This episode of “After The Final Bell,” hosted by UFC striking coach Mike Gonzales and YouTube bounty hunter Trevor O'Connor, introduces the podcast as a look into life after an adrenaline-fueled career has ended. Much of the conversation revolves around Trevor O'Connor’s experiences with the video game Rust, which he is playing with his friends, Matthew and Will. Trevor describes the game as a more adult, survival-based version of Minecraft and shares his frustration with “offline raiding” in public servers, which led him to create a private, invite-only server where players agree not to attack bases unless the owner is logged in. They also discuss the hosts' professional lives, including an update on Mike Gonzales’ fighter, Tatsudo, who is right on track with his recovery and scheduled to fight again in December. This leads to a commentary on the current state of the UFC, including the diminishing box office appeal of Conor McGregor and the notable lack of American champions across multiple weight classes. Wrapping up the episode, the hosts touch on the 27th anniversary of Google, early tech adoption, and the missed opportunity of early Bitcoin investment, before Trevor O'Connor shares a detailed, unexecuted business concept for a tattoo parlor with a large, entertaining waiting area (complete with a PlayStation and foosball table) designed to keep the customers’ waiting friends happy.

In this episode, Mike and Trevor engage in a candid, free-flowing conversation that touches on personal anecdotes, societal observations, and frustrations with modern culture.

The conversation critiques the inconsistency in consequences for free speech, citing examples like Roseanne Barr’s cancellation versus Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension for controversial remarks.

The episode of After The Final Bell, hosted by UFC striking coach Mike Gonzales and YouTube bounty hunter Trevor O'Connor, features guest Joey Fritz, a mental and performance coach, to discuss the critical importance of psychology for high-level athletes. Joey, a former Marine with a master's in sports psychology, practices performance psychology, recognizing that much of his work is less about specific sports skills and more about life coaching, helping fighters become more resilient and manage anxieties that impact their performance both inside and outside the cage. A central topic of the conversation is the complexity of the fear of success. The hosts and Joey identify this as a form of self-sabotage, which often stems from feeling undeserving or from the overwhelming pressure of constantly having to be "that good" after a major achievement.

The co-hosts and Joey detailed the intricacies of effective coaching, noting that a coach's tone and demeanor are vital, especially when working with female athletes, where even small emotional exchanges can be amplified. Crucially, effective cornering relies on providing positive, active instruction—telling the athlete what to do (e.g., "throw the jab") rather than what not to do (e.g., "stop moving backward")—to ensure clarity in a high-stress moment. They lauded cornering specialist Trevor Whitman for his masterful ability to use minimal, encouraging words based on reading his athlete's body language. The discussion highlighted that truly successful athletes, such as Cory, continually evolve and adapt their style after every fight, contrasting with those who stall their careers by fighting defensively "not to lose" or sticking rigidly to outdated winning formulas.

The "After The Final Bell" podcast, hosted by UFC striking coach Mike Gonzales and YouTube bounty hunter Trevor O'Connor, explores the transition from an adrenaline-fueled career to "real life" after the spotlight fades. In this episode, the hosts, also referencing Jason and Scott Riley of [suspicious link removed], discuss O'Connor's recent working trip to a hunting ranch in Texas. They contrast the permissive building and utility laws in rural Texas—where building permits, blueprints, and even an electricity tap (if within 60 feet of the road) are notably absent or free—with the heavily regulated environment of Colorado. The conversation shifts to the stark difference in community values, highlighting a strong sense of mutual aid and genuine helpfulness in Texas, exemplified by neighbors readily assisting with a broken-down skid steer without expecting anything in return. This contrasts with what the hosts perceive as a transactional, score-keeping culture in Colorado. O'Connor describes the experience in Texas as a welcome disconnect from the negativity and constant connectivity of the outside world, finding a simpler, more community-focused way of life among the locals, which he deeply appreciates.

In this episode of "After The Final Bell," hosts Mike Gonzales and Trevor O'Connor discuss a range of topics, emphasizing the importance of jiu-jitsu, particularly for law enforcement. They highlight how jiu-jitsu changes a person's mindset, making them less reliant on firearms in confrontations and more inclined to de-escalate with physical control. The hosts lament the lack of required jiu-jitsu training for police officers and share an anecdote about humbling new police cadets by disarming them in a controlled training environment.

The conversation also touches on the hosts' experiences with shooting ranges, discussing the risks of public ranges versus private ones and the skill required for long-distance and combat shooting. They share personal shooting anecdotes, including how a friend, Kristen, was able to hit a target from 250 yards away.

In a lighter turn, the hosts discuss their interests in nature and travel, mentioning their desire to see the Northern Lights and the Redwood forests. The episode concludes with a brief, more politically charged discussion about state-level politics and the misuse of public funds, particularly referencing the governors of California and Colorado.

In this episode of "After The Final Bell" a podcast hosted by Mike Gonzales and Trevor O'Connor, the episode features a discussion on life after high-stakes careers like military service and professional fighting. The hosts, joined by guest Jimmy McCulloch, delve into the challenges of transitioning to "real life."

A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the U.S. military. They discuss how inadequate leadership and improper physical training can lead to debilitating injuries for service members, ultimately contributing to a high rate of military disability claims. The hosts and their guest express concern that many veterans who are not genuinely disabled are claiming benefits, which burdens the system and makes it more difficult for those with severe combat injuries to receive the care they desperately need. The discussion touches on the mental toll of service, suggesting that a veteran's mindset before deployment is a key factor in their ability to cope with the hardships of combat.

In the 76th episode of "After the Final Bell," hosts Mike Gonzalez and Trevor O'Connor discuss a variety of topics, beginning with a humorous and off-kilter debate about human evolution, Neanderthals, and shape-shifting aliens. The conversation then transitions to Trevor's recent move to Bangkok, Thailand, which he describes as "pure chaos" but in a good way, likening it to a city designed with ADHD.

The conversation shifts to the entertainment industry, where the hosts and their guest, comedian Gary Miller, discuss the tedious reality of working on a film set, including long periods of waiting for short scenes. Miller, an improv comedian, explains the challenges and spontaneity of improv versus the structured nature of stand-up comedy. They also touch on the concept of "cancel culture," with Miller and Gonzalez suggesting that it's often more about losing a specific audience than total career destruction, particularly for public figures who can create their own platforms on YouTube.

The episode concludes with lighthearted banter about pop culture, including the hosts' disbelief at the existence of what they describe as "cannibalistic" Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials and their frustration with the lack of new TV series during the summer.

On this episode of "After The Final Bell" host Trevor O'Connor and guest Jason Riley, who join forces while Mike Gonzales is out of town. The two dive headfirst into their shared love for all things airsoft, making the case that their "geeky" hobby is more than just a game—it's a surprisingly effective form of tactical training.

They share some memorable, and slightly ridiculous, moments from the field, including a story about Trevor accidentally blasting a kid at close range and an encounter with a guy who wanted to fight them because he got shot in the face. They highlight the different subcultures of airsoft, from hardcore "mil-sim" players to the angry renters.
