Dr. Vitz talks with Jon and Kristi about their experiences at home, at work, and with their friends, family, and each other where ongoing EMSO work is opening the doors for better leadership, empathy, and example.

Our guest this week, Tim Shields, opens himself to big experiences. He begins his EMSO work by moving to California to be in our presence, begin his physical training (PPT), and work with Dr. Vitz directly. In this episode he explores the decision and what it means for his life at this stage.

Dr. Vitz discusses staying on the path, following your excitement, and bettering ourselves by being in service to others. Kristi talks about physical ailments being the embodiment of thoughts, feelings and emotions. She reveals how her EMSO journey began with a back injury, how vulnerability leads to strength, and how strength determines her outlook for the future.

Whatever you suffer is exacerbated by the feeling that it's your burden and yours alone. In this episode we discuss the importance of understanding that conditions are temporary, and that pushing past fear to overcome obstacles requires practice.

Strength coach Ted O'Neill joins us to discuss how emotional sobriety influences performance in every training session and in the career-defining moments of an athlete's career.
