If someone's listening and they want to play with their kids, but their lower back's killing them and they don't have the energy because they're not eating great, the whole point is to unlock so that people can live. And when you have less limitation and you have more ability to dream and pursue and go after purpose.

So for me, that informs everything.

Michael Gervais (0:32)

Okay, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais, and by trade and training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist, fortunate enough to work behind the scenes with some of the top performers across the planet. And the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from extraordinary people, to pull back the curtain, to explore how they've committed themselves to both mastering their craft and their minds.

And our minds are our greatest asset. And if you want to learn more about how you can train your mind, this is just a quick little reminder right here to check out the online psychological training course that I've created with the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll, at findingmastery.net forward slash course.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bubbs Naturals. Like many of you, I'm mindful about what I put in my body. For me, it usually comes down to ingredients and simplicity. The shorter the list, the better. And if I have to look it up, I'm usually out. That's why I've been loving Bubbs Naturals. Bubbs creates products with high quality, all natural ingredients designed to help people get after their adventures in life. I've been a huge fan of their hydrate or dye electrolyte mix for years now. It only has six total ingredients, but it's packed with five times the electrolytes as conventional sports drinks, with none of the added sugars, artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. It's great for post-workout recovery, outdoor adventures, and staying hydrated during long periods of travel, which I've done a lot of lately, and Bubbs is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubbs products are 100% NSF for sport certified, which means they pass the most rigorous quality standards. They're currently in just about every MLB locker room, working closely with the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and more, of course. I'd love for you to go and check them out.
