David runs a website called Big Picture Soccer and he's been looking closely at applying ecological dynamics to sports coaching for a number of years. Naturally he's been following our ongoing conversations around motor learning, ecological dynamics, cognition and meaning making, and after my last chat with John Vervaeke he wanted to talk with me a bit about ecological psychology. What started as an informal conversation ended up covering a lot of ground and being quite interesting, so I decided to record the rest of our chat and share it with you here on the podcast. ============ Learn More about David Farrokh Web: https://www.bigpicturesoccercoaching.com/ ============ 👍To support the podcast please like, share, subscribe and turn on the notifications by hitting the bell icon. 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMo... - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind... - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley

With about 15 years of training and 11 years of coaching and performing, Oliver is one of the most experienced parkour and freerunning athletes in Denmark. If you keep an eye on viral parkour videos, you’ve probably seen footage of his amazing ability to scale buildings with incredible speed and precision. I wanted to get Oliver on the show not only because of his incredible skill, but also because he helped pen a really interesting blog article responding to some of Theo Tanchak’s YouTube parkour science breakdowns. I thought this would be a great chance to really dig into the scientific side of parkour and to see what methodology and philosophy he has around training at an elite level.

Brandee is the founder of Citizen Operating Systems, which aims to encourage civic responsibility, create investment in challenging diseases of civilization, and empower extraordinary action by ordinary citizens through a unique blend of parkour, martial arts and other self defense disciplines. Back in the day, Brandee was one of my very first apprentice coaches at Parkour Visions and she was really the first person to open my eyes to the important distinction between coaching as a science and an art. Where I was very drawn to creating detailed programs for athletic progression, Brandee’s classes were about creating a profound experience for the student, and that was reflected by the continual praise her students shared with me about her abilities as an instructor. So I was really excited to bring her on and talk specifically about her recent work around self defense training and using parkour as a vital expression of that practice. For anyone who’s ever been interested in self preservation training, or who has ever thought about how the practices of martial arts and parkour can mutually benefit and enhance one another, this episode will be right up your alley. ============ Learn More about Brandee Laird Web: https://www.citizenoperatingsystems.co/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/CitizenOperatingSystems IG: https://www.instagram.com/monkeemoves/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/citizenoperatingsystems/ ============ 👍To support the podcast please like, share, subscribe and turn on the notifications by hitting the bell icon. 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMo... - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind... - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley

That area specifically is postmodernism and its overall effect on the development of the culture wars. We’ll go into what’s going on with the rise of the culture war, how it interacts with the problems of modernity, as well as look at the rise of postmodernism and what positive aspects we can learn from it as well as why it fails in some senses. We’ll also see how all this is rooted in 4E cognitive science, embodiment and ecological psychology, so it’s a very deep and rich conversation that may be a bit too technical for viewers who haven’t interacted with John's work in the past. I highly recommend checking out our previous episodes with John as well as diving into his youtube series “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis” if you haven’t had the chance to do so yet.

Interestingly enough, he is also the first person to ever host an Evolve Move Play seminar, so we go way back, and it was great to get the chance to catch up with him during this chat. The overall theme of this episode is about tapping into the deeper, more meaningful aspects of physical culture and the myriad downstream benefits that spring forth from a practice that’s focused on more than just “exercise”. We are going to examine the ways in which movement practice is tightly interwoven with our sense of self worth, our sense of community, our connection to nature, and even in the ways in which we express ourselves. These added layers of depth, that go mostly ignored by conventional fitness programs, not only make our movement practices more sustainable and enjoyable, but they also continuously afford us opportunities to shape our character and grow into the most admirable versions of ourselves. For those who are ready to begin, we’ll talk about how you can get started on that journey as well as some common practice pitfalls to look out for down the road. I really enjoyed this conversation with Jason and I hope to have him back on the show too.

