Supportive dad of 2 girls ,

Actionable well beyond aesthetics.

CYOB has genuinely changed how I approach things with doable takeaways in each episode. I've found myself tweaking daily routines, being a bit more mindful with the kiddo, and even rethinking some work stuff—all from just tuning in. It's like those late-night heart-to-hearts we used to have, but with a wider range of topics. If you've got some time, give it a listen. I think you'll get where I'm coming from.

Great podcast

John and Billy bring on great guest. They are great at pulling out the best information from these guests. If you are a coach, this has to be on your list of weekly podcast to listen to!

John Mayer, a true legend of the game. Billy Allen, it just doesn’t get any better than him to represent the sport and all of athletics/ competition.…. Love these guys. Love the podcast. Great content. Amazing guests. Thank you for your work!
