What are you getting out of your training?
I love coaching, I love training. I have spent several years of my life in higher education institutions earning various degrees. However it’s in the gym that I have learned the most. Watching people sweat, talking about food, feelings, and the biomechanics of the squat, is where I have seen the most epic battles, and where I have had the biggest impact. I love it.

What can we learn from the Gamestop saga?
When I recorded this video, I thought the Gamestop saga was kind of done. Man! I was so wrong. It is still going on! Last night when I realized this, I rushed to watch my video again to confirm it still had value. Phew! It does. And I realized it has value regardless of what happens with GameStop. That was a nice rush and a great reminder. Context is everything for sure. Yet, I want the content I share with you to stand for a little longer than a week. I am happy to say this does.
Even though there are not financial predictions or observations, there are a few cute internet cats and an upgraded set of video transitions and high-quality music. You will effing love it. Watch it and let me know what you think!
