Pardon my french but F*UCK YOUR FEELINGS! This isn't personal, this is simply the title of Ryan's book which is turning heads and creating some very positive life shifts in forward thinking communities. I just finished reading it and I can honestly say it is one of the better self discovery / self mastery books out there. Ryan has done an incredible job of combining science, self experimentation, knowledge and application to assist people to living better and being better.

"Master your mind, accomplish any goal, and become a more significant human being" is the tagline of his book and we surf that wave throughout this insightful and impactful conversation. Ryan shares stories, struggles and philosophies and his lifelong journey to maximize his human potential.

There are A TON of great takeaways on this episode and I highly recommend staying for the full length for some great thoughts on getting the most out of your life by living a life of integrity through clear values and systems.

It is an honour and a privilege to record the first ever podcast with the one and only Randy Stoklos - beach volleyball legend. This episode has a lot of personal meaning because Randy was my first ever exposure to beach volleyball in the 90's and was one of the athletes I always dreamed of becoming.

He brought us into the start of his love for volleyball, his experiences breaking into the games top rankings, spine tingling stories depicting the pinnacle era of sport and all kinds of entertaining and informative tales about his career and life. Randy's energy is one of a kind and he let me in to the highs and lows of his journey in sport and beyond.

This was a special episode for me and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

It is my honour to speak with one of the most outgoing examples of leadership in college of basketball. Ryan Horn is an outspoken, intelligent and virtuous coach who is the living standard for his team. After this conversation I have no doubt that he is the "King of Culture".

His passion for living his message and being a man of character make this a seriously deep and rewarding interview as we go straight to the heart of topics that require a backbone. This is about creating better people through sport and earning some championships along the way...

This episode will be a repeat listen for me and I can guess it will be for you. Take notes, replay his answers and do your best to live into the example of creating a successful culture that develops exemplary citizens and human beings.

Give Ryan a follow for consistent coaching and leadership nuggets

Cristian Plascencia represents the future of Movement, He is the Director of "Durability" at ONNIT in Austin, Texas and he is doing an INCREDIBLE job of leading this sophisticated movement practice. From pro-athletes all the way to parents that just want to feel good, Cristian is putting people through a movement regime that is connecting them back to their human being and how great they are truly supposed to feel.

He is incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and committed to making a shift in culture. This episode is a small part in that shift and I too am committed to the same purpose be it through Durability as well as other more accessible means of movement training. This goes much deeper than "physical" and will hopefully leave you inspired and inquisitive to become more active or add recovery movement into your weekly regime .

Life is too short for just one sport

In this passionate conversation, Steve and I dive into many different tunnels under the higher arching concepts of physical literacy and how important it is for youth to play multiple sports. We break down myths, explore solutions and go deep into the role sports play in the development of youth both physically and emotionally.

Steve sits on the Co-Founder and Chair of the National Association for Physical Literacy and he is the 2-4-1 Sports Director

Episode #8 is a conversation I have been waiting to have for a long time with my good friend Matt Sacks. Matt is the President and CEO of CoreVyo - a movement training tool developed by 2X NBA MVP Steve Nash and his physio Dr.Rick Celebrini to enhance movement quality and efficiency on the court or field.

This conversation is important for coaches, athletes and parents as it is a deep dive into the space between strength & conditioning and the field of play called "Transference" it it is the industry of the future for athletic training. The conversation also expands on types of movement athletes and coaches should be threading into their weekly training as well as some philosophy of sport preparation applied to life itself. There is A TON of great information here for anybody as well as some actionable items you can implement into your training immediately for increased performance.

Episode #7 is an honour as I chat with one of the fittest men on earth. What makes this conversation special is how deeply we go beyond Crossfit into who Brent is as a human being. I ask him some more profound questions about his skill set as an all round athlete, his ability to suffer, how me manages his breath, strategies in the sport of Crossfit, the sponsorship game, how his wife Claire impacts his life and his thoughts on life after Crossfit.

I hope this is a special episode for anyone interested in learning from one of the worlds most elite athletes. Brent is an amazing guy with so much to offer beyond his height so I truly hope you enjoy this deeper dive with "The Professor".

This episode is one of the most important public conversations I have ever had. The topics we cover in this discussion changed my life and truly impacted how I approach sport and life. Johnny's ideas, framework and integrity are second to none and I believe his approach to education and empowerment have the potential to impact on huge scale.

The only show note I will provide is a link to the book that serves as a backbone to Johnny's and now my backbone.

This episode with Austin Einhorn is very thought provoking and informative. His multitude of life experiences in sport and quality hours working on human possibility (mind and body) make him a very fascinating guest. His influence has positively impacted many athletes in various professions as he flies at a different altitude than main stream Strength and Conditioning.

We explore the foundations to which he approaches life, sport and human development. We get a good look at how growing up and going to school impacted his outlook on learning, we explore the importance of autonomy and then take a tour through his personal and professional practices.
