And the more time we\u2019ve spent together, the more I\u2019ve seen how much of value he has to share.\nHe\u2019s found his way into the Renaissance of Men, as well, and is discovering how all the streams of his life are feeding into a singular expression of who he is, and what he can create in his life and in the lives of men.\nIn our three-hour conversation we discuss:\nThe world of pro bodybuilding, how he got into it, what he got from it, and how he got out of it\nThe world of personal training and the effort required to create transformation in people\nBrazilian jiu-jitsu and his love for competition\nHis family background, and how it helped set him up for a life of success\nWhat it means to LARP, or live-action-role play your personal development (to borrow a phrase from Tanner Guzy)\nHow fitness ties into spirituality\nThe meaning behind the hashtag \"post physique\", why it works in communities of men today, and where it falls short.\nAs you can tell, Derek and I enjoy talking about these topics and we hope that you enjoy our conversation \u2014 or at least that it\u2019s better than dragging your dick across glass.\nThanks to Rob at The Grounded Athlete, for bringing us together.\nTo follow Derek on Instagram, click here\nTo visit Derek\u2019s website Volition Training, click here\nTo follow The Grounded Athlete on Instagram, click here\nTo follow the Holistic Psychologist on Instagram, click here\nTo read \u201cConscious Coaching\u201d by Brett Bartholomew, click here\nVisit https://renofmen.com to sign up to be notified about exciting upcoming news.\nConnect with us on Instagram and Twitter.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
