that not only changed the game for athletes but also brought comfort to the feet of our troops overseas. Discover why your sock drawer could be the secret weapon in your fitness toolkit, and listen to the heart-tugging tales behind the Thomas and Hester styles, named in honor of service members who inspire us all.
The spirit of service doesn't just stop at high-performance socks—our conversation explores partnerships with nonprofits like Triad on a Flight, which reminds us that sometimes, a pair of socks is more than just apparel; it's a salute to our veterans' dedication and sacrifice. As Soldier Socks expands its footprint and contemplates adding underwear to its arsenal, we reflect on the resilience required to navigate tumultuous times marked by COVID-19 and inflation. Join us for this stirring narrative that proves even in a world of giants, standing out is less about size and more about the heart behind the mission.
