Dr. Kwame Brown (http://drkwamebrown.com) is the founder of Move Theory and is a psychology professor at Hampton University. While attending Georgetown University, Kwame studied neural development and spinal cord injury, where he earned a PhD in Neuroscience.
Kwame's quest to “improve” also led him to a simultaneous career as a personal trainer, instructor of yoga, Pilates, Zumba, and play based movement. However, as his journey expanded, he found a lot more than improvement. He found joy, love, and he found Active Play.
During Ep.#63, Kwame discusses the following with Mike & Sincere:
What led Kwame to effectively combine the worlds of neuroscience and active play What is exactly is "active play" & why is it an important aspect of child, as well as adult development Why being an amateur may be even more important than striving to be a professional Why the term "obesity crisis" is absurd Why those that profess that the main thing that kids should focus on for character development and to move more, is to participate in sports may have it all wrong What happened during the podcast that shows why Kwame definitely has his priorities in order How does Sincere incorporate active play during kettlebell training with his clients What Mike Tyson can teach us about letting children find their own identity What we can learn from Roger Federer's key to his success & how to apply this concept to child development via activity Why competition is an agreement What is the importance of self discovery & why it shouldn't end when we're young Why, due to cultural differences, Mike & Sincere view the term "Slapping bones" quite differently Why a lot of the corporate world's functionality is very reflective of many aspects of organized sports What is "phallic mathematics" & why is it very detrimental to social progress Why it may be a good thing to take a break between the time someone graduates high school & starting college Why total dominance is "not" winning
