Don Greene Teaches Us Jedi Mind Control [PSP 40]

This is the Per Service Podcast-  a shamelessly self-help show, thinly veiled behind the guise of the working class classical musician shop talk.

We’re more about Growth than Gofriller,

more self-care than first-chair

more positivity than exclusivity     

more resiliency than Salieri

You can learn more about us here

And today…… oh boy, do we have a show for you. We are joined by one of the leading peak performance coaches in the world-Dr. Don Greene
