Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, episode number 125 with an epic guest.

I say epic because I've been a very, very big fan of this guy's work ever since I read his book Never Let Go.

It was kind of a bit of a game changer in terms of my sort of understanding of programming

for clients and the training side of my job at the time.

Granted I don't do the coaching aspect of my role anymore, but at the time it was a real

introduction in terms of how the industry can overcomplicate training and how we can

kind of get bogged down in all the theories and the dogma out there.

So hopefully this man is going to simplify some of this and it will spur you to go and buy that book. I think it's an incredible book.

Welcome to the show Dan John.

Well, thank you so much. I can't believe it took 125 episodes for you to find a call.

That kind of hurts my feelings a little bit. I'll get over it, but, uh, wow, geez.

Uh, I apologize. You know... So I'm the 125 best you can do. This is shocking to me actually, 125, okay.

If it makes you feel any better, every other show is a Q&A with me and my co-host.

So if you cut that in half, you're about 65th.

Okay, so that makes me feel better.

Thanks, okay, great.

Dan, there will be loads of people out there that know who you are, loads that don't.

Like, give us the quick who is Dan John synopsis.

Sure. Born and raised in South San Francisco, California, United States.

I grew up in a very athletic family, military and athletic

family. So sports was always part of my life. Started lifting weights in

1965 when my aunt died and left us some money.
