Expert: Refreshing Conversation With JC Deen About Awakening To The Joy Of Training and Nourishment
This is one of those MUST listen to podcasts with knowledge bombs and intimate insights dropped frequently throughout the conversation.
I have been following JC Deen on Facebook for a couple years now and have found his writing style to be both entertaining and informative.
It’s been absolutely awesome to watch JC come into his “own” during the past 6 months or so… Awakening to the joy of training, being present in the moment, and developing a keen awareness of how food impacts his body.
As you listen to this installment of the Kryptonite Report it won’t take you long to see why I was so excited to introduce you to JC.
At one point in the conversation Shawn asks me if I was setting him up, because JC’s response was so “On Target” with how we view training and the experience that you should gain from each session.
Listen in as we share…
- The training journey that had him come full circle.
- Advice to the young guys.
- The importance of an open mind and not being “sold” to one thing.
- Integrity, ethics, and being congruent.
- Experiencing the moment that’s ALWAYS here.
- Training muscles, not movements
- Your thoughts and feelings about food MATTER
