Best Pod Out There
This podcast offers a unique blend of being entertaining while also being super informative. It’s like in undergrad when you have your favorite professor teaching your favorite subject, even though it’s 9 am on a Friday and you were out at the bars the night before, you show up. Not by discipline or being motivated because you played the same video of David Goggins doing pull ups and belittling you for the 6th time, but by pure choice and excitement of hearing what Tim has to say about relevant topics. Forget other podcasts of people just chatting, subscribe to this one and add some brain cells instead of killing them.

He shares insights on up and coming trends (Strength and Conditioning, Sport Science, Nutrition, Health and Wellness) and his personal experiences from his many years of experience in the industry.
