Two-Brain Radio: CrossFit Memes With John Wooley

You’re probably more familiar with his work than you are with him. John Wooley is the man behind the most popular CrossFit meme page on Instagram, "Make Wods Great Again."

After finding CrossFit nine years ago, John decided to put his keen sense of humor to work on social media, and the rest is history. He and Sean talk about how the page got started, what makes a good CrossFit meme and what it’s like to meet the targets of some of his good-natured humor in person.
