Coming at you live! We recorded episode 29 in San Antonio, TX on the eve of our maiden N=1 Exposure experience. Brian and I actually get to record a conversation live in the same room which made for fun dynamics!

We cover some of the unique ideas we’ll be exploring in the new event and how the N=1 is the culmination of so much of the work we do.

In Episode 28 we cover the dual posts Brian and I put on Instagram regarding proper breath mechanics. We go pretty deep into our stance around the myth of teaching “diaphragmatic breathing” as well as the importance of language around cuing movement behavior.

In this discussion, we get pretty nerdy talking about the homunculus in the brain, the reality of ventilation in the human body, and the evolution of our own understanding as it relates to how to best communicate these important points altogether!

Episode 27 starts with some chit-chat on traditional archery and our friend and previous guest Jeff Hairston. We mull over one of our favorite authors E.O. Wilson and some of his work too.

Later in the show, we discuss the cultural consequences of technology and the double-edged blade of everybody having a microphone.

In episode 26 of SH//FT Perspective, we go deep into training philosophy. BMack and I talk about the mistake of specialization in training and how bouncing back and forth between extremes can result in more long-term problems.

We do wander off a bit into our current reading lists and the place of fiction vs. non-fiction as well as how Brian prefers the “get to the point” Clif Notes version of things. Somehow that loops around to J. Krishnamurthi and the need for human connection.

In episode 25 Brian and I chat on how bad I am at sending calendar invites and talk about how you can’t think your way out of physiology no matter how smart you are. We also get into the value of having a practice mindset and how this can help us develop an intimate relationship with our own bodies.
