What happens when you strip away food, comfort, and every excuse for 21 days straight... while working six days a week, doing 350 push-ups every morning, and being a full-time single dad? You meet yourself in a way most people never will.

In this episode, I sit down with my brother Frank Roby on day 20 of his 21-day water fast. Frank has been doing extended fasts for over six years, including a full 40-day fast during which he went from 188 to 135 pounds, built a business, and navigated the 2020 shutdown. This conversation happened in real time, in the trenches, and what came through was nothing short of powerful.

We get into how Frank learned to literally speak to his body and command his stomach to stop growling mid-growl, why the "maybe" is the most dangerous word when you're pursuing anything meaningful, how fasting rewires your relationship with hunger, discipline, and integrity, the biblical and spiritual roots of fasting and why Frank calls it a "direct line to your Creator," what it means to fast while making your son's favorite pizza and tucking him in smelling like pizza grease, and why opposition isn't something to fear but confirmation that growth is on the other side.

Key Takeaways:

• You are one decision away from changing your entire existence. The power is in the deciding.

• 99% is a bitch, 100% is a breeze. Leave no room for the "maybe."

• Opposition is confirmation. If nothing's fighting you, nothing's at stake.

• The low hanging fruit is usually rotten. Reach higher.

• Your mind is the real opponent. Your stomach goes quiet, but your brain never stops looking for a crack.

• Don't fear the fast, fear the excuse. Start small, stay consistent, and never break a commitment to yourself.

If this episode lights something in you, reach out. Frank is building a platform called The Fit Fast for the fasting community, and we're putting together a group fast you can join. Lock in, stay blessed, stay focused, and make the decision.

You are a pattern breaker. You just might not know it yet.

In this episode, I reflect on facilitating over 100 people through retreats (and thousands more through breathwork and cold immersion experiences) and break down the five patterns I see come up again and again. These aren't random. These are the patterns we all share in some way, shape, or form. And the beautiful thing? They can all be reprogrammed.

I share real stories from retreats, from a woman who couldn't ask for help zipping up her jacket to a high powered businesswoman who was so deep in her masculine she'd lost touch with her softness. I also get personal about my own patterns, including a moment on a plane where I had to muster the courage to set a simple boundary with a stranger.

Whether it's people pleasing, not trusting your body, being out of balance with your masculine or feminine energy, having a toxic relationship with emotions, or hiding behind the masks and roles you play, this episode is an invitation to see yourself and start doing the work.

Key takeaways:

• The five patterns we all share (and how to spot them in yourself)

• Why asking for help is one of the hardest things for good hearted people

• How cold immersion exposes your patterns and forces you to soften

• The shift from "I am sad" to "I feel sadness" and why it changes everything

• When you block your authentic self, you deprive the universe of its full expression

We are ancient beings living in a modern world. Your patterns are not your destiny. Go break some today.

There's a version of you that knows exactly what to do next, but you won't let it speak.

In this episode, I reveal why your higher-self is trying to communicate with you, but all the noise, resistance, and mental chatter is drowning it out.

We're constantly moving, constantly doing, constantly filling every moment with distractions—and in all that chaos, the wisdom that's already inside you doesn't stand a chance. Your higher-self has the answers you're searching for, but you've got to create the space to actually listen.

I break down what's blocking that connection, why stillness and intentionality are non-negotiable if you want to access your deepest knowing, and practical ways to quiet the noise so you can finally hear what you've been missing.

Key takeaways:

• Why constant motion keeps you disconnected from your intuition

• The difference between your ego-mind and your higher-self

• How to create space for the guidance that's already there

• Simple practices to tune into your inner wisdom daily

If you've been searching everywhere for answers when they've been inside you all along, this episode will help you turn down the volume on everything else and finally listen.

This special live episode was recorded at the launch event for An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Freedom, the new book from ZICO Coconut Water founder and GroundForce Capital co-founder Mark Rampolla.

In this conversation, Mark shares what real freedom looks like for entrepreneurs and leaders—the kind that comes not from success or status, but from awareness, choice, and courage. He shares raw stories of loss, transformation, and rebuilding after the 2025 Palisades fire, and offers powerful practical frameworks like the “energy audit” and “freedom binder.”

The episode closes with Mark reading a moving passage from his book—an honest reflection on letting go, surrender, and what rises from the ashes.

What if sexuality was treated as sacred instead of secret?

In this powerful conversation, Joshua sits down with Tyson to explore how men can transform their relationship with sex, self-pleasure, and masculinity. Tyson shares his personal journey of overcoming premature ejaculation, healing from porn addiction, and discovering mindful practices that reframe sexual energy as life force and fuel for growth.

Together they unpack:

• The practice of mindful masturbation as a tool for healing and self-awareness
• Why semen retention can unlock energy, vitality, and creativity
• How porn rewires our arousal template, and what it takes to reclaim it
• The deep shame men carry around sex, and how to move through it
• How conscious sexual practices ripple into relationships, leadership, and society

This isn’t just a conversation about sex. It’s about rewriting masculinity, reclaiming sovereignty, and learning to lead from a place of wholeness and integrity.

Is this really worth losing your peace over?

That’s the question Joshua Church invites us to live by in this powerful solo episode of The Way You Lead.

In a world constantly pulling at our attention—and our nervous systems—Joshua explores the daily practice of protecting your peace. Drawing inspiration from Michael Singer and the simple yet profound lessons of life (like getting cut off in traffic), he breaks down how we give away our power and how to start reclaiming it.

What we cover:

• How to shift from reacting to allowing
• Why peace is a muscle, and how to build it
• The spiritual paradox of “trying” to be peaceful
• A Buddhist parable that might just change your week
• Flipping the script on success and redefining what you’re really working toward

If you’ve ever felt hijacked by a comment, a headline, or a stranger’s actions—this is your reminder: You don’t have to give it your energy.

Listen in and reclaim your peace.

Disconnection may be one of the biggest health issues we face today—and most people don’t even realize they’re living in it.

In this rich and revealing conversation, Joshua sits down with healer, martial artist, and fascia expert Scott Olsen to explore what it truly means to live and lead in an integrated way. From working with world-class athletes to practicing ancient internal martial arts in Beijing, Scott brings decades of experience helping high performers get out of pain and back into their bodies.

Together, they unpack what causes disconnection, how the body shapes itself to survive (even in dysfunction), and how presence—not performance—is the real access point to healing.

Key insights include:

• Why your nervous system is like a puppy (and how to stop it from running the show)
• The hidden cost of comfort and how to rewire your relationship with rest
• What internal martial arts can teach us about presence, power, and adaptability
• Why fascia matters and how tension patterns tell the real story of pain
• How to start listening to your body instead of commanding it

Whether you’re in pain, pushing hard, or simply seeking a deeper connection to yourself, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate invitation to slow down, listen in, and lead from within.
