Desperate for relief, or even an answer, he turned to multiple medical professionals, both mainstream and alternative, to no avail. He deteriorated to the point where he had to use a voice dictation software because he couldn't type more than a couple sentences without massive pain. His anxiety about his ability to support his family escalated to panic. Talor refused to give up, he came to the all-important realization that INflammation comes from INside of you. He had an epiphany. He started to change what he put IN his body and mind instead of treating it from the outside. This new understanding began to change everything. He returned from his quest, victorious, having been led to the solutions he had all along been seeking. How he successfully put out the fire of pain and inflammation is why he created Peak Performance. He now has a new quest: to help others transform their health and life in the same way he did.

So whats the podcast about?
A series of conversations and view points on how to communicate, build relationships and grow loyalty from the widest range of guests you could imagine.
I will be searching the widest extremes to speak to people that have made a life from their ability to communicate or without that ability they would simply not be able to do what they have!
Why should you listen?
Because the art of communication and building relationships is still not available on the app store!
