Our guest today is Brad Klyn, who has worked in medical device sales since 2002 (23 years!), and currently at Intuitive Surgical where he sells and educates clinicians the DaVinci Surgical Robot for half of Canada. Before that, he spent over 20 years at Pentax Medical selling flexible endoscopy solutions for the gastroenterology market. Brad spends 100+ nights on the road each year, and he shares his tactics for staying in balance. Key takeaways include the following: 1. Bring your activities with you. Brad has an inflatable paddle board, and often brings his hockey gear of golf clubs on trips with him. When you get to the point where you have status on an airline, most oversize baggage is free to check into a flight. 2. Move more. Brad doesn't do gyms on the road, but he ensures he's always doing a bodyweight workout to start the day. Air squats, jump squats, pushup variations, and shadow boxing can be done anywhere, including your hotel room before you start work for the day. 3. Nutrition is the key to his balance and longevity. Like me, Brad packs his powdered nutrition and shaker cup with enough supplies for breakfast each day, although he often won't eat 3 meals per day. Brad explains that evolution didn't have humans eating nearly as much society dictates we do today, so why overfeed yourself when you're on the road? Brad takes nutrition to the next level by now packing a compact blender in his carry-on to ensure he can blend a good smoothie every day no matter where his travels take us. 4. Take advantage of the locals and find out what's the best thing to do in each location, because you may never be back to explore. Even better, do activities with the local community to level-up your experience. Brad reminds us that in 20 years, we'll never remember the work we did on these trips, but we will remember the community and the exploration, which is what humans thrive on. This interview was engaging and insightful, and we can all learn a lot from Brad's travel protocol. Keep it simple, have high standards for nutrition and movement, and remember that loneliness doesn't have to be a prerequisite for work travel. As always, if you spend a lot of your life on the road, we're here to help you not only survive, but thrive, even when you're out of your element! #travel #nutrition #smoothie #explore #community #local #movement #fitness #worklifebalance #roadtrip #coach
