Jason Ralya is a strength and conditioning coach who works with athletes in a variety of different sports.

On this first episode, I go into the topic of productivity. We all struggle to cultivate willpower and motivation to accomplish what needs to be done. But by taking less time focusing on doing, can we actually be more productive?
Invest in yourself to get a return from others and live a life rich of meaning.
