ROOKS: THE FIRST 21 MOVES
Health. Mindset. Strategy. Performance.
The first move is not about doing more.
It is about identifying the move that actually changes your position.
THINK BEFORE YOU MOVE.
The First 21 Moves explores how health, mindset, and strategy shape performance when decisions matter. Through solo episodes and conversations with people operating in medicine, business, leadership, research, and other high-stakes environments, ROOKS examines the principles behind clearer thinking and deliberate execution.
Five foundational episodes. One framework for thinking, performing, and executing more deliberately.

BEYOND THE FIRST MOVES
The conversation continues.
The First 21 Moves expands beyond the foundational solo episodes into conversations with physicians, entrepreneurs, leaders, researchers, operators, patients, and unexpected voices—people whose experience can help us examine how decisions are made when health, performance, strategy, and consequence intersect.
WHY ROOKS?
Different disciplines. The same problem: making better decisions when the outcome matters.
Medicine, leadership, business, physical performance, and strategy may look like different worlds. But each demands the ability to assess the position, separate signal from noise, and act deliberately. The First 21 Moves explores what these disciplines can teach each other.
WHAT’S YOUR FIRST MOVE?
Every position is different. The principle is the same: understand where you are, identify what matters, and make the move that changes the position.
