In Episode 2 of The Pulse, Shawn French & Pat Sitkins “flush the format” to give you a behind the scenes look at The Determined Society—covering everything from shark attack survival to the mental reset that comes with back-to-school season. They kick things off with a hot take (but is it?)—baseball is the greatest sport. From there, it’s intentional parenting and setting the tone for back-to-school season, not with chaos—but with clarity. They also dive into The Frequency, the brand-new Official TDS Spotify playlist built from the hype songs of our guests. But this isn’t just music. It’s memories. It’s moments. And every track carries the energy of someone who’s fought through something. This episode covers: 1. Why (we think) baseball is the most mentally rich game in sports 2. The back-to-school energy reset—at home and in business 3. Behind the scenes of The Frequency and the soul behind the songs 4. Surprising stories from behind the Episodes 5.
