In this episode we speak with Brad Stulberg performance coach and author of the book, 'The Practice of Groundedness -A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds Not Crushes Your Soul'.

In this interview Brad explains the modern day problem of "heroic individualism" and the six practices of groundedness:

Acceptance
Being Present
Patience
Vulnerability
Deep Community
Movement

We especially enjoyed Brad’s take on seeing your running as a physical 'practice'.  Remember, the path is the goal and the goal is the path!
