Summary

Host Brad Kearns talks to young YouTube sensation Nathanael Morton about the benefits of integrating explosive, ballistic jumping exercises into your fitness routine and the integration of his positive energy and self-help message into his fitness videos. Nathanael offers some interesting insights about being overconfident as an athlete and then experiencing failure that forced him to recalibrate and then put in the hard work and focus necessary to be successful.

You'll be captivated by the incredible self-imposed challenge that Nathanael completed, where he decided to run 111 miles in a single week despite not training as a runner for 10 years. The stunt was inspired by extreme athlete David Goggins and Nathanael wanted to explore his outer limits as an athlete and see what happened. Don't try this at home but take the inspirational message to heart - be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to reach the goals that you really want and believe in.
