Check this out! Our very own Yann Martel, a BRIO member since 2011 and author of the literary classic Life of Pi, was recently featured on the CrossFit podcast hosted by Jocelyn for a discussion with the one and only Dave Castro.
The two discuss his writing process, the symbolism behind “Life of Pi," and how fiction and fitness both shape how we understand ourselves and the world. Surprise guest Dave Castro crashes the conversation midway through to meet the author and share why “Life of Pi” is one of his favorite books of all time.
