Today is a very extra special episode, I had the honor of interviewing Bradley Carnell, the head coach of STL City Soccer.  In August 2019, the city of St. Louis, MO received a grant for an expansion club. The first season kicked off in 2023 and in its first year the team broke records,  St. Louis City SC became the most successful MLS Expansion team in their first eight games with 18 points. They also broke the record for most wins by an MLS expansion club and on October 1, 2023, they won the Western Conference in their first year as a franchise and would also qualify for the 2024 CONCACAF (kaang·kuh·kaf) Champions Cup. The club is also the first majority female-owned club in MLS history! If you are not from St. Louis you need to know that this soccer team has created so much momentum in the city and I thought it would be an incredible opportunity to sit down with Bradley to hear his insight on what it takes to lead a transformation as big as this and how he manages his leadership role, tips, and trick for other leaders around the globe to do the same. It was such a treat to get to hear from the man himself and you’ll hear the humbleness and confidence radiating during the conversation!

...and much, much more!

People often ask me what I am training for or why I like to run. My funny answer is just “life” - I find that working out is like a lab to test and train up your grit. It used to be boxing more so but now I have added running to my list of workouts.

The five reasons I run and how they support my flowy lifestyle:

1. Anxiety

2. GRIT

3. Release of creativity and nitric oxide

4. Learning and offsetting the challenge/skill balance needed for flow

5. Visualization

6. How to start creating your own flow-infused exercise routine
