I believe you should surround yourself with people who back up words with actions, and always look to improve, grow, and make a positive impact.
People like today’s podcast guest, Danny Kavadlo.
Danny is a renowned expert in the field of bodyweight training and calisthenics, and one of the most entertaining, engaging, and all around cool dudes I know.
He balances a New York attitude and a rebellious vibe with an evolved, introspective approach to the way he trains and lives.
Every time Danny and I get a chance to chat, I walk away with a new perspective on life and a new fire to grow as a coach and as a person. You guys are gonna love this episode, so tune in to hear Danny and I cover everything from training and nutrition, to tattoos, social justice, and professional wrestling.
