Dan John on Measuring What Matters [The Pat Flynn Show]

Dan John on Measuring What Matters

Dan John is one of the tops minds in strength and conditioning. He even invented the goblet squat, for heaven’s sake. But more impressive, is Dan John’s generalist attitude, of wanting to enjoy “the buffet of life”, as he calls it.

In this episode we cover it all. Dan tells us why what you measure matters, how to best approach strength training, how to become a better, more productive writer, and more. Dan John, strength coach, author, professor of theology, discus thrower–sounds like a generalist to me.

I love everything about this episode.
