Calling our shots for that cheesy saying of a 5-year plan. Vision led and passion driven. Part of the reason I do this podcast is to share my journey, impart any wisdom I've gained along the way, and be help accountable to living my best life. So hold me accountable and let's see what these next 5 years have in store. Shout out of appreciation to some great friends and partners in crime, Carter Bushway and Kris Bosela.

There is nothing more rejuvenating than to truly have, and work for, mastery of yourself. I must give credit where credit is due. This episode's content and inspiration is largely from a Tedx talk. Given by Shoalin Master Shi Heng Yi - '5 Hinderances to Self-Mastery'. Highly recommend viewing it yourself.

How was the spine designed to move? Especially in relation to the rest of the body. We have many theories and heated opinions on the topic. Ultimately we want to provide variability of movement options and resiliency to move in and out of those options. While respecting our biomechanics for progressive optimal loading in each movement shape.

The way we view the world effects so much. Our perspective is defined by what we are most biased to perceive. Its implications are far reaching.

EMOM (every minute on the minute) is a sweet workout programming tool that has major benefits for a variety of exercise schemes. Let's expand on this concept and see how we can move better and more throughout the day.

I recently ate at Cava for the first time. It did not disappoint. Reminded me of the origin of the Medaterranian diet and the lifestyle that accompanied it. Progress forward in time does not always truly mean progress.

We take a look at a case study involving the shoulder today. Looking at applied anatomy and functional movement positions. We've all got love for the underdog. Gotta help out those who are there for the underdog every step of the way.

Khabib 'The Eagle' Nurmagomedev recently defeated Justin Gaethje via submission in UFC 254. This improved his undefeated record to 29-0. A record that will remain that way as he accounces his retirement from the UFC and competitive fighting.

Wim Hof is a legend to many, especially to those familiar with the frozen tundra. I love his analogies where he calls his practice extremely dangerous, unlike the safety of American Football. He is a teacher in controlling our breath, to control of physiology, regardless of the surrounding environmental obstacles we may face.

Don't take me for my word. Strange to say, and so true, when this podcast is a medium of words. The same advice was originally given by the budda. Which I guess means we shouldn't worry about that either...
