You may know Chris from his consistent social media posts, but in this episode you'll get to understand Chris's vision for the #FutureOfWork - where he expects more people will be empowered to do better work than ever before - and why so many office customers (including BILLION DOLLAR global corporations) have chosen his company to help them evolve into a remote first or hybrid work model. Coming off a $13M dollar Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz, we learn how Firstbase is building an "AWS for the physical world", what superpowers knowledge based workers need, the risks to going remote and tips to getting it right.  Caleb asks Chris whether he expects companies to go back to the office full-time, and gets a surprise answer.

Looking forward, the future of work is really about choice – Chris Herd As leaders, we have to listen first and understand and empathize with people, so we can create the culture that works – Caleb Parker  The reality is a lot of habits and behaviours have calcified super deeply and many people see that they've had a massive quality of life upgrade – Chris Herd Remote for some has been a saviour – Caleb Parker As millions of people get exposed to normal remote working, instead of pandemic remote working, many of them will realise that they want a lot more remote work than they may necessarily have expected – Chris Herd You're giving superpowers to companies who want to make sure that their teams are successful working remotely – Caleb Parker The reality is there is going to be this combination approach, which is focused on choice for the individual, but spread across multiple different locations – Chris Herd To attract and retain the best talent to grow faster, if you don't embrace flexible working, workplace choice, remote then you're going to lose opportunities to attract that talent – Caleb Parker What companies require are really easy and efficient ways to set up support on scale remote teams globally – Chris Herd Remote first organizations should be the most inclusive, diverse and accessible in history – Chris Herd   Resources Chris' Linkedin  www.linkedin.com/in/chrisherd  Chris' Twitter  @chris_herd https://twitter.com/chris_herd Firstbase website  www.firstbasehq.com    About Chris Herd https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisherd/ Chris Herd is the founder and CEO of Firstbase, an all-in-one provisioning platform that lets companies provide all the practical equipment remote workers need at the touch of a button.

In this episode, Chris talks about the process he uses to self-publish books. If you don't think writing a book is worth it, Chris is here to tell you otherwise. You may not make a ton of money from royalties; however, self-publishing has many other benefits. You can diversify your income when you're known as an authority figure and as an expert in your field. Tune in as Chris dives deep into the self-publishing process, including the importance of an outline, an editor, and how to navigate imposter syndrome. Meet Chris Swenson Chris Swenson, LMFT is the author of the recently published book, “Private Practice Warrior.” He is the Owner/Founder/solo-operator of Rhino Wellness Center which is Chris' successful full-time solo practice in rural Colorado. Chris is a true Private Practice Warrior who is currently developing a program called, “Private Practice Warrior – A Powerful Mindset for Ambitious Practice Owners – The “Way” to True Fulfillment in Life and Business.

Chris says you may not make a lot of money from the royalties, but the benefits will pay off in the long run. When you write a book, you'll gain a lot of credibility as an expert in your industry. When you are an authority on your topic, you'll get invites to speak at events and programs. It's like having a business card – you can show people what you have done and put yourself out there. The Self-Publishing Process First, start with an idea. What is something that you have always wanted to write about? If you help people with something all the time, that can be an excellent topic for your book. When you have an idea in mind, check out other books on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Spend some time looking at the reviews for similar books. That way, you can see what people liked about the books and what people think the author could improve. Next, you'll want to identify your purpose for writing the book. The purpose will guide you through the process. If you forget why you're writing a book, then you are going to get off track. Pick A Style and Start Your Outline Think about the style of book you are looking to write. Are you going to be more on the traditional and scientific side of writing? Or will you write your book more like a story? You can follow a character as they learn life lessons. After you know the style, then you need to start your outline. The outline helps with the writing process – it can be challenging to start. One way to start an outline is by doing a brain dump. Write everything and anything that you think of in your head. From there, you can bundle ideas into themes. Get as creative as you can with the outline; it will make the writing process more streamlined. Finding Time To Write Your Book When you're finding time to write your book, that's where the purpose comes into play. Remember why you decided to write the book in the first place. If you don't have a purpose for writing the book, you will never find time to finish it. To help with the process, come up with a writing plan. If you know what day you want to publish by, then you can work backward. Think about how many chapters you need to write each week to finish the book on time. If you don't finish in time, it's okay! Keep trucking along and continue writing. Chris likes to speak into his phone instead of writing it down. That way, the process goes by way faster. Should You Hire An Editor? A lot of people who self-publish will recommend that you hire an editor to go over your book. Remember that there are different kinds of editors. Some people will edit for content, development, and even grammatical. If you're not sure where to find an editor, you can hire a freelance one using the website Fiverr. When you edit your own book, you may keep adding and adding things – it will drag the process on. So, please stick to your schedule and get it done. If you need to add more, then don't be afraid to write another edition. Create Your Title & Cover While the book is being edited, you can finally start thinking of a title and draft the cover of your book. Chris loves to use Canva for his covers. If you're publishing an eBook, then Canva is the way to go. If you want something that looks a little more professional, then you can hire a graphic designer. Again, you can check out Fiverr to hire a freelancer for the job. Always go back to the purpose and who you want to reach. That way, it will determine if you need a cover for an eBook, printed book, or both! Imposter Syndrome As An Author You're never going to overcome imposter syndrome as an author. Instead, it would be best if you worked through the thoughts and the feelings you have. Those thoughts are going to be there – you need to accept them and embrace them. Then, you can move through it and continue the writing process. If you are going to put yourself out there, you will hear the whispers of imposter syndrome. Part of the process is accepting those whispers. These are the same topics that our clients deal with all the time. Think about what you would tell your clients about dealing with their internal critics. It's better to take imperfect action than perfect action. Put the draft out there and finetune your book afterward.

On this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Dr. Chris Johnson to discuss empowering runners through rehab. He is a Seattle-based physical therapist, performance coach, speaker, and multiple-time Kona Qualifier.    In this episode, we discuss: Is resistance training needed for runners? Are training errors to blame for running injuries?  How can clinicians guide the decision-making process around pain and return to running? Chris's best advice to be a running injury expert.  How can the profession of Physical Therapy be thought of as your best friend in healthcare. The importance of being present and curious.     Resources: Chris's Instagram  Chris's Facebook Chris's Website How to Improve Profits AND Profit Margins in Your Practice Webinar from New Health Running Round Table Talk    More About Dr. Johnson:  Chris Johnson completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Delaware, where he earned a bachelor of science with distinction while completing a senior thesis in the physical therapy department under Dr. Lynn Snyder-Mackler.

I'm so happy to have you on in our month. All about running and running injury and running rehab. So thank you for carving out the time. Speaker 2 (00:11): It's fun to be back it's it's always a pleasure to connect with you. And it just snaps me back to New York city and I still don't know how we never crossed paths when when we were both there, but here we are, and I'm glad we connected and also happy women's history month. You're someone who's sort of spearheading a lot of great stuff in this space. And I think a lot of people, especially women look up to you and that you're a role model. So things that you've accomplished and continue to work on. Speaker 1 (00:47): That's very kind. Thank you. And now today we're going to do a basic Q and a with Chris Johnson. So Chris gets tons of flooded with questions and comments and things like that from emails to social media. And so I thought, well, let's see if we can make life a little bit easier, reach a wide audience and get some of these questions and concepts under control for you and out to the public. So let's start with a common question that you get is all is kind of around resistance, training and running. Do you need it? Do you not need it? I know that's a really broad question. So I'll throw it over to you around the the, the concept of resistance training and Speaker 2 (01:40): Yeah, and it's a, it's such a great question. I think that everyone's default answer is, you know, basically resistance training is a Holy grail for runners. And I do think it, it has its place, but I think that there are a lot of gaps in the research. And is it something that I prioritize myself as well as in working with the athletes I coach? Absolutely. But I think that anytime you're working with the runner, the primary goal is to get them into a rhythm with their training and to establish consistency of training. And then you can consider to start layering things in this is assuming someone's training and they're healthy. They have no remarkable past medical history. I, I think that, you know, the answer to that question differs especially if we start to get into master level runners who typically have a remarkable past medical history because most of these injuries and conditions go under rehab. Speaker 2 (02:41): You and I both know that as clinicians. So I think that a lot of the resistance training may just be cleaning up sloppy rehab that perhaps they didn't get around to addressing things at the tail end of the rehab. So there's a quote that I love, which is, you know, resistance training is really coordination, training under load. So, so yeah, I do think it has its place but it should be there to support our running, into build our capacity to run, but I've seen a lot of people get it wrong and they end up whether it's, if they're racing, they go into races where they're a little bit sluggish or they're carrying some residual fatigue. I've seen people get injured in the weight room if they're not perhaps if they're, you know, younger and more green. So yeah, I, I do think it has its place, but like everything you have to approach that, that runner athlete on an individualized basis and just understand where they're coming from. Speaker 1 (03:40): And in your experience, working with runners, what are the biggest barriers to resistance training for runners? Because not everyone has, you know, access to the same equipment and time and everything else. So what, what have you found to be the biggest barriers to resistance training? Speaker 2 (04:00): I think a lot of runners are intimidated by it unless they come from perhaps a multi-sport background where they've spent time in a weight room. I think right now with the pandemic, obviously resources and equipment or gyms are not as accessible or gyms opened in New York city right now are on a limited basis. Speaker 1 (04:22): They're open on a limited basis. I think you have to make an appointment a certain times and things like that. Speaker 2 (04:29): Yeah. And then I think that when people do get to the gym, they may not know what to do, and they may resort to something that they see on social media, some of the time, which might be fine. But I think that with running running has predictable performance demands. So it shouldn't be a mystery in terms of what we're trying to