Episode 141 -- Panel Discussion 3 — Put Your Ego In Your Back Pocket

These guests for this panel have all been on the podcast and you’ll want to hear their stories. A theme that rang through this conversation is that within this sport you face the fight or flight instincts and face your fears— when you see you can push through and the techniques kick in, you develop. Everyone has their own journey.
