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.

Managing Low Back Pain the Right Way - a Solocast
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Low back pain is rarely just about the back.
In this solo episode, I walk through what truly matters when you’re trying to solve persistent lumbar issues — whether you’re a practitioner guiding others or someone navigating it yourself.
There are three primary drivers I consistently see:
1️⃣ Manage the Client’s State
If the threat bucket is overflowing, nothing else sticks. Downregulation isn’t optional — it’s foundational.
2️⃣ Build Spinal Capability and Capacity
The lumbar spine cannot carry the entire load. We need equitable distribution of force across the entire spinal system, with progressive exposure to real-world demands.
3️⃣ Restore Movement Intelligence
The brain won’t access what it doesn’t recognize. Using principles from motor learning — self-organization, ecological dynamics, and constraints-based learning — we must re-establish movement quality, quantity, and strategy based on the client’s actual goals.
And we cannot ignore the hips and thoracic spine. They are primary accommodative zones. If they don’t move well, the lumbar spine pays the price.
This episode is about clarity, not complexity.
About solving, not chasing symptoms.