do. We're trying to challenge the calves, quads, lateral hip. And we're also we're not layering this in a ton. We're layering it in maybe twice a week on average. So but yeah, I think a lot of runners lack direction, and that's something that, you know, I try to put out a ton of content online. So people start to see how I'm approaching it. And I'm trying to essentially synthesize the literature and translate it to to just the everyday runner. Speaker 2 (05:18): And I think that there's also this element of rhythm and timing with running and that doesn't always get addressed through resistance training. I think perhaps a little bit more since some of Ebony Rio's research, but again, that's really in the rehab sector space talking about tendons, but I think that a lot of the TNT work or the tendon neuroplastic training work just has such salience to resistance training programs as well. So anytime, you know, people work with me, they're, they're going to get accustomed to using a metronome. It's just one more factor variable that I think that we can control for when we're prescribing. I Speaker 1 (05:58): Love the metronome. I love it. Love Speaker 2 (06:01): It easy. After a while though, I Speaker 1 (06:03): Give to everyone, even with my, even with my younger athletes, they get it, you know, and actually with those younger athletes, I'm talking teens, it's using the metronome, although they're like, Oh my God, I have to listen to this again. But it is actually good to give them a little bit of discipline around the, around the movement, around the exercise. But I love, I love the metronome. I have my patients like download the metronome, get used to it when you're exercising. I know it can be a little monotonous, but I think like you, like you said that with the research of Ebony Rio and others, I think it gives people, I don't know, like a, a little bit more discipline around their training. Speaker 2 (06:49): Yeah. I use it a lot when, if I'm giving someone calf raises something like a rear foot elevated split squat. If we're basically doing like a three zero three where it's like down on three seconds, up on three seconds without pausing yeah. It helps to maintain this rhythm. And a lot of the times I'll stop the exercise when they break that rhythm. Because it's telling me that, you know, maybe we're starting to reach the upper end of their abilities for that given exercise. Speaker 1 (07:18): Right. And we all know that three seconds to one person is very different to another. Speaker 2 (07:22): Yeah. Well, and this is what, you know, when Scott Morrison talks about anchoring and I just did that Instagram post on, you know, stop being awake or start to anchor. I'm starting to realize I'm becoming a dissenter. But you know, that's where the metronome comes in. And I've played with this so much. I mean, my, my neighbors probably think I'm crazy because I'm like out front with a metronome going, and I'm doing all these weird exercises. Well, weird to them. Speaker 1 (07:49): What sort of things do you implement to get over the barriers? Well, you just answered that. Anything else that you may implement to get over barriers to resistance training for runners? Like, like you said, in that runner who is very intimidated, maybe never used resistance training before. Speaker 2 (08:06): Yeah. I mean, I, a lot of the times when patients show up to my house, I mean, I'm working out of my garage. We have a space on our property, you know, when they arrive a lot of times I'm deliberately training. So they see what I'm doing and they see that this is a normal part of my routine. And then they get a lens into my racing background, yada yada. And so I want them to realize that this is something that is normal. And I think in a lot of running circles, and I think this is starting to change that it's not prioritized to the extent that it is. And maybe I'm just getting older because, you know, as a master athlete, it's amazing having dealt with some patellar tendon issues, like my body craves resistance training, where if I don't do it, I start to sort of get reminded. My knee feels so much better after I load it and load it relatively heavy. Now you have to be cognizant for reasons I mentioned before, in terms of like, you're not going to want to do a bunch of heavy squats. If you have a race coming up you can keep your body under load, but you need to be a little bit more calculated with your exercise selection as well as your dosage. Speaker 1 (09:12): Yeah. And, and that's where I think working with a coach or therapist or someone who understands understands one resistance training and two race training and how you can kind of blend those together is really important. And now sticking with training, let's talk about training errors. Can we just blame everything on training errors? Is that, is that an okay thing to do now? Or am I, is that not good? And I say, I say that with a wink for those people who are listening. Speaker 2 (09:40): Yeah. I mean, I think it's a convenient thing to do, but I think that I'm going to get myself in trouble here. I think it's a little bit lazy too. In, in, I think that having lived in New York city that you realize the life load factor, right. You know, there's different stressors in New York, between loud noises, you know, smelly things, you know, financial stressors in crowded spaces, you know, maybe your sleep has fallen by the wayside. So you may have a training program that's very sensible. And, and then all of a sudden you have something come up. I think to one of my, I'm an athlete who I'm working with right now, and this guy's just been just so tough and durable. And recently things have started to take a turn in a bad way. You know, he, he lost his mom. Speaker 2 (10:38): He's been having to contend with that. He's had some other job-related issues and and then he he's come down with the patellar tendinopathy and his training didn't change that much. And we actually dialed it back a little bit and it just shows it sometimes all of these other factors, you know, play such an important role in the overall being or totality of that athlete. So, you know, I, I, I think that we'd be much better off calling them ecosystem EHRs where perhaps there's a disconnect, but I think that we have to be careful, always blaming it on training. And I, I get the point, I think that, you know, from a, from a research standpoint, maybe the reviewers are requiring the authors to, to present it in that manner. But I just think there's a lot more moving parts. And I find myself having worked with a ton of athletes over the course of my career, being an athlete that you have to really be in touch with your ecosystem. Speaker 2 (11:39): And I don't know who first came up with that word. I know Greg uses it quite a bit, but I think it's something that, that is great to consider. And anytime I start working with an athlete, I have a conversation and it doesn't end during that initial consultation or phone call, but I'm saying, tell me about your life. What was it like growing up? You know, what, what was your relationship with food? You know, what kind of sports did you play? You know, were you in public school? Did you go to private school? What was college like if you went to college, you know, what's your current situation? Are you single? Are you married? Do you have kids? Are you a single parent? You know, I need to capture all this information and that's just scratching the tip of the iceberg in that conversation's never ending. So I feel like the more I know where people are in life, the easier it becomes to start putting down sensible workouts on paper and make sure when you put them down on paper, they go and pencil nodding. Speaker 1 (12:34): Yeah. I love that. Getting deeper into those questions and, you know, we had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with the surrounding a female athlete on clubhouse and Tracy Blake, who is just fabulous. I don't know if you're familiar with Tracy. She's a physical therapist in Canada. She's worked with a lot of professional athletes there, including their Olympic volleyball team. And she was talking about questions to ask. And I think oftentimes this is sort of floated over kind of skimmed over by a lot of PTs because we asked, tell me about, tell me what happened, what happened with your injury? Tell me what happened here, not the questions you just said. Tell me about your life. Are you married? Like Tracy said, you know, a question she always asks is, do you have children? Do you have pets? What, cause that gives you an idea. What are your responsibilities throughout the day? Yeah, Speaker 2 (13:29): I always say, you know, look, give me a lens into your situation and let the conversation unfold from there. And I think, you know, whether you're a physical therapist or coach, I think all physical therapists or coaches, whether they realize it or not, you know, you're, you're trying to basically capture that ecosystem. And to, to just have, you know, talk to people about, you know, I just have a candid chat with folks and from there, then we can start pulling levers. Speaker 1 (13:59): Right? Cause then you're getting a, really, a more holistic view of this person. And then you can say, okay, they have two small children they're working from home. Their kids are being at school, school, they're at home. They don't have the time to spend two hours a day between training and running and everything else. And how can you make things work for them? Is that about right? Yeah. Speaker 2 (14:25): And I think that any, any time a patient or athlete consults us, they're looking at us as an agent of change and the true agent of change is themselves. And it's trying to help them plot out their own course. And maybe you, you know, you're shining a light on the path here and there, or making sure that they don't step into a pothole along the way. But that's something that, you know, I find myself more and more. I have any expectations to, I don't do things to people. I sit there and troubleshoot with them. And, and I think that that's what we, as physical therapists are phenomenal with. And not only do we have the skillset, but a lot of times it most of us have positioned us to have the time to do that. And you can't rush that process. So but yeah, we're, we're not in a system that incentivizes that, you know, you don't get paid to talk to people, you get paid to do things to people. And that's the fundamental problem with, for the reimbursement structure, for people who are in network. I mean, you and I are a little bit spoiled in the sense that when we're providing care, it's just ourselves and the patient, but that's, I think that needs to be the standard or approximate the standard. Yeah. Speaker 1 (15:41): And isn't it like amazing when that aha moment comes as you're sort of talking through things like you said, troubleshooting, and the patient goes, Oh, wait a second. I can do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or, Hey, maybe that I didn't even think about that. Maybe that is contributing to XYZ. Speaker 2 (15:57): Yeah. And I, that's a lot of motivational interviewing and sometimes, you know, I was talking with a couple of people yesterday. Sometimes people who've already arrived, you know, if we're, if we're discussing surgery, you know, I think our goal is to always try to help people avoid surgery, but sometimes people are just dead set and you say, look, you know, I get the sense that you've really just you've arrived at the fact that you're going to have this surgery. Am I correct in saying that, and you know, if that's what you've elected to move forward with, this is your decision. What questions do you have about the surgery? You know, and, and then you may start getting into a conversation and say, Hey, can I, can I share my experience? You know, this happened to me with my clavicle. I was in Hawaii, we'll be traveling to Argentina to speak. Speaker 2 (16:44): My wife was pregnant. We had a little one, I was going to have to do a lot of physical tasks. And I'm like, I just need the surgery. I didn't have it on my right shoulder when I, my clavicle fracture. And I was just dead set. I'm like, I'm in Hawaii, there's a competent doc. This is not a super involved procedure, like a soft tissue procedure of the shoulder hip. And I had this and I could have been kicked myself for doing it in hindsight, but no one would have talked me out of that at the time. So sometimes people have to learn through their mistakes and sometimes that can be a tough pill to swallow, but that, that patient ultimately controls that decision. So sort of bobbing and weaving, but, Speaker 1 (17:25): And, you know, you just led perfectly into the next topic I wanted to cover. And another question that you get asked often and that's, and that is surrounding pain and pain and decision-making, so we, you, I feel like you led perfectly right into that. So let's talk about how we as clinicians and practitioners, where our role is when it comes to pain and decision-making for that