| 7/27/26 |  Cody Townsend: The Moment I Realized My Ego Was Dangerous | MTNPOD #178 | Cody Townsend joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast for a raw conversation on evolving from ego-driven free-riding to mature risk management, knowing when to turn around, and finding deeper mental toughness through suffering. He opens up about the death of friends that forced a mindset shift, completing 46 of the 50 classic ski descents, raising a son while staying in the mountains, training his “mountain-proof” body through strength work and trail running, and the alarming impact of climate change on skiing and public lands. Cody also shares why he believes hunters and anglers are the best conservationists and how storytelling can inspire more people to protect wild places.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

| 7/21/26 |  Always Ready 50+ | Stay Strong & Hunt Longer After 50 | Randy Newberg sits down with MTNTOUGH coaches Sarah Maschino and Nick Bechtold to break down the brand-new Always Ready 50+ program. Designed for hunters and active adults over 50 (but perfect for anyone rebuilding after injury, desk life, or time off), this 12-week, 3-day-per-week plan focuses on strength, balance, mobility, and progressive conditioning without the beat-down. They discuss building a “fitness buffer” for longevity, training around common aches and injuries, the difference between motivation and discipline, and real stories of older hunters reclaiming bucket-list adventures. Practical, honest, and life-changing — this is how you stay dangerous for decades.V I D E O S TO W A T C H N E X T🐐 MTNTOUGH Hunting & Feature Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNUyFQjco9eFTVUIBWJ3_x4n-R2mBwzYw🧪 MTNTOUGH LAB Visits (We Take All Our Podcast Guests Out Of Their Comfort Zone): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNUyFQjco9eFCubYhEQntQexFEmT7BMkl🥵 MTNTOUGH Challenge Workouts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNUyFQjco9eG2Q69GAR9st2U-4oK0Whlq💪 Free MTNTOUGH Workouts & Protocols: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNUyFQjco9eGBSuC3fHqjP8mf50CDENA1S U P P O R T O U R S P O N S O R S: 💊 Get 20% off MTNTOPS Supplements, Use Code "MTNTOUGH" Here at checkout: https://mtn-ops.sjv.io/LXkPE🐏 Get Your First Month of MTNTOUGH Free Use Code "YT1MFREE" @ https://mtntough.com/________________________________________________________What is MTNTOUGH Fitness?MTNTOUGH is The #1 Fitness App Trusted By The DedicatedOur premier functional fitness programming is conveniently packaged for hunters, first responders, military, and mountain athletes.