Just hit the link below to chat with us between shows and in the next live episode! 👉 Join on https://cart.evolvemoveplay.com/plus/ ============ What’s up everyone? This week we have the pleasure of welcoming our good friend Travis Lee on to the podcast. Travis has been a strong leader in the parkour community for many years now and has just recently opened a new facility, Outrun Parkour, out in Fort Collins, CO. He and I met at the second ever Return to the Source retreat that I hosted here in Seattle and I really enjoyed having him there because we share so many similar ideas and viewpoints about movement practice, philosophy, meaning and coaching. He has a strong background not only in parkour, but in martial arts, specifically Chinese martial arts which he fell in love with after taking a deep interest in Taoism and the Chinese language. This offers a really interesting foundation for our dialogue to address some of the concepts of meaning that we’ve been following from not only a more eastern perspective, but a more movement based perspective, that I think you will get a lot out of. We’ll go deeply into the differing aspects of “Do” and “Jitsu” and the importance of understanding, and being honest about what your practice affords you and how to get more value out of the time you devote to self cultivation. I really enjoyed this chat, and I hope to have Travis back on the show sometime in the near future. I will say you should especially watch this episode if you’re on the fence about joining us for one of our retreats because Travis really does a great job of getting to the heart of why the experience is so powerful and important for people of all skill levels. ============ Learn More about Travis Lee Web: https://outrunparkour.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCciIgGQ6_lxnHeyondwI_Mw IG: https://www.instagram.com/travisgrantlee/ Tiktok: @outrunparkour ============ Books in this episode: The Righteous Mind: Jonathan Haidt https://amzn.to/34eYBNN Athletes Mentioned: Dante Graziolli YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/grazida0276 IG: https://www.instagram.com/dantegrazioli/ Dylan Baker YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/prim8pk IG: https://www.instagram.com/dylanwellsbaker/ Amos Rendao YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/FreerunParkourUkemi IG: https://www.instagram.com/amosrendao/ Ryan Ford YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DemonDrills https://www.instagram.com/ryanmford/ Jesse & Justin Clark IG: https://www.instagram.com/jesseaclark/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/justin_outrun/ ============ 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement/ - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley ============

Pageau is an Icon Carver by trade, a commentator on symbolism on youtube and devout Eastern Orthodox Christian. I met Pageau in 2017 at a Jordan Peterson speaking event. Jonathan was also a speaker there going over how art reveals patterns of being. Honestly, at the time I had no idea what he was talking about, but Jonathan would end up doing a number of dialogues with Jordan and responses to his videos. I followed his work because as someone coming to Jordan’s work from an atheist perspective I wanted to understand how it was being interpreted from the religious side, this was the same reason I followed Paul Vander Klay. When Pageau started engaging in Dialogues with John Vervaeke, I started to gain a deeper understanding of his approach and a better appreciation for his insights. In the process of my conversations with Paul Vander Klay and John Vervaeke I became increasingly interested in getting the chance to dialogue with Jonathan and understand his perspective more directly. I was especially intrigued for this interview after watching Jonathan's discussions with Rationality Rules and Adam Friend, who were both Atheist rationalists. I thought the conversations took interesting directions but suffered from being unable to accept each other's frames. I hoped I could manage that better and I believe I did. This turned out to be a fantastic and intriguing discussion for me that covered a lot of ground and established some good underlying foundations to bridge the mythological and scientific world view. There was a point near the end beyond which we could not progress but I believe that in getting there, much was gained. I look forward very much to your feedback on this episode and the others we’ve had like it. ============ Learn More about Jonathan Pageau Web: https://thesymbolicworld.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonathanPageau/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PageauJonathan ============ Books in this episode: Maps of Meaning: Jordan Peterson https://amzn.to/3vls7NF The Righteous Mind: Jonathan Haidt https://amzn.to/34eYBNN Spell of the Sensuous https://amzn.to/33wICds Blogs mentioned The godlessness that failed https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/10/30/new-atheism-the-godlessness-that-failed I can tolerate anything except the outgroup https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/ ============ 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement/ - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley ============

