Julian Ho Podcast Julian Ho

Can you believe this is my first ever interview with my twin brother??? In part 1, we get the ball rolling with introduction and context setting, then naturally land on the theme of 'identity', which anchors our conversation. It felt pretty cool interviewing Nathan, because we weren't just normally conversing, we were cognizant of an audience and theme, which hopefully came across like less ranting and just listening to two brothers talk. The purpose of this interview was originally set to discuss new fatherhood, but is growing to become much more holistic and wide-ranging, kind of like a BTS of the Twin Life. Stay tuned for Part 2!

BEI VITA Core team members Julian (fitness and wellness coach), Nathan (business expert), and Morgan (mental health lecturer) gather over the 2021 winter holidays to roundtable their thoughts on wellness in 2021. A great ‘fly on the wall’ listen to 3 leaders in their field, brain jamming, sharing, and enjoying quality time together.

@rory.ella.bray and I @julianho.ca chat about nutrition … but more about the psycho-socio-emotional side of nutrition and our relationship with food. We chat about how food impacts the culture of fitness, the negatives of diet culture, and tips for intuitive eating (a modern paradigm that can help with building a healthy relationship with food).

On this episode, @dustinpym and I, @julianho.ca chatted about mental fitness in the @sweatandtonic recording space. This conversation was spawned by a recent newsletter put out by Fitt Insider. It wrote about how mental health is now mainstream, and that in the pursuit of high performance, mastering the mental muscle has become yet another facet of health to optimize. Evidently, the business of mental health and mental fitness are trending focal points for investors, but at the frontline level, how are they being managed, treated, supported, and invested in by professionals/ practitioners for their participants/patients? The numbers showcase a lot, but often times, reports don't provide the whole picture, just like how stats and metrics can't provide us the whole picture of our health and fitness. Listen in on Dustin and Julian's conversation about their frontline work with mental fitness.  

I noticed that my buddy Dustin Pym was on another level this morning, so I decided to hit record. Dustin chats freely about the ‘awareness of mastery’ and then flows into how he uses rap and hip hop music as education for life. Some great little nuggets from two guys just having a great conversation.

In this episode Julian and Dustin chat about the mindset of "Work in Progress" and how it helps them to stay humble, but also to keep on keeping on during tough times. The notion that we are all works in progress balances the extremes of too much ego and not enough ego. By acknowledging that we are works in progress even at the "top", is a way to keep the ego in check, it also reminds us that the work-in-progress mindset is a silver lining when we hit rock bottom, and to be kind to ourselves on the journey of growth and development.
