From the Track to the Quantum Field: Pete Dolan on Why the Soul, Not Science, Holds the Answers

Ep. 56

What if the key to understanding your purpose isn’t found in the physical world—but in the unseen, spiritual realm that science is just beginning to explore?


In this episode, I’m joined by Pete Dolan, a seasoned NCAA Division I coach and spiritual seeker based in California. He has been the head coach of the UC Santa Barbara men’s and women’s track and field and cross country programs for over two decades, leading numerous athletes to Big West titles and NCAA championship appearances. A former standout runner himself, Dolan brings passion and purpose not only to athletics but also to personal growth and consciousness exploration. Outside the track, he is a dedicated reader, meditator, and active member of a long-standing intention group influenced by the teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza and Lynn McTaggart. Pete blends performance coaching with spiritual wisdom, always seeking deeper truths about love, unity, and what it means to live a meaningful life.


Throughout this episode, Pete offers a thoughtful and introspective voice in this episode, sharing stories from his early spiritual experiences to his present-day practices of meditation, group intentions, and reading. He articulates the philosophies of Christian Science, discusses the metaphysical implications of matter, and reflects on the interconnectedness of spiritual traditions and modern science. Pete's calm, reflective tone underscores his belief in unity, love, and the idea that “anything is possible.” Through discussions on parenting, coaching, retreats, and personal growth, Pete emerges as a deeply caring individual who seeks to live an intentional, spiritually aligned life.
