#1 Dad Mug: Time Over Tech

Happy New Year, Superheroes! Today, we're reposting an interview from the Pulse Ox Podcast featuring our very own Erik Qualman. Pulse Ox, hosted by Eric Stopper, explores the intersection of science, spirituality, and high performance. In this episode, Equalman shares his inspiring journey from being cut from his high school basketball team to earning a scholarship at Michigan State University under Coach Tom Izzo. He recounts a pivotal moment when losing teeth during practice demonstrated his grit—turning a setback into the key that unlocked his dream and reframing life's challenges as events happening for us rather than to us. The conversation also explores spirituality, fatherhood goals, and balancing family time amid a busy life.
