Leave Your Mark
The Leave Your Mark Podcast is where high performance meets human stories. Each week, we go beyond résumés and highlight reels to explore how extraordinary people—high achievers who are also genuinely good humans—have been shaped by their environments, experiences, and the people around them. More importantly, we uncover how they are leaving their mark on the world. Step inside the minds and lives of remarkable individuals from sport, business, arts, and beyond—and walk away inspired to leave your own mark. Your host, Scott Livingston, has spent over 35 years in the world of human performance. He’s trained, reconditioned, and supported some of the best athletes on the planet, working inside elite performance environments and learning firsthand what it takes to be the best in the world.

Over the past few years, something has been shifting.
Not all at once. Not loudly. But steadily enough that it became impossible to ignore.
In this solo episode, I share a more personal reflection on where I’ve been, what I’ve been feeling, and the decision to step into a new chapter of life and work. It’s a conversation about isolation, purpose, and the tension between building something meaningful and feeling connec...

Nine years ago this April 3rd, I pressed record on my first podcast episode.
At the time, I had no idea it would become one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
Sometime this year, I’ll cross the milestone of 500 conversations with people from all walks of life: athletes, coaches, leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers.
What I’ve discovered through those conversations surprised me.
Most people didn’t have a perf...

This week, I want to explore a simple idea that sits underneath almost everything we do in movement, rehab, performance, and learning:
The body can’t access what it doesn’t know.
The nervous system won’t use what it doesn’t recognize as available, safe, or trustworthy. And when pain, injury, fear, or perceived threat enters the picture, entire movement strategies can quietly disappear—not because the body is broken, b...
