Imani Ellis has always believed community is a superpower. What began as a small gathering in her Harlem apartment grew into The Creative Collective NYC and CultureCon — one of the largest conferences celebrating creators of color. But behind the highlight reels and celebrity speakers, Imani’s journey has been defined by burnout, bold leaps and learning when to pause. In this episode, Ben and Kathleen sit down with Imani and explore what it takes to transform a passion project into a cultural movement. From balancing a demanding career at NBCUniversal with late-night CultureCon planning, to walking away from work at the height of burnout for a self-designed “creative residency” in Paris, Imani shares the realities of leadership, rest and why joy and community must stay at the center of her work.

Rob Wilson is a performance educator with over twenty years of experience helping people build durable, high-functioning bodies and minds. He joins us on The Ready State Podcast to unpack the uncomfortable truth about performance: it’s not free. In this powerful conversation with Kelly and Juliet Starrett, Rob dives into the real price of pushing your limits, why sleep is non-negotiable, and how to reframe “selfish” self-care as the foundation for showing up better in every area of life. Together, they tackle burnout, aging, and what it takes to sustain health and high output in a world that rewards constant hustle. What You'll Learn in This Episode The three waves of fitness, and why Rob Wilson's book represents the vanguard of the third wave. The problem with the democratization of health metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) if you don't know how to interpret the data or take action. The story behind the "Check Engine Light" metaphor, which helps high performers prioritize what to address and what to ignore. Why the phrase "self-care" often fails with service-oriented and high-performing individuals and the analogy used instead. The "Cobra Effect" or Goodhart's Law, and how chasing a metric like a high HRV can lead to misleading and useless outcomes. How to stop the "medical cascade" and apply an experimental framework (test/retest) to chronic, nagging pain and everyday health issues. The true cost of high performance and the crucial need for a "cost mitigation strategy" to avoid burnout. Why context matters more than perfect protocols, and how to create a personal longevity dashboard for continuous adaptation.

View This Week's Show Notes Start Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility Coach Join Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The Ambush The Starretts kicked off The Ready State Podcast back in January 2018, and today we’re celebrating a milestone: Episode 150! With a brief pandemic hiatus in between, we’re marking this special episode with a look back at some incredible conversations and powerful insights that have shaped our journey. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of hosting thought leaders like Dr. Andrew Huberman on brain science, Laird Hamilton on performance and recovery, and Dr. Mary Claire Haver on demystifying menopause and women's health advocacy, among so many other inspiring figures. From groundbreaking topics in fitness and health to deep dives into resilience, mental strength, and sustainable wellness, this podcast has been a space for exploring human potential in every dimension. While we think of it as our “little podcast with a lowercase 'p',” we’re blown away to be in the top 1% of all podcasts based on downloads, and we’re endlessly grateful to our listeners and guests. Thank you for being part of the journey—whether you’re a longtime listener or joining us for the first time, we’re thrilled to bring you episode 150.
