001: How This Podcast Will Optimize Your Life & Who I am

Discover the behind-the-scenes roller coaster of success and failure of a professional athlete, NCAA national champion, university valedictorian, engineer, and voracious learner. From being the last cut from every minor hockey team to playing in NHL organizations, overcoming OCD and anxiety to becoming a university valedictorian, and losing everything to achieving peak health, happiness, and performance, I have learned many valuable lessons first hand that I want to share with the world.

The origins of Learn II Perform started in March of 2020 at the outset of the coronavirus pandemic. I had no job, no prospects, and $70k of debt. My 20-year hockey career had abruptly ended. I was stuck in my parent’s basement at 26 years old. And to top it all off, I was infected with COVID-19 at the peak of the panic and uncertainty. Looking back, I believe it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
