The GMB Show is our on-again-off-again podcast where we talk about things that we expect people using our stuff to be interested in. Am I underselling it? Great, here’s where you can subscribe:
What the hell is the GMB Show?
GMB Show is a podcast that exists because we (Ryan, Jarlo, and Andy… and the rest of the team) care deeply about and really enjoy helping people learn to use their bodies better. Having worked with many thousands of clients, we’ve got a lot to say about how to figure out your priorities and train in a way that makes sense for you.
We speak from our experience, and since we’re lucky enough to have some really smart friends, we often have other coaches and experts in different fields join us to speak from their experience. We also make a lot of dumb jokes and go off on crazy rants about things that annoy us.
A few ways this is different from most other podcasts:
- We’re not really concerned with making ourselves sound smart and important
- There’s no ads or shilling, though if someone we respect has a new book or program out, we’ll probably talk about it
- We don’t do topics about BS like shredding your abs
- GMB Show isn’t about “inspiring” you to CRUSH IT