How does it show up in our mind and especially in our bodies? Where do we draw the line between our trustworthy intuition that protects us from danger, and the loud, distracting self doubts that hold us back from reaching our fullest potential? These questions are incredibly important because, like it or not, fear is a natural part of our humanity and as uncomfortable as it may be at times, we stand nothing to gain by habitually avoiding it. So today I’ve brought Flynn Disney on to the podcast who’s ideas and work around managing fear has become highly respected among some of the greatest names in the parkour world. We’ll talk about the physiology and psychology behind fear, the importance of empathy and understanding in coaching students to work through their fear blocks, and how some of the top names in the sport embody the ideas we’re covering. We’ll also dive into some more spiritual/philosophical ideas that come up in general parkour practice and how we can better aim our physical practices to create a more meaningful and rewarding life for ourselves. ============ Learn More about Flynn Disney Web: https://www.flynndisney.com/exploration-group Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0NVPXJJCJzJYqiC3o9wqdG IG: @flynndisney ============ Books in this episode: The Second Apocalypse Series: R Scott Baker The Righteous Mind: Jonathan Haidt ============ 👍To support the podcast please like, share, subscribe and turn on the notifications by hitting the bell icon. 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement/ - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley ============

John Vervaeke took an interest in my recent conversations with Paul Vander Klay and reached out to continue the discussion as a three way dialogue. John is of course both a good friend and massive influence for both Paul and I so we were very interested in having John join us to continue this ongoing discussion. As it turned out the conversation focused to a significant degree on what is happening within me in relationships to the question of spirituality or religion, which is quite personal thing to share but I think the openness of the discussion and the fact there are three people occupying quite different places in relationship to it make it useful for anyone curious about these questions. As we finish the conversation John frames the question this way: Does the answer to the meaning crisis lie in conservatism(a return to tradition) or in something new and emergent. This is really the center of the discussion. Wherever your stand on that question I think the questions we grapple with are insightful and certainly conversing with these two has been deeply informative for me. For now I plan to leave this topic behind for a while, and return to more of a focus on movement practices specifically with some discussion of the influence of wisdom traditions from Taoism and Buddhism coming up as well. Please share your thoughts with us on what you get out of these conversations.

As it turned out, we had an amazing response to that episode and since I also really got a lot out of that conversation, I wanted to follow up with Paul pretty quickly and take the opportunity to dig into some of the threads that we didn't get to follow in the first chat. Going into today’s talk, I wanted to challenge him more and be a little bit of a stick in the mud intentionally because I think there are seriously important criticisms that we have to take on and it’s important to examine the difficult aspects around the role of Christianity in the history of the west. So I wanted to put this to Paul and see what his response was, and in doing so, this became a very deep conversation with some really powerful moments, especially towards the second half. I'm very excited to see how people respond to this and I'm very thankful to Paul for having these conversations with me as they've taught me a lot, so I hope you all get as much as I did out of it. ============ Learn More about Paul Vander Klay Web: https://paulvanderklay.me/about-2/ Twitter:@PaulVanderKlay YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsDIP_K6J6VSTqlq-9IPlg ============ Books Mentioned in Today’s Episode: 1493 by Chales Mann The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abrahm The Discarded Image by CS Lewis Notes From the Underground by Leo Tolstoy Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt ============ 👍To support the podcast please like, share, subscribe and turn on the notifications by hitting the bell icon. 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement/ - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley ============

