For Ballant's Day this past year, I had arranged us to go salsa dancing after dinner.

And I got a little bit tanked.

So I stood up and I was like I said, I was a bit lit at the time and I slapped the table.

And I said, girl, we're going salsa dancing.

And so I had these slick shoes and I went to step down off the riser and just went flying

like because I was lit and the shoes were slick and I stepped down off the steps.

And I just went flying and my phone like I went falling out of my hand and everything.

And she walked, she looked at the table of the couple next to us, and she said,

that's my salsa dancer partner.

What is going on, guys? Welcome to another episode of the Boom Boom Performance Podcast.

Today's guest is my good friend Paul Carter, better known as Lift, Run, Bang. Not sure if he's better known as that, but that is his handle on instagram where he is very popular

that is his website as well um but paul carter is somebody who i've respected for a long time just

because i've known him as an author in the fitness space but as i got to know him um this year actually

and just went to a seminar and met him and hung out with him in person recently i've just come to

known that he is a,

I guess what I would consider a three-dimensional dude. Like he is more than just muscle and strength,

right? Like when you get to know him, he is very intellectual. He's very smart. He is emotionally

intelligent. He dives deep into some deep topics, talking about relationships, life, the struggles he's

gone through emotionally, spiritually, so on and so forth. So he's a great guy to talk to when it comes

to mentoring or just leading as a man in this world. But I think everybody's going to take away a lot

from this episode because, you know, we got on the show and most people would figure we're

going to talk about bodybuilding and powerlifting because he was a very high level competitor
