Summary

Kung Fu Kenny comes on the podcast today to share his story & ambitions.

Kenny Bednarek is the current World #1 in the 200m, a 2xOlympian, a 2x Olympic Silver Medallist, a World Championship Silver Medallist, the 2021 Diamond League Champion, and a 9xDiamond League winner.

Needless to say, this guy is really good at track.

Kenny represents NIKE & The United States on the global stage.

Kenny has run 9.87 in the 100m and 19.59 in the 200m.

In today's conversation, Kenny walks me through the moments that have led up to his successful career, his Paris experience, and reflections on his Silver track speed vs. football speed; if Lebron could break 5 minutes in the mile, his ambitions for the future, and so much more!

This conversation was a true privilege to have and exceeded my expectations. I hope you all take the time to listen and learn from Kenny!

0:00.0	Before we hop into today's episode of the podcast, I want to briefly tell you guys about a supplement that I've been taking for over a year.
0:09.1	The company's name is two before. I bet you've heard about it on the podcast before.
0:13.2	There are so many supplements and things out there, and I honestly don't believe in like 99% of them.
0:19.5	And so I was skeptical myself when I first heard about this product.
0:22.9	But the more I looked into it, the more I started to believe.
0:26.2	And then when I first tried it and consistently used it, I realized the power of black currents.
0:30.9	If you don't know about black currents, they're antioxidant berries grown in New Zealand.
0:35.0	And the studies I'm referencing have shown that consuming them
0:38.0	regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow and removing lactic acid. There was one study
0:43.3	that showed using two before consistently can improve athletic performance by 4.6%. And studies are one
0:49.4	thing, but it's another when the best athletes in the world are using that product. And this product is
0:54.1	actually used by professional running team, Tinman Elite, as well as athletes in the world are using that product. And this product is actually

1:10.1	training, looking for
1:11.2	a big fall season, whether that's cross country or a marathon, and I believe that this is a perfect
1:15.9	product for you. You guys can get 30% off of 2B4 with code. They're running effect 30. Not only does
1:22.3	this get you 30% off, but also free shipping. And as always, my DMs are always open if you have any questions.
1:28.4	But the fact that I've worked with this company for over a year now, hopefully shows you that
1:32.3	I believe in it. So without for their due, let's get into today's episode.
1:42.2	Ladies and gentlemen, today I have a very special episode for you guys. Kung Fu Kenny comes on the podcast today to share his story and ambitions.
