A few weeks ago, I got the opportunity to listen to Ross McKnight answer questions from a group of college students who attend Oklahoma State University on the scholarship he created, of which I was one of them. His story got me thinking a lot about personal agency, which is kind of the supreme form of confidence. Although personal agency is hard to develop, I hope this episode helps you understand it so that if you don’t have it, you can work towards it.

One of the ways fitness improves your life is by making you better at your job. This week's guest experiences this phenomenon first hand. Jared Collins is a high school agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at Yamhill-Carlton High School in Yamhill, Oregon. A few months ago, Mr. Collins realized he and his colleagues learned a lot about mental health, but never physical health, so he decided to do something about it.
