4 years ago, I made the decision to stand true to my values and open our gym in spite of the government.  I didn't believe in this sham from the get go and I can be quite stubborn headed.   This made for the perfect moment in my history to live out my values in a very strange and surreal time.   Today, I go over the behind the scenes story of how our decision led to the national spotlight and how we won against the government.   I still get chills when I think about it.   If you enjoy the...

My Time With Mark Bell Last Week   Last week, Devon and I flew out to Sacramento so I could appear on Mark Bell’s world famous show: The Power Project.     It was something that I had visualized often and it came as no surprise to me that my thoughts manifested.     I have always liked and respected Mark’s open, honest and intelligent approach to health and fitness.     Plus, he’s a heck of a successful entrepreneur!   In today’s episode, I break down the trip, the memories, the...

I started using testosterone over a decade ago after competing as a natural bodybuilder for many years.   And it has been a game changer!   Let’s be clear, TRT is the same thing as anabolic steroids and PEDs.    Another hot topic that people have been requesting I talk about is Ozempic.  If you want to know what I think about it, listen up!      In today’s episode, I go over all the benefits, risks and clarify some issues on the topic.     PS- I am taking on 5 new clients, shoot me a...

In today’s episode I teach you about the most underrated form of exercise that nearly everyone can do, with few exceptions.     Jesus did it constantly.     Einstein was notorious for it.     Steve Jobs came up with his greatest ideas while doing this.     To find out what I am talking about and for some new insights on it if you already know what I am talking about, you will have to take a listen!   Here is a link to find out more about my upcoming Panda Challenge:...

In today’s episode, I bring back a fan favorite: conspiracy theories and how what I’ve been teaching for decades can help you survive Armageddon.     My video crew recently asked me what I am really passionate about these days, and this is it.  I study this and do my research.  If you have been living inside a box or haven’t broken free from the Matrix, then this should help you in that regard.     It’s time to connect the dots.    

Last Friday, I had a great Coaching call with a friend and client from Missouri, Isaac.     We went down the rabbit hole on a bunch of different things, much of which is too much to share here.     But one of the topics we got to talking about was Jesus, vibrational energy and how God builds us up.     Isaac made the great analogy of God being a Silversmith.  If you hold the spoon or ladle over the fire too long, it gets ruined.     The struggles you are having is the flame.  You are...

People that succeed set goals.   People that don't succeed set goals.  Goals are not the differentiating factor when it comes to succeeding.   So, what is the answer?  In today's episode I break it all down.   Your path is the answer, the process.   And remember, the purpose of setting any goal is to increase your level of happiness.   Always check yourself before you wreck yourself.   Be Unconventional... P.S. - If you haven't gotten your FREE workout from my site yet, you can do so...

I had the pleasure of interviewing Pascal Bachman, a man that is currently 80 or so days into a 100 day fast!   Yes, you read that right!   And, while I love fasting, I have no visions of doing a 100 day fast.  So the next best way for me to learn about something of that magnitude was to interview someone that is doing it.     In the episode, we go over blood work, mindset, sleep and performance when in the depths of a really long fast.     ‘Your intention determines the result’ -...

Last weekend, we went up to Mt. Washington to attempt to climb it for the 4th year in a row.     Our crew has grown up to 14 men, ALL who want to challenge themselves.     Is it what I felt like doing?  Of course not, it would be so much easier to have a lazy Saturday at home (what’s that like???).     As usual, there were many lessons learned, many insights gained.  When you put yourself into a corner, where it feels like you are up against the world’s heavy weight champ, your mind has...

We are living through perilous times, Biblical times, in my humble but accurate opinion.     I love studying this stuff and have a very good intuition when it comes to what is going on.     Love me or hate me, I was 100% right with everything I said about Covid from the very start of it.     In today’s episode, I break down some of what I think is going on, what is going to happen and why I have this month and April marked as ‘high alert and readiness’ months.     Things aren’t going...

And James Dorsett is a walking, living testament to self-mastery.     In this episode, I chat with James about fatherhood, chasing your dreams and the chaos within the world.     You have to give credit to a man that is a single father and that gave up the comforts of a JOB to pursue his passion.     P.S. - I have the next round of the Panda Challenge  beginning next Monday.  If you would like to join people from all over the globe and are ready to drop massive weight heading into the...

Money Won’t Bring You Happiness but Happiness Will Bring You Money   I had the pleasure of interviewing Kelly Siegel of ‘Harder than Life’.     His story is amazing and everything he touches turns to a success.     Kelly lives an extremely disciplined life, is at the gym every morning at 5 AM, following his morning journaling and meditation and even gave up booze back in 2019, for good!     Kelly has been on quite the journey and as he says, ‘Is the ultimate student’.  I walked away...

