I don’t know if it’s something in the water or my dashing good looks1, but I’ve had an avalanche of invites lately to appear on several podcasts.
It’s a great feeling.
For starters, I get a nice stroke to my ego. I mean, who doesn’t like talking about themselves for 30-60 minutes?
Second, and less-douchey of a reason, I consider it an honor every time someone reaches out to invite me on their show. It doesn’t matter to me if they have 10,000 listeners, a 100, or even 10…unless the show is titled Deadlifts Are Stupid or, I don’t know, The Tony Gentilcore Has a Small Penis Show I’m probably going to say yes and make an appearance.
Recently I was invited onto the Barenaked Health Podcast with Nick Horowski.
Cool factoid: Nick reached out by linking to a personalized video he made of himself walking somewhere (it looked like it was a baseball field) with his toddler strapped to his back. He had some nice things to say and mentioned how’d he’d love to have me on his show.
It was a nice touch.
How could I say no?
We discussed a lot of things: what “strength” is, why it’s okay to say “I don’t know” or to even change your mind on things, the absurd notion that deadlifts are dangerous for everyone, and I’m sure we snaked in some Star Wars references to boot.
You can go HERE to listen to it via iTunes.
Or HERE if you’d prefer to listen from the Barenaked Health website.
