The WODcast Podcast

Kyle Thiermann, born 1990, is known as “The Renaissance Surfer.” As a conduit between athletes and intellectuals he surfs professionally for Patagonia, works as a documentary correspondent, hosts a weekly podcast and is a freelance writer.

In 2018 Thiermann co-created The Motherfucker Awards, a comedy awards show that aims to create corporate accountability through comedy. At a sold-out gala in LA, famous comedians represented the corporations that did the most to fuck Mother Earth and gave acceptance speeches on their behalf.

From ages 18-25 Thiermann created and hosted the YouTube series Surfing For Change. While traveling to the best waves around the world, he created gonzo-style mini-documentaries about current environmental issues happening in the regions. From 25-27 he worked as a correspondent for Discovery Digital Networks covering issues ranging from a little-known indigenous conflict in Chile, to the impact wild pigs have on coral reefs in Hawaii.

His first YouTube video in the Surfing For Change series detailed how money kept in multinational banks can be used to finance destructive projects all over the world. This video inspired people to move large amounts of money out of centralized banks and into local banks and credit unions, and reached people throughout North America, South America, Africa, and much of Europe.

Thiermann has covered controversial stories all over the world. These stories have included the Indonesian trash epidemic, GMO protests in Hawaii, working conditions in Sri Lanka, nuclear power in South Africa, and the adverse effects of surf tourism in Nicaragua.

Thiermann speaks at universities throughout the country and in 2011 gave a TEDx Talk in his wetsuit. His surfing and filmmaking successes have earned him the Brower Youth Award, American Clean Skies Award, Blue Vision Youth Award, and Surfrider’s Pro Surfer Environmental Achievement Award.

Thiermann is a columnist for Adventure Sports Network, Inertia, and Santa Cruz Waves. He graduated from Gaia University with a Bachelors of Science in Green Business with a focus in Media.

Ben competed as one of the top-ranked amateur triathletes in the world, completing over 120 races and 12 Ironman triathlons while racing for the elite Team Timex multisport team, winning gold medal for the USA in long course triathlon, and leading squads of swim, bike, and run enthusiasts in guided adventures through Hawaii, Thailand, Japan and beyond.

Eventually, Ben became the father of twin sons and pivoted into media, writing, speaking, and consulting, launching one of the world’s first fitness podcasts, becoming a New York Times bestselling author of “Beyond Training” and 13 books, designing and creating the Christian Gratitude Journal, and starting a blog that now reaches over a million rabid fans each month. During this time, while making a name for himself as a relentless self-experimenter and biohacker, Ben became a professional obstacle course racer; completing the coveted Spartan Delta; training with the Navy SEALs; competing across the globe in open water swims, mountain runs, and adventure races; winning multiple USA bowhunting competitions; and appearing on the planet's toughest reality TV shows.

In 2013 and 2014, Ben was named as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people in health and fitness, and by 2015, Ben was coaching the world’s top CEO’s, chefs, biohackers, poker players, tennis, motocross and endurance competitors, and professional athletes from the UFC, the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and beyond—all while advising and investing in top companies in the health, fitness, and nutrition industry. In 2016, he joined Spartan SGX as one of its certified coaches.
