We also explore how physical stress affects cognitive performance, the importance of trust-building, and...
Greetings from two hours north of home! I’m up at my parents’ place this weekend—hanging out and testing some more foilboarding, mono-wing style, behind the boat. Heck, I even brought my wing and might give it a go off my sister’s SUP—haha. Here is what went down this week, and everyone cheer for JJ McCarthy and the Vikings on Sunday night football.: Newsletters: When Life Kneecaps You: 2 Powerful Methods To Move Forward: Consistency isn’t about robotic perfection, it’s about flexing the...
