Exercising Without Pain & Learning to Love Cooking with Kurt Ellis

On today's episode of Transformation Talks, I'm joined by Kurt Ellis, a New York-based performance coach and wellness professional who specializes in getting people stronger and improving their overall performance.

But he's also a wiz in the kitchen—which is particularly impressive, given his busy schedule as a trainer, father, and husband. In this interview, he breaks down how you can get good in the kitchen, too—and actually have a little bit of fun doing it.

Here's the full breakdown of our conversation:

• How Kurt and I connected while interviewing for jobs (01:50)
• How Kurt went from Jamaica to the football field to banking to fitness (2:36)
• How Kurt “stumbled” into performance specialization (10:31)
• The biggest training mistakes people make (14:44)
• How to train around pain (23:07)
• How to make performance-friendly nutrition realistic (31:06)
• Everything you NEED to know about meal prep (39:03)
• How to have fun making delicious meals (53:36)
• Kurt’s Quick 6 answers (57:50)
• How Kurt’s son got on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s radar (63:57)
