Hey y'all, welcome back! After a week off, we've got a phenomenal chat with Chris Keighley (@charliepapazulu) - head of coaching at Parkour Generations and one of my favorite educators in the parkour space.

This chat was prompted by a workshop that Chris gave at MoveNYC and subsequent conversations around the fine line coaches need to strike between freedom and exploration in parkour. It's a line I have often found myself on the "wrong" side of and one that I think Chris - more than many, many other coaches I've seen - has managed to master.

My apologies for his audio on this one...not entirely sure what happened but it ended up getting a bit compressed and maaaay sound like you're talking to your grandma over the phone. Please don't let that distract from the episode because there are some absolute knowledge bombs in this one!

Have a great weekend and I'll see ya next week! - Max

Welcome back! This week, we have Georgia Donati Clarke (@strengthwithg) on to chat about her experience learning parkour from some of Laurent Piemontesi's first students, becoming a leader in the UK scene, and her recent release of "The Female Parkour Programme," an online training program tailored specifically for female practitioners.

I found this one incredibly insightful from both a coaching and community building perspective. I really appreciate how passionate Georgia is about meeting people where they're at in their parkour journey and hope you enjoy that energy too!

This week's guest is Adam McClellan - a longtime friend and fantastic coach/gym owner from Lehigh Valley, PA.

Adam has been a fixture in the US parkour community since the mid-2000's and brings a calm, professional vibe to the scene that I've always respected. His most recent project - Parkour Professionals - aims to help other parkour business owners find a working mix of stoke and professionalism that will help them connect better with students, parents, and their local communities...without sacrificing the values that make training parkour feel so empowering.

I hope you enjoy this episode and get as much from it as I did!
