This BOOTHCAST is with Larry Cain and is brought to you by BOOTH Training. This one was a really interesting chat for me. Was quite cool drawing so many similarities between Larry and myself despite being a few years apart. Some similarities I found was our drive to succeed, focusing on what our passions are, our love for paddling, wanting to share our knowledge, striving to help others and a genuine respect for our competitors. Further to that was nice to hear what inspires him, his coaching philosophies, how he got into paddling, why SUP came to him at the right time, why he still gets on the water when it's freezing out, his mindset when competing and so much more. It was so insightful it was my longest podcast yet but don't worry there's so many lessons and nuggets of gold in there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
