Show Notes

Former Ukonom Hotshot turned Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Anthony Harrell stops by to talk about preseason fitness, quarantine mental health, and staying somewhat sane during COVID-19...

Dr. Harrell has a physical therapy practice based in California and graduated from the University of California, San Francisco - During his time there he studied the effects of cross training on injury risk reduction and performance variables on wildland firefighters...

More recently, he used his experiences from wildland firefighting and physiotherapy to cofound "The Human Resilience Project" - A platform where people can become their most resilient self and achieve their full capacity with whatever they pursue! He is really into the idea of tribalism in societies, so he decided to empower his tribe with the Human Resilience Project!

"At The Human Resilience Project, we focus on using educational content to empower every person who wants to create a better future themselves. It matters less of where you started versus what you are doing now to be better tomorrow."
