Winning a major poker tournament isn’t a fast track onto the Thinking Poker Podcast, but when Matt Savage says, “You have to talk to this guy!”, we oblige. And so glad we did!

Zak VanKeuren, who won the WPT Prime Championship in December for over $1 million, is a great poker player, but he isn’t just a great poker player. He’s also a holistic wellness enthusiast and performance coach.

We talk to him about what exactly that means, how it helped him perform on one of poker’s largest stages, and what he hopes to teach others about experiencing the richness of life.

You can learn more about Zak and his coaching on Instagram and Twitter.
