Jason Price is a local business manager in Watertown, NY. In Episode 9 we sit down with Jason and he shares with us what it takes to be successful in his line of work, and how the lessons he's learned in the weight room translate to his daily life, and vice versa. 

Conflict surrounds us and plagues us in our daily lives, but only so much as we let it. In Episode 8 we breakdown how conflict is unavoidable and how we can benefit from embracing it. From strengthening personal relationships to helping build community, weathering conflict in a productive and purposeful manner can greatly enhance our lives. 

In Episode 7 we focus primarily on the martial arts aspect as Rick shares his journey to getting his purple belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu. The ups and downs of training almost perfectly parallel those of life and we examine how what we learn on the mats can be applied to everyday living. 

In Episode 6 we define success and explore how everyone's definition will be different, but the steps taken aren't necessarily. We discuss set backs that are commonly encountered and different ways of viewing life so that we can find success even through our "failures". 

In Episode 5 we sit down with Michael Sixel, professional mma fighter and owner of Neutral Ground in Stevens Point, WI. Mike shares with us how his career in the military and life in mixed martial arts has helped him develop into a community oriented person. He walks us through the highs and lows that have helped him develop the resolve needed to open and run his own school and build his own action based philosophy on life. 

In Episode 4 we break down what "art" means to us, how we can find healing and purpose through artistic expression, and ways that we try and view the world to find art in everything. 

In Episode 3 we discuss the importance of setting goals, how to use short term goals to mark progress towards long term goals, the difference between tangible and intangible goals, and how we can find a love for The Process. 

In Episode 2 we do a deep dive into Day One, Rick's "personal philosophy". From the depths of alcoholism and depression to martial arts, community connection, and rediscovering purpose, and so much more!
