Being Human

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with Dr Waj Mughal. Waj is a medical doctor with the NHS, as well as an online content creator and educator, whose content is centred around crypto (in particular DeFi). He also works for a start up in the crypto space, and happens to be one of my oldest friends too.

Waj shared:

- The process of becoming a doctor and the training one undergoes through medical school.

- The experience of having patients under his care pass away, and how he deals with those experiences.

- His thoughts on my criticisms of the NHS and modern medicine.

- The every man’s definition of what Web3 actually is.

- What cryptocurrencies people should know about.

And a whole lot more.

Waj is incredibly percipient and effective in his work. Throughout the conversation about his journey through medicine, crypto and content creation, he shared so many gems on productivity, decision making and many other skills that are key to success in any realm.

There are heaps of value in this podcast. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of the podcast I sat down with pro MMA fighter, Wez Tully. Wez is making his pro debut on the 22nd June on Golden Ticket Fight Promotions. After a well experienced amateur fight career, Wez already holds the record for the highest number of appearances on GTFP, which includes him capturing the GTFP amateur lightweight title.

Wez not only has 12 MMA fights under his belt, he has also competed in K1 and Muay Thai bouts, as well as having a strong background in BJJ as a purple belt.

Wez talked about:

- The decision to turn pro: how he knew it was time.

- The differences in the pro ruleset that will work to his favour.

- His ultimate goals in the sport of mixed martial arts.

- The training and mindset that will take him to the top.

- The no. 1 mantra he carries with him on a day-to-day basis.

And a whole lot more.

Wez is part of the next generation of talent, who are the future of UK MMA. He had great insights to share on his journey and what is needed to make it in a sport as tough as professional fighting. I do not doubt you will enjoy and find value in what he has to share.

In this episode of the podcast, I sat down with Leon Edwards’ head coach and Renegade BJJ’s boxing coach, Dave Lovell. Dave is coach to a plethora of high-level, successful fighters in both MMA and boxing. None are more pertinent right now though, than UFC world champ Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards.

Dave has been with Leon since day one. Dave shared:

- What his first impressions of Leon were.

- Who he wants to see Leon fight next; Khamzat Chimaev? Shavkat Rakhmonov? Belal Muhammad?

- Whether boxing is a good base for mixed martial arts, and whether this differs between amateur and professional boxing.

- Advice for up and coming fighters.

- Whether you have to be born with a strong mindset or whether you can build it.

And a whole lot more.

Dave has been around the fight game for years. He shared a great deal of wisdom on both fighting and life as a whole throughout this conversation.

I do not doubt you will enjoy and find value in it.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with bodybuilder, and health and fitness influencer, Arran Aro.

I have been following Arran for many years at this point - he was somewhat of a dream guest for me to have on the podcast. Arran shares his workouts and physical training regime on social media, as well as his nutrition and wider lifestyle habits. He also shares insights into mindset, philosophy and living well in a holistic sense.

What I love about Arran compared to a lot of fitness influencers out there, is that he has what I would call a real ‘health first’ approach to training, diet and lifestyle.

Arran shared:

- His tips for building strength and muscle that have worked for him over the years.

- The importance of having a focus to your training.

- Whether ‘gym bros’ or competitive bodybuilders should take steroids or not.

- His natural supplement stack to help him build strength and muscle, and boost testosterone.

- How to approach nutrition beyond the ‘calories in - calories out’ approach.

- How Stoicism can change your life.

- The importance of perspective and making conscious decisions in life.

And a whole lot more!

I harp on about Stoicism constantly. You have Arran to either thank or take issue with for that, because he is the one that originally introduced me to the philosophy through his content.

I have learned so much from Arran over the years, and I learned even more throughout our conversation.

I do not doubt you find a whole lot of value in this episode to help improve your life: physically, mentally and spiritually.

Enjoy the conversation!

In this episode of the podcast, I sat down with ‘Grappler’s Soap’ founder, Dan Bassett. Dan founded Grappler’s Soap just a couple of years ago, to make a soap that was natural, non-irritating and would keep the skin injections, which are all too common in MMA and BJJ gyms, at bay.

