In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Grant Elliott, aka RehabFix, to dive deep into something every entrepreneur battles at some point: back and neck pain. As someone who’s dealt with a ruptured C5-C6 and L5-S1, I wanted answers—and Grant delivered. We talked about how movement, not surgery or rest, is often the real cure. He broke down why those “random” injuries (like mine from rolling in bed or standing up on a plane) actually aren’t random at all, and how small daily habits stack up to chronic pain. If you’re an entrepreneur who travels, sits too much, skips workouts, or just wants to future-proof your spine, this one is a must-listen.
