Jesse, David and Swami are back in the second part of the Carr’s Clinic podcast, nerding out on the ESPN’s Last Dance documentary, featuring Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

An exercise science graduate, sport and functional fitness tragic, Jesse classes himself a lifelong student of teaching, learning, health and human performance.
