Get Thrashed - Get Better
My buddy Jason took me surfing yesterday at Playa Hermosa. He gave me the necessary fundamentals and threw me to the wolves. The result - I got absolutely thrashed by the ocean. I am stubborn as shit so I stayed out there until my arms couldn’t move anymore and in that time I pretty much only caught three waves. But when I paddled my little face off and felt the wave crash behind me I felt the possibilities. I could feel what it was like to harness that power and in that instant I got crushed.

Showing Up Isn't Enough
The number one rule of fitness is show up - maybe that's because it makes fitness professionals and the gym industry money and sometimes lots of it. Or maybe not in Gold's and 24's case. They just want to get you on autodraft.
Full Circle
Today I made the decision that after I graduate from UT I will not pursue an academic or university based position. I will continue to work in the private sector and just devote more time to the business of building health one client at a time. Some might ask what will you really be able to do with only a PhD and not an M.D? And to that I would respond – everything except hand out prescriptions – which I wouldn’t do anyways.
