Leave Your Mark
The Leave Your Mark Podcast is where high performance meets human stories. Each week, we go beyond résumés and highlight reels to explore how extraordinary people—high achievers who are also genuinely good humans—have been shaped by their environments, experiences, and the people around them.
More importantly, we uncover how they are leaving their mark on the world.
Step inside the minds and lives of remarkable individuals from sport, business, arts, and beyond—and walk away inspired to leave your own mark.
Your host, Scott Livingston, has spent over 35 years in the world of human performance. He’s trained, reconditioned, and supported some of the best athletes on the planet, working inside elite performance environments and learning firsthand what it takes to be the best in the world.
