#39 - Korey Thieleke - Reconstructing Your Identity, Energy, & Writing In Detail.

Today’s guest is with the incredible human being Korey Thieleke. He recently returned to the St. Mary’s Home for Boys as a Case Counselor in Portland, Oregon but our paths cross because of the University of Portland. As a teacher/academic & student-athlete development advisor most recently and during his college career he was a student-athlete with Portland Pilots Basketball.

Korey has had an amazing journey where he competed in college basketball, then competed at NCAA Nationals for 400m his senior year (running a 46.61 PB), but most importantly now creating the life he wants to live. In this episode Korey dives into all things energy, writing in detail, applying his work to his own life, and how his perspective has evolved since recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
