27 - Give more. Do more. Learn more. w/ Dr. Graig Shapiro

Dr. Graig Shapiro runs a chiropractic and rehabilitation clinic in Amherst, NY... but his practice is so much more than that. Graig is a big proponent of DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) in treatment and training. I have come to love DNS in my own training and hope to continue education on it.  Graig is also an educator and hopes to continue serving people through educating trainers, who can share these concepts with clients.  Book an appointment with one of the folks at OPC today.  Enjoy the conversation and start thinking about what your body needs from you. @opc_buffalo www.opcbuffalo.com

24 - Quality In All You Do w/ Travis Carlson

Today I sat down with writer and film maker, Travis Carlson, of Pan-Am Film Division. I have always been fascinated with the mystery of the behind-the-scenes in film making and really in video/photography in general. It was awesome to har about some of that in our conversation. Some value adds: Travis explained how quality can be found in anything that you do, from the products your company sells, to interactions with people in your daily life. He also expressed the importance of team work in growth and execution. So many valuable business lessons in this conversation!  I am so stoked that he also brought some camera equipment to film our first video episode, which we will use to bring some content and marketing around the pod. Thank you for that, Travis!  Check out his (and his team) work at www.panamericanfilms.com [http://www.panamericanfilms.com]  @pan.am.films on Instagram Follow us as we continue our Pursuit of Quality, bringing business insights and values from some of the coolest owners, founders, and creatives in our beautiful city of Buffalo, NY.  Enjoy!