I asked Dan how he started up the business and perfected the formula for the soap, as well as wider questions about his journey in the combat sports of mixed martial arts and jujitsu. However the conversation soon began to veer off into discussions on many poignant topics (mostly issues) in society and human living today.

We discussed:

- Whether you should keep up to date with the news or not, especially regarding the wars and conflicts currently going on in the world.

- Whether it is right that figures such as Andrew Tate are being cancelled on social media, whether he is being unjustly targeted, and the impacts of such cases on freedom of speech.

- Whether society is becoming victim to the ‘tyranny of the minority’.

- Whether breathing techniques such as Wim Hof’s work or not.

- How to take care of your physical and mental health.

And a whole lot more.

Lots of opinions shared on lots of hot topics throughout this episode. Let us know yours in the comments below.

This was a very interesting and stimulating discussion. I hope you enjoy and find value in listening to it.

If you train MMA or BJJ, or just want to try a more natural soap that is healthier for your skin, be sure to check out Mr Bassett’s Grappler’s Soap: https://www.mrbassetts.com

In this episode of the Being Human podcast I sat down with ‘Judo’ Jimmy Wallhead, Joe Taylor and Riley Daniels, to recap Riley’s MMA fight at BMF 8 last weekend, and to discuss some changes that are currently being made at HW1.

Riley lost a close split decision. We sat down to watch the fight back, analyse, and decide whether we think he won or lost.

Afterwards, Jimmy and Joe shared some insights on changes they are making with the HW1 fight team going forward, to ensure everyone puts forth their best performances possible, to maximise their results and get those wins that everyone wants.

It is always a pleasure to sit down to discuss life and combat sports with these now Being Human regulars. There is always value to be gained and enjoyment to be had, so I hope you get both in watching and listening to this episode.

In this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with ‘The Busy Superhuman’, Dr Sara Pugh. Sara is a PhD with decades of experience researching and working with molecular mechanisms, quantum biology and biophysics, amongst other scientific studies.

The ultimate aim of Sara’s work is to help people thrive and be healthy, free from illness and disease. Sara emphasises protocols and practices based on principles derived from bio-physics and quantum biology to achieve this.

Sara shared:

- Why seasonal eating is so important and whether we should be eating carbohydrates during winter.

- Whether ‘structured water’ is marketing hype or not.

- Whether nicotine is in fact a ‘super nutrient’.

- Whether peptides such as BPC-157 & Ipamorelin are as good they say they are, and the potential side effects of peptides.

- How fair skinned people who burn easily should expose themselves to the Sun.

- The importance of electricity and magnetism in human health.

- The effects of different diets from vegan and ketogenic, to carnivore and Atkins.

- The effects of cold exposure and sauna bathing.

And much, much more.

Sara has an incredibly advanced and intricate understanding of the mechanisms that affect human health. Throughout our conversation she not only delved into these mechanisms in detail, but provided actionable protocols people can use in line with the mechanisms discussed, to improve their health and vitality.

There was a plethora of valuable knowledge shared from The Busy Superhuman in this episode. I do not doubt you will learn a tremendous amount in listening to Sara.

Kevin shared:

On this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with up and coming amateur MMA fighter and BJJ grappler, Riley Daniels.

Everyone on the up and coming UK MMA and BJJ scene knows who Riley Daniels is. This is a result of; his charismatic, ‘wind-up merchant’ personality, his indefatigably active competitive schedule, and his already extensive highlight reel of ostentatious submission finishes.

Riley is the most active competitor I know. He shared:

- His journey through the sport so far, and how he has come to rub shoulders with some of the biggest stars in UK MMA and BJJ.

- Why competing regularly is so beneficial and important for your progression.

- The adversarial set of circumstances that he had to overcome leading up to his first MMA fight.

- Whether pressure is good or bad in competition.

- How to improve your confidence and body composition.

And much, much more.

Riley shared so many great stories and insights. I trust you will enjoy and find value in listening to them.
