Running A Business Like A Pro Athlete with Dr. Sean Drake

from Age Defiantly with Mark Young

For millennia, athletes have been looking for ways to recover faster, push harder, and squeeze every drop out of the body. In the 21st century, it turns out the same tools that built champions can build a better CEO. Dr. Sean Drake is a chiropractor, sports medicine specialist, and founder of Modern Athlete in Scottsdale, Arizona. He's worked the sidelines of the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, the X Games, and the Olympics. The way he sees it, the tools that work for elite athletes work just as well for anyone serious about performing and aging well. Recorded at the Changing Life and Destiny conference, Sean gives us the same tip he gives every CEO he works with. Your business, and life as a whole, is a sport. And if you're not training for it like a professional athlete, you're going to crash and burn.
