Going Beyond the Surface with Carl Paoli

I had an awesome conversation with the legendary movement expert Carl Paoli. This podcast started out by delving into his current passions as a parent (and with Antranik soon to be one!) and we go on talk a bit about the intricacies behind content-creation, the competitive nature of CrossFit, the art of masking failure with improvisation, the pillars of functional training, the power of first-person visualization, emotional fitness, and finally, the Q&A from the questions you asked last week!

Thanks for asking my question. Simple answer. Have him do what I'm doing and scale it. Bam. 😅
