Our special guest feature with Chad Burnham discusses in great detail the pinch-point we often see for Physios here and the current model that has frequently been absent of the training element with rehabilitated clients. Chad discusses the issues around insurance and approach which can often hold many physios back from making a transition to this functional and holistic model of practice. Giving them more time with clients, and greater retention of clients while clients successfully rehabilitate their injury and gain strength back in their training.

Extremely informative, and equally hilarious. Ben and Mircea combine minds to discuss performance-enhancing routes, stigmas, and their origins and why breaking down the barrier of understanding something as essential as TRT for men's health not just performance is important.
A very insightful episode, It was a pleasure to have Mircea from Evil Genius take the time to chat and share his mind with us. We hope for another in the future.

Between the laughs, banter, and distance across the pond, both Ben and Aram have one common trait in the way they approach coaching... leave someone better than when they found you. To leave a lasting imprint of change, education, and providing tools that are accessible not just while the client is with you, but long after they have succeeded at their goal or time with you is more important than retaining a client to make your bills each month. The ethics for why one coaches should be done with the same mission to implement change as when you first started, not dictated by how many K you reach per month onboarding more and more leads to line your pockets.
Ethics, principles, and basics of human behaviour change... could mean someone's time on this planet is made easier and longer from having met you. Isnt that the most rewarding outcome you could ask for in a coach?
