What happens when you refuse to stop asking questions?

In Episode 491 of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Steven Copobianco—better known to many as "Capo"—to explore a career that has been defined by curiosity, continuous learning, and a relentless desire to better serve people.

Steve is a clinician, educator, innovator, and co-founder of RockTape. A graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic West with a Diplomate in Rehabilitation and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist designation, he has spent more than two decades teaching clinicians around the world to think differently about movement, rehabilitation, and performance.

But this conversation goes far beyond credentials.

We trace Steve's journey from growing up on a farm near Barrie, Ontario, to his love of hockey and the Boston Bruins, through York University, Florida, Palmer West, and eventually to building one of the most recognizable education companies in rehabilitation.

Along the way, we discuss the value of observation, why you don't need to be an expert in every sport to understand movement, how working with individuals with cerebral palsy changed the trajectory of his career, and why the best clinicians eventually stop treating body parts and start seeing the person in front of them.

We also talk about entrepreneurship, fatherhood, community, and how success often comes from being willing to leave the comfort of what you know in pursuit of what you might become.

If you're a clinician, coach, therapist, or simply someone who believes that growth begins with curiosity, you'll find plenty to take away from this conversation.

Enjoy Episode 491 with Steven Copobianco.

What does it take to spend more than two decades at one of the world's most respected performance organizations and continue to evolve?

In this episode of the Leave Your Mark Podcast, we sit down with Eric Dannenberg, a Performance Learning & Development Coach at Exos whose career has taken him from intern to coaching elite athletes in the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, UFC, and action sports before ultimately stepping into the role of developing coaches around the world.

But this conversation isn't about sets, reps, or exercise selection.

It's about becoming the kind of coach people trust.

Eric shares the experiences that shaped his philosophy of service, the mentors who influenced his growth, and how he learned to balance established systems with his own authentic coaching style. We discuss leadership, communication, athlete buy-in, coaching education, mentorship, and why curiosity has become one of the greatest performance tools of all.

We also explore one of the greatest challenges facing coaches today: helping people move from simply delivering information to creating meaningful impact.

Toward the end of the conversation, we dive into the importance of maintaining balance, cultivating interests outside of coaching, and why taking care of yourself ultimately allows you to better serve others.

If you're a coach, therapist, trainer, educator, or leader who wants to make a greater impact on the people you serve, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and honest reflections from someone who has spent over 20 years living the profession.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Eric's journey from aspiring soccer player to Exos leader
• Learning through mentorship and real-world experience
• Coaching within a system while developing your own voice
• Building trust and athlete buy-in
• Teaching the next generation of coaches
• Leadership, communication, and presence
• Motivational interviewing and creating engagement
• Balancing ambition with personal fulfillment
• Why service remains the foundation of great coaching

Enjoy the conversation.

What shapes a world-leading scientist?

Is it intelligence?
Great mentors?
Opportunity?
Or simply an insatiable curiosity that never stops asking why?

In Episode 489 of the Leave Your Mark Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Keith Baar, one of the world's most respected molecular exercise physiologists, whose work has transformed our understanding of muscle growth, tendon adaptation, rehabilitation, and human performance.

As Professor of Molecular Exercise Physiology at UC Davis—and soon to begin the next chapter of his career at McMaster University—Keith has spent decades translating molecular biology into practical strategies for clinicians, therapists, coaches, and elite sporting organizations worldwide.

But this conversation isn't about signalling pathways or collagen synthesis.

It's about the journey that created the scientist.

We explore the mentors who shaped him, why curiosity has always driven his career, how his relationship with his wife Barb influenced many of life's biggest decisions, and the leadership philosophy that built one of the world's most respected research laboratories around the simple idea of conducting world-class science in a family environment.

Along the way, we discuss why science should never be about proving yourself right, how diverse experiences lead to better discoveries, the challenges facing research today, and why asking better questions is often more important than finding quick answers.

Of course, we couldn't resist diving into some of Keith's latest work on tendon adaptation, including the exciting potential of low-load, long-duration isometrics (3LD) and what his research may mean for rehabilitation and performance practitioners everywhere.

This is an episode about science.

But even more, it's an episode about the people behind the science.

I think you're going to enjoy this one.