client or that athlete. Speaker 2 (17:53): Yeah. It's it's one of the first things, if not the first thing that I discussed with people I did a book chapter for this it's called clinical care of the runner. Dr. Harris. Who's a physician at university of Washington was the editor. And he asked if I would read a chapter on training principles. And I essentially said, the first thing that we needed to discuss is someone's relationship with pain and what their understanding of it is and how they approach decision-making in around pain. Because if you're running, you're going to be dealing with pain at some point, you know? And and I think people have an inaccurate understanding a lot of the times. So, and I think sometimes we, you know, I'll use an analogy that Mike Stewart or you used which I think is brilliant. You know, sometimes when we're out training and we're driving through a school zone, right? Speaker 2 (18:48): School's in session, the lights are blinking, slow down. All right. Sometimes you may be driving through that crosswalk. School's in session lights are blinking and you have a crossing guard. Who's standing in the middle of the stop sign. Maybe that's a case of someone's dealing with the bone stress injury. So you need to really hate that. Other times you may be driving through that school zone. It's a weekend, no blinking lights proceed as is usual. And I think that's a good way to think about training, but you know, you and I both know that if someone has a lower limb tendinopathy, you know, we want to monitor their pain and understand how it's responding as a function of a particular training session, whether that's a run, whether it's a plyometric training session or a heavy, slow resistance, but we don't want to shut that person down in it. Speaker 2 (19:37): As much as we in our profession may be, high-fiving each other thinking that we're doing a good job of this. Most of the people that consult me, even people perhaps worked with me in the past for short periods of time. They still, when they experience pain, they assume damage and inflammation. And what do they do? A lot of times they, they they'll resort to taking anti-inflammatories and here we go. I mean, this is a, this is where things go South. So I think it's just important to say, Hey, what sense do you make of this? You know, what do you, what are your reservations? Are you okay working through some pain? And I think from there then the stage is set to proceed. But with a lot of, I've worked with a lot of master athletes and they're, they've had a history of lower limb tendinopathy. Speaker 2 (20:23): I know that with my left knee, that, you know, I, I worked through almost a year of pain, but I never stopped training. And I was just sensible in how I was staggering, my workouts to afford appropriate recovery time. And and also just knowing how college and synthesis behaves. So yeah, I think that people have a, a skewed understanding and it's also something very personal, but yeah, if you're working with athletes, it's a critical conversation to have. And I do think that this is where I know Ellie was on talking about bone stress injuries, that if you are remotely concerned about a bone stress injury, and it involves a high risk site, like zero out of 10 pain is the goal. Most other instances, I'm a little bit more cavalier, but if I know, if I see some of the signs that I would associate with the bone stress injury, especially if we haven't had imaging, I'm going to be conservative as hell. Yeah. Speaker 1 (21:19): And I think it's important to, to note that understanding the runner and that's where understanding the ecosystem comes in and understanding, especially for bone stress injuries, where those high likelihood of those injuries occurring. So it also like you have to know your stuff as well is what I'm getting at when it comes to runners and, and having that conversation around pain can be uncomfortable for that runner or for that person. Cause you may have to dismantle a lot of long-held beliefs. So how do you go about that with your, your athletes? Speaker 2 (21:57): I just asked everyone who who connects with me. I say, can you give me w what, what's your understanding of your situation? You know, and I think runners, a lot of times may not come clean if they're dealing with pain, because if they go to see a healthcare professional, they're going to be concerned that they're going to get shut down work. Perhaps they interpret it as a sign of weakness. If they're out on a group run, they don't want, want to be the one complaining. So I just say, Hey, you know, what's your understanding of your situation? And no one's ever asked him that. And that's when the conversation unfolds. So, and I think the way people respond is going to be different pending the person, the situation. But I think it's remissive anyone who's working with a runner or an athlete if they don't ask that question. I feel like I started to answer your question, but I don't know if I do. Speaker 1 (22:48): No, you did. That's exactly what I wanted. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Cause I want the listeners to get as much of this like great little tidbits of information from you as they can. And you know, all of the questions, the questions to ask the patient that you've given so far, I think are great jumping off points for any therapist, regardless of whether you're working for, with a runner or an athlete. But that question of give me the, let me know, what is your understanding of what's going on? And that opens up a whole lot of doors for you. And then, you know, as the therapist, you have to be well versed in the science behind pain and, and how to talk to people. And, and of course it's a whole other conversation, but you know, I think what you're highlighting here is that you can't wing it. Speaker 2 (23:36): No. And I think sometimes, you know, I had a question from a third year DPT student who watched a presentation. I gave at some and they're like, Hey, I feel like I'm starting to ask the right question, but then I don't know how to respond and follow up. And and I think that, you know, you can't rush this process if you're in, if you're a young clinician that you're going to get better at this through reps, through life experience and just through sort of being in the trenches with people. But you know, the other thing I tell folks is I say, look, you're a smart person, you know? And I, you know, when I first acknowledge the fact, I think it's good that you're being proactive and addressing the situation, but left to your own devices. What do you feel like you, you need to do to get on the other side of this and they start to formulate a plan and I do, I don't need to do anything. Speaker 2 (24:27): I just need to pose these questions and say like, I think that's pretty sensible, you know? Are you okay if we nudge a little bit and you start to basically prepare them for the fact that this plan has got to be progressive, if we're talking about getting them back to running, because they have to get back to a low-level plyometric activity. And I just love these conversations. And, you know, people ask me, they're like, where you learn motivational interviewing. And I'm like, I lived in New York city for decade. I'm like, I just talk to people and I have no agenda. I'm just curious, you know, it drives my wife crazy. Cause if we're ever out in public this happened yesterday. I went to, I had to get a new watch because my watch crapped out and this guy was checking out some watches and we just got to talk to me. And my wife was looking over at me, like, where are we go? Speaker 1 (25:12): Your wife is looking at her watch, like, come on, Chris, get it together Speaker 2 (25:18): And things off the shelves. Speaker 1 (25:21): But it's true. I think that, you know, asking good questions, motivational interviewing a lot. Yes. There's a lot of books. You can pick any book on motivational interviewing and read it and it will definitely give you some insight, but it's the more you do. It's the more people you talk to and not just your patients, anybody, the more you talk to anybody, it will help you be a better motivational interviewer. And the more that you listen and like really listen and start to formulate it's practice. I guess you start to formulate your follow-up questions in your head as you're listening. And again, it's just practice, practice, practice. Speaker 2 (25:57): Yeah. And it's, it's fine. I think that it takes on a slightly different flavor as a function of, you know, what generation the person's coming from too, you know? So but yeah, it's just fun to help troubleshoot with people and to really get them to trust in themselves. Because most of the, the folks that consult me, I mean, they're endurance athletes, namely runners and triathletes these days, and they're going to manage their situation conservatively. Sometimes I feel like they need to be talked off the ledge. If they're going to opt for a more invasive procedure, if that's not really appropriate or perhaps an injectable of some sort. So, but yeah, getting people to trust in their body and and not drag them in for therapy all the time, you know, and I, I have to prepare people for that to say, you know, how do you anticipate this is going to go? Speaker 2 (26:49): And they're like, well, maybe I'll see you two to three times a week for six to eight weeks. I'm like, who's footing that bill. No, no, one's good. Yeah. So I say, you know, but this, this requires a lot of work on us on the back end because when I write an email, I mean, email, I wrote to this person yesterday, it was basically like, you know, two pages and cause it, kids dealing with the bone stress injury, the parents don't really understand the implications of it. He's going to be running competitively in college. And, and I think that he was under the notion that he was going to be back to running in four weeks. And I'm like let's talk about more like four months. And I lay this out and I'm like, you know, I know this is probably a little bit, you know, overwhelming, or you weren't expecting to hear this. What are your thoughts on this? You know, to engage him, to just know where he is after I've presented this information and he got the memo. But that's, that's a tricky thing about bone stress injuries is people fall under the, you know, the idea that they're just gonna take a couple of weeks off and plugged back in. Speaker 1 (27:49): Yeah. Yeah. And again, that's where you, as a, as a therapist and a coach comes in and helps the decision-making you're ultimately, you're not that runner, you're not that athlete. So you're not the ultimate decision maker, but your job is to give as much information and, and your professional opinion as to their situation as you can. Speaker 2 (28:14): Yeah. And I, I think that it traces back to that question is like, what are your expectations or questions around this surgery? I mean, this is a very involved procedure. They're putting you under anesthesia and they're cutting your body open. Never we'll frame it like that, you know, when I'm working with people. But you know, I, I rehabbed all of these people after these very involved, soft tissue procedures of the shoulder when I was in New York, coming from Dr. Nicholas in his staff. And yeah, I'm like, this is going to be six months to a year before you feel like your, your shoulder is like firing on all cylinders. Speaker 1 (28:47): Yeah. Yeah. I had, I had a complex soft tissue shoulder repair and it was a year anyway, we can go on and on when it comes to a patient mindset, fear, trepidation, everything else. I think that's for another podcast. But I think you definitely got across the decision-making process on behalf of us as a therapist or coach and how we can influence that process for the patient. Speaker 2 (29:12): Yeah. And I think that if patients aren't on board, I mean, if they are around muddy water where there's a sinister situation and they start sort of dilly-dallying, I think that we need to really put our foot down his therapist too and say, look, you know, you've consulted me and here are my recommendations or here's my professional advice. And if you're not going to take it, let's just, let's just part here. And sometimes we don't need to do that a lot, but I think sometimes we drag our feet as clinicians and we need to, we need to put our foot down if we have to protect that person from themselves, because we can't get tangled up in that mess. I can't think of the last time that's happened, but it has happened over the course of my career. Speaker 1 (29:57): So those, I mean, those are sticky conversations to have, but for the safety, I mean, our job is to protect that, protect our, our athlete, our patients. So if that is our job, then you have to have those sticky conversations. Yeah. And that's it. All right. So I think that was thank you for that conversation on decision-making and hopefully it sparks plant some seeds in our listeners here. And now we'll go on to two more questions that you usually, that