When I set out to start a podcast, I wrote down a list of everyone I valued and looked up to as a trainer, coach, mentor, or leader in the fitness industry. 

Dave Tate is, to me, one of the most influential strength coaches to date. As you'll hear in this episode, he spins an intricate web of analogies to describe what has transpired in the last 30 years in the training and coaching industry. 

Thanks to professionals like Dave, I can safely call personal training and coaching a legitimate career. If it weren't for those who came before us, and the seeds they planted, we would be doing something far removed from the lives we lead in the gym with our clients and athletes. 

Thank you, Mr. Tate, not only for the interview but for the effort to lay out a career path for so many of us.
