Practicing yoga before it was cool, Kent Katich shares with us how his curious mindset led him to discover this practice. With his background in sports, Kent appreciated how yoga was able to train his mind in taking on more than he thought humanly possible. Excited about what he’d been learning, Kent shared his passion with his peers who were athletes as well.  From that day on, Kent’s career became focused on training professional athletes through yoga. 

After his career began to take form, Kent started training notable individuals like Reggie Miller, Blake Griffin, Jermaine Jones, Kevin Love, Giancarlo Stanton, Eddie George, and more. 

It’s easy to see why so many appreciate not only Kent’s dedication to his craft, but his commitment to positivity. Believing that you need to make the most of each day you have, Kent talks about how having a positive attitude is a choice, and he’s going to choose to stay positive!

Bappa Choudhury joins this week’s episode of The Silver Lining Phoenix to discuss what it means to breath, balance, and believe. While currently battling Parkensons, Bappa Choudhury shares the importance of persevering in the midst of hardship. Bappa will discuss how all of the people he met along the way, including Muhammed Ali, helped him form this positive outlook on life circumstances that are out of your control.

Breathing, balancing and believing have become the pillars by which he has built his life upon. At times, life can move fast and hit you with unexpected circumstances. To Bappa, breathing gives us the opportunity to slow everything down and taking a moment relax so you can think and respond calmly. Balance allows us to maximize everything we do in all areas of life (and it also helps you avoid falling). Lastly, Bappa states that believing means that you can rest in faith that there  is a purpose behind everything that happens to you.  Bappa’s life is one of constant change and adaptation, and in today’s episode he shares how he thrives in the midst of it all.

We hope you enjoy hearing Bappa’s story on breathing, balancing, and believing. For more information on how to follow Bappa, be sure to check out the links below!

On this week's episode of The Silver Lining Phoenix, our Kiwi friend, Stephen Jenkins, joins us to talk about his unconventional marathon journey. Although Stephen has autism, he decided that instead of letting his circumstance own him, Stephen would own his circumstance by finding a team of individuals who would support him and his mission. So, he found running guides who ran with him from the initial training days to the final race day. Today, we’ll hear from two of those guides, Amanda Mueller and Katy Whitford, and let them explain why they joined in this adventure in running around the world with both Stephen and Team Achilles.

We hope you enjoy hearing Stephen, Amanda and Katy’s story and why they support Team Achilles’ mission to transform the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection.