you get the easy ones. You will we'll breeze through these too. These are easy. How do you become a runner running injury expert To how many times do you get that question? How can I do what you do? Speaker 2 (30:41): Yeah, I it's, I, I love getting it it's flattering. You know, and, and it's something that it was sort of, I looked back and all, I, there, there were a couple of defining moments in my life. And one was when I was told that I'd never be able to run again. You will never run again. Right. I heard that a couple of times from very world-renowned orthopedists. And I think that's what ultimately put me on a trajectory to do this. And I never ran competitively when I was younger. I probably should have been channeled into a little bit more of a, a running program, but I was always playing sport, different sports, you know, from skateboarding to soccer, to tennis, to baseball, to basketball, to lacrosse, to, you know, rollerblading snowboard, like you name it. I played it. And except football, just because my high school didn't have a football team. Speaker 2 (31:39): So I always relied on running to help me in sport. But I feel very fortunate in hindsight that I never started really formal distance running until I moved to New York city around like maybe 24, 25. But I, I think that when I started getting into triathlon is when I started working with a lot more runners. And I think when I started distance running, that was around the same time and it's just a fun bunch to work with. And I think that initially I was overconfident and it got to be frustrating when I'm like, geez, this is a healthy person. Like I would send them out. I'm like, Hey, I think you're doing good. And they would come hobbling home. Or they would call him and be like, Oh, I blew up on that run. And I'm like, why are these people blowing up on these runs? Speaker 2 (32:25): Like I thought they were doing a good job. And then it just really forced me to stare at myself in the face and say like, what do I need to be doing to really help these people? And, you know, I started reading a lot of the research. I started spending time around runners. I started speaking a lot with this fellow Bruce Wilke, who was sort of like a savant with running who unfortunately has since passed. But I started to really get a handle on running and not only on running, but just the mindset of runners, how they approach training how they've sort of just been dismissed by the medical community. Because you're like, Oh, here's a runner here comes another crazy runner. And then you start to realize that runner, when someone tells you they're a runner, you don't have other athletes. Speaker 2 (33:09): When you meet someone, you know, you could meet someone, you could meet a world-class athlete and they may not come claim that the fact that they play a competitive sport professionally, or they play a professional sport until you talk to them, runners like I'm here, I'm a runner, you know? And so they really stuff, they go through an identity crisis. So you have to look at this from so many different lenses. You have to understand the performance demands of the sport. You have to understand, you know, just running communities. You need to understand that these people's identity revolves around their running. So they become fragile when they're not running. So I just loved the challenge of, you know, addressing all these different factors and and it helps that I, that I'm still training and racing competitively because I sort of go through, I think a lot of the same struggles and challenges that they face so I can speak to them. Speaker 2 (34:01): But I think that if people want to go, go in on running as a young clinician, coach running is having a moment go all in, right. We saw an uptick and running with the, you know, with the pandemic. And I think that if you're going to work with runners, you don't want to say like, Oh, I do general outpatient orthopedic, orthopedic rehab. It's like, no, my whole practice revolves around running. You know, people are like, they come to me because they know that, you know unfortunately I've had a pretty rich experience in terms of my, my didactic training. And, you know, when I was getting reps under my belt in New York city. So I feel like now I can look at things through a very global lens when a runner presents and we can troubleshoot most of the time, I'm seeing people for one, maybe two sessions. But I think that that running rehab is challenging in a lot of different ways, but if people have a, an interest go all in, Speaker 1 (35:02): I think that's great advice. And I also really liked that. You just mentioned, Hey, I'm not seeing runners three times a week for six to eight weeks. You know, I'm not, this is not how I'm, I'm, I'm building my practice. And I think that's important to let people know, because I think a lot of newer graduates or students might be thinking, Oh, this is going to be great. I'm going to be working with people several times a week for six weeks. And then they're all better. Not so much the case when it comes to running injuries. Speaker 2 (35:31): Yeah. And their runners just seem to perpetually get these niggles and aches and pains. But, you know, I, I, I think it's doing a disservice because if you bring someone in, if you say, Hey, look, I need to see a couple of times a week for the next six to eight weeks. You know, someone told me that I'm like, man, I must have something serious going on. So I just say, Hey, look I'm not concerned. Anything sinister is present. I want you to be sensible. You're around muddy water, but carry on. All right. In calling me if you need me. And I think that they're like, wow, I've had people reach out and are, you know, this person told me they were running five to six days a week and their quads were a little bit sore. I'm like, Oh, you're good, man. Speaker 2 (36:10): You don't need to see me. You know, I said, and I asked him some, some more involved questions, but I'm like, you don't need to see me. That's a really empowering message, you know, because the person's like, Hey, I'm here ready to pay you. And you're telling me that you don't want to see me. I, one of a guy who's become a good friend of mine. He was dealing with some hip pain. He was in a bicycle accident and he had some films in between x-rays MRR because of a woman who who's pulling out of a parking lot, had collide with him for whatever reason. And you know, and I got a lens, you know, I saw his power profile on his bike. I saw the lifts that he was doing because we were training at the same facility. And he's like, I, I need to come and see you for physical therapy. Speaker 2 (36:52): I'm like, no, you don't. I'm like, I'm watching you lift, man. You don't need to come and see for, you know, let's, let's just chat. If we cross paths here and he's become a very good friend, he, he always jokes. He's like, you're the only PT you've told me not to come and see you. He's like all these other people are like trying to get me in and get me on these programs and tell me, I need hip surgery and PRP and yada, yada. So, but you need to know that nothing sinister is going on the flip side of the coin. Speaker 1 (37:19): Right. And that's where experience comes in and confidence as a clinician comes in as well. And that takes time. So you're not going to be, so what I'm getting is if you want to be a running injury expert, go all in, read the research, do the things, take the classes and take time. It takes time and leave your ego at the door. Speaker 2 (37:39): Yeah. And I think the patterns will become, they'll become pretty straight away in terms of where runners are getting into trouble. You know, where are these injuries are manifesting? And, you know, I, I think that most of it is being disconnected or out of touch with your ecosystem and not laying down programs that sort of reflect your ecosystem and realize that target is always moving. Right? Speaker 1 (38:03): Yeah. Yeah. Excellent. Okay. Final question of our interview here. And again, it's, it's an easy one. So, so we talked about this ahead of time. This is an easy one. So, well, how do I even phrase this in looking at the profession of physical therapy, what can we do better to define what we do and kind of stake our claim on what we do as a profession? Speaker 2 (38:37): Yeah. I still am organizing my thoughts around this. I went into physical therapy because I thought it put me in the best possible position to help troubleshoot with people through a conservative approach. And I think that the challenge we have is physical therapy is a very tricky thing to define. And I think that where we're ultimately, and this is a quote from Jen Shelton, who was you know, in born to run, she was a young gifted ultra runner at the time. I don't know what she's up to these days, but she's she's a trip in all great ways, but she said physical therapists are your best friends in healthcare. And I think that we're well positioned to be the first line of defense because we're trained across such a broad through such a broad range. So, you know, you may see us working in cardiopulmonary capacity. Speaker 2 (39:40): You may see us working in wound care. You may see us working in a neurologic geriatric with geriatric population. You may see us basically with working with pro sports teams you know, pelvic floor. I mean, it's tricky when you have all these moving parts, but I, I don't think that we've defined who we are as a profession, to the extent that we need to. And and I think that's why a lot of other people end up defining us sometimes in good ways sometimes in bad ways. But I think that it's sort of like, you know, I'm in Seattle, I'm going to use a microbrew example. You know, you have run of the mill rehab. And I think some people lump physical therapy ended up, but physical therapy to me is sort of like a microbrew, right. We need to tell people what to think about it. Speaker 2 (40:34): We can't let them conjure up their own ideas. We need to really define who we are as a profession. And and I, I don't think we've done that yet. I think that we're, we're getting there, but I don't, I don't think we've done a really good job defining physical therapy. Cause if you ask people, you know, people are like, yeah, I've tried physical therapy and we know the same, the response, it's a heat ultrasound TheraBand. And it's always funny when people connect with me, they're like, this is so different from like what I expect to physical therapy to be. And I'm like, well, what did you expect it to be? And it was generally the response is what I just mentioned. And they're like, you just helped me troubleshoot and in sort of the seamless way. And, and that's what I think we do. Speaker 2 (41:21): We triage and troubleshoot. But we look at things through the people who I really respect in life. They're able to look at challenging situations through multiple lenses. And I think that that's how we're trained as physical therapists. And I think that that's why we're in such an incredible position to troubleshoot with people. So I don't know why you've got my gears grinding even more. And I, I, I think about this morning, noon and night is, you know, how do we better define our profession? So we don't let people conjure up their own ideas of what it is, because I think a lot of times if they've had a bad experience, that it becomes very skewed in physical just saying physical therapy doesn't capture it. Speaker 1 (42:09): Yeah. I agree with that. And so what can we do as a profession to change that? I agree it needs to be changed. And I agree we need to be the ones out in front talking about what we do and how we do it and why we do it. So when, when you think about that, what sort of ways can we be out in front and take control of the narrative? Speaker 2 (42:33): I mean, I think it needs to be orchestrated. And I think that that's, that's a major challenge right now. Because I think that is a profession we're a little bit more fragmented than, than one might think. So I think that we have to have a lot of people come together from different sectors of the field and have have a long, hard staring in the mirror and talk with each other to try and arrive in a definition for what we do. And I think it's a really challenging thing, but I think it's something that is very important, but I think also individuals like yourself where you start to represent the profession. You know, I try to do the same thing. I think that holds a lot of weight too. So I, I think it, you sort of have to take a multi-pronged approach. Speaker 1 (43:23): Yeah, yeah. So you have to take that 30,000 foot approach by having a lot of people from different areas come together and give that wide umbrella. But then from a micro position, individuals can also be out there and trying to, to change, to make a change. Speaker 2 (43:40): Yeah. And and I, I'm confident that we're going to do that. I don't know. I feel like I'm in my early forties now and I'm starting to become more reflective in life. Right. And