Embodying Virtue With John Vervaeke And Nick Winkelman | EMP Podcast 72
There are times I am a bit shocked by the wonderful connections that I have been blessed to facilitate through my work and the EMP podcast. The friendship that’s formed between John and Nick is one of the strange and wonderful connections. If you have been following the podcast you’ll definitely be familiar with John Vervaeke Director of Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto, author of Zombies in Western Culture and creator of the YouTube series Awakening from the Meaning Crisis, who has become one of my primary mentors. Nick Winkelman is back for his second appearance and is another of my favorite thinkers, the Author of the Language of Coaching, Director of Science and Performance for Irish Rugby and former Director of Athlete Preparation for the NFL combine at Exos. I introduced Nick to John’s work during our first interview in May of last year. Since then Nick and John have formed a friendship and ongoing dialogue of their own— one that resonates deeply with the central themes of Evolve Move Play. Their second interview on John’s channel was the inspiration for this discussion, in particular a discussion they had around shamanism and its relationship to the cognitive science concept of enactedness and Nick’s work around analogies in motor learning. While that was the starting point, this conversation became a deep dive into the role of embodiment and physical practices in overcoming the meaning crisis, how we scaffold up more integrated selves and better sense making from our physical practices, and how we can bring the sense making conversation down into the body. I think you guys will get a ton out of this one! ============ Learn More about John Vervaeke YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyre9Ij2nCg&ab_channel=JohnVervaeke Twitter: @vervaeke_john Learn More about Nick Winkelman IG: @nickwinkelman Twitter: @NickWinkelman ============ ============ 👍To support the podcast please like, share, subscribe and turn on the notifications by hitting the bell icon. 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement/ - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley ============

How To Cue A Kangaroo With Joel Smith | EMP Podcast 71
Hey guys this week our guest on the podcast is strength and performance expert and fellow podcast host Joel Smith. Joel is a self declared Kangaroo and, like myself, a geek about the art of cueing and communicating with Athletes. The last 3 weeks have had heavy emphasis on meaning and spirituality with some challenging material. It’s fun to return to the more familiar ground of how we get athletes to run faster, jump higher, and be all around more adaptable. Joel’s Just Fly Performance Podcast (link below) is one of my two favorites in the strength and performance arena. He has collected an incredible set of guests and has synthesized this wide array of thinkers concepts in distinct and insightful ways throughout his work as collegiate strength and conditioning coach and author. Joel has a lot to share when it comes to how we build the most adaptable athletes possible. I had a great time talking with him, and I hope you will all enjoy this conversation as much as I did. ============ Learn More about Joel Smith Web: https://www.just-fly-sports.com/ Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/user/jumpscoach214 IG: @justflysports ============ Books Mentioned in this Episode: -Speed Strength by Joel Smith ============ 👍To support the podcast please like, share, subscribe and turn on the notifications by hitting the bell icon. 👤 VISIT US ONLINE - EMP Website: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com - EMP Shop: https://shop.evolvemoveplay.com - IG: @RafeKelly - http://www.instagram.com/rafekelley/ - FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - https://www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement/ - Twitter: @rafekelley - https://twitter.com/rafekelley - YT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1 - Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/rafekelley ============

Modernity, Christianity and Meaning With Paul Vander Klay | EMP Podcast 70
On this podcast we have dug deeply into the topic of meaning and recent episodes have had a strong focus on spirituality. This however will be the first time we are dealing really directly with Christianity. One might reasonably ask why a podcast formed to talk about movement practice and the science connected to it is featuring a Christian reformed church pastor? Over the years though what we have discovered is that fundamentally we believe the purpose of movement practice is the cultivation of a meaningful life and the development of personal and communal virtue. John Vervaeke, the podcast's most recurrent guest and one of my close friends and mentor has gone so far as to joke that what we have built is a church. I demur from that label, because I fear the dogmatism that can be attached and taking on a scope that is inappropriate. Still I am increasingly convinced that the function the church has played for individuals and communities needs to be recaptured. To do that I believe we in the west need to grapple with the legacy both positive and negative of Christianity. Paul is an amazing partner for such a conversation, while we differ in our relative positions on Christianity, we both share a deep interest in understanding the meaning crisis and share a study of the works of Vervaeke and Jordan Peterson. I have found Paul to be a great resource for insight into understanding those to bodies of work as well as connecting them to broader conversations. Without an understanding of how Christianity has structured our society, where it failed and where it benefited us, I don’t think we can effectively solve the problems we face today, move towards more effectively overcoming the problems of late modernity, and rebuild more meaningful lives and more virtuous selves and communities. This conversation felt quite personal and deep. I know some of you will find the Christian aspect off putting and I understand that, but I think there are insights and principles here that you can gain from no matter what your religious or non religious beliefs are. ============ Learn More about Paul Vander Klay Web: https://paulvanderklay.me/about-2/ Twitter:@PaulVanderKlay YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGsDIP_K6J6VSTqlq-9IPlg ============ Books Mentioned Today: Notes from the Underground - Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevsky Maps of Meaning - Jordan Peterson Zombies in Western Culture - John Vervaeke The Secret of our Success - Joseph Henrich The Alchemy of Air - Thomas Hager Miracles - CS Lewis ============ 🤸🌲Looking to start your natural movement practice?🌲🤸 Join our 30 day EMP Foundations program!

