This week, I’m excited to share a conversation I’ve been looking forward to for a while. I’m speaking with Grayson Hart—former pro rugby player, founder of Pure Sport, and now the creator of Hart Workshop. His latest venture represents his journey toward living a more connected, intentional life.

I’ve followed Grayson’s story on Instagram and was drawn to how he navigates life, sport, and creativity. From expressing himself through rugby, despite the limitations of professional systems, to launching Pure Sport as a step toward reconnection, and now Hart Workshop—a footwear brand that bridges the body and the earth. Grayson is out there, living his truth and bringing it into the world.

It was a bonus to discover that Garret Kramer, another past guest of the podcast, is involved with Hart Workshop—a beautiful thread tying these conversations together.

Joseph Campbell’s words came to mind when preparing for this episode:
 "If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take."
Grayson is embodying this ethos, carving his own way, step by step.

Enjoy the conversation. Be sure to follow Grayson, check out Hart Workshop, and revisit our episode with Garret for more insight into the principles they’re sharing.

From Chris and me—peace.

Welcome to the weMove podcast.

Over the years, we’ve recorded countless conversations, and the space we began in has evolved—just as it should. New generations are stepping in, ideas that were once emerging have grown in fascinating ways (some for the better, some not so much), and perspectives continue to shift.

One thing I’ve noticed is how both people and their ideas evolve over time. It’s not just about getting older—it’s about experiences shaping us, broadening our outlooks, and refining our approaches. Many of our guests have shown us this: time doesn’t weaken us; it strengthens us, makes us more resilient, adaptable, and generous. It softens rigidity and opens the door to acceptance and understanding.

In our early days, we hosted a series called “Movement and the Search for Meaning.” It explored why people move—what they’re moving towards and what they’re moving away from. Our next guest, Rae Dwyer, was part of that series. Chris even made a short film about her journey, which was deeply rooted in yoga and other somatic practices. At that time, we were all navigating our own questions, trying to make sense of life and the paths we were on.

Since then, Chris and I have explored countless practices, read books, and had transformative conversations that have reshaped our thinking. We’re the same, but also different—more accepting of ourselves and the journey so far. During this time, I followed Rae’s journey through her posts and reflections. I saw how her thoughts evolved, becoming more open, supportive, and challenging in the best way.

It felt right to invite Rae back for this conversation—a catch-up to explore how we’ve all evolved, what’s changed, and what’s stayed the same. This episode is a classic weMove moment: open, exploratory, and filled with insights that arise through movement and reflection.

Thank you, Rae—I’m looking forward to catching up again in person.

From Chris and me, Peace.

Hey there, and welcome to the weMove podcast!

This week’s episode is one for the tennis fans—and for anyone inspired to bring people together and build a thriving community. I’m in conversation with Prince Boucher, the founder of Mission Athletic Club in San Francisco. To me, this is a masterclass in creating a social sporting community that’s organized, respectful, and uniquely individual.

Whether you’re passionate about tennis or dreaming of starting something in the racquet sports space, this episode is a must-listen. Prince and Mission Athletic Club have built something truly special, rooted in the fundamentals—like access to great free court infrastructure—but elevated by the way the community has been empowered to grow and shape the club.

We dive into all things tennis, San Francisco, and the city’s changing dynamics, including the jaw-dropping reality of what $100,000 means for the poverty line. From there, we explore the innovative way the club is run, the tech platform that keeps it all connected, and the incredible scale of this community, with games happening every day across the city.

For our UK listeners, think ParkRun—except for tennis. It’s that level of organization, but with a fresh, vibrant twist that only tennis can bring.

I absolutely loved this conversation with Prince—thank you for your time and for sharing your journey with Mission. Wishing you continued success!

As always, from Chris and me—peace ✌️.

Welcome to the weMove podcast.

In this episode, we return to the world of the nervous system, this time through the lens of breathwork. Our guest is Jamie Clements, founder of The Breath Space and host of the Human Nature Podcast. We dive into Jamie’s backstory and how it shaped the work he does today.

Breathwork has been a core focus for weMove since the early days, through conversations with pioneers like Patrick McKeown, Brian Mackenzie, Wim Hof, Dan Brulé, and others. While it’s often presented as a cure-all for traumas, ailments, and more, it’s also a tool that requires respect. Breathwork has immense potential to both enhance well-being and, if misused, unlock unintended consequences.
Jamie’s perspective on this stood out to me. He brings a balanced, thoughtful approach, recognizing breathwork’s power while advocating for its responsible use. As part of a younger generation exploring and guiding these practices, Jamie’s work offers valuable insights for anyone curious about this space.
Jamie also collaborates with James Dowler (featured in a recent episode), so if you’re interested in going deeper into breathwork or nervous system work, there’s a connection worth exploring.