and really think about, you know, a lot of things, one of which is a profession and, you know, I just feel like a pig in poop having landed in this profession because I'm such a diehard PT, but I also, like, I feel like the perception of physical therapy needs to change too. Speaker 1 (44:09): And, you know, I will say that I do see it changing slowly. I mean, this is a big ship to turn and I'm talking from a societal standpoint. And I say that because I see more and more in mainstream media, whether it be on television, print, blogs, podcasts, et cetera, that journalists are now reaching out to physical therapists. Whereas they would have reached out to a trainer, a chiropractor, a yoga instructor, or something like that when it comes to their articles on everything from training to, I just did an interview yesterday about pillows, you know? So it seems like, well, what, why would they reach out to a PT about pillows? You know, but it's nice that they are reaching out to PTs about things like that. And things about training and things about COVID rehab and, and long haul COVID patients, you know, physical therapists are now being part of that conversation. I'm seeing that more and more from main street, main stream journalists. So I feel like that's a good sign. Speaker 2 (45:12): Yeah, for sure. Speaker 1 (45:14): A good sign, for sure. And, and also showing that journalists are open to hearing from different groups. So I always say to physical therapists like contact your local newspaper, if you live. And, you know, I'm from a small town in Pennsylvania contact that local newspaper asked to write an article, ask to, you know, be a contributor, get onto your local news stations find, cause that's, that's the way the general public finds out, you know, on social media, there are some people like yourself and others that have great social media followings and are putting out great content designed for the consumer. But a lot of physical therapists on social media, probably myself included do social media posts for other therapists. So it's a little different, right. Speaker 2 (46:01): Yeah. And I think that's okay. And I think it's Speaker 1 (46:03): Okay. Yeah. But I think we, it could be broader. Speaker 2 (46:07): Yeah. I just, I think that when I work with folks and I, I'm not alone here, but when people start getting a lens into my thoughts on a particular situation, if they're like, Hey, I have some calf pain, they call me on the phone. They're like, they may be an athlete. And they're like, Hey, I have some calf pain, but a great example. This guy reached out to me the other day. And he was dealing with what he was told was an Achilles tendinopathy. And he was under the care of a physician and other rehab professional outside of the profession and I'll leave it at that. And when he came to see me, his primary complaint was he was starting to lose coordination in his left, lower extremity on the run. And he started to feel more disjointed on the bike. This isn't an Achilles tendinopathy. Speaker 2 (46:54): He may have symptoms that, you know, that are consistent, but that's not what's driving. So, you know, you start to think of, okay, well what could this be? You know, is there something going on maybe like from a differential diagnosis, you're starting to run through like, Hey, is he's telling you this, like okay, is this unilateral? Is that bilateral? You know, is there any loss of sensation, strength, power you know, is this, like if we just start asking a different set of questions, you know, could this be a runner's dystonia? Could it be something like multiple sclerosis, it could be ALS. So you have to, when someone says, Hey, I have this complaint, we're asking in terms of what's running through our mind and the questions we ask, they're very different. So I'm going to start challenging him from different coordination tasks. Speaker 2 (47:44): I'm going to take them through lower quarter screen. I'm going to get a lens into his running. You know, I'm going to understand how an Achilles tendinopathy would present if he's not having issues doing calf raises. And he's able to sit there and jump in place. I'm like, you're killing is, is pretty, pretty good, man. You know? So for whatever reason, there's this timing issue in his Achilles is probably seeing a different or an unaccustomed rate of loading that, that he's not withstanding from a timing perspective. So, you know, he's someone that probably ultimately needs to consult a neurologist, right? So why is no one told him that for a year? And they're telling him that he needs to do a more aggressive form of scraping and he's a candidate for a PRP, excuse my language, but that. Right. So this is where our role is just so critical because we sit, we spend an hour with people or at least, you know, a lot, and we, we can sit there and troubleshoot with people and really get them into the right hand. Why is no one ever he's like your assessment makes so much sense to me. And so many examples. Yeah, Speaker 1 (48:51): Many, many examples. Well, Chris, this was great. What a good conversation. I think there's a little bit of got a little bit of everything in here, and hopefully we answered a lot of w V a lot of the questions that you get on, on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. So thank you so much now, where can people find you? Speaker 2 (49:11): I can't tell you no, Speaker 1 (49:13): I'm going off social media now. Speaker 2 (49:17): Instagram is good. I'm just at Chris Johnson, the PT, and I'm in the process of revamping my website and that should hopefully be done at some point in the next couple of weeks. And and that's gonna really just, I think, make it easy to understand what some of my offerings are and how to sync up with me. And yeah, for folks, if, if you want to sign up for a crazy newsletter please join my newsletter. It's a little bit of reverence. So I'm preparing it now in, in good ways. So, Speaker 1 (49:49): And how can they sign up for your newsletter? That'll be on the website and Chris Johnson, pt.com or Zara and PT. Speaker 2 (49:56): Chris Johnson, pc.com. Yeah. Going back to my roots, Speaker 1 (50:01): Go keeping it simple. Right? Well, this was wonderful. Last question, knowing where you are now in your life and career, what advice would you give to your younger self now that you're, you're pondering, you're pondering life in your early forties. Speaker 2 (50:18): Oh, stop taking yourself so seriously be present with people, equally people, power, power, your phone off, and and be present with people. And for folks who are who are coming to see you understand that a lot of what brings about changes in what helps people are these non-specific effects, you know, during a clinical interactions. So don't feel like you need to have this gnarly didactic knowledge. That's going to come in time by continuing to read the research, spending time around other mentors or clinicians. You respect taking courses from them. But if you can just be present and engage with someone, take a genuine curiosity in their situation, that's going to do wonders and and yeah, take the pressure off yourself. Speaker 1 (51:07): Excellent advice. Excellent. And I thank you so much again, Chris, for taking the time out. And we will see you in a couple of days next in a week or so for a round table discussion, which I also think will be phenomenal. So thank you so much. Speaker 2 (51:22): Yeah. Thanks again for having me on Karen and keep up the great work. It's fun to, to just sort of follow your, your journey and calling me if I can do anything to support you. Speaker 1 (51:31): Thank you so much. And everyone, thanks so much for listening. Have a great week and stay healthy, wealthy and smart.

Content warning: suicidal ideation and death.Isaac's out for surgery this week (don't worry, he's fine), but we brought in a great friend to sub for him: Chris Hoke, a gang pastor, jail chaplain, and the founder of Underground Ministries. He's also an incredibly engaging writer, and Bryan gives a glowing endorsement for his book “Wanted.” We talk about how Chris learned about the bible and his community in some rough Oakland neighborhoods; going to jail to learn how to read the bible in context; how modern Christianity has largely forgotten the oppressed and marginalized folks that Jesus helped; Carrie fighting the good fight down in Texas; butting up against evangelical hypocrisy; (almost) getting cussed out by a nun; and we get INTO a conversation about the existential morality and theology surround the death penalty and mass incarceration, a conversation that has had renewed fervor after the murders of Brandon Bernard and Alfred Bourgeois.Resources:Chris-hoke.comUnderground MinistriesFacebook: facebook.com/chris.hoke.988Twitter: @ChrisHoker"The Fall of the Prison: Biblical Perspectives on Prison Abolition" by Lee GriffithUntil We Get Canceled is a Crate Original from Crate Media

There are so many things we can learn from hearing the experiences of others. Today’s show is packed full of wisdom from valuable life lessons as a previous guest returns to share more of his story. Join us! Chris Stevenson, former Power Ranger stuntman, is the founder of Stevenson Consulting. Chris’s current focus is helping businesses and entrepreneurs of all types maximize their potential. His expertise stems from his past hands-on experience in all aspects of the health club industry. For almost 20 years, Chris and his team successfully owned and operated Stevenson Fitness, a full-service boutique health club in Southern California. The club’s success was based on providing an unparalleled member experience centered on proper staffing, systematic operations, and world-class leadership. This success was reflected in the club’s NPS, which was consistently in the 90s (the industry average is in the 40s). Chris recently founded Be Military Fit California to bring the world-renowned brand to the US. Be Military Fit is the world leader in military fitness and outdoor training. Chris is an international speaker who regularly presents at IDEA, IHRSA, Club Industry, and other fitness and business events. He sits on the IHRSA board of directors and the Customer Engagement Academy. From health and wellness to business strategies, Chris has the unique ability to connect with people instantaneously and to present viable, applicable lectures that resonate with every audience. Young Chris’s dreams Do you have a dream you’ve chased since childhood? From the time Chris was very young, the field of martial arts has been his passion. He left all other sports behind to focus on his training, and his dream was always to run his own martial arts school. The martial arts belt system taught him to set goals to accomplish his dreams. He learned the value of having a mentor, the value of trust, and how to listen and learn from an instructor. Chris began with Tae Kwon Do and then branched into other martial arts disciplines, and finally into boxing to hone his hand skills. He stayed busy with college classes while teaching martial arts, but pivoted after college to take time to have fun and enjoy life in CA, where he still lives today. Chris lives with no regrets because his choices back then brought him where he is today. TWEET: The choices Chris has made has brought him where he is today. @thechrisstevenson #chasingdreams Controlling your stress response How do you handle stress? Chris explains that some people struggle with mindfulness and mental health because of how our stress response is wired, which is the same way our ancestors responded when they were trying to get food and not be eaten as food. Our minds are automatically wired to defend ourselves, so we instinctively fall into a negative “fight or flight” response to everything. We have to train our brains to respond differently and react more positively. Even the simple act of deep breathing can have a huge effect as we engage our controllable nervous system to offset our natural instincts. TWEET: The simple act of deep breathing can have a huge effect on our mindset. @thechrisstevenson #chasingdreams The best lessons learned What are the best life lessons you’ve learned? Through Chris’s varied experiences, he’s learned many lessons. While running a martial arts studio, he learned that he could accomplish anything he put his mind to if he committed to working hard enough. Another lesson was when he learned not to let other people dictate his emotions and reactions. The important thing is to be aware and flip the reaction so we don’t give other people control. He learned another important lesson about holding grudges. The truth is that grudges only hurt the people who hold them--so, let them go! Another problem is that we encounter more negative influences as we age, and we become conservative and afraid to take chances. We should never lose the excitement of taking a risk. TWEET: Grudges only hurt the people who hold them, so let them go! @thechrisstevenson #chasingdreams ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Crystallize your dreams.

