Born in a Sauna: Yooper Roots and the Heat That Built Us

You heard that right — Trevor’s dad was literally born in a sauna in the U.P. of Michigan. Back then, the sauna wasn’t a luxury — it was a necessity. Warm, clean, full of life.

And that tradition never stopped. For Yoopers, saunas are sacred. They’re where stories are told, friendships are forged, and pride in your roots gets renewed with every cloud of steam.

When Trevor fires up the Maverick Sauna on the podcast, it’s more than sponsorship — it’s home. It’s a salute to the old-school way of living: work hard, stay humble, and sweat the small stuff out of your system.

In a world that’s too cold sometimes, Yoopers know the secret — heat heals.
