That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Quotable moments:
"It's much more important to zoom out and say, how does this breathing practice affect my nervous system?" - Lucas Rockwood
"Everything can really be categorized into, is it a practice that balances, modulates my nervous system? A water category practice. Is it a practice that upregulates my sympathetic nervous system? So we call those coffee category practices or something that makes you sleepy and upregulates your parasympathetic system. So we'd call those whiskey practices." - Lucas Rockwood
"That evening one, sometimes you stretch out longer, but usually we do it right next to bed or in bed, so it's not a, not a huge ask. And it usually, any time you dedicate usually reduces your sleep latency to the point where it's a net gain, not a net loss." - Lucas Rockwood