Chris Swenson joins Gordon on the podcast to explain why we shouldn't forget about our inner game in private practice. Our inner game is always happening, and it's continuously turning – it shouldn't be ignored. Chris describes how he found his passions, purpose, and principles by diving deep into mindset and the importance of mental clarity. Then, Chris tells us all about what it means to be a Private Practice Warrior and why a bigger practice isn't necessarily better. Meet Chris Swenson Chris Swenson, LMFT is the author of the recently published book, “Private Practice Warrior.” He is the Owner/Founder/solo-operator of Rhino Wellness Center which is Chris' successful full-time solo practice in rural Colorado. Chris is a true Private Practice Warrior who is currently developing a program called, “Private Practice Warrior – A Powerful Mindset for Ambitious Practice Owners – The “Way” to True Fulfillment in Life and Business. To receive a free pdf copy of “Private Practice Warrior” and a special bonus, click https://rhinomentality.lpages.co/pp-warrior-ebook-pdf-giveaway/ The Inner Game The biggest thing for Chris is that he has learned to never forget about the inner game. It's always going on. Early on in Chris's private practice, he felt like he was like a slave to the practice. It didn't feel like it was his. There was almost this illusion, and he had no sense of fulfillment. But once Chris stepped back identified his purpose, he found his passion and lives by his principles. Plus, he realized the big things he could do each and every day to move the dial, things began to fall more into place, and he began to feel a lot more fulfilled. Even though there are still struggles and challenges, we all have to fly through that turbulence to build a practice. Finding Mental Clarity Chris probably took a different journey than most. He got ingrained within the warrior community and learned about mental toughness and mindset. Chris found his purpose, passion, and identified the principles which he operates by each and every day. Plus, he has daily practices to make sure that he is making the right decision instead of making decisions out of fear. Chris felt an internal struggle. However, once he began daily work and ingraining a new mentality, he feels great. Chris has a lot more confidence and is a lot calmer. Plus, Chris says he has more mental clarity for what he needs for decisions to be made. Boosting Our Mindset People will say to build your practice, scale your practice, expand your stuff, do all of these things, and then you're going to reach that promised land and feel that sense of fulfillment. Chris found that it's an illusion. If you have a bigger practice, you might end up more stressed, more mentally fatigued, and more tired. So, Chris looked at what really makes a successful practice for the long haul. He looked at numbers of failure rates over the years, and he noticed that the failure rate has remained the same even though we've got better technology and we've got a lot more programs. What is the missing variable? It's our inner game. We have to get ourselves to do XYZ every day, and how do we get ourselves to do that? Get yourself, your mindset, mentality, purpose, passion, all these things in line. From there, you can accomplish great things. However, the point of it is not just to create this great business; this great practice, it's about being a better person through doing all of it. Chris is just tired of seeing people struggle and have a hard time not getting that joy and fulfillment from what they're doing. It's not just building the practice. It's becoming a better person through the challenges of building a better practice – which, of course, requires some mental skills, but also just a different mentality on how you look at your practice. Private Practice Warriors Chris initially had the idea for Private Practice Warriors when he started seeing the struggles of private practice owners, he knew he needed to do something. Chris wanted to make a difference and what made a difference was being able to share stories with others. Chris thought about writing his book. He wrote it like a story. You get to follow the main character through their journey. There's a lot of twists and some turns in the book as well. You begin to learn about the identity of being a warrior and identifying your purpose, your passion, never forgetting about the inner game, things like that. So you can take out a lot of those ideas as you learn from the story. Bigger Isn't Necessarily Better What's most important to you? What is the lifestyle that you want to have? What's going to bring you fulfillment? Being a warrior is about wanting to be a better person. It's about the personal growth that develops. It's not only about becoming that way for a better practice but as a better person. There are challenges to grow or to put stuff out into the external world, those difficulties can lift and we can overcome them. As we begin to expand who we are now, we become that better person. Bigger could be better if it fits for you. There's so much potential that a lot of us have as therapists to make a difference. There are times where a lot of great therapists could get a better reach if they were in private practice.

Just when you thought you’ve heard every type of running story, another one surfaces. New and old categories of running seem to continue to appear, as if running itself is doing everything it can to reach all people. If today’s story doesn’t convince you that running is for everyone, (or for every creature for that matter) I’m not sure what will. As you’ve seen, the competitiveness surrounding running is adapting. There will forever be an individualistic aspect of running, as there is no one that can move your legs except you. And fierce competition will always exist at the top level as elite athletes compete for prize money and lucrative brand contracts.  However, for the general masses, we have seen a huge surge of team spirit, curiosity, and sense of community. Multi-day relay races, obstacle course races, and ultramarathon trail races are a few bucket list items that people like you have been adding to your to-do lists. Now you can add one more: Racing with donkeys. Running with a Donkey With no context, you may be a bit bewildered by the concept of doing a 29-mile race with a burro. But after you listen to Chris McDougall talk about his experience of training and running with Sherman, your feelings will go from indifference to interest to inspiration. Chris, author of the best seller “Born to Run,” somewhat stumbled upon burro racing. When his daughter asked for a donkey for her birthday, he all but ignored the request until he heard of a penned-up donkey that was in dire need of rescue. The family decided to take Sherman home and nurse him back to health. What Chris didn’t realize was that not only did his daughter get a birthday present of a lifetime, he got a lifelong running partner. As part of Sherman’s recovery, he needed to get moving. And just at the same time, Chris had started running longer distances. Their training was a natural progression, which eventually led to Chris and Sherman entering a Colorado pack burro race. Western Pack Burro Association For 72 years, Colorado has hosted the 29-mile pack burro race. Competitors run alongside their donkeys over high elevations and treacherous terrain. Oddly enough, with the distance being just over marathon length, it’s one of the oldest races in the states to allow women to compete, beating out the Boston Marathon by a number of years. One of the most fascinating facts about running with a donkey is the strong relationship between burro and racer that is required to perform well. Recently, two of the best trail runners in America were teamed up with some of the fastest donkeys and an expert animal trainer. They trained for a few weeks prior to the annual event, and were promptly annihilated on race day. Both young girls and old men comfortably beat them. What You Learn from Training with a Donkey After training with Sherman for two years, Chris has learned a lot about human-animal relationships, donkey behavior, and life in general. Even after all this time he still admires those experts who have been racing burros for decades, hoping to glean more information that he can apply to his runs. Donkeys are great and difficult running partners for a few reasons. First, they are more closely related to human pace and endurance than any other animal. They aren’t as quick as a horse for example, but their cooling system allows them to run long-distances like humans. Second, donkeys are risk-averse and cautious. Instead of having a fight-or-flight mode, donkey’s freeze when they approach something they are unsure of. This makes them wonderful partners around dangerous mountain paths, but horrible ones when they reach a small puddle on a dirt road. Until they feel sure, they will stay put. Third, donkeys don’t like to follow. Parring this with their freeze tendencies can create quite an issue.  Finally, donkeys have unique personalities. Some are competitive, some are complacent, and all of them like to nibble on various pieces of grass. Training your donkey to race is a lot of more problem-solving than just finding time in the day to do your training and putting in the hours. Slow Down The biggest lesson Chris has learned from running with Sherman? To slow down. When it takes over two hours to do a ten-mile run because your 200-lb buddy suddenly became interested in a small flock of birds, you have to be interested in them too.  Slow down, and enjoy the journey.   Resources: Chris’s Website Pack Burro Racing Running with Sherman Born to Run Natural Born Heroes     Thank you to my wonderful sponsors BodyHealth, Athletic Greens, and Janji for sponsoring this episode of the Running for Real Podcast.

