In this episode, we introduce Coach Steph, our newest staff member! With a long history of olympic weightlifting and specializing in coaching kids, we're very excited to use her expertise at Kanna. In this episode, we go over Steph's fitness history, how she went through a gastric bypass, lost over 100 pounds, but then gained it back, and found CrossFit. We also go over considerations for coaching kids and teens and how they're similar, yet different than coaching adults. 

This is an episode that we recorded pre-COVID-19 so you can get to know our newest staff members: Coaches Nate, Justin, and Hack. Enjoy!

On this podcast, Coach Chris talks with Carl Paoli who is best known for being the gymnastics expert in the early days of CrossFit, but as you'll find out there are many more dimensions to Carl. We talk about fear, ego, meditation, feeling alone, the Japanese concept of "ikigai," the 60% rule, his two advisors "ROI" and "Joy," and more.
