Description
The Leave Your Mark Podcast is where high performance meets human stories. Each week, we go beyond résumés and highlight reels to explore how extraordinary people—high achievers who are also genuinely good humans—have been shaped by their environments, experiences, and the people around them.
More importantly, we uncover how they are leaving their mark on the world.
Step inside the minds and lives of remarkable individuals from sport, business, arts, and beyond—and walk away inspired to leave your own mark.

Send us Fan Mail This week’s solocast is a personal one. A reflection on a stretch of time where everything seemed to converge at once. A return to places and people that shaped my early career. A realization that something in my current life needed to change. A family decision to step into a new chapter. And a moment that brought it all together in a way I didn’t expect. Over the course of a single weekend, I found myself reconnecting with old colleagues and mentors, revisiting the environme...

Send us Fan Mail Nine years ago this April 3rd, I pressed record on my first podcast episode. At the time, I had no idea it would become one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Sometime this year, I’ll cross the milestone of 500 conversations with people from all walks of life: athletes, coaches, leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers. What I’ve discovered through those conversations surprised me. Most people didn’t have a perfect plan. Most didn’t know exactly where life would take ...

Send us Fan Mail Low back pain is rarely just about the back.

Downregulation isn’t optional — it’s foundational. 2️⃣ Build Spinal Capability and Capacity The lumbar...

Send us Fan Mail This week, I want to explore a simple idea that sits underneath almost everything we do in movement, rehab, performance, and learning: The body can’t access what it doesn’t know. The nervous system won’t use what it doesn’t recognize as available, safe, or trustworthy. And when pain, injury, fear, or perceived threat enters the picture, entire movement strategies can quietly disappear—not because the body is broken, but because the brain no longer sees those options as viable...