Late last week, I had an interview with a top level longevity doctor, Akash Bajaj, from out on the west coast.     We talked about a lot of stuff, mindset, hormones and what he does to help his patients and clients live better, more vibrant lives.     And he’s got a really cool story that he tells at the beginning about how he was literally a witness to the twin towers coming down on 9/11 and being a first responder on the scene.     Amazing stuff!     You can follow Dr. Akash on IG...

15 years ago, I met Devon.  Even though it seems like a year ago!    Being that today is Valentine’s Day, I figured I would share our little love story with you on today’s show.     As with anything, there are lessons embedded and the top students will always be able to pull those lessons out and apply them to their own lives.     Patterns were the reason we found each other and patterns were why I tried to break up with her.  Take a listen and you will understand why.    

Last week, I had a great talk with my friend from Alabama, Layne.     We had been wanting to do a podcast for a while, and the timing eventually worked out.     In this episode, we go over why fasting is the #1 thing you should put in your toolbox if and when SHTF.     We also go over our views and thoughts on what is going on in the world and a few predictions.     That might not be your cup of tea, no hard feelings if that’s the case.     If you like this episode and want to hear...

Get Healthy to Lose Weight   Last week, I had the pleasure of having renowned functional medicine Doctor, Tim Jackson, on my show.     Tim and I have a deep interest in each other’s work, in fact, I was on his show back in the fall to talk about all things fasting.     We go into a lot of very interesting things in this episode, including gut health, the quality of the air you breathe and how to make sure your mitochondria is functioning at their peak.     You are, afterall, only as...

When one of my great friends and mentors, Sweet Lou, asked me to out to Ohio with him this past week, I had no idea how busy of a week I was going to have.     But, as my schedule filled in over the months since he asked me, I realized that it was going to be ‘a lot’.     I had just gotten back from South Carolina and quickly had to turn around the next morning, train, hang with the kids for an hour before school and then back off to another airport.     On the way, we were just about...

Way back in 1997, I went to the library to take out a book.     Imagine.     Now I have about 3 books delivered to the house each week, ha!   What was the book?  It was a book by Dr. Dennis Waitley, I don’t recall the name of it.     It was about visualization.     Odd book for a teenager, no?   Well, that really set me on to tapping into the power of the mind and it’s something that I have been studying and applying ever since.     In today’s episode, I share with you some of...

The week before Christmas, I had a great interview with my new friend, Dr. Dean Jones of Colorado Medical solutions.     Dean had reached out a while back because he saw some of my videos and wanted to connect with another true practitioner of long form fasting.     You see, many talk, but don’t walk.  Or at least don’t ‘walk it’ very often.     And we had both helped literally hundreds upon hundreds of direct students and clients.     In this episode we go deep on so many things that...

Back in 2008/09, I hired my first personal Coach.     I was very intrigued by his approach to training as well as cycle diets, since it aligned with the path that I was on but he was decades ahead of me in experience.     Truth be told, what really drew me to him was his approach to the mind, body, spirit connection.     The training was just icing on the cake.   In fact, one of his books, ‘Your Truth is Calling: Connecting the Dots to Self-Awareness’, is still one of if not the best...

I remember back to when I was competing and trying to balance a life alongside that.     I would bring tupperware everywhere with me and if wasn’t a cheat day, I WAS NOT fun to go out with.     I missed far too many moments trying to ‘stick with my diet’.     It was silly.     I learned a lot, but I now try to FREE people from that type of mindset and that prison of dieting.     In today’s episode, I go over Mind Mapping, how to navigate the holidays with fasting and some of the...

It’s hard to believe that it was already a week ago that I was down in Houston preparing for a presentation to AAM, a large financial institution.     Believe it or not, I had speaking on a large scale stage like that on my vision for 2023.     Dreams do become a reality, when you take the time to invest your energy into them.     So, what did I learn from my talk?     A lot!  And I am not really talking about the content of which I spoke, although I learn that stuff deeper each time...

What I Believe About Marketing   I began studying training back in 1997.     I opened my business officially in 2007.     In 2007, I began studying marketing.     To the point that I have probably invested more time, energy and money learning marketing than I have training or nutrition.     It’s a passion of mine, because of how much psychology is involved.     Seriously, I read a good sales letter like most guys look at porn or IG models.  I get jacked about reading good sales...

25 plus years ago, I fell in love with strength training.     Even at that point, I was on a never ending quest to learn the true ‘Secrets’ of strength.     And if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that there are no secrets.     There’s a better way to do things, an optimal way, especially if your goal is to have your strength and fitness carry over to everyday life, and why wouldn’t that be your goal?  Unless you were a professional bodybuilder.     In today’s podcast, I give you the...