Yoga, Parkour And The Love Based Practice With Jeppe Skovgaard | EMP Podcast 69
Hello and welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast! This week our guest is Jeppe Skovgaard, a long time parkour practitioner, yogi, and the founder of Rört, a mixed-modality movement facility in Copenhagen. Jeppe’s story has a lot of similarities to my own, we both spent the early part of our careers demanding too much of our bodies to the point that we experienced some serious repercussions. Thankfully we both took our experiences as a cue that we needed to change the way we approach our practice and our health. For Jeppe, yoga was the answer, so we go into his experience with parkour and yoga and what he's learned in the interaction between those things. We also talk a lot about the need to balance yin and yang, and the idea that movement can give us something much more deeply meaningful than just external performance. So I think if you are interested in the themes of spirituality that have been coming up in the last few episodes, this will be a really good one for you. There's no mysticism, but there is a lot of respect for the idea that we can aim our practice at something more than simply external, subjective metrics of skill and fitness. Let’s take a good look at how movement influences the way we build character, communities, and meaning in our lives!

Meaning, Spirituality & Holistic Health with Paul Chek | Part 2 | EMP Podcast Episode 68
If you missed the first half of our conversation with Paul, go and give that a listen first! This half of the conversation centers around our perspectives on meaning, spirituality and how they interact with health and fitness. Paul is one of the first people in the fitness industry to really start a deeper conversation around how our physical practices can impact how we experience well being in the world. However, there's also an interesting dynamic to our conversation because we do have some differences in opinion and various tensions in how we see things.

What Is Holistic Health With Paul Chek | Part 1 | EMP Podcast 67
The body is not a machine, and the brain is not a computer. Hey everyone, welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast. This week my guest is Paul Chek, a world-renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management and holistic wellness. Over the last three decades Paul has been an incredible force for reconnecting people to the beautiful, complex ecology that is human health as well as helping many of the world's top athletes overcome otherwise career-ending injuries and reclaim their ability to sustain their practice. In the first half of our two part episode we’ll take a look at how the modern conventional fitness paradigm is optimized more for selling products than actually helping people achieve lasting health and wellness and what people can do to begin taking steps towards a better system. We’ll also discuss the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the importance of skin in the game, and how to determine whether a coach is worth their salt. Next week we’ll wrap up this conversation by diving into the subjects of meaning and mysticism!

Moana, Jordan Peterson And The Divine Feminine With Chloe Valdary | EMP Podcast 66
Welcome back to another episode of the Evolve Move Play podcast! This week my guest is Chloe Valdary, a public intellectual and writer who has been published by the Atlantic, New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Chloe is the founder of Theory of Enchantment which helps businesses fight racism systematically by combining the teaching of Dr. Martin Luther King with developmental psychology and pop culture materials. Through her work she aims to help others develop their understanding of social emotional learning and improve their ability to take care of each other. The three fundamental principles of her method around conflict resolution are: 1) Treat people as individuals, not political abstractions. 2) Criticize to uplift and inspire, never to tear down and destroy. 3) Root everything you do in love and compassion. I really loved the way that she brings these things together in her work in promoting the idea of Agapic love and how we can change our ways of thinking to improve our connection to each other. I was also particularly interested in talking to Chloe because we share an interest in the work of Jordan Peterson and the idea of archetypal stories. So this discussion revolves mostly around the idea of the divine feminine and masculine and how understanding of those two aspects can help us come to solve some of the social dilemmas that we face.

Can You Train Less and Gain More? With Mindful Mover Philip Chubb | EMP Podcast 62
Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Evolve Move Play Podcast. In this episode I'll be interviewing the Mindful Mover himself, Philip Chubb! Philip specializes in teaching people strength development using gymnastic strength and barbell training, and he is highly influenced by the ideas of high intensity training and Nassim Taleb. I really enjoyed talking to Phil and I think that he has a lot to say that can help people get more out of their practice with less invested time, which is especially critical for those of us who have busy schedules, or who just don’t want to spend 3-6 days a week in the gym.

An Anthropological Look at Human Tree Climbing with George Brill | EMP Podcast 61
Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast. This week our guest is George Brill! George is a young anthropologist and athlete who trains in ultra running, rock climbing, and freediving.

In this conversation we go deep into anthropological theory, evolutionary and cultural backgrounds, how human beings evolved their locomotive capacities, as well as the intersection between spirituality, movement and traditional lifestyles, which I think you guys will find really fascinating.

Exploring The Parkour Roadmap With Max Henry | EMP Podcast 60
Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play Podcast! This week our guest is Max Henry, a veteran of the parkour scene and the author of The Parkour Roadmap. Max is a very thoughtful guy who has traveled all over the world and done extensive stunt work and worked at a very high level within parkour. I was initially interested in touching base with him also because he's taken interest in the philosophical side of the sport and understanding the hero's journey and how that applies to our practice within parkour. Among other things, in this chat we dug deep into Max's personal physical practice and how he builds himself up and prepares for challenges. I think if you are interested in how high level parkour is practiced, and how people build up for that practice, this is gonna be a really fantastic interview for you to watch.

Evolution, Covid - 19 And Natural Selection With Spencer Wells: EMP Podcast 55
Today we're joined by geneticist, anthropologist, author, entrepreneur, and adjunct professor at the University of Texas at Austin, Spencer Wells! He's going to help us take a closer look at human evolution and share his insights on the current state of the coronavirus pandemic. 👍 Liked it? Like it! ♥️ Loved it? Subscribe! (if you haven't already) --------------- 🗒️ SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Intro 05:47 - Considering Covid-19 13:39 - Evolutionary Myths and Misconceptions 29:14 - Risk and Immunity 34:21 - Engineering vs Complex Systems 41:14 - Natural Selection 46:46 - The Origins of Europeans and Puerto Ricans 01:09:29 - The Disease Drive 01:18:02 - Outro A big reason that we lean into the study of play so much is because it’s a profoundly powerful learning system that exists to drive us towards our most genetically relevant skills and abilities. Children climb, jump, roughhouse, throw and creatively use objects like sticks and stones because those physical abilities have been crucial for the survival of our species for an incredibly long time. Yet biology and evolution are incredibly complex and when it comes to human health, it can be easy to fall into the trap of reductionism. There will never be any diet or movement routine that can act as a definitive cure-all for the entire population. Even routines that work wonders for one person can be ineffective or detrimental to another person, so it’s highly important to keep an objective mindset and pay attention to nuance when looking to build a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. The fact that our evolutionary heritage is both highly relevant and staggeringly complex means that we should look to experts like our guest Spencer Wells to draw insights from that can help ground our understanding and make better decisions about our health as modern day humans. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/emp-podcast-ep-55-spencer-wells/ --------------- ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!

In a lot of ways this is a continuation of the concepts we presented last time John was on the show; chiefly of the importance of the sage archetype for it’s expert ability to understand and draw wisdom from many sources— even those that may seem to be at complete odds with one another. This is a staggeringly difficult process, and it’s made even harder by the fact that many of the guiding doctrines and institutions we have available to us do little to cultivate a broad and balanced viewpoint of the world. In fact many actively guide us away from that balance. So in today’s conversation we’re going to dive into some of the ways this shows up in our culture and how it has a lasting effect on our ability to find meaning in life and develop deep connections to ourselves and the world around us. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/meaning-balance-spirituality-john-v-ep-54/ ✅ ------------------------------ ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!

Stop Chasing Pain PART 2 with Perry Nickelston: EMP Podcast 52
You don't have to be injured to experience a great deal of physical pain.

When our lower back aches, or our shoulder cries out every time we put it into extension, it might make sense to assume that there’s something wrong with the joint or the connective tissue around the affected area, but that’s not always the case. So how do you determine the true source of your chronic pain issues? It can be a difficult journey, as many of the things that cause our body the most stress are of mental and emotional origin. Things like anxiety, or past traumas, can be stored in the body and create an inflammatory response that begins to have downstream effects, one of which is chronic pain... ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/stop-chasing-pain-2-perry-nickelston-ep-52/ ------------------------------ ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Course! 📩 https://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/inp?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=inp_member_corona2020&utm_content=inp-invitation-page ------------------------------ ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!

STOP CHASING PAIN Part 1 With Perry Nickelston: EMP Podcast 51
How can play and movement variability bring relief to those who are suffering from chronic pain? Dr. Perry Nickelston is joining us today to talk about the complex subject that is pain science, and how our thoughts and emotions play a bigger role in chronic pain than most people imagine. 👍 Liked it? Like it! ♥️ Loved it? Subscribe! (if you haven't already) ------------------------------ 🗒️ SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Intro 06:28 - Perry’s Background 10:05 - Play and Pain 25:17 - Psychological Injuries 39:18 - Climbing and Whole Foods Movement 48:59 - Social Safety and Play 01:00:42 - Transforming through Movement 01:13:50 - Outro One of the most powerful things about playful movement is its ability to nourish the mind, body and emotional states in an integrative fashion. When a person’s chronic pain is stemming from a deep sense of fear or anxiety around movement, being able to engage in rewarding physical activity that sparks a sense of joy and fulfillment is an incredible tool for overcoming the neurological barriers that they are experiencing. Today’s episode of the EMP podcast is the first of a two part conversation that centers around pain, play, and how we can better our lives by understanding how the brain and body are one complex, integrated organism. When we individuate our physical and neurological systems, we can stop chasing pain and better equip ourselves to treat the root cause of our dysfunctions. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/stop-chasing-pain-perry-nickelston-ep51/ ------------------------------ ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Course! 📩 https://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/inp?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=inp_member_corona2020&utm_content=inp-invitation-page ------------------------------ ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!

If every day you were able to connect to the wild power inside of you and use it to forge a life of freedom, strength, and adventure, then suddenly certain conventional fitness practices would have a renewed sense of value to you. Rather than working out just to work out, with endless routines to hit every muscle from every angle, your practice would reveal what missing pieces are most crucial to you and allow you to focus your gym time on developing the aspects of your health and function that would directly translate back into the practice you love so much. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/fitness-movement-emp-ep-50-kelly-starrett/ ------------------------------ ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Course! 📩 https://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/inp?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=inp_member_corona2020&utm_content=inp-invitation-page ------------------------------ ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!

Establishing The Essential Practices With Kelly Starrett: EMP Podcast 49

At the very least we run the risk of closing ourselves off to new lessons and practices that can be hugely beneficial to us. At worst we can become blinded to our own health and function, drive ourselves into the ground and do irreparable damage. This is one of the biggest benefits of being a generalist mover. Engaging in a wide variety of practices that cultivate your weaknesses and cover each other's blind spots not only improves your overall health, it gives you a more sustainable pathway towards learning and growth. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/essential-practices-with-kstar-emp-ep-49/ ------------------------------ ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Membership! 📩 https://courses.evolvemoveplay.com/inp?utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=inp_member_corona2020&utm_content=inp-invitation-page ------------------------------ ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!

