Shane Copeland is the writer behind the fantastic Substack newsletter - In Contrast. A man who has lived through many of life’s extremes, his work illuminates the benefit of the fulfilling middle between self-indulgent chaos and rigid order, specifically in the areas of fitness and nutrition.
As entertaining as he is wise, Shane understands the nuance. I constantly look for knowledge from experts who can simplify concepts while creating practical applications. Shane thrives in this area while also being hilarious.
In this conversation, we discussed:
* His powerfully transformative story
* Embracing life through exploration
* Leaving your comfort zone
* Limitations of discipline
* Intentionality
* Alignment
* Effective coaching
* And much more
I can’t recommend Shane’s platform, In Contrast, enough. In it, you will find thoughtful essays on practical approaches to fitness, nutrition, and life.
I brought up one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to between Shane Adam PT. Find it here:
The website Workaway was mentioned several times in our conversation. This is an online community that anyone can use to find exchange, volunteer, and/or house sitting opportunities around the world. Embracing life’s unknowns and using this platform led to Shane meeting his wife and becoming the man he is today. More info here:
