#071 - What I’m Reading, Watching, Buying, Doing, and Listening To

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm sharing a handful of the things that have been grabbing my attention lately—from what I'm reading to what I'm watching, buying, doing, and listening to.

We’re talking about Dan John’s new book The ABCs (and Fs) of Strength Training and how Easy Strength changed my approach early in my coaching career. I’ll break down a recent Flagrant podcast episode with Pete Buttigieg, some new health tech I'm using to stay ahead of cardiovascular risk, my endless battle to perfect air-fried chicken for meal prepping (spoiler: it’s harder than it looks), and why I’m running back through the entire Run the Jewels discography right now.

It’s casual. It’s personal. It’s a quick window into the stuff that's fueling the fire behind the scenes.

As a reminder, our Random Shows shows are a quick 15-30 minute episode where I typically discuss current industry trends, research reads, current events, and occasionally offer my insights into the training process that we're undertaking each week.

Additionally, I share details about the Former Athlete Society—our Skool community designed for former college athletes looking to level up their fitness, training, and recovery. Don’t miss this value-packed episode!
