David Wilson AKA Oldscoolmoves is a teacher turned mover who is passionate about turning the conversation on aging, fighting back against ageism. Once a school teacher, David began to really dive into movement in his 50s, and now empowers hundreds of thousands of others via his social media.

In our conversation, I learn about negative aging attitudes, how to embrace aging with compassion and growth, overcoming barriers and limiting mindsets and how to address fears when restarting a physical practice.

#FiguringThingsOut

In this special episode we mark one year of the Figuring Things Out Podcast, and go full circle with our first ever guest!!

Josh Hash is the founder and CEO of StrengthSide, a hugely popular YouTube channel and brand. Josh and I spoke in the first ever episode of the FTO Podcast, and to celebrate a year of the paddy we decided to sit down again for round 2! 

Josh was a long term online student and has grown into a dear friend. His humble, and kind nature is a huge reason I feel he and StrengthSide has been so successful. 

In this conversation we discuss Josh’s past, his present and his future. We ramble through some exclusive news, stumble upon some genuine insights and have a good old catch up about work, training and family life. 

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did, here we go with Josh Hash AKA StrengthSide!

S4:E3 - Learning Series.

Possibly the nicest guy in movement? What a conversation this was! Honestly we could have gone for another few hours, so if you’d like to hear more of our conversations please let us know. 

 We discussed Aarons journey through parkour and into movement, his current research study, measuring backflip efficiency and the relationship between internal vs external states when moving. 

We explore in depth ideas pertaining to learning, styles, methods and philosophy. Aaron is a wealth of knowledge and there were avenues we could have explored over and over. Listen until the end to hear a brilliant example is his passion and knowledge, with a special improv section we added in the moment.
