Number 4 in the episode count, number 1 in our hearts. The man, the myth, the legend, Mr. RedwiteandJordan himself Jordan Jiunta.
We discuss Jordan's wrestling background and a couple shared experiences we had that came through those challenges. We talk about how the mentality developed in wrestling sets a trajectory forward in life and the confidence in capabilities established at an early age reinforce those.
Even today there is an appreciation of discomfort and a willingness to engage in challenges that require discomfort.
All this sets up a deep dive into Jordan's passion for weightlifting as a coach and athlete. The reward that comes from coaching, the challenges that it offers, the mentality needed and the rewarding nature of it.
Jordan I appreciate the laughs, the stories and mentality this conversation facilitated.
