In today’s episode, Smitty and OB kick off the podcast by chatting about this past weekend’s CPPS certification and the life lessons that can be learned by committing to real world education. The next topic is how social media can affect, not only your physical and mental health, but also the quality and effectiveness of your training programs.Keeping with the theme of the Ronin Book Club, Smitty and OB then toss around some thoughts on the latest readings of “New Man Emerging.” Specifically – living a life that “Sets Your Soul on Fire.” Finally, in a continuing effort to stay committed to self-mastery, Smitty and OB read each others results from the personality trait test known as the “Rheti Test” (Learning your Enneagram type).
