In Episode 115, your host Rob Booker is joined by “The Coach” — Scott Welsh, co-creator of the Bossilator course and a peak-performance instructor who resides in Columbus, Ohio. Rob and Scott talk about being under-the-weather and instances of rising to the occasion, refusing to be sick and pushing through whatever needs to be done. This leads to the recounting of the story when Michael Jordan played in the NBA finals with the flu. Scott talks about the importance of becoming mentally strong and this segues into a conversation about the benefits of private coaching. Rob and Scott also take some time to discuss some of the most influential, must-read trading books.