Big thanks to Jamie for sharing his time and insights.
From Chris and me, Peace.

Welcome to the weMove podcast.

In this episode, we return to exploring the fascinating world of the nervous system. Chris and I first encountered nervous system work in 2016. While it's always been present, it remains on the fringe of movement and personal development—particularly in the context of how an overwhelmed nervous system impacts our ability to function optimally.

When our nervous system is maxed out with unprocessed experiences, it becomes challenging to tap into our full potential. Fatigue, unexplained pains, and a general sense of "off-ness" are signals that we can’t just ignore or suppress. These feelings demand attention, not avoidance.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of speaking with some brilliant minds in this space, people who are helping others reorganize, recalibrate, and restore their nervous systems. What intrigues me most is how different generations approach this work. While Chris and I have our go-to guides, those older or younger may resonate with entirely different perspectives.

Today, I’m joined by James Dowler, who I see as part of a new wave in nervous system exploration. Drawing from his own transformative experiences, James combines insights from Jungian psychology, somatic practices, and his own research to create a framework for nervous system recalibration and restoration.
As with all things, finding the right teacher, coach, or guide—someone you connect with—is essential to truly benefit from the process. If this topic resonates with you, James might be a great starting point. I also encourage you to explore our other episodes, as each guest brings a unique perspective that could be the perfect fit for you.

Big thanks to James for sharing his time and insights.
From Chris and me, Peace.

Welcome to the weMove podcast.

This episode came together unexpectedly and in the best way possible. Our guest, Tom, is an illustrator by day who decided to embark on a 3-month road trip around Europe, playing tennis with random players. His journey is entirely unscripted—no fixed itinerary, just word of mouth and a website: thevan.am.

Road trips hold a special place in the weMove story. They’re how this podcast came to life, rooted in our belief that conversation and connection are powerful enablers. They introduce us to new people, new ideas, and experiences that shape us in profound ways.

As with most road trips, there’s often a deeper reason behind the journey. While I suspected Tom had his own underlying motivation, I didn’t anticipate how deeply his story would resonate with me. His reflections on the nervous system, his need for a personal reset, and the serendipity of shared connections struck a chord. Add tennis into the mix, and it all just seemed to click.

Tom is currently on the road, and you can follow his matches and adventures at thevan.am. This conversation ties beautifully into some of our previous episodes exploring the nervous system, as well as a couple of upcoming ones.

Big thanks to Tom for sharing his time and story. We encourage you to check out his journey, pick up a racquet, a bat, or just move. Movement doesn’t need to be fast, far, or complicated—everything is connected, and every step takes you closer to where you need to be.
From Chris and me, Peace.

This week, I’m talking to Reka and Dorina, the founders of Budapest Racquet Society—or BRS—in, you guessed it, Budapest.

We’re in the early days of this new tennis club movement, but something exciting is definitely happening at the intersection of social community and sports. Running and training have paved the way, and now tennis is stepping into the spotlight—and it’s emerging fast.

For a certain generation, the concept of social community is second nature. People are craving connection and movement, whether it’s reconnecting with something they loved as kids or finally trying something they’ve always wanted to but found intimidating. Tennis has traditionally carried that air of exclusivity, but these new clubs are flipping the script. They’re all about connection, community, and a genuine passion for the sport. BRS is a perfect example, making serious waves in Budapest’s tennis scene.

In this episode, we dive into Reka and Dorina’s tennis backgrounds, the tennis culture in Hungary, and why Budapest seems especially welcoming to this new style of club. What I love about BRS and others like it is their focus on individuality and inclusivity. On court, with a racquet in hand, you’re simply a tennis player—no clichés required. 

At its core, the draw of these clubs goes beyond the sport. It’s about fun—the joy of being on court, moving, learning, and improving alongside others. Honestly, life doesn’t get much better than that.

A huge thanks to Dorina and Reka for sharing their time and for what they’re doing for tennis in Budapest. I’m a big fan of the sport and all these new clubs popping up around the world.

As always, share this pod with like-minded people or anyone who’s thought about getting into tennis or racquet sports but didn’t know where to start. Chances are, there’s a club like BRS in a city near you—find them, get on court, and get involved.
From Chris and me, peace.
