This is a continuation of a raw and honest conversation with Jared Aguilar, Tyler Adams, and Trace McClintock. In this episode, our hosts share many insecurities and emotions they feel as they approach graduation from physical therapy school. 

A loaded question from Tyler leads to a very complex discussion about the best moves to make as a new grad PT and how to best create your path to your own success. Our hosts bring the vulnerability in this episode and discuss two main schools of thought surrounding the growth of new grad physical therapists.

Congratulations to all those who passed the NPTE and graduated PT school. Good luck finding your path, friends! You got this shit! 

Thanks for listening!

Hacking Your Home & Studying Real Estate

Here's a quick gem about functional reserve and building capacity in older adults from a classic episode with The Strength Jedi, Dr. Scotty Butcher! 
"If your 1RM squat is your bodyweight you’re in trouble as time goes on. If you’re not trying to build that at some point you won’t be able to get out of a chair, the higher your overall strength and fitness levels the greater you can deal with those age-related declines."

Briskets & Barbells with Dr. Derek Miles, Dr. Josh Walters, & Dr. Jeremy Kirschner | Part 1

Jared & Tyler have a tough conversation about the shooting of Jacob Blake, Breonna Taylor, and the events in Kenosha, WI. The two discuss systemic oppression and how "well-meaning" people can be complicit in perpetuating oppressive thought viruses. Other topics discussed include the challenges of being an ally, rioting, understanding human rights violations, defunding the police, Grand Theft Auto, and The Boondocks. 
SYMPATHY = acknowledging that the other person is going through an emotional or physical struggle, supporting them and giving them comfort.
EMPATHY = something more than just this. It’s actually understanding what the other person is feeling because you’ve had a similar experience yourself or you’re able to put yourself in their shoes.
