    Don't Wait - a Solocast

    Send us Fan Mail In this solo episode of Leave Your Mark, I reflect on the deeper meaning of action, possibility, and the danger of waiting too long to live the life we know we are capable of living. Inspired by Mother’s Day weekend and a walk through old photographs and memories, I explore the reality that most meaningful things in life begin long before we ever feel fully ready. Parenthood, relationships, creative pursuits, career shifts, difficult conversations, and personal reinvention all require us to move before certainty arrives. This episode is a reminder that life is not simply about outcomes or achievements. It is about participation. Exploration. Experience. The joy, heartbreak, frustration, growth, and meaning that come from fully engaging with the opportunities life presents to us. Throughout the conversation, I reflect on the importance of presence, the illusion of “better timing,” and why action itself is often the pathway to clarity and purpose. If you’ve been hesitating on something important in your life, this episode is for you. Because eventually, time runs out for all of us. The question is: What will you do today?

    Orchestrating Connection in a Disconnected World with David Homan

    Send us Fan Mail What does it truly mean to build relationships that matter? In this episode, I sit down with David Homan, founder and CEO of Orchestrated Connecting, Orchestrated Opportunities, and SOAR CONNECT. David has spent over a decade developing a powerful methodology around what he calls Orchestrated Connecting—a system designed to create meaningful, trust-based relationships that extend far beyond traditional networking. From his early roots in music and composition to becoming a global “connector of connectors,” David shares how his unique path shaped his perspective on community, trust, and contribution. We explore why most people misunderstand connection, how transactional relationships erode trust, and what it really takes to build something enduring in both life and business. This conversation goes deep into the human side of performance—where generosity, curiosity, and patience become the real drivers of opportunity. We also touch on:  Why trust takes years to build—and how to accelerate it the right way  How to identify one-sided relationships before they cost you  The difference between networking and genuine connection  Why success without contribution ultimately falls short  How small acts of generosity can open unexpected doors If you care about building a meaningful career, a strong network, and a life grounded in purpose, this one will resonate.

    An Unconventional Way to Serve with Darrin Smith

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Darrin Smith, clinical athletic trainer at Colab Concierge Physicians, to explore what it really means to help people move forward with clarity. Darrin’s work sits at the intersection of musculoskeletal care, movement programming, and human connection. His approach is simple in principle but powerful in execution: meet people where they are, bring them into the process, and build plans that reflect their goals, their lifestyle, and what truly matters to them. We unpack his journey from higher education to integrated healthcare, including over two decades as a clinician, professor, and program leader. Along the way, we explore the evolution of his thinking, from traditional models toward a more individualized, needs-based approach to care. This conversation goes deeper than systems and strategies. We talk about burnout and the importance of boundaries in a profession that often demands too much. We discuss mentorship and why developing thinkers is more important than producing technicians. And we explore how personal adversity, including Darrin’s experience with chronic illness, reshaped his perspective on health, teaching, and life. We also delve into the practical side of his current work, including the development of an integrated screening and care model that brings assessment, rehabilitation, and performance together under one roof. This is a conversation about growth, adaptation, and staying curious enough to evolve. Because in the end, better outcomes come from better questions.

    The Sun Will Come Up - a Solocast

    Send us Fan Mail Over the past few years, something has been shifting. Not all at once. Not loudly. But steadily enough that it became impossible to ignore. In this solo episode, I share a more personal reflection on where I’ve been, what I’ve been feeling, and the decision to step into a new chapter of life and work. It’s a conversation about isolation, purpose, and the tension between building something meaningful and feeling connected in the process. I talk about the evolution of our work in education, the changing landscape of how people learn and connect, and the reality of navigating a world that moves faster than ever. But more importantly, I explore what happens when you start asking yourself better questions. Questions about alignment, about community, and about what you actually want your life to feel like. This episode is not about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to move forward without them. It’s about recognizing when it’s time for a change, and having the courage to take that step. And it’s about the opportunity to begin again in a way that feels true to who you are now. If you’ve been reflecting on your direction, your work, or your sense of purpose, this conversation may resonate. This is the next adventure. As always, this episode is brought to you by ReconditioningHQ.com, where we help you own the grey area between rehab and performance.

    Nexus of Change a Solocast with Scott Livingston

    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 environments that helped define who I am today, and being reminded of something easy to lose sight of when you’re deep in the work… Connection matters. Being around people who are striving, learning, and growing matters. And if we’re not careful, even the best intentions can slowly lead us into isolation. I also share the experience of watching Raye live in concert, and how her message of resilience, honesty, and hope landed at exactly the right moment. Sometimes the message finds you when you need it most. This episode is about recognizing when something is off, having the courage to make a change, and trusting that even in uncertain moments, you are being pointed in the right direction. It is also a reminder of something simple, but powerful: Never give up. Everything is going to be alright. If you’ve been feeling like something needs to shift in your life, this conversation may resonate.

    Building Credibility, Creating Opportunity, and Leaving the Game Better with Alan Palmer

    Send us Fan Mail What does it take to carve out a place in professional sport when your profession isn’t yet fully accepted? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alan Palmer, a chiropractor whose career has spanned nearly four decades and whose work has helped shape the role of chiropractic care in professional sports. From a back injury that changed his path…  to working with organizations like the San Francisco Giants and Phoenix Coyotes…  to founding and leading the Professional Baseball Chiropractic Society and Professional Hockey Chiropractic Society… Alan’s story is one of persistence, professionalism, and playing the long game. We talk about: • How one injury led him into chiropractic and sports medicine  • The realities of earning trust inside professional sport environments  • The importance of staying in your lane while contributing at a high level  • Building organizations that outlast your own career  • Balancing family, practice, and ambition over decades  • What it really takes to elevate a profession within elite sport This is a conversation about more than chiropractic. It’s about credibility.  It’s about relationships.  And it’s about doing the kind of work that quietly moves an entire field forward. If you’re a practitioner working in the grey area between rehab and performance… this one will resonate.
