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.

Coaching Coaches, Leading with Service, and Building a Life Beyond Performance with Eric Dannenberg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it take to spend more than two decades at one of the world's most respected performance organizations and continue to evolve?
In this episode of the Leave Your Mark Podcast, we sit down with Eric Dannenberg, a Performance Learning & Development Coach at Exos whose career has taken him from intern to coaching elite athletes in the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, UFC, and action sports before ultimately stepping into the role of developing coaches around the world.
But this conversation isn't about sets, reps, or exercise selection.
It's about becoming the kind of coach people trust.
Eric shares the experiences that shaped his philosophy of service, the mentors who influenced his growth, and how he learned to balance established systems with his own authentic coaching style. We discuss leadership, communication, athlete buy-in, coaching education, mentorship, and why curiosity has become one of the greatest performance tools of all.
We also explore one of the greatest challenges facing coaches today: helping people move from simply delivering information to creating meaningful impact.
Toward the end of the conversation, we dive into the importance of maintaining balance, cultivating interests outside of coaching, and why taking care of yourself ultimately allows you to better serve others.
If you're a coach, therapist, trainer, educator, or leader who wants to make a greater impact on the people you serve, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and honest reflections from someone who has spent over 20 years living the profession.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Eric's journey from aspiring soccer player to Exos leader
• Learning through mentorship and real-world experience
• Coaching within a system while developing your own voice
• Building trust and athlete buy-in
• Teaching the next generation of coaches
• Leadership, communication, and presence
• Motivational interviewing and creating engagement
• Balancing ambition with personal fulfillment
• Why service remains the foundation of great coaching
Enjoy the conversation.
