Summary

This episode is about Chris Moore, the Barbell Buddha himself. We learn about what motivates him, what brings him joy, and the work he hopes to do with his life. It’s about his influence on us as athletes, podcasters, and human beings; his ability to constantly challenge himself and those around him; and his serious love for ice cream. It is also a small piece of Chris’ legacy, as barely 24 hours after this conversation was recorded, Chris passed away from sudden heart failure at his home in Amsterdam. But we know that Chris’ work is not over, and we are honored beyond description to have a small part in continuing to spread his message through this episode. We know you are going to love this interview. And if you’d like to help make Chris’ dreams for his art and his family a reality, please visit gofundme.com/mooreironheart
