Real Talk -4-20-20- Less Can Be More

To best describe Greg, I made use of his bio directly from his website at StrongerByScience.com

Greg has over a decade of experience under the bar and a B.S. in exercise and sports science. He is currently enrolled in the exercise science M.A. program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He’s held three all-time world records in powerlifting in the 220lb and 242lb classes. He’s trained hundreds of athletes and regular folks, both online and in-person. He’s written for many of the major magazines and websites in the fitness industry, including Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, Bodybuilding.com, T-Nation, and Schwarzenegger.com. Furthermore, he’s had the opportunity to work with and learn from numerous record holders, champion athletes, and collegiate and professional strength and conditioning coaches through his previous job as Chief Content Director for Juggernaut Training Systems and current full-time work on StrongerByScience.com. Greg is also one-third of Monthly Applications in Strength Sport (MASS), a monthly research review he runs with Eric Helms and Mike Zourdos.

Essentially, Greg is very widely known among fitness professionals, but for my audience, I wanted to bring out his personality or at the very least, talk about stuff he wouldn't often get asked to talk about. 

So if you enjoy Greg, or are interested in his work, I highly recommend you seek out some of his content on his website. He is a wealth of information and has been on so many other podcasts you will never run out of Greg things to listen to.

Shane Fennessey is on the rise in his career as a film producer. It's so cool to see those big moments - film premiers, seeing his content for purchase on Apple Movies or through Sportsnet etc. He's a very driven, goal oriented individual with what I would describe best as a relentless work ethic, a competitive spirit, and a heart of gold. 

If you enjoy inspirational sports documentaries, you'll enjoy Shane Fennessey and the what's been keeping him busy over the last several years. If you thrive off of learning and self awareness, you will enjoy what we talk about in this episode. 

As added context, Shane and I have been on each other's podcast almost two years ago. Aside from his career, he has been hosting a podcast called The City of Champions which centers around Edmontonians. It was amongst one of the first podcasts I ever checked out, and was the first one that I've ever appeared on. 

He's appeared earlier on The Lifestyle Chase on episode 8, where we took a much broader look at his entry into his career, his origin story, and life in general. 

Thanks for listening, now go find some of Shane's films!
