This week, Highland Games World Champ, content creator, and all-around awesome guy Matt Vincent joins the show. This one was incredibly fun and covered everything from the usual talk on training (with some great insights from Matt about tailoring training for different contexts), slightly more abstract stuff like the relationship between self-loathing and self-motivation and the problem with needless negativity.