Hybrid construction is a huge growth area with a lot of opportunity for PCB designers. Learn from Chris Hunrath, VP of Technology at Insulectro, as he provides several valuable insights about the latest in hybrid construction trends. Get facts from an expert in material properties and how to use and combine them in the PCB assembly process. Learn more about polyamide film and its properties, how to use the FR4 as glue, and many more ways to make hybrid construction more familiar and approachable. Join us in this week’s OnTrack Podcast where we bring insights from the manufacturing floor to PCB design teams around the world.   Show Highlights: Chris will be a speaker at AltiumLive in October, so be sure not to miss him there, the title of his talk will be announced very shortly Chris sheds more light on the topic of inductance and plane inductance which was recently discussed by Rick Hartley in our Podcast: What to Avoid in 4 and 6-Layer Stack-ups Embedded capacitors: one of the things that you don't get from embedded capacitor material or planner capacitor materials, is high capacitance, so an individual component will give you a relatively high capacitance level There is a capacitance shortage right now too Also, there’s a desire to remove surface capacitors for several reasons. You get rid of the vias, you get rid of the inductance and increase the circuit density Even when capacitance per square inch is small you don't need as high a capacitance, because you're getting rid of a lot of the in-plane inductance and that's exactly what Rick talked about in his podcast Nowadays, with thinner materials, Rick’s recommendation makes sense Polyamide film, typically used for flex circuits can be used in a rigid board because it has a thin dielectric layer and has a very high dialect for standing voltage and you can make it really thin You can build it into a rigid board and get the properties you need to get rid of those capacitors which leads into hybrid construction, how do you process them? The building blocks used to make flex circuits. If you're using an Acrylic which we talked about in a previous podcast laminates its standard FR4 temperatures. True Polyamide films laminate at much higher temperatures like 600° F. You can't expose FR4 to those temperatures so in the case of very high capacitance materials you would use the FR4 as the glue and you would just use the core as its print match it, bond treat it and then build it into your FR4 part You can’t mix B-stages in the same spot when you laminate that all together the FR4 would be broken down Materials on the High Speed Digital side should also have the RF properties and you want to be able to mix those materials so it's becoming very popular Hybrid Constructions - a growth area - it’s become like gourmet cooking - there is new media to work with - a material science based area Components typically added to outside of PCB are now being embedded inside the PCB Solder paste reflow and interconnects can be a downside The new materials allow you to do things you couldn’t do before. Coins can be used to add inductance if you need to just for heat sinking purposes. Bleeding printed electronic technology into PCBs: DuPont have a very interesting liquid polyamide technology that cures at 300° Fahrenheit which is very low and we're exploring the opportunity to use that in lieu of solder mask. It would just be screened on. If someone needs information on Hybrid Constructions or sintering paste, please email Chris.

Welcome back, here we are again with your friend and mine, Chris Hunrath from Insulectro who's going to teach us about paste sintering today, which I don't know much about, but we're going to learn about it together. But before we get started, remember to hit all the typical Altium social media platforms Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter please follow me on LinkedIn and also remember we are recording on YouTube as well as Podbean and we can be found on all your favorite podcast apps. Alright, so today we're going to talk about - I don't even know how to set this up entirely cause I'm just as much as a student. So Chris, welcome back! Thank you again, and I know this isn't a new technology - it's just not one that has crossed my path. So tell us about what paste sintering is and what the applications are, and benefits to our designers that are listening today? Okay, interconnect technology, as you mentioned is not new, what's happened recently though is there's been some new material developments that make it more feasible for the circuit boards. Certainly in ceramic fire technology, metal - powdered metals have been used to make interconnects and traces and circuits on ceramic circuit boards, but those fire at 850-plus degrees Celsius, which would obviously destroy most PCB materials so there's some new technologies out now. There are different kinds of pastes that are used for interconnects. The one that we work with, and the one that we promote, is something from a company called Ormet, and their material is interesting because it sinters at one temperature and then it forms a new alloy with a higher melting point. Okay I feel like we need to back up and explain what paste interconnect technology actually is. Like how it's performed and then we can go into the material science part just so I can keep up, Chris I want to be able to keep up. So multi-layer PCBs - also not new - typically what you do is, you print and edge any number of layers, you drill and then you plate. Typically electroless copper, to make the non-conductive surfaces conductive, and then you build up the thickness with electrolytic copper. Mmm-hm. And some people call it a semi-edited process, because you are using the electroless first as a seed layer. There are some other technologies used to make that dielectric surface conductive, and then you build up with electrolytic copper and so that's how you link the layers of the z-axis. So if you think of a classically - as a circuit board - as a web of foils printed and etched, all your XY  connections, and then the drilled holes - whether they're laser drilled, blind vias, or drilled through holes, the plating links everything in the z-axis. Now one of the challenges when you do that, is you're consuming real estate at all the layers. So let's say you have a 12 layer multi-layer - relatively simple multi-layer by today's standards - but you need to connect layer 1 to layer 10 you've taken up the real estate in all the other layers - you can't route circuits in those places, because there's a via in the way, unless you wanted them to connect to that via and they're part of that net. So there's a term called any layer HDI - I don't know if you're familiar with that term? Basically it means you could put a via anywhere you want in any layer. Nowadays that's done typically by what we call build up technology. So you start with a core of some sort - again it could be double sided, it could be a multi-layer core, and then you sequentially build layers and you only go one layer deep with a laser drill sometimes two - depending on the design - but that's not true for any layer. Anyway, you go one layer deep you plate, you print and etch, and you do it again and again and that allows you to put vias almost anywhere you want in any layer, the downside is, it's almost like building multiple circuit boards. So the cost really starts to increase. And of course you're putting the board through multiple lamination cycles and that has some undesirable material side effects depending on the material. Some materials can withstand three lamination cycles, some six, some ten, but it is hard on the materials to go through that lamination process, over and over again. Right. Especially electric phenolics, which are very common for lead-free assembly, because they're relatively economic and they're also -  they also will survive lead pre-assembly, but they tend to get more brittle every time they see a thermal cycle though, so that causes some issues too. So what paste interconnects allow you to do, is change the sequence in which the vias are formed. So instead of laminating drilling and plating you can actually drill, add the paste, and then laminate, so it changes the build sequence and this is important both for the fabricator and the designer to understand what that means. So typically what you would do is, you would take a B stage layer of some sort; you can either drill it and paste, fill it with what we call a postage stamp process or you could pre-tack it, vacuum tack it at low temperature to a core of some sort, or substrate, laser drill through the B stage, apply the paste and then when you laminate the paste interconnects, the layers in the z-axis - you could literally take a piece of prepreg, laser drill it with a stencil or with a Mylar Stencil, I'll talk about how that works in a little bit - apply the paste, remove the Mylar laminate between two copper foils, and now you've got interconnects inside a double-sided cork. That's cool. So then if you print and etch that, now you've got a core with connections between the layers with no visible vias; they're all internal. Yeah there's some technology around the paste and again we can talk about that, in a little bit. So how is it applied - is it squeegeed in? Yeah. Okay, just like with a silkscreen? Well no screen - so what typically what you do is, you apply a 1 mm Mylar mask to the B stage and you tack it simultaneously. Then when you drill through the Mylar and the prepreg B stage to get down to your copper features, then you apply the paste, and the Mylar's your mask, and then you remove that just prior to lamination. And that stays inside the hole? It doesn't just I don't know the consistency of it. My mind was - pictured it just wanting to drop out of that hole - but it must have some kind of stability? Yeah it's a liquid and there is a tack right. There are a number of ways to do this, but the most common method is to laser drill, apply the paste, dry the paste... you would do it a second time to top it off and then when you remove the Mylar, the liquid paste stays on top of the paste that's already been applied. Then you dry it again, then you go to laminate. Does it air dry or do you have to cure it what do you do? You don't really cure it because it's metal powder - metal powder based - so there isn't really a polymer matrix. Unlike print electronic sinks - which is a again another story - you would just dry off any of the carrier solvent used for the application process. It is a liquid - well it's a paste, not a liquid - but but when you dry off the the solvent that's in it; which is less than 10 percent by weight, then it's just powdered metal and that's how it makes a connection. So think about this right, you've seen a lot of PCB designs - imagine a 32 layer board, which most shops can do, but it's not at the low end of technology. Imagine splitting it up to two 16 layer multi layers right? A lot easier. A lot easier to build and then you just paste them together at the end, and depending on the design, you can electrically test each half and only use the good ones. So your risk is  light. Oh, right. There's a lot of advantages to this. Or what if you want to put together three 16 layer multi layers, or four, or 18 or four 18 layer multi layers - it's been done you know. Now a shop; instead of trying to build a 72 layer multilayer - if they're building 18 layer components - it's a lot more manageable. Hmm, that totally makes sense. So you explained some of the benefits -  it's a nightmare, and you've seen, we've all seen these cross-sections of these crazy stackups with all the sequential LAM and drilling cycles and all of that. And then - and also kind of an unintended consequence you can get, is you can - from a performance standpoint - if you do enough of that right can't you get excess copper on the surface features? Yes - that's a very good point. So in other words, if you're going through many plating cycles depending on how you break that up and you're trying to meet a wrap requirement,  that could definitely add up and make it - make fine line etching more difficult there's a lot of - there are some some drawbacks to traditional processing and then with with an Ormet style process, or a paste interconnect style process, you can eliminate some of those things even with an RF design. Let's say you have very sensitive surface features and you don't want to play with that layer. You might want to put on the surface finish, the nickel gold, but you don't want to put any additional copper - you want just the original foil copper. You could do that with this paste because you could create that as, almost like a double sided board, and then bond it to the rest of the stack up at the very end, and you're done. Interesting. So I think you mentioned too, there's some good signal integrity benefits, did we cover that I don't recall? No, so