He also explains why education is now critical, particularly for youth athletes, parents, schools and practitioners who need to understand creatine in the right context.

The conversation also explores the future of creatine as an ingredient technology, with Steve outlining how new forms of creatine could be used in functional foods, gummies, drinks and other products designed for wider health and performance benefits.

This is a conversation about sport, science, innovation and the changing role of creatine in human performance.

His influential teaching on organizational evolution, responsive intelligence, and the critical practices for living an emotionally intelligent life have touched millions. A versatile sports enthusiast with a deep-rooted passion for hockey, Dr. McElhenie’s journey was notably shaped by a transformative experience at a Canadian hockey camp in the late '70s.

He sharpened his emotional intelligence as an athlete, guided by exceptional coaches and his own exploratory practices. But Greg's journey of self-improvement extends beyond the rink. He broadened his horizons through corporate and entrepreneurship experiences, enriched by leadership training, a professional coaching certification, and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership.

About Michael & Greg

Dr. Michael McElhenie is a leading figure in leadership development and organizational change and is renowned as one of the world’s top experts in Emotional Intelligence (EQ). His profound impact across decades spans coaching global executives, world leaders, and elite athletes worldwide. With a robust background in behavioral neuroscience, psychology, embodied practices, and kinesiology, Dr. McElhenie skillfully balances roles as an advisor to executive teams, corporate boards, and sports industry leaders while coaching athletes to enhance their EQ. His influential teaching on organizational evolution, responsive intelligence, and the critical practices for living an emotionally intelligent life have touched millions. A versatile sports enthusiast with a deep-rooted passion for hockey, Dr. McElhenie’s journey was notably shaped by a transformative experience at a Canadian hockey camp in the late '70s. There, he encountered a professional goalie coach who introduced him to pivotal breathwork and focusing techniques, essential for emotional management both on and off the ice. These techniques have become Dr. McElhenie’s cornerstone as he guides others to achieve their utmost potential.

Gregory Dunn is a dynamic fusion of an accomplished athlete, seasoned business executive, and skilled executive leadership coach, dedicated to enhancing human performance through the art of self-mastery. His fervent commitment to personal development drives athletes, business leaders, and teams toward the pinnacle of success. Forged in the competitive fires of AAA, Junior, and Canadian Division 1 hockey in Toronto, Greg intimately understands the rigors of balancing physical prowess with emotional growth. He sharpened his emotional intelligence as an athlete, guided by exceptional coaches and his own exploratory practices. But Greg's journey of self-improvement extends beyond the rink. He broadened his horizons through corporate and entrepreneurship experiences, enriched by leadership training, a professional coaching certification, and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership. Greg's approach is a holistic blend of emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and interpersonal growth, creating tailored strategies for success. At the heart of his philosophy lies a simple yet powerful tenet: embracing challenges and cultivating resilience are the cornerstones of ongoing personal development and achieving peak performance.
