Ep.#26 - Fireside Chat with John Kaltenborn
Introducing my friend and colleague, John Kaltenborn. We have worked together for years on the X Games medical staff and had a chance to sit down and record a conversation while at the 2024 X Games in Aspen.
This is a raw and candid conversation covering some ground. We chat about our personal and professional lives, strengths and flaws, and how we seek to find purpose and balance in taking care of ourselves, while also being caretakers for others.
John shares about the morning routine he's adopted that has helped transformed his life to curate the life he desires for himself and his family.
I have a great deal of respect for John and loved the opportunity to share some of his insights.

Ep.#25- Berserker Built: Saving Veterans and First Responders - Tim DeMaio
Tim DeMaio has served in the Navy for 10 years and then followed up his military career as an overseas contractor. As a result of his experiences in this line of work, he suffered multiple TBI's (traumatic brain injuries), PTSI (post traumatic stress injury), severe migraines, tinnitus, various other traumas and the weight of guilt.
In his quest to heal, he spent the better part of 3 years in and out of the care of brain specialists around the world, and yet nothing worked. He was directed to "The Mission Within", an organization dedicated to saving and healing veterans...
On this podcast, he shares his story of healing and passion of designing skateboards to help others find recovery as well.

Ep.#23 The Montana Run - Becca Boylan
Can you imagine running across the state of Montana?!
Becca Boylan actually did it.
475.75 total miles ran averaging a marathon/day.
All to bring awareness to her mother's battle with cancer. This is a mind-blowing story of hope, mindset, sheer grit and love that will inspire and encourage you.
Thank you to Becca for allowing me to be a small part of this journey. What an honor it has been for me to be a practitioner for her and to watch this unfold. A true inspiration in every sense of the word.

Ep.#22- Neuroscience: Battling Invisible Injuries - Kate Pate
It was such a privilege to sit down with Kate Pate, a remarkably intelligent human who uses her superpower in neurophysiology to change lives with her military-specific device company, and also within many non-profit veteran organizations.
Kate is a Ph.D Neurophysiologist, coach, researcher, founder and CEO of her company Corona Medical. She advocates for functional and non-traditional approaches to healing, and helps people find the path that works best for them. Her methods are rooted as much in science as experience, having spend the better part of her own life healing from both visible and invisible injuries.

They are partners in business and in life, and we had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the pros and cons of cash-based private practice. The three of us have lots of similarities on how we treat our clientele and how we view returning athletes to the things they love doing in the midst of injury. I loved the chance to talk shop with other practitioners who took similar risks with our career paths.

Customer Reviews
Episode 1
Listened on the way home and JMac was intuitive in asking the questions that my wife and I were wondering. For example if creating WODs for the group is time consuming and boring, why not pay for them from various outlets? This was asked and answered later in the podcast which was cool to hear her and Brook’s take.