one of the things that a lot of designs call for is something called back drill. So you're familiar with that, so you do the back drilling to get rid of the unwanted copper. So again, in my earlier example let's say you're connecting layer 1 and 10, and let's just say it's a 22 layer - 26 layer multi-layer. You're going to have a lot of extra copper metal in that via that you really don't need or want. So common technology is to back drill down to layer 10. Now of course drilling to that precise location or depth, to remove the copper up to layer 10, but not beyond. It can cause a reliability concern that's a bit of a challenge. So there's those issues. What you can do with the paste technology is let's just separate that board at layer 10, and not put a via on that half  that goes from layer 11 to whatever the other layer is and you're done. So you can eliminate back drilling and the parasitic effects of having that extra copper and the via so that's another application. So there's some signal integrity benefits, there are some RF applications, there are some high layer cap, multi-layer applications, but also many layer HDI applications; it really depends on how you design it and use the paste. So if you're a designer what kind of design considerations do you need to make up front? Okay, my recommendation would be is: think about the design, think where it would make sense to split up the layers and provide the most design benefit. Generally speaking, we like the via to have a one-to-one or less, aspect ratio. Now that might sound restrictive, but it's only in that one B stage layer. So then that's an important consideration. So in other words, if I have 5 mm of B stage, I won't want my via to be 5 mm or larger where I'm going to apply the paste. It has to do more with the paste physics and how it fills the via and then of course the pad, the receptor pad that you're putting the laser drill via on, needs to be a sufficient size for where the paste doesn't have the opportunity to run on one side or the other of the pad. So we do like an annular ring around the via, that's going to have a lot to do with how well you can register your laser drilling, usually that's pretty good. The other consideration is, the B stage you use, spread glasses - bringing up spread glass again. Spread glass is good, because it tends to keep the paste corralled, whereas if you have an open weave and that prepreg resin's melting and flowing and during the lamination cycle the paste could run to that area. So spread glass is better. Higher viscosity resins tend to be better. We like low flow prepregs. So those are some of the design considerations. Another design consideration is - and I've seen this happen before - where if you have a ground area and you're making a lot of paste interconnects along a wide track. You don't want to put the paste interconnect to the edge of the track because what ends up happening is, during lamination, the resin wants to flow off the surface of the track down the sides to fill - hydraulic effect, and it's going to move the paste with it. I've seen vias actually move during lamination. So just some common-sense things. Keeping in mind that it's the B stage where your interconnect is. You want to make sure you put that in some good locations, and in that particular case all they had to do is, go back and shift the vias a little bit to one side and then everything was fine. So it's just those kinds of things. Certainly they could contact us, we can give them some design hints and I can give you some literature to go along with this video or podcast. Yeah, yeah, very good. Ormet and the paste interconnect - paste sintering - has been around for a little while. What's been the sort of acceptance of it industry-wide? Is it being widely accepted, is it just on certain applications? It's been around a long time. It was primarily used for quick-turn mic review work, and also large format boards where you're literally stitching very large boards together so you can - again the idea is you can make boards that are nearly finished and then electrically interconnect them. The nice thing about the Ormet paste is it doesn't melt at reflow assembly. Hmm, so it changes chemically right, so once the sintering is done then it doesn't change, then it doesn't morph and heat? What attracted us to this technology over some other paste interconnects - because there's other processes where you would apply a paste of some sort and then make a connection with pressure in the z-axis - but what interested us in the Ormet material is: the paste melts at one temperature and alloys - so the paste is basically copper particles with a tin alloy powder. When the tin alloy powder melts - and the melting starts at about 130° Celsius, it starts reacting with the copper and forms an alloy with the copper instead. What's interesting about the Ormet material is, it's alloying with the inner layer coppers as well, on the PCB layers. So we have a metallurgical joint, not just a pressure or contact connection. So it's - and unlike, the tin lead or lead-free alloys and solder, the melt - the new melting point, when it forms an alloy with copper is one phase is 415°, the other is 630° Celsius. So it's not going to remelt that assembly. So it's a permanent connection, so really the paste applications from other technologies like flip chip and whatnot packages where you didn't want to have a secondary or - if you have a secondary reflow operation - you didn't want to have any more remelt. It has some applications there. Or a down hole assembly is another application where the board might be subjected to the temperatures near the solder melting point is another good application for this material. So that's what interests us because you know when a board's in use, it heats up the z-axis expansion with other types of pastes interconnects, you have a resistance change every time the board is heated even from, let's say 40, 50, 60° Celsius in normal use, not even in any kind of environment - parts of the board would heat up from the components and you'd have a change in resistance, and that's what this is designed to circumvent because it forms that metallurgical bond with the copper inner layers. Interesting. So yeah it's a different technology than the paste you would use in printed electronics. Okay well that's been fascinating. Again I feel like a newcomer to old technology but - and I've known about Ormet that I think got acquired by Merck now, but I've just never had someone sit down and explain it to me. So thank you for doing that. 90 layer multi layers people are getting - 90... What! Yes, 90 layer multi layers with paste interconnects yeah. That's crazy, I didn't even know a 90 layer board existed I guess. Yeah I've only really seen them into the 60s I guess personally, so. Yeah you know, one common design was a 72 layer multi-layer, again made out of eighteen layer components, and  one of the things with the chip tests the ATE companies, they built some high layer count multi layers and you need a lot of IOs, there's a trend to go to wafer level testing were you’re testing the entire wafer. You need lots of interconnects and that's one way to get there, is to use the Ormet paste to put in lots of layers. So we're seeing more interest in it lately, and I think that's one of the reasons why the technology hasn't taken off until now, is because there just wasn't the demand. Right ahead of its time maybe a little bit... Yeah. Well, I know you've shared with me some cross-sections or I think you did, and so please be sure to share those with us and we'll put those up on our website and we can share your website and Ormet or Mark's website, so the designers can get more information. Is there any place else besides your two websites that you would recommend for more information? You know I've mentioned HDPUG (High Density Packaging Users Group) in the past - they're actually contracting some PCB manufacturers to make some HDI test vehicles with paste interconnects. So there's going to be some data - anybody who's an HDPUG member will have some access to some really good reliability data and they're pretty complex boards so it'll really push the technology but for breaking up big thick and ugly PCBs, that's pretty well-established. Yeah very cool. Okay well thank you. So tell us about that fish on the wall behind you? [laughter] So it was a gift from my sister, actually it's made from recycled materials so there's an old PCB cut up on there, and the old spark plug wire, and a few other odds and ends. Some artists put together actually I didn't buy it; my sister bought it on Catalina Island and somehow we went out there as a family trip and somehow she smuggled it off the island and gave it to me just before she headed back to Virginia. So it was kind of cool. Oh that's fun a good throwback to your diver self. Yeah so - just the last thing on Ormet, is 'paste don't plate'. [laughter]. Is that their tagline or is that yours? Actually that's their tagline. We were sharing it with the IPC shows, but another nice benefit to the Ormet - which I didn't mention earlier is - there's no electrolysis, no plating processes in these interconnect layers so it circumvents all that. Which is like bizarre for me to think about but... Yeah but if you're capacity constrained, no plating, that's another benefit. Well thanks again this has been really good. If you have anything else juicy to share with the listeners just email it over before we get this one up. Okay. And thanks again for this one. Now I know we've talked about exploring down the road a little bit on copper foil, integrity issues, and also printed electronics. So I'm sure I'll hit you up again soon Chris. Yeah definitely. I would like to talk about some of the material science behind printed electronics and I know you guys are working on some new design tools and print electronics; there are a lot of different ways to use that in electronics... I should back up, but there's a lot of different ways to use conductive inks in electronics there are so many different versions of the inks. Which is another subject I know nothing about so it'll be good. I'll be a student with our listeners and, I know they're out there, I know what conductive inks are, but as far as all the applications, all the different materials available, that just seems like something that's in writing a lot, that people are really turning towards a solution. Lots of new technologies are coming out in that space and it's going to be fun to watch it all. Yeah yeah it will be. Okay Chris, thanks for another good podcast and we'll see you soon.

By accident, Chris Holder blended QiGong and Chinese medicine and realized that it has a great amount of efficacy for very ill people. Chris started exploring the possibility of using the same protocol for athletes at Cal Poly Pomona University, San Luis Obispo who might just need a “tune up”, and they saw great results. They started to see athletes getting stronger and faster. Bring inflammation down. Clearing their mind. Sleeping better. Having a peace of mind, and being prepared to perform. Qigong is still fairly taboo, so other universities are not picking up on it yet, and seeking Chris to expand his program into other universities.   What is Qigong? Traditional Chinese medicine revolves around 4 main pillars: Qigong Acupuncture Herbs Massage   Qigong is the mother of acupuncture. Everything that goes on in acupuncture (meridians, vibrating energy, movement, chi movement, breath, etc.), happens in Qigong but without the needles. It helps you move through the energy through a series of physical exercises and breathing control. You learn to control your energy. It does a woo-woo feel to it, and most of the information you find on it online has cosmic type costumes and backgrounds. Chris’ goal is to normalize it as much as possible, it doesn’t have to have that “weird” look and make it look as comfortable as possible. When you take your first breath as a newborn, and you take in the energy of the room with that. So your line beings to move around. When it moves too far to the side, that’s when you see illnesses. Qigong helps realign that line down the middle of the body, and this is where people will feel their best.       Who are you treating with Qigong? Chris does no advertising or marketing. He became a Taoist priest and sent it out to the divine that he is here to help those that need and want to be helped. He sees a lot of people who are getting their funeral arrangements together. People who are dying of cancer and other types of diseases. For a period of time, all he would see is women who had been abused. It’s the Universe responding. He sees people who usually cannot get a solution through Western processes. Chris shares amazing stories of how Qigong has changed and saved many lives.   A very interesting episode!   FSLModern is now sponsored by Marriage OS.
