Dan John is my guest today, a leading voice on all things related to strength and lifting.
Having followed Dan’s work for about 6 years, it was exciting to have him on the show. Some highlights from our conversation include: the importance of failing publically, how parents should encourage their kids, and the pain/pleasure matrix of goal achievement.
His latest book is Attempts: Essays on Fitness, Health, Longevity, and Easy Strength. Through all his writing, he shares lessons from a lifetime spent under the bar as coach, teacher, and competitor. If you read his words closely, you will find valuable clues about how to live a full life and be a good human too.
Dan John University, his latest venture, gathers all his knowledge in one place. Here you can learn how to perform the movements properly, build world class strength programs, and track your progress.
Thanks for listening.
