85 Bern Prince: 2024 Invictus Boston Invitational Pre-Show
We had a great time chatting with Bern in anticipation of this years competition. Tune in! Either live or in person. Details below:
Event Details:
Event: Invictus Boston Invitational
Date: June 22nd 7am-7pm
Divisions: Elite, RX, Masters
Place: Crossfit One Nation, Needham MA
Link to Watch Live Stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/MNZDXAJvEYE?si=ZiYJpdJQMVv8cBGu
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invictusbostoninvitational/
Summary:"The Invictus Boston Invitational is in its 5th season of competition. The Invitational is a competition hosted by Bern K. Prince of Invictus Boston. The concept of the Invitational is to display how fitness can create a community of individuals that all cultures, backgrounds, and ages can gather and celebrate the sport of Crossfit. This year the Invitational has created a book club.
The theme “Book Club'' is intended to allow every competitor to write their own story. Playing off of some classic novels, such as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Shining, inspired names for the qualifier workouts, which are as impactful to the mind and body as the novels are. Every competitor's journey brings along a story as to what brought them to the Invitational. While testing who the fittest on the floor is, the intention is that these competitors can read their story to the community.
Crossfit has saved many lives. It has created relationships, friendships, and athletes of a unique caliber. While at the Invitational, walk in with the mindset that every athlete, spectator, photographer all all gathered together to celebrate the same passion for the sport of Crossfit. Write your own story, while uplifting others to write theirs.

Kelly's full Bio:
Kelly Starrett, DPT is a coach, physical therapist, author, and speaker. Along with his wife Juliet, Kelly is co-founder of The Ready State. The Ready State began as Mobility|WOD in 2008 and has gone on to revolutionize the field of performance therapy and self-care. Kelly received his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2007 from Samuel Merritt College in Oakland, California.
Kelly’s clients include professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB. He also works with Olympic gold-medalists, Tour de France cyclists, world-and national-record-holding Olympic lifting and power athletes, CrossFit Games medalists, ballet dancers, military personnel, and competitive age-division athletes.
Kelly is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Becoming A Supple Leopard and Ready to Run. He is also co-author (with Juliet) of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Deskbound. His latest book, Waterman 2.0, offers water-sport athletes a comprehensive guide to optimized movement and pain-free performance.
Kelly and his work have been featured on 60 Minutes, The View, The Joe Rogan Experience, CBS Sports, Outside Magazine, Men's Health, Men's Journal and dozens of other podcasts, magazines, and books — including Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Body and Tools of Titans.
On top of co-founding The Ready State, Kelly and Juliet also started San Francisco CrossFit and StandUpKids together.
Founded in 2005, San Francisco CrossFit was the 21st CrossFit affiliate in the world. And StandUpKids is a non-profit dedicated to combating kids' sedentary lifestyles by bringing standing and moving desks to low-income public schools. To date, StandUpKids has converted 95,000 kids from sitting to standing. Earlier in their careers, Kelly and Juliet also co-founded a kayaking camp for children with HIV called Liquid.
In his athletic career, Kelly paddled whitewater slalom canoe on the US Canoe and Kayak Teams. He lead the Men’s Whitewater Rafting Team to two national titles and competed in two World Championships. In his free time, “KStar” likes to spend time with his wife, Juliet, and two
daughters, Georgia and Caroline. He also loves to mountain bike, paddle, and sauna. And while Kelly claims to only “tolerate” the ice bath, according to Juliet he actually likes that, too.
We are very grateful to have Kelsey Kiel join us on the show. Kelsey is a fun person to be around and a great person to hang out & chat with. We talk about her experience in CrossFit when she first started & at the professional level. We talk about how her recent training has been going. We talk about different types of nutrition for different clients & athletes.

Episode backstory:
Had an awesome time hanging out & podcasting with Jared.
I started the day early at his 6:00AM class, getting crushed by some cardio circuits led by Jared. Then we drove to the Fit Factory and I watched him crush the 22.1 open workout. From there we refueled with some outstanding breakfast at the Farmer’s Daughter. Next stop was the gun range, where we fired off some shots in the 20 degree weather at metal targets. Then we were ready to podcast.
Of note….after the podcast we both had Chipotle…which just so happened to give us the worst food poisoning of our lives… but that’s another story.
Bio:
Jared is a coach, a personal trainer/ coach, a Navy veteran and all around good dude.
From a fitness perspective Jared participates in CrossFit, and garage gym training. He has competed in various competitions including triathlons, ultramarathons and CrossFit competitions.
Favorite (gym) sneaker: Vans
Favorite Movement: Devil’s Press
One Book: The Things They Carried, Tuesdays with Morrie
Favorite Podcasts: Stiff Socks, Joe Rogan
Favorite IG accounts: @NatureisMetal, @NorthAmericanRescue, @MissionEssentialGear, @Ironcowboyjames
If you could put one quote/ mantra/ saying on a billboard what would it be?
- Patch Adams: "You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome."
- Ted Lasso: "Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn't it? If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong."
Jared will be swimming on June 12th to support the Navy SEAL Foundation. The Boston Frogman swim is to honor their memory by swimming in the harbor to remember their sacrifice and help those in need.
