21: Unconventional Fitness, Fatherhood, & Fear with Justin Andrews

Justin Andrews is one of the three co-hosts of the wildly popular fitness podcast, Mind Pump. Justin is really the resident expert on unconventional training at mind pump. In this episode, we break down the benefits of this kind of training for health, as well as how it can transfer to improving other aspects of life. We also dive deep into fatherhood and what it’s like for Justin, being so immersed in fitness and health, wanting to share that with his children while still allowing them to take on their own path.

Justin and I discuss:

• Allowing kids to take their own risks and follow their own path
• The biggest and most surprising lessons of parenthood
• The camaraderie of sports
• Unconventional training: What it looks like and how to start
• Myths in the fitness industry
• Fear of public speaking to speaking for a living & Learning to enjoy being a beginner
