This episode reflects on Tyson's powerful journey, drawing parallels with our struggles as we navigate aging and identity. We explore the poignant metaphor of losing ferocity but gaining consciousness, and how Tyson’s past, like his tender care for birds, might have shaped him differently. Hear how this evolution resonates with our own experiences and the changes we see in ourselves over time.

Remember those carefree days when learning new dance moves was all about fun and self-expression? Now that we're older, the focus often shifts from physical feats to nurturing our mental growth.

You’ll find stories from professional athletes that underscore the importance of keeping our bodies functional for the essential joys of life.
