The Jason Wright Show

Brian Thompson was first one of the most celebrated high school football players in the state of Texas and nation. He was faster than everyone else. He was stronger than everyone else. He would do whatever it took to earn a Division I football scholarship.

He did. He signed with Texas A&M. However, due to a career ending injury Brian was sidelined. He then devoted his life to the business of health and wellness. First becoming a hospital administrator and then using his vast knowledge of sports science having studied under the likes of legendary trainer Charles Poliquin to create healthier, faster, stronger athletes.

He now is the Administrative Director for Sports Medicine Human Performance and Sleep at the Christus Human Performance Center.

Basically, Brian gets paid to lead in all the areas I totally geek out on. This conversation was wide ranging full of tips, sound advice and expertise from a true industry leader.

We also discuss the Christus Speed Clinic Coming up. If you want to register, just click the link below. The clinic will be led by legendary speed coach Tom Shaw.

Speed Clinic

I was in Houston on business. On one morning of the trip I was visiting with my buddy Giovanni Catanzaro. The conversation veered into self improvement, relationships and always getting better.

Giovanni is young enough to be my son. Given his wisdom at such a young age I’d be proud. Sidebar, his Dad is a bit of a badass himself. Giovanni’s father’s business slid during the financial crisis of 2008. At 40 years old Giovanni’s Dad had a big decision to make.

How would this middle aged father and husband living in Long Island New York feed his family with his business falling to the wayside? He decided to join the Army. That’s right. At 40 years old Giovanni’s Dad went off to basic training.

Fast forward 5 years. It was time for another move. What did he do? He became a Cop at 45. With a role model like that who lives by the credo “You do what you gotta do,” it’s no wonder Giovanni is as wise as he is.

This was such a fun conversation. For those of us who often use the millennials as a punching bag, here’s a conversation to give you hope. Giovanni is a full blown millennial, but he is proof they aren’t all bad.

Enjoy!

Goal setting is one thing. Setting the right goals and achieving them is another. In this episode I discuss how to set goals that will stick and keep you motivated during those times you want to give up on them.

So since I was very young I’ve been into health and wellness. I just love feeling good and staying healthy. There’s probably not too many fitness magazines I haven’t subscribed to starting with Flex when I was in high school finally graduating to Iron Man, Men’s Health and Men’s Journal when I was in college.

In the world of fitness models there’s a couple of faces you come to get familiar with. Clark Bartram is one of them. I started following Clark on Instagram a while back. It wasn’t his workouts or eating tips I was drawn to. It was his attitude.

This 58 year old dude was not just ripped physically but mentally as well. I love his message about the importance of knowing who you are, putting in the work and never slowing the process of evolving and improving as a person.

Therefore, I was thrilled when Clark agreed to come on the JWS. I know you will leave this episode inspired. Oh, and if you’re like me and over 40 Clark serves as a great muse. The dude is in phenomenal shape and he’s all “natty.” For those of you who don’t know that means natural. He doesn’t take steroids. Just good clean living and hard ass work.

Besides being a fitness coach, trainer and model he’s a published author some 10 times over! Enjoy the show.

As usual, this conversation with my buddy and fellow entrepreneur and podcaster James Quandahl is packed with goodies. There’s something about when James and I get together. The idea factory burns white hot, the iron sharpening iron goes into full effect and it’s always a blast.

James and his wife, Emily are currently working from Norway. No. I’m not jealous at all. They have created a life for themselves that allows them to work together and seemingly anywhere in the world.
