I'm joined today on this mighty fine (and extra long) episode by my friend and fellow language enthusiast Edoardo Carlesi of Rome, Italy. Edoardo speaks 10 languages (!!!) and has a few tips, tactics, techniques, and strategies to share about his hobby - all of which I think you'll find helpful. Please note: there might be some naughty, not-kid-friendly language on this episode. Also, Edoardo's sound is terrible for some reason. Just turn your volume up, wouldja please? Enjoy!

I had the privilege of having Andrew Vojslavek on my show recently. A climbing enthusiast who was bitten by the iron bug, he decided that the only prescription was more kettlebell. I've been fortunate enough to have trained him both online and in person, and am glad to have played a part in the brave new role he now finds himself in: that of a newly minted SFG. Keep your eyes on him in the coming years as he'll no doubt be making a big splash.
