Inspiring stories, unconventional approaches, and incredible journeys—told by those who lived it.
Welcome to the “Up and In” show with Anthony Ranaudo and Jared Mitchell—two former teammates and professional athletes—where we sit down for fire-side-style conversation with individuals at the top of their game. In candid, informative discussion, we get “up and in” the minds of those elite to their craft and work to understand just what it is that has helped them meet their success.
Competing at the highest level, training and nutrition, all the way to entrepreneurship and philanthropy, are some of the topics we will discuss but our guests will always define the narrative. Through in-depth conversation, we will find out why, and what, each guest is doing to succeed, as well as identifying the roles mental training and functional psychology have played in their lives- on and off the fields or courts.
Join the conversation and listen as we learn.