While they may not be conventional warriors, are the loving mother, the healer, or the shepherd any less heroic? They face chaos and adversity not with sword and shield, but with compassion and wisdom. What we want to point out in this episode is that there is an archetype that embodies both the gentle and firm aspects of heroism, and striving to embody this archetype is a far more relevant and useful aim than putting all our eggs in the basket of warrior-hood. That archetype is the Sage. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/heroic-sage-with-john-vervaeke-episode-48/ ------------------------------ ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Membership!

It also paved the way for deeper levels of personal expression and emotional sophistication... The deeper our connection to movement is, the more we are able to understand the emotions and expressions of those around us, and the more we can express ourselves to the world.

When we are stuck inside, it can be very difficult to feel any level of connection to the things that nourish us most, including our tribe, movement, and nature. As it turns out, even if we’re limited in our ability to move around and access rugged and wild places, we can still take time out of our day to check in with the nature that exists around us. Believe it or not, cities are full of non-human life, and with a little effort, we can shift our awareness to notice the unfolding stories of the plants and animals that we had previously been blind to. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/nature-connection-with-kyle-koch-podcast-46/ ------------ ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Membership!

Aliveness And The Value Of Opposition With Matt Thornton: EMP Podcast 44
In order to grow and find truth, we have to test our abilities against an opposing force. Whether you're a scientist, a business person, or a martial artist... the process of competition is vital in finding truth and value in your discipline. 👍 Liked it? Like it! ♥️ Loved it? Subscribe!

We have to put our efforts under fire and see what works and what doesn't time and time again. If we forego that opponent processing, we lose a fundamental source of information about the quality of our practice which can set us up for catastrophic failure down the line. On today's podcast we're going to dive into aliveness and the value of opposition with our good friend Matt Thornton. We are going to talk at length about how these principles and others are being applied in his schools to create a truly effective and sustainable Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practice for his students, as well as how any practitioner of any art can identify the fundamentals of their practice and train in a more alive manner.

Nassim Taleb, Strength And Uncertainty With Erich Lin: EMP Podcast 43
Is your movement practice in need of some spring cleaning? Erich Lin has spent years cutting through the clutter of his strength training program and his philosophy can help you get more gains in less time, so you can spend more time practicing what you love. 👍 Liked it? Like it! ♥️ Loved it? Subscribe! (if you haven't already) ---------------- 🗒️ SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Erich Lin Intro 05:28 - Philosophy of Health 14:12 - Importance of feedback 22:00 - Phenomenology v. Theory 27:23 - The Lindy Effect and Fitness Function 47:33 - Aiming Your Gains and skill transfer 01:02:28 - Bayesian Thinking and Warm Ups 01:25:49 - Exploiting and Exploring 01:42:01 - The Big 5 Strength Exercises 01:56:02 - The Role of Volume on Training Balance 02:03:41 - Coronavirus 02:17:51 - Outro At EMP we are big proponents of doing the 20% of each practice that gives you 80% of the benefits. For instance, we don't waste time punching tennis balls against a wall because we learn hand eye coordination, rhythm and timing and many other skills in our sparring practice. The point is there's a process that you can go through to test your practice and weed out the aspects of your training that are overly redundant or downright useless. Our guest today has taken this approach to its extreme in the realm of strength training. Whereas most trainers would be able to give you a binder full of exercises to add to your program, Erich Lin has whittled his routine down to what he calls "The Big 5" strength exercises. His philosophy is that with a minimalist approach to the number of exercises, sessions, sets, and repetitions you perform, you can still make incredible gains in strength. Not only that, the specific exercises he uses actually offer free gains in other movements without doing any dedicated work towards those skills. ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/nassim-taleb-uncertainty-erich-lin-ep-42/ ---------------- ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Membership! 📩 Join now: https://evolvemoveplay.thrivecart.com/inp50 ---------------- ⛰️ Nature Immersion and Movement Retreats: Nothing can take you deeper into a truly alive movement practice than one of our very exclusive movement retreats!
