Calisthenics, Kaizen Philosophy, and Business Management W/ Tee Major
- Or listen in:
Greetings, SuperFriends!
Today we are joined, once again, by my friend Tee Major. If you haven't heard our first episode with Tee, you might want to check it out. He's a pretty awesome guy!
In that episode, we talked about all his experiences and the things that he has learned from training the world's most elite warriors. He's actually trained every single branch of the military, in their fitness regimen, and he's lived in places like Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
But now, in this episode, we're talking a little bit more about the actual, practical, hands-on of Calisthenics. For instance, what is Calisthenics, how does it fit into your fitness routine, and how you can remain fit and healthy on the go if you don't have access to equipment.
We also talked about some other stuff. In fact, we went into a total tangent about business management, and how the lessons learned there can make you a better human being in all of your relationships. I hope you folks get a lot of value out of that!
I really wanted to go on this tangent, as it's something I'm learning so much about. It was an opportunity for me to use the Feynman Technique and teach someone else what I've been learning.
So, without any further ado, I know you folks are really going to enjoy this episode with Tee Major!

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! 🙂
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldn’t make out the doctor’s name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
Thank you.
Maybe oarts of the things he has to share are right, maybe not. If I look at him which impact his nurturing and living style has on himself I see a very old looking man! He is year 1973!! That is not old and he looks definitly much older!! If I would not know his birthyear I would guess that he is in his mid-60ies!! A bit concering for someone who claims his lifestyle is suitable for a long life, isn’t it?
