Recently found JK’s podcast through an interview with Joy Parish and then started listening to his episodes one off. They’re really informative / straight forward & he makes the information easy to digest. He’s recently become a part of my weekly rotation and I look forward to what he puts out next.
JK’s ability to explore a topic and offer fresh perspectives is truly remarkable. He gets straight to the point, challenging ideas we often take at face value—not with cynicism, but with a genuine desire to understand and rethink them. His honest curiosity makes him incredibly engaging, and every episode leaves me with new insights to consider.
JK has a way of inspiring through conversation that’s unmatched!
JK, just listened to your functional training podcast. Very well thought out and I agree with your points. You have a new fan. Also, I love the Garmin instinct 2. Bill Martin.
Thank you.
