Welcome guys and gals of the Manteauks show. I'm Connor Beaton, the host and founder of

Man Talks. This podcast brings together some of the best thought leaders, teachers, and

extraordinary individuals

to help teach and mentor you on how to be a top performer in life, love, and business.

Joining me today is Dr. Pat Davidson, PhD. He is an exercise physiologist, strength and conditioning

coach, author, consultant, and traveling lecturer.

Pat started out in the fitness world as an athlete who was looking to find any training and

nutritional tool possible to make him the best he could possibly be in sports.

This passion for training knowledge ultimately led him to pursuing a master's degree in science

in strength and conditioning specifically and a PhD in exercise physiology, which I didn't even

know was a real thing until him and I talked about it before this episode. So he's actually worked

as a professor of exercise science at Springfield College and Brooklyn

College, along with being the director of continuing education and training methodology

at peak performance in New York City. Now, Pat was actually referred to me as a through,

through a friend who had worked with Pat and still does work with Pat

over the past year or so. And through working with Pat, his own body and mindset have

fundamentally changed and evolved through the work that they have done together. So he came

highly recommended. And this podcast, we are going to talk about a ton of stuff. It's longer than

normal. We really go the distance. We start off talking a little bit about Pat's own personal

life, his journey to excellence in the field that he's in the PhD. We talk about his addiction

and a little bit of his background that he grew up with as a young adult.

And we progressed from there through a few different topics.
