Ready for another AdultFluent first? Today’s guest, Tanner Simpson, is the first world champion ever to appear on the podcast! Tanner, a martial artist since the age of 4, combines the arts with gymnastics, break dancing, and capoeira to create routines that are simply amazing! Raised by parents who helped him find his passion and who never let him quit, Tanner won a world championship by the time he was only 16-years-old.

Now, after also having coached four world champions himself, he’s honed in on what he believes are the conditions that enable people to develop discipline and reach elite status, insights that he shared during our 20-minute conversation! One thing is clear: With his incredible discipline and desire to help others reach the highest levels of achievement, Tanner is well on his way to unlimited success!
