Hey guys this week our guest on the podcast is strength and performance expert and fellow podcast host Joel Smith. Joel is a self declared Kangaroo and, like myself, a geek about the art of cueing and communicating with Athletes. The last 3 weeks have had heavy emphasis on meaning and spirituality with some challenging material. It’s fun to return to the more familiar ground of how we get athletes to run faster, jump higher, and be all around more adaptable. Joel’s Just Fly Performance Podcast (...

On this podcast we have dug deeply into the topic of meaning and recent episodes have had a strong focus on spirituality. This however will be the first time we are dealing really directly with Christianity. One might reasonably ask why a podcast formed to talk about movement practice and the science connected to it is featuring a Christian reformed church pastor? Over the years though what we have discovered is that fundamentally we believe the purpose of movement practice is the cultivation of...

Hello and welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast! This week our guest is Jeppe Skovgaard, a long time parkour practitioner, yogi, and the founder of Rört, a mixed-modality movement facility in Copenhagen. Jeppe’s story has a lot of similarities to my own, we both spent the early part of our careers demanding too much of our bodies to the point that we experienced some serious repercussions. Thankfully we both took our experiences as a cue that we needed to change the way we approach our pr...

You may have also seen his amazing parkour chase scene in 007: Casino Royale Sebastien is a very fun and thoughtful person and I’m really impressed with the ideas he’s put together and the philosophy behind his approach t...

Philip specializes in teaching people strength development using gymnastic strength and barbell training, and he is highly influenced by the ideas of high intensity training and Nassim Taleb.

Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast! This week our guest is Max Henry, a veteran of the parkour scene and the author of The Parkour Roadmap. Max is a very thoughtful guy who has traveled all over the world and done extensive stunt work and worked at a very high level within parkour. I was initially interested in touching base with him also because he's taken interest in the philosophical side of the sport and understanding the hero's journey and how that applies to our practice within p...

Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast! Today we’ve got our very good friend John Vervaeke back on the show to talk about speculative fiction and how many of the threads we’ve been exploring around the meaning making show up and are addressed in these powerful and influential narratives. I really enjoyed this conversation and I think that you’ll get a lot out of it, even if you don’t consider yourself especially interested in speculative fiction. So check it out and don’t forget to like, s...
