Jason and Greg sit down with Ali & Dave Kervin from the Ruck’N Rise Podcast

When these two aren't out being active with weighted packs on their backs, they're working on lightening the load many others carry when it comes to mental health challenges faced in our society today.

Dave & Ali Kervin created the Ruck'n Rise Podcast in June of 2023 to create a safe space to have open and honest discussions about mental health, fitness, goal setting, and the pursuit of betterment.

Dave & Ali are both from Peterborough, Ontario.

Ali Kervin is a fitness enthusiast, and full-time, certified positive dog trainer, currently pursuing her yoga instructor certification. Following the tragic loss of her brother to suicide in April of 2023, Ali knew she had to do something to create more awareness and improvement within her community and beyond for mental health. While rising out of her comfort zone, with the help of her husband Dave and her close friend Kendra, Ali created the Ruck'n Rise Podcast.

Dave Kervin, a primary reservist with the Canadian Armed Forces, and Ambassador for Wounded Warriors Canada, has always had a passion for health, fitness, and helping those around him achieve their goals to keep moving forward in life. Between friends who have faced battles in armed conflict, to those on the front lines in our communities, Dave is always seeking the next approach to better support those around him as they continue on their path for betterment.
