#13. Brett Sparg - Life and Movement

Brett Sparg (@spargy15) - A good friend, mentor, and Greek-God-like human being introduces you to Episode 13! Admittedly, Spargs had been on my radar for some time before I had invited him to be apart of the show. We all have people in life whom we're watching (as creepy as that sounds!). These same people, should you connect with their personal philosophy, are the influencers we're learning and taking inspiration into our lives from through their zest for life. Personally, it was a no-brainer as over the last few months it became so apparent that it was now time to invite one of my "distant" role models to have a conversation with.  For those who don't know any of Brett's story; a born-and-bred Cape Tonian with a deep loving for the city and the surrounding ocean he grew up in. Just by watching his online fitness classes with the Ignite Fitness crew or a casual social media stalk, you may or may not be intimidated by this +40-year-old rugged stud and the way he moves in space and fitness #lifegoals. However, Spargs is a gentle giant with zero chip on his shoulder who radiates humility and to be honest - inspiration.  Our conversation ebbed and flowed between early childhood to adulthood victories in sports and the experiences which shaped his worldview on life as a result of it. I'll let you be the judge in deciding whether the under-6 50m sprint race had more of an effect on Spargy's life than "finding surfing" or playing 80 caps for the Saracens First Rugby team. As exceptionally interesting as what this was to talk about, there was a moment early on in our conversation which made me feel as if I was literally walking in the shoes of this brilliant man.  For the first time in a long while, I found that I was able to connect with another man almost twice my senior who could relate to ME and understand my journey as if it were me looking back in time. There's a beauty to this experience which even now, I struggle to really interpret. Spargs allowed himself to be vulnerable about his past and present during our conversation, which gave me the opportunity to truly connect with both.  Yes, his fitness, sporting & business accolades are something to admire. However, his relationship with life, people, and way of being is one that inspires. Enjoy! ----------------------------------------- Resources and key points: 00:00 - 04:49 - Practicing the heart-work 04:50 - 07:39 - Intro to Brett and our conversation Get in touch: Email: [email protected] FB: Brett Sparg IG: @spargy15 LI: Brett Sparg ----------------------------------------- Apple Podcast: Apple Podcast  Spotify: Spotify YouTube: YouTube Google Podcasts: Google Podcasts Instagram: @outcome_podcast Email: [email protected] Website: Coming Soon!
