SH//FT Perspective

In Ep. 32 Brian and Rob talk about tuning in and knowing when to taking breaks (even if it is at Dave and Buster’s). We reflect on the Daisy Fresh documentary series and the punk rock of jiu jitsu, Pedigo submission fighting.

To finish things up we somehow find our way to taking agency over one’s own destiny and parental support through the path of life.

Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective. 

Woo! What a chat challenge this one is.  Everything from changes in the media landscape to ultramarathons and the up and downside of discipline. Waxing poetic on tuning into cycles of nature and how that connects to biometric data.  We close it all out with the shortcomings of human time keeping and industrial vs. natural living. Enjoy the show!  We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

This Episode of SH//FT Perspective has none other than SH//FT’s own Emily Hightower. Founder of Intrinsic Way and Creator of the Skill of Stress online course, Emily

The three of us recap our amazing experience in Texas the prior week and discuss the lessons we learned and how the whole experience impacted the attendees as well our plans for the future.

Coming at you live! We recorded episode 29 in San Antonio, TX on the eve of our maiden N=1 Exposure experience. Brian and I actually get to record a conversation live in the same room which made for fun dynamics!

We cover some of the unique ideas we’ll be exploring in the new event and how the N=1 is the culmination of so much of the work we do.

In Episode 28 we cover the dual posts Brian and I put on Instagram regarding proper breath mechanics. We go pretty deep into our stance around the myth of teaching “diaphragmatic breathing” as well as the importance of language around cuing movement behavior.

In this discussion, we get pretty nerdy talking about the homunculus in the brain, the reality of ventilation in the human body, and the evolution of our own understanding as it relates to how to best communicate these important points altogether!

Episode 27 starts with some chit-chat on traditional archery and our friend and previous guest Jeff Hairston. We mull over one of our favorite authors E.O. Wilson and some of his work too.

Later in the show, we discuss the cultural consequences of technology and the double-edged blade of everybody having a microphone.

In episode 26 of SH//FT Perspective, we go deep into training philosophy. BMack and I talk about the mistake of specialization in training and how bouncing back and forth between extremes can result in more long-term problems.

We do wander off a bit into our current reading lists and the place of fiction vs. non-fiction as well as how Brian prefers the “get to the point” Clif Notes version of things. Somehow that loops around to J. Krishnamurthi and the need for human connection.

Enjoy the show! We sincerely hope you hear something that shifts your perspective.

In episode 25 Brian and I chat on how bad I am at sending calendar invites and talk about how you can’t think your way out of physiology no matter how smart you are. We also get into the value of having a practice mindset and how this can help us develop an intimate relationship with our own bodies.

In this episode of SH//FT Perspective we talk to our old friend Jeff Hairston. Jeff is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the legendary Mendes brothers, as well as bowhunter, surfer, and strength coach.

Jeff is a consummate teacher and in this episode we dive deep talking about his journey through his various practices, family challenges, and how it all comes together to inform his impressive mindset.

Tune in and SH//FT your perspective.

Surprise! In this episode we actually talk about breath stuff.  Specifically, Brian and I go deep on the breath factors that drive HRV and what some recent studies show on the subject.

Put on your nerd glasses and strap in for an episode all about HRV science.

(Don’t worry, we still talk a bit of smack as usual.)
