Description

This show is for anyone who believes our potential has no preset. Rather, we are the authors of our own Epic Hero's Story. I'll share what I've learned over the last four decades about human performance and potential in short easily consumed episodes. As an exercise physiologist I have developed a deep understanding of the scientific theories of human performance. But time and again I have witnessed ordinary people do extraordinary things which are not easily explained by 'science'. This show is about the keys that unlock those performances.
