This is Best Of 2025 (Part 1) — a look back at some of the conversations and ideas that shaped how I thought about training, performance, and athletic development over the past year.

This episode features selected clips from podcast conversations with Thomas DeLauer, Ben Patrick, John Welbourn, Brad Dunn, Adriell Mayes, Gabby Reece, Dr. Trevor Bachmeyer, and Daniel Back. Each of these discussions explored different angles of performance from strength and resilience to longevity, mindset, and the realities of long-term training.

Thank you to everyone who listened, shared episodes, and supported the podcast throughout 2025. The show's growth has been entirely community-driven, and I don’t take that for granted.

Part 1 focuses on several of the most impactful moments from the year, with more coming in Part 2.
