We have helped improve the performance of professional athletes on the world’s biggest stages, trained dozens of actors for the physical and aesthetic demands of blockbuster feature films, prepared some of the most elite warfighters for the grueling selections, and even increased the profitability of billion dollar companies by asking and solving this one question: “what could you do if you just felt better?”
