I love getting to highlight peoples' stories on the podcast...

But I love sharing lessons learned from them even more!

Recently I facilitated a panel discussion on injury prevention at my alma mater, BYU

We talked about injury prevention techniques

We talked about how WORLD CLASS ATHLETES and collegiate musicians have more in common than you think

And how gratitude may just change the trajectory of your life as a musician

Keep on keepin' on!

I am so indebted and grateful for the following individuals:
