Episode 163 I sit down with Anthony Monson. Anthony and I met when he was attending one of the Fieldcraft Survival courses being hosted on our Granite Falls property. Shortly after this Anthony joined our jiu jitsu team and he and his family have become regulars at the academy. In a short amount of time, Anthony has expressed how Jiu Jitsu changed his life, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to share this journey over the podcast! As always, we delve into so many other aspects of life including current events, hunting, and more!

EE 163: The Journey into White Belt with Anthony Monson

What's up guys, my name is Greg Anderson, and after spending a decade in the Special Operations/Para-Military community and 14 overseas deployments, I pursued a new career in Law Enforcement with the interest in putting the deployment lifestyle behind me.

In light of so many events in 2020 regarding law enforcement I decided to speak up on the behalf of the profession and it ultimately cost me my job, but because of this I’ve taken my life in a new direction and one of my pursuits is launching this podcast!

The Endless Endeavor Podcasts was created with the understanding that life is a continuous and arduous journey. I’ve learned that the only way I can grow and develop as a human is maintaining an understanding that there is always a lot to learn and preserve a curiosity across a wide spectrum of interests. 

Through this journey of life I have had the honor to walk amongst giants and look forward to bringing our listeners quality content on a variety of topics.

We will be delving into military operations, jiu jitsu and martial arts, liberty and freedom, tactical proficiency, health and wellness, overcoming depression and PTSD, leadership and team dynamics, parenting, law enforcement and so much more.

In Episode 202 I sit down with my friend and former Professor Marcus Buchecha Almeida. I trained under Buchecha from 2011-2013 and remain a teammate under the Checkmat banner to this day. We go all the back to the beginning of how Marcus found jiu jitsu and the long and arduous process of how he became an elite competitor. He went from wanting to quit jiu jitsu for having so many bad performances at competitions to becoming the most decorated jiu jitsu athlete of all time! Being part of the team and witnessing Buchecha’s meteoric rise to superstardom is something I will cherish for life. What a time to live in Southern California with Checkmat. As someone who knew Marcus before he was a blackbelt world champion, I can attest he’s still that kindhearted down to earth person I remember from 2011. I really enjoyed this reconnection.

EE 202: The Jiu Jitsu Life with Marcus Buchecha Almeida

In Episode 201 I sit down with Austin Johnson and John Fontaine from North Idaho Archery. I love this story because it’s a tale of striving for something bigger and pursuing your passions. Both men are combat veterans and former police officers. They were inspired by my story of building a new career path post law enforcement and wanted to pursue their passion for archery as a viable career. They left behind the security of a paycheck and benefits and embarked into the unknown as new entrepreneurs with one mission in mind, enrich our community through our passion for archery. Law enforcement is a great profession for many as you’ll hear us discuss in this episode, but it’s important to build a path towards something new once the fire inside of you has burned out. Don’t be the cop staying inside the profession to simply chase your pension. Life is short and is meant to be lived!

EE 201: Life at Full Draw with the Founders of North Idaho Archery

In Episode 200 I sit down with Kirk Davis. Kirk is part of an organization titled the Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound (or CAMPS). One of CAMPS main missions is assisting veterans in the transition from active duty to civilian life by assisting them in finding employment inside of the civilian workforce within the manufacturing industry. It’s an honorable mission and a valuable resource for veterans, so I jumped at the chance to have him on the show. We discussed his program in detail, but then discuss many other aspects of leadership, teamwork, professional development so much more. I really enjoyed spending these two hours with Kirk.

EE 200: Helping Veterans Transition into the Civilian Workforce with Kirk Davis

In Episode 199 I sit down with Semi Bird! I really loved this short episode getting to know Semi. We’ve already agreed we need 10 more hours together and I’m happy to oblige, so this is being released as part 1! We didn’t dive too deep into policy and his specific strategies he’ll be implementing as governor as I wanted the initial part of our conversation to simply be about getting to know him as a person. I enjoyed this brief but powerful conversation with Semi and already looking forward to recording our follow-up episodes soon!

EE 199: A New Beginning for Washington State Pt. 1 with Semi Bird

In Episode 198 we do another solocast. We do another round of informed but not consumed. There is no shortage of craziness sweeping across this country and it’s always important to shine a spotlight on some of these issues. We talk about them, highlight the shortcomings and then, as always, talk about how we can be part of the solution and never part of the problem. Always an asset never a liability, but it seems no matter how hard we all scream from the mountaintops, that many people will forever choose to keep their head comfortably in the sand! 2024 is just getting started so buckle up!
