This another one that I really recommend listening to the podcast episode as there was too much great stuff to capture in blog form.  Click below to listen on your favorite podcast app.  Below is an outline of what we cover.

A Virtual Wellness CommunityI wrote the outline for this show on a plane flying from Hong Kong to Seattle. My family is traveling back to the US for summer holiday. Since we were returning back to Kansas to our family, friends, and old training buddies, I knew I wanted to do another show on wellness community. But I knew this would be different than the one I did with Bo and Sheel about the SIRs and Dragons fitness communities. If you haven’t listened to that show yet it is Episode 15 of the BOOST Health Podcast and I highly recommend it. It is really a good one thanks mostly to the brilliant thoughts of Bo and Sheel as we break down how properly organized fitness communities can add tremendous performance, mentorship, accountability, and elicit kindness in the purest form. This show on community is different because I am not able to train with my Kansas buddies anymore, save a few weeks in the summer, since we moved to Hong Kong. I have kept in contact with this group of guys, and I still draw a lot of energy from them. This energy is a bit intangible and that is one of the things I want to tackle today. As you all know, people you train with over a period of time start to become more like close friends, and even family in some cases. These guys are definitely family. We all lived within a few blocks of each other so we were neighbors. We helped each other with flooding basements, moving heavy stuff, offered advice, cheered each other on, etc. We basically had each other’s back. We would train together as best as we could if schedules allowed and it made sense with objectives. So what if you are part of a wellness community that isn’t so well organized? What if your community doesn’t have weekly rides, gym workouts,
