The Cornerstone Performance Podcast

I sit down with Justin Jones who by trade is a seasoned strength and conditioning coach. He is a father and a husband, but his true calling is being a follower of Christ. Justin can talk your ear off for hours on how to better yourself in the gym or on your runs but also doesn't hesitate to ask about your spiritual or mental health. Just has been one of my mentors and close friend for many years. He loves God, his neighbor and anyone else who crosses his path. Find out why this is, as we get a better understanding of Justin's Cornerstone.    Top Tier Human Performance Website: https://toptierhp.com
