Welcome to Inspire Saratoga!

In this two part Legacy Lesson episode, I spoke about the powerful episode with Jeff Grogan, AKA Saratoga Youth Mentor, and the practices he uses to help the young generation in overcoming their struggles and challenges.

It brought me to two specific stories I learned from in my own coaching experience.

From one of the first episodes of this show came one of the most profound statements I’ve heard on strength and mindset.

Karen Carey’s quote of “You’ve had the power all along” sparked a conversation I had with a friend that led me to much of the creation of the Unveiling Strength Project.

In this Legacy Lesson episode, I remembered a story that Meghan Connolly Haupt told me about her personal experience with her disabled child, which inspired her to create her business Inclusive Saratoga.

It brought up a memory of my own life, and my family’s experience with me going through Leukemia at 3 years old.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and felt like something clicked; not because it was new, but because it reminded you of something true you’d forgotten?

For me, I’m fortunate to have this on a regular basis from hosting the podcasts.

This episode, I had a legacy lesson on gratitude in the Simplest Things w/ Katy Margison, from Season 2 episode 1.

And I wanted to take a few minutes here to share this “Legacy Lesson” that stuck with me; and how it might land with you today.”

I’ve learned a lot and gotten so much out of connecting with Pat over the years, so it was a real blessing and privilege to have him come on the podcast.

Pat’s knowledge and wisdom on connecting the rehabilitation side of health and the performance side of strength and prevention is one of the best I’ve ever met, and in this episode, we dive into what corrective exercise is best used for, mobility and strength protocols, and the keys to longevity and maintaining a healthy physical life.

Those from Saratoga know the word SPAC as well as any other.

SPAC, aka Saratoga Performing Arts Center is a staple organization and part of the community, and in this episode, I had the honor of sitting with Elizabeth Sobol, CEO of SPAC.

Elizabeth has lived an incredible life in the arts, from her early days as an aspiring classical pianist, to learning from some of the greatest in the entertainment management industry in New York City, to eventually coming to Saratoga to head up this amazing organization.

Truly a beautiful conversation with such an inspiring person.
