On this episode, I sit down with World Master's Weightlifting Champion, multi-facility CrossFit owner, and good friend, James Ellis, to record a deep and lengthy conversation out in my barn.

Despite achieving such high accolades and accomplishments, it seems these might be the least interesting things about him. After joining us at our second Legion of Savage Gentlemen Event, James shares some of his takeaways from the experience and we discuss his expertise in building a community (among many other things).

It's pretty wild ride, full of insight and inside jokes that highlight the fact that there is strength in numbers...if we are willing to be open enough to allow others to walk close enough beside us along our journey.

Episode #75 | Strength in Numbers with James Ellis

In this long overdue special episode, we sit down with Dr. Josh Sharpe and have a live discussion on the evolution of Savage Gentleman as an idea, a company, and a way of life. 

We delve into the process of becoming a Savage Gentleman through experience and intention. He and I discuss how a man can cultivate both his Savage and Gentleman sides to reach the full potential of who he was created to be. 

Towards the end, we open up the floor for some Q&A and dive into the body - mind - spirit cycle. We touch on how this progression inspires and guides the process of becoming a Savage Gentleman and how it has become the thesis for our live experiences within the Legion of Savage Gentlemen.

Episode #74 | The Process of Becoming a Savage Gentleman

What would it be like to suddenly flee your home and seek refuge in a new town with complete strangers? 

How would you cope with the physical and emotional stress of being the one your family looks to for protection from the imminent danger of war?

Recently, I had the unique opportunity to speak with a young man who is living this experience right now in Ukraine. 

Our friend "Nick" joins us for a powerful discussion on his current situation there, and shares some of the mental and emotional struggles he is currently facing.

We talk about the strategies he has put to use to help him manage living through a war, as well as the valuable lessons he is learning about himself and human nature.

Episode #73| Living Through the War in Ukraine

In today's modern world, more and more of our time and attention is demanded of us. We are told from every direction how to think, what to buy, and where to look.

And if we aren't careful, we can get so caught up in the noise and static that surrounds us, that our lives drift past without us realizing.  

To prevent this, our guest Ryan Michler sets boundaries in all aspects of his life. From his commitment to his own podcast, to allotting time for his family, to practicing his own personal development, he creates certain "non-negotiables" that form a boundary around his time and attention. 

In this episode, we talk about this process and how it allows him to maintain a healthy family/work balance in his own business, Order of Man. He also speaks to using boundaries in one's principles, to maintain your honor and integrity.

Episode #72 | Setting Boundaries with Ryan Michler

UFC Hall of Famer, former Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight World Champion, Randy Couture, joined us for some heavy hitting life lessons he's learned over the years. 

Making the transition from Army Veteran, to Collegiate Wrestler, to UFC fighter, to blockbuster actor, Randy talks about learning to find his purpose moving from one era in his life to the next. 

We talk about how he uses his "wrestler's mindset" to navigate through difficult times and how finding a likeminded community is so important for men.
