Doping Scandals & Olympics Corruption - Zack Telander - #412

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Zack Telander. He's a weightlifter, coach and a YouTuber. And he rang me yesterday in a frenzy about some Olympics corruption and doping scandals. So we thought we'd do a podcast about it. Also, we get to talk about my trip to Nashville to see Mikhaila and Jordan Peterson, why I think Canada has committed an act of international sabotage by poisoning me, the International Olympic Committee's newest bombshell threat to the entire weightlifting world, why corruption is so rampant in the sport of weightlifting, what Zack thinks can be done about drugs and sports, and much more. Quite a surprising number of people happy about the prospect of joining a cult the other day. I mentioned that Modern Wisdom is kind of like a cult, and it seems like that really resonated with everyone. Eddie Jones episode and the Vincent Haranam episode, this week has been fire. In all of December has been awesome. So thank you to everyone who has joined the cult, who's decided to co-opt in. If you've got the tattoos, if you've joined the commune, if you've taken the LSD, you are welcome here. This is a safe place for you. And I will see you soon as we ascend to the heavens. Also, I have put together the Modern Wisdom annual review template, which is the exact process I use at the end of each year to learn the lessons from the previous one and make plans for the next one. A lot of people want to do an end-of-year review, but don't have a process that they can follow. So I've just recreated mine, which is an amalgamation of a ton of other people's practices and strategies, which I've picked up from over the years. And that will be available very soon. It'll be on the website, chriswillex.com. It'll be there soon. Just keep your eyes peeled on my Instagram and on the pre-roll to the next couple of days podcasts. And you'll find out where you can get your copy. It'll be totally free and it'll hopefully help you round out this year well and begin 2022 very nicely.
