The guys share real moments—from missed shots to backyard campouts—and practical ways to make it fun, not forced. They also touch on the upcoming Mayhem Hunt Camp and why it’s built for anyone looking to get started the right way.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about the hunt, it’s about investing in your family and becoming better because of it.

On this episode of In Pursuit with Rich Froning, the crew sit down with Jake Currei, CEO of Qalo, to talk fitness, technology, and what it really means to stay ready. Jake shares his journey from CrossFit coach to tech entrepreneur and how QALO is evolving from durable silicone rings into wearable health technology.

They break down key metrics like sleep, heart rate variability, stress, and recovery — and why tracking them can help everyday people make smarter decisions about training, nutrition, and long-term health. The conversation also explores how small insights can drive meaningful habit changes and even reveal hidden issues before they become real problems.

If you want a practical look at using data to perform better in the gym, in the backcountry, and in life, this episode delivers.
