Homelessness, CrossFit, and the Search for Truth | Sevan Matossian - E402

Sevan Matossian is the son of Armenian immigrants. After spending
two years homeless, he filmed movies in one hundred countries,
seven continents, and forty-nine American states. As the
Executive Director of CrossFit Media, he was a vital part of
growing CrossFit from a movement with three-hundred gyms to an
organization with fifteen-thousand gyms and an international
footprint. During that time, he became educated on health in the
United States and now believes that added sugar and refined
carbohydrates are at the center of today’s health crisis.
