Navigating Stress and Success with Justin Jones

Navigating Stress and Success with Justin Jones

Author: Chris Liddle November 24, 2024 Duration: 59:25

In this episode of the Chasing Common Ground podcast, I’m joined by Justin Jones, owner of Assemble Performance. We talk about the concept of hybrid athletes—individuals training for both strength and endurance—and make it relatable for people who may be tuning in learning about the term for the first time. Justin shares insights from his diverse coaching experience and provides actionable advice for busy parents and professionals balancing fitness with life’s demands. The conversation spans Justin's military background, how personal setbacks fueled his coaching passion, and the importance of real, meaningful connections in the age of social media. Justin and I also discuss the value of travel, nurturing familial bonds through fitness, and strategies for holistic well-being. This episode is packed with personal anecdotes, coaching wisdom, and life strategies aimed at making fitness and mental resilience accessible to everyone.Learn more about Justin here:https://www.instagram.com/justinsjones/Follow me here:https://www.instagram.com/christianliddle/

Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle is a space for thoughtful dialogue that lives between categories. Host Chris Liddle believes meaningful progress comes from connecting ideas across the usual boundaries of education, culture, and self-improvement. Each episode, whether a solo reflection or a conversation with a guest, is built on a simple, powerful question: where can we find shared understanding? This isn't about quick fixes or passive listening. It's a purpose-driven exploration of the habits, philosophies, and societal shifts that shape our daily lives. The aim is to uncover practical insights and nuanced perspectives that resonate, helping you move forward incrementally but intentionally. You'll hear discussions that feel like a good, meandering talk with a curious friend-one that leaves you with something to chew on, not just consume. The podcast deliberately avoids easy labels, weaving together threads from personal development, cultural commentary, and societal observation to examine what a considered life can look like. It’s an ongoing series for anyone tired of echo chambers and interested in the subtle art of building a better year, and a better self, through conversation. Tune in for a consistently engaging mix of voices and topics that all circle back to that essential chase for common ground.
