The terms “physical activity” and “exercise” are often used interchangeably although their meanings differ. Dr. Emily Mailey, associate professor of Kinesiology at K-State, is here to help us redefine the role of physical activity and incorporate it into our daily lives.  

On this episode we speak with Dr. Mike Finnegan, Assistant Professor in the Staley School of Leadership Studies.  Throughout the episode we share many stories demonstrating the importance of relationship building and how important it is to feel a sense of belonging to a community.  We explore well-being, authenticity, strength's philosophy, leadership development and discuss how these topics can help someone achieve their maximum potential and thrive in their environment.
