Next steps: trademarks, speaking, and practical outreach

Well it only took 500-some episodes, but I finally made it happen!

Today we welcome the one and only Megan Young to the Physical Prep Podcast.

This conversation was so much fun, especially learning more about her journey from reluctant track and field thrower, to collegiate strength coach, to cancer survivor, and then finally with her success with the MLS’ Seattle Sounders.

Meg’s resilience and passion for S&C are truly inspiring, and I know you’re going to love learning more about her, as well as what she’s up to these days.

So without any further ado, let’s do this!
