20: Logan Gelbrich – Awareness & Vulnerability on a path to Hold the Standard




The Sisu Way  show

Summary: <br> Before recording this episode with world-class human <a href="https://www.instagram.com/functionalcoach/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Logan Gelbrich</a>, Dr. Cara Miller had some advice for me. She said, “Hold him steady with love – Push him deep with humility – and be willing to go there with him courageously.” <br> This episode is a journey into the man, not just the entrepreneur/coach.  We learn how awareness is a good and bad thing, what the cost of seeking adversity is, and that strengths have shadows.  Most people think the ability to endure is a good thing, but what are the consequences of that?  Can you choose your way to happiness?<br> There is something about Logan that makes us want to get better.  He is someone I admire as a friend and revere as a leader. On the inside he is an intuitive and introspective soul with deep and complex thoughts.  On the outside he is a world renowned leader who is pushing us to “hold the responsibility of the space between your reality and the standard and that never ending pursuit of it.”<br> It is my humble honor to present this deeply personal interview with my friend, Logan,  with love and respect.<br> Strength is a Choice,<br> Scott McGee<br> Show Notes:<br> Antonio Machado said: Traveler, there is no path.
