CrossFit Podcast: Rory McKernan on Fitness, Family, Battling Cancer

Rory McKernan has a longstanding history as a media personality in the CrossFit space, most notably as a host for the live announcements of the CrossFit Games Open workouts. Today, he’s the Director of Business Development for Mayhem Nation, the business venture of four-time CrossFit Games champion Rich Froning Jr. 

In this interview at the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games, McKernan and CrossFit Education's Senior Content Developer Stephane Rochet (CF-L3) reflect on McKernan’s personal and professional journeys with CrossFit, lessons learned after battling cancer more than a decade ago, and how he pursues excellence in fitness, family, business, and personal development on a day-to-today basis.

Watching this after my latest fluid infusion. Just finished radiation treatment 8 of 33. Two more big chemo hits before I get to use “survivor”. This gives me a target. Thank you for continuing to share your story.

Rory is the face of CrossFit media to me. Hearing his voice over on videos let’s me know it’s CrossFit. Love watching the Mayhem media videos with his finger print on them.
