Dragons and bears, oh my! No, we're not talking Wizard of Oz. Today, we are talking about a topic Sue and Alex heard while at an event recently that Bedros Keuilian spoke on. Dragons are internal—your inner critic and the lies you tell yourself. Bears are external—obstacles you have to fight through.

Listen in as Sue and Alex talk about how they slay the dragons and fight off the bears in their lives and how you can too—especially as we enter a new year.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.

Today, we have a very special guest with us—Miguel Rivera! Miguel creates all the magic you see as a videography mastermind and our Creative Director.

We often say Miguel has lived many lives. Previously, he was a musician which translated over to videography fairly well but he made quite a few job leaps along the way. He first started college to pursue a degree in audio engineering and music theory, but eventually made a switch to architecture. After working at a few office jobs, a pickle factory, and many other jobs—plus touring with his band—he found his way to us.

Listen in to find out just how he made his way to Physique Development!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.
