Men Pursuing More

“Know Your Numbers, Fuel Your Strength, and Take Charge of Your Wellness”
This special episode of the Men Pursuing More Podcast, hosted by Roger Maupin, shines a spotlight on an essential theme—Women’s Health. Released on the final Tuesday of every month, these conversations are designed not only for women seeking practical steps to improve their health, but also for the men who love and support them. In this episode of Men Pursuing More, we welcome Major Chumley III, Kendra Whittlef, and Sarah Marchio for a powerful discussion that blends expertise with personal insight. Together, they unpack the real challenges women face.
We dive deep into the conversations every woman should be having about her body, hormones, and long-term wellness. It’s time to stop guessing and start assessing—because knowing your numbers is the foundation for real health change. Discover the essential blood tests you should be requesting—from thyroid and testosterone to other key hormone panels—and how often to check them. Learn why your metabolism, muscle health, and testosterone levels are vital to energy, recovery, and results, and how strength training, rest, and nutrition work together to optimize your well-being. We’ll also explore practical fitness strategies—from the importance of weight training and cardio to overcoming the challenges of working out at home versus in a gym, and why coaching can be a game-changer.
Don’t miss this engaging and educational episode created to help both men and women learn, grow, and continue to pursue more.

“Every setback is a setup for impact.”
In Episode 44 of Men Pursuing More, Turnar Kist takes us on a powerful journey from growing up in Winnipeg, Canada, to becoming a teacher and coach in Minnesota. Turnar reflects on the lessons learned attending Catholic and prep schools, volunteering at a young age, and balancing his love for hockey and basketball—though he didn’t play them at the varsity level, he found his stride on the football field in both high school and college. Inspired by his older brother, Turnar pursued football at the University of Mary in Bismarck, where he majored in Social Studies and minored in Special Education, setting the stage for his calling as a teacher and coach. His path has included overcoming concussions, a serious accident, hard career choices, and most recently, a battle with cancer alongside his father’s stage 4 fight. Today, as a football and lacrosse coach and a special education teacher, Turnar is living out resilience, pouring into students, athletes, and families while staying committed to his own growth. This is a story of grit, faith, and finishing strong no matter the obstacles.
