Malc 'n Beans

I just went to A1 for the first time in years... The feeling of reconnecting with a sport, lifestyle & community that I’ve dedicated so much of my life to was unreal

💭 Activating my passion for helping others by partnering with Road 2 Recovery for a 25th anniversary Mendid collab collection

💭 The collection will be sold at every Supercross race, all proceeds give back to injured athletes

💭 Road 2 Recovery has raised over $10M to support athletes overcoming life-changing circumstances

💭 Jimmy Button & I have been friends for nearly 30 years. He’s dedicated his life to moto & turned his own challenges into a drive to help others

💭 Uniting Mendid & Road 2 Recovery to support Matt Buyten inspired me to dive deeper into giving back

💭 Moto Raised Me: Whether you love moto, F1, or any sector of motorsports, it’s all about the adrenaline of friendship, family & community…

💭 Life works the best when friendship comes together

💭 Thanks to everyone supporting Mendid & grabbing the limited McGrath ’93 drop!

💭 McGrath won the big bike class in 1993 & became the Michael Jordan of the sport, dominating for a decade

💭 The '93 gear is about believing in yourself, past, present, future & staying on the mend

💭 Mendid’s about truly discovering yourself so you can take that uniqueness & be a grateful thread to others 

💭 The army of superstar kids wearing the ’93 kit… Darren Pine, Raycin Kyler, Rydin Williams, Oneway Lilman, Baby D Blocks, Nolan Cobb, Carter Holmes & more…

💭 It’s insane to see how McGrath’s influence still resonates & inspires today

💭 Saw so many people at A1: Roland Sands, Sal Masekela, Dave Castillo, Riley Harper, Davey Coombs, Scott Sepkovic, McGrath, the list goes on

As I transparently stay on the mend, I hope it inspires you to do the same. Here’s to a fresh week — 7 days to focus on bettering & discovering who we truly are

I took some time to enjoy the holidays, but the beans must continue…

190’s all about valuing yourself & being comfortable with life’s uncomfortable realities

💭 We’re all gonna die, but are we all actually gonna live?

💭 What would it be like to TRULY live?

💭 GO WITH YOUR GUT

💭 Value yourself, your time, your gifts

💭 We’re not meant to know everything, but to grow through everything

💭 Looking at 365 days on a calendar & how quickly it really goes

💭 Everything in life is a stepping stone

💭 Are we truly leveraging our gifts?

💭 We have all these pieces, but are we building the right puzzle?

💭 How much suffering I’ve inflicted on myself by not truly fixing situations or things I may have bottled up

💭 Everything can be good or evil, it’s all about how you perceive it

💭 Knowledge without positioning it & putting it into motion is just info…

💭 Build a system for yourself, but don’t box yourself

💭 Pain is real, grieving is real. All of those dark points are pieces of the ladder

💭 Once you climb enough through the hardships you see a light you’ve never seen before

💭 Are you fine with how you see yourself?

Me, you, all of us — stop bottling things up. It’s time to breathe again, to thrive again. Go after what’s truly yours, at the pace that’s right for YOU…

189’s a full spill on friendship, bonding, respect, integrity, values, aaaaand dips into a special product announcement.. 

This is 1 episode you’re gonna wanna watch alllll the way through 

💭 The chills I felt watching Jeremy McGrath pack arenas for a decade

💭 We debuted our McGrath 93 gear at Mini O’s — Dropping as a full kit VERY soon on mendid.com

💭 Launching a collector’s series SMX Jerseys x Mendid x McGrath collab jersey TODAY!

💭 The full circle of working with Lieb, McGrath & everