In this episode, Beau Beard sits down with Eric Goodman, creator of Foundation Training, to explore the origin story behind one of the most influential movement systems in rehab and performance.

Eric shares how a serious back injury, years of experimentation, and a deep dive into anatomy led him to develop Foundation Training. The conversation covers decompression breathing, pelvic anchoring, posterior chain recruitment, and why so many movement systems overlap while still serving different goals.

They also discuss the tension between innovation and imitation in the movement world, how to think critically about exercise trends, and why no single method can solve every problem. Eric explains why he sees Foundation Training as an accessory to better movement, not a cure-all, and how he continues to expand the method through education, research, and new tools like wearable footwear.

If you’re interested in back pain, breath mechanics, movement education, or the future of rehab and performance, this conversation is packed with insights.

In this episode, Beau sits down with Brett to unpack why the best coaches, clinicians, and leaders don’t just rely on knowledge—they learn how to connect, influence, and build real buy-in. Brett shares the life experience that shaped his approach to strength and conditioning, communication, and behavior change, including the role of identity, self-interest, and trust in helping people actually change.

They dig into why logic alone rarely changes behavior, why role-playing and social scrimmaging matter more than most professionals think, and how practitioners can improve adherence by understanding what people are protecting. Brett also explains how these ideas connect to his new book, leadership, and the broader challenge of working with complex human beings.

If you work in healthcare, coaching, or leadership—or you simply want to communicate better—this conversation will give you practical ways to think about influence, conflict, and human behavior in a much deeper way.

Clayton Skaggs, a pioneer in functional rehabilitation, shares his journey from traditional muscle-based models to understanding the intricate neuroimmune systems that govern healing. You’ll discover how a small shift—reducing complexity, focusing on what truly matters—can unlock rapid, lasting results. Skaggs highlights stories of muscle gains without dieting, muscle imbalances fixed by simple exercises, and the power of holding loosely to control—lessening resistance and amplifying recovery.

In this episode, we break down:

• The timeless influence of Czech clinician Yonda and Levitt—how their work set the stage for modern neuro-rehabilitation- The role of sensory awareness and how building skill in one sense can enhance life’s richness and clinical outcomes.
• Why minimal, focused interventions outperform complex protocols, and how to apply this in practice- The importance of understanding the body's signals, stress responses, and how to foster resilience.

Unlock the secrets behind nerve biomechanics and discover how cutting-edge research is revolutionizing neurodynamics in rehab. If you've ever wondered why some patients respond differently to treatment or how to better assess nerve health, this episode is your ultimate guide.

Join Michael Shacklock, a pioneer in neurodynamics, as he delves into the latest breakthroughs, revealing how nerves respond to load, compression, and movement—showing that nerves aren’t just static structures but adaptable tissues with cellular properties that change over time. Learn how validation of neurodynamic tests can improve diagnostic accuracy and influence treatment strategies, especially for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and radiculopathies. You'll discover:

• How nerve movement isn't just about strain but involves compression, stiffness, and the energy dynamics within nerves.
• The latest research on nerve adaptation, neurogenic inflammation, and how nerves respond to injury, metabolic factors, and systemic health issues.
• Practical insights into how to incorporate neurodynamic principles into everyday clinical practice—using simple yet effective techniques like openers and dual-system approaches.
• How joint restriction, connective tissue changes, and movement sequencing impact nerve health and treatment outcomes.
• Understanding the difference between cooperative and competitive models of anatomy can prevent common pitfalls in rehab.

This episode emphasizes that advancing your practice means blending science with creativity, applying mechanisms systematically, and staying curious.
