In this episode, Jeff sits down with BPN athlete Luke Hopkins: USC neuroscience grad, Ironman, and one of the toughest 23-year-olds he knows. They talk about going back to therapy after a broken ankle, feeling bad for feeling bad, why your brain quits before your body does, and why honesty isn't oversharing.
