Every episode of my podcast covers some aspect of training theory, coaching, psychology, and nutrition. Pretty much anything related to performance. With that comes a lot of abstract thinking and imagining how it would play out in practice. Until now...



In this crossover episode, Dani and I get interviewed by the Red Gauge podcast and discuss our coach-athlete relationship, remote coaching, and USAPL Nationals. We also get roped into playing the "Newly Coach" game, one of the funniest segments I've ever been involved with on a podcast.

Ep. 291: How to Develop Elite Technique | Max Aita

Todd Kashdan is an intellectual idol of mine. He has a PhD in clinical psychology, is the founder of the Well-Being Lab at George Mason University, and a leading educator to the public. He's written books on curiosity, negative emotions, and the art of insubordination. His writings alone have influenced the trajectory of my life and career.



In this episode, we explore the underpinnings of curiosity, how to manage social anxiety, and the reason relationships fail (and why that's okay).

Ep. 289: How Heavy Should You Train? | Jessie Stemo

Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman is a psychologist, professor at Columbia, best-selling author, and host of The Psychology Podcast. His work has reshaped how we think about intelligence, creativity, and self-actualization—and in this conversation, he brings those ideas to life with depth and clarity.



In this episode, we dive into transcending labels, reframing trauma, and building self-belief. Scott shares insights from Rise Above and explores how authenticity, flow, and environment support personal growth.
