October 20, 2020 You’re A Human Being, Not A Science Experiment | Ep 044
Sure, red light therapy and blue light blocking glasses in conjunction with ice baths and saunas can optimize sleep while eating nose to tail with a strict fasting schedule... yadda, yadda, yadda.
Is there validity to some of these practices? Yes.
Are there benefits to be had from adopting them? Yes.
Can you become TOO obsessed with them? Yes.
My point is that too many people become so obsessed with living an optimal life that they aren't really living one at all. Your human experience should be ENCHANCED by science, NOT REPLACED by it.

October 13, 2020 Putting Keto In Context - Chris Irvin | Ep 043
They say you should never be the smartest person in the room, and if that is true for podcasts then I’d say I did this episode right!
In this episode, I am joined by Chris Irvin.
Chris has a Master’s Degree in exercise and nutrition science, and a true expert on the ketogenic diet. We discussed what led him to keto, how no one specific approach to the diet is best for everyone, and so much more. He did an excellent job simplifying and demystifying the ketogenic diet, and this episode is a real must listen for any keto dieter - rookie and veteran alike!

October 06, 2020 Stop Living In Your Fear - Brenda Breland | Ep 042
In this episode I am joined by Brenda Breland.
Her struggles with weight as well as postpartum depression started Brenda on a path that would take her places she never thought of before. She overcame her depression, changed her lifestyle, and went on to pursue the best version of herself she could possibly be!
Today, Brenda coaches others as they work to make those same positive changes in their own lives.
I had a lot of fun talking to Brenda, and I think this is a great episode for everyone, but particularly good for those females that may be listening. Brenda brought a lot of great insight and experience from the female perspective that is often lacking on this show.
I hope you enjoy today’s episode!

September 29, 2020 Living An Accountable Life - ALG Crossover | Ep 041
The primary driver behind everything that I do with my podcast and my brand is trying to help others make the same changes to their lives that I have so that they may pursue their own life to its fullest. A big part of that kind of change is accountability…
My friends John and David are the cofounders of the Accountable Life Group. It’s a group of people dedicated to holding each other accountable as you move towards your goals no matter what they may be.
I was recently on their podcast to discuss my own journey, the role accountability played in it, and SO MUCH more. Today, listen to my discussion with the guys over at ALG. There’s something in this one for everybody!

September 08, 2020 The Power of Daily Discipline - Joshua Settlage | Ep 038
In today’s episode, I’m talking to Joshua Settlage.

Josh is currently a strength and conditioning coach for a variety of grappling athletes in addition to training and competing in jiu-jitsu himself. He also hosts the Daily Discipline Manifesto podcast and works with Mark Bell and the team over at Super Training Gym and Slingshot.

In this episode we go over a WIDE variety of subjects like Josh’s history in wrestling and weightlifting, that one time he did a bodybuilding show, nutrition and weight cutting for athletes, and even why Batman is the greatest superhero of all time.

This episode was exactly the kind of content I want to create - just the right blend of educational conversation and two dudes having fun.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!

September 01, 2020 Muscles, Meat Eating, & Much More - Danny Vega | Ep 037
Muscles, Meat Eating, & Much More - Danny Vega | Ep 037

Today I am joined by someone I look up to as a content creator, as a man, and as a father - the great and powerful Danny Vega!

Danny has been a huge part of the keto community for as long as I can remember. He’s what I would consider a true expert in the subject of nutrition as well as strength and conditioning!

We go into Danny’s background that led him to becoming the absolute savage of a man he is today. We discuss keto and general nutritional concepts. We also talk about fitness and how those two things relate. We ALSO go into a bit of mindset stuff, and we even had what was a very helpful conversation for me about homeschooling as Danny and his wife are veterans and my wife and I are in our first month ever homeschooling our children.

Probably one of the most educational episodes I’ve done, and a ton of fun to record.

Enjoy!

August 25, 2020 No Guts, No Glory - Ashleigh Van Houten | Ep 036
I had the pleasure of talking to Ashleigh Van Houten. You may know her as The Muscle Maven. She is a health and nutrition journalist, speaker, podcast host, certified health coach, and self-proclaimed health and fitness nerd.
It’s always important to me to make this podcast valuable and entertaining at the same time, and Ashleigh was the perfect guest to help me do both.
We talked about fitness and nutrition, bodybuilding, diet dogma, jiu-jitsu, and so much awesome stuff including her soon to be released organ meat cookbook, It Takes Guts.
If you don’t appreciate the humor in that title, I don’t know if I can help you.

This is a great episode, and I know you’re gonna enjoy it!
