August 29, 2021 Help Me Understand - Episode 34, "The Difference Between Who I Am and What I Am"
On today's first international episode of the podcast, JK has a conversation with Coach Dean Hammond of The Catalyst Project. As a father, husband, strength & conditioning coach, and Royal Army member based in the United Kingdom, Dean certainly wears many hats. Today, Dean sat down to go into great detail about the experiences that have helped shape and sculpt the person he is today, and who he will be in the future.
This is a conversation that truly peels back layers that go far beyond the surface. Listen in (and take notes) as Dean shares his perspective on comparison culture, how he got into the military, how the influence of his parents has and continues to play a pivotal role in his life, and so much more.
Caution: Be prepared to want to replay this episode multiple times, because there's just THAT much insight shared.
