Evolve Move Play Podcast

Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Evolve Move Play Podcast. In this episode I'll be interviewing the Mindful Mover himself, Philip Chubb! 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. I really enjoyed talking to Phil and I think that he has a lot to say that can help people get more out of their practice with less invested time, which is especially critical for those of us who have busy schedules, or who just don’t want to spend 3-6 days a week in the gym. I've personally implemented many of Philips ideas around being more efficient in the use of our time and our training and how to get more out of each set and rep.

Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast. This week our guest is George Brill! George is a young anthropologist and athlete who trains in ultra running, rock climbing, and freediving. I ran into his fascinating research on the Batek people of Peninsular Malaysia, who are famous for their unique social systems and egalitarianism as well as being one of the most capable tree-climbing cultures on the planet. In this conversation we go deep into anthropological theory, evolutionary and cultural backgrounds, how human beings evolved their locomotive capacities, as well as the intersection between spirituality, movement and traditional lifestyles, which I think you guys will find really fascinating.

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 parkour. Among other things, in this chat we dug deep into Max's personal physical practice and how he builds himself up and prepares for challenges. I think if you are interested in how high level parkour is practiced, and how people build up for that practice, this is gonna be a really fantastic interview for you to watch.
