The Ready State Podcast

Welcome to The Ready State Podcast, where unlocking human potential is not a goal, but a way of life. Where becoming the healthiest and most resilient version of yourself, both physically and mentally, is not just something you work toward… but a power mindset you embody day in and day out. Turning complex topics into instantly applicable lessons, this show is a compass for those seeking excellence in every facet of life – physical health, athletic performance, work, purpose, creativity, and family life. Dr. Kelly and Juliet Starrett, the New York Times bestselling authors of ‘Built To Move’, help listeners achieve this by sitting down with some of the world’s most influential figures in health, wellness, fitness, business, and art. Every episode is infused with Dr. Kelly’s wisdom from 10+ years of training and coaching elite athletes in the NFL, MLB, the Olympics, and more. His expertise is perfectly complemented by Juliet’s profound insights as a three-time world champion paddler, CEO & Founder of two world-renowned fitness companies, and overall life enthusiast. There’s a reason they’re called a power duo.
