Direction, Not Destination
Accepting things at face value is not something Derek Woodske has conditioned himself to do. Instead, he’s put in the energy and personal responsibility to do just the opposite. Maybe this is why he’s been a standout performer in the world of athletics, a reformative coach in strength and conditioning, and one of our biggest man-crushes of all time. Derek can be described as a deep thinker but to us, it’s his insatiable curiosity that makes him so unique. Fear mongering, obesity, Charles Poliquin, and goal setting are just a few of the topics we cover with our old friend this week. In a time when most of us are thirsty for honesty and open conversation, let this quench your minds.
Facts. When we eliminate being able to see and interpret the nuances of the human face, we hardly recognize it as “us”. Derek Woodske brings the knowledge and experience of having worked for many years in Saudi Arabia and having been privy to the religious and cultural norms. What are the foreseeable consequences of the COVID experience and what are some of the less obvious implications which will no doubt appear for years to come. Derek argues that mental health is one of the major issues getting the least amount of attention during this time. We’ve all experienced the effects of quarantine life but what about the most vulnerable of the population? Derek provides some insight into how he’s managed to navigate work, life, and mindset through this undetermined timeline.
