Smelly is awesome! Thank you! You get motivated just hearing him talk. Did I get it right from his brother’s movie that he had a learning disability?
Which caused him to do exercises to a point of being sweaty thus the nickname Smelly.
I would like to know how that effected his development in training,life and business.
DW great question, bro, I will ask that for sure in Pt 2, Smelly and I have been talking thru e mails for over 10 years now, and we met about 3 1/2 yrs ago but we chat on the phone / text on the regular
Not only is he one of the most real, stand up guys I know, he’s smart as hell w/the training
He is a rare breed!
Smelly’s in tha house! yeah!
You always pick up some lesson from that guy. So much knowledge & great story teller as well.
You’re really hitting it now with all these podcasts. Thx, man.
BIG thanks, Sven, glad you love them, brotha!
Two of the best in the industry with Mark and Zach!
Josh! You’re the man! Psyched to crush a STRONGcast with you as well!
