    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.

    Building businesses, Teams, and Environments that empower with Brian Anderson

    Send us Fan Mail EP 469 of Leave Your Mark features a conversation with Brian Anderson, a leader who has spent his career building and guiding companies across industries many of us live and work in every day… wellness, fitness, sport, outdoor, and travel. Brian’s journey has taken him through both founder-led businesses and private equity environments, wearing many hats along the way: CEO, chairman, advisor, and coach. But beyond the titles, what stands out is his ability to bring people together, build strong cultures, and help teams move toward something meaningful. In this episode, Brian shares the evolution of his career… from early ambitions and corporate beginnings to a life in entrepreneurship and leadership. He speaks candidly about decision-making, the balance between logic and instinct, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. He also reflects on the realities of building businesses in passionate industries, where optimism can be both a strength and a blind spot. We also explore how fatherhood shaped his perspective, how risk tolerance evolves, and why he ultimately values quality of life over pure career success. At his core, Brian is a builder… of businesses, teams, and environments where people can do their best work. And just as importantly, he’s a proud father of three daughters, something that grounds everything he does. This is a thoughtful conversation on leadership, growth, and what really matters over the long haul.

    A Man Who Left His Mark on Many with Coach Johnny Parker

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Coach Johnny Parker, a true pioneer in the world of strength and conditioning whose career has shaped generations of athletes and coaches alike. From his beginnings as a high school football coach in rural Mississippi to becoming the first strength coach in the Big Ten, and eventually spending two decades in the NFL with organizations like the New York Giants, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and San Francisco 49ers, Johnny’s journey reflects the evolution of an entire profession. But what stands out most is not the titles or the championships. It is the standard. Johnny shares the defining moments that shaped his philosophy, including an early coaching failure that forced him to confront the responsibility that comes with leading others. From that point forward, he committed himself to mastery, not just of training, but of people. We explore his model of leadership, built on progression from fear, to respect, to belief, and ultimately to self-driven excellence. He reflects on lessons learned from iconic figures like Bill Parcells and Bob Knight, and offers a grounded perspective on what truly separates good coaches from great ones. This conversation is a powerful reminder that coaching is not about control; it is about connection, accountability, and helping people become more than they believed possible. If you work with people in any capacity, this one will stay with you. On a personal note, this was one of the great honors of my life in human performance. Johnny influenced me when I was a young S&C coach, and he didn't even know it.  I never knew the man; I just knew the legend, and to finally speak with him was a great privilege. Johnny is in the battle of his life, and if this session or his personal impact on you has meant anything, letting him know would surely mean a lot to this incredible man.   Scotty If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.  You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/ Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success: www.ReconditioningHQ.com www.FreePainGuide.com

    Lessons Learned in Nearly 500 Conversations a Solocast

    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 them. Instead, they responded to opportunities, navigated setbacks, and allowed circumstance, faith, and persistence to shape their path. And in the end, almost everyone wants the same thing. To be remembered not for their achievements… But for how they treated the people they loved. This week’s podcast is a reflection on what nearly a decade of podcast conversations has taught me about life, growth, and becoming. I hope you enjoy the reflection.
