What does it mean to build an unbreakable body — and perform at a high level for life, not just for a season?
In this episode of Spartan Leadership, host Josh Kosnick sits down with world-renowned strength coach, physical therapist, and injury-prevention expert Dr. John Rusin.
Dr. Rusin has worked with MLB All-Stars, NFL All-Pros, Olympic gold medalists, and world-record-holding powerlifters. Named one of Men’s Health’s “Top 50 Health & Fitness Experts,” he’s the founder of the Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification (PPSC) — the fastest-growing fitness education system in the world, certifying over 20,000 professionals.
Together, Josh and John explore what it takes to achieve physical autonomy, why most people train too hard and too dumb, and how curiosity, humility, and discipline define not only great athletes but great leaders.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
