Ep 96 - Down the Rabbit Hole w/ Mike Bledsoe

In this closing episode of Barbell Buddha Rediscovered, I'm doing a "live listen" where I get to sit down with the buddy one last time. To say Chris's life and work has impacted me is an understatement, and this show is my final attempt to share that message. Today on the show, we'll get plenty of nuggets and peals as well as an ending that is truly surreal. Thank you Chris. And thank you, dear listener. Peace, love, namaste, cheers, -Brooks

In this episode of Barbell Buddha Rediscovered, I interview top strength coach, Julien Pineau. Julien needs little introduction to this audience, so I'll let the episode speak for itself. We discuss Julien's life before and after Barbell Shrugged, his personal connection to Chris, and what Julien is up to now. Special thanks to Julien for coming on and to Mr. Bledsoe for the connection. Enjoy the show.

Today on the show, Chris discusses what's been going on after a 2 month podcast hiatus. He talks about the updated Barbell Shrugged, the deeper meaning of D3&T, and answers 3 questions from his fans. Chris does most of the heavy lifting today so sit back, relax, listen, and enjoy the show.

In his final interview for Barbell Buddha Rediscovered, I head down the rabbit hole with Mike Bledsoe in Austin, Texas to discuss our first encounter at PaleoFX, wise morons, and Mike reflects on the lessons of Chris's life and legacy. I want to give a special thank you to Mike for inviting me into his life, contributing to the show, and for being a friend and mentor to me over the last 5 years. His contibution to my life and development cannot be overstated. Enjoy the show.

I’m coming to you, in your earbuds, from Fairy Hill, Portland Parish, Jamaica. Today on the show, Chris is going to talk about his first Tony Robbins experience, how to pick up on patterns, and what to do about it once we find them.

Today on the show it's another "live listen" where we talk about training, pursuing quality, and continuing to do less things, better. 

Today on the show I talk about my CrossFit origins and the small moves I made that brought me into the CrossFit Memphis / Faction SC / Barbell Shrugged ecosystem by this point in Chris's timeline (June 28, 2015) when the original show was released. We also have a clip from a seminar Chris and the BBS guys hosted in Miami about the importance of the small moves that allow for the big goals to be achieved. Happy Vice Friday!

It's Vice Friday so I've got snacks and good show lined up for you. Enjoy!

How better to start the year than getting off on the good foot? At least, that's what we're going for. But not everything goes according to plan. On today's show, Chris gives us 3 hot tips for getting traction when motivation and inspiration seem fleeting, and we're gonna smoke a taco or two! Enjoy the show, and Happy New Year!

It's Chris's birthday so I wanted to catch up with him and hear this righteous story. It may be his birthday, but he's the one giving the gifts on this episode. Let's hear how Chris stared down his hero, the devastating aftermath, and what he learned. I'll also share some personal things in my life lately. Enjoy the show, and Happy Birthday Chris!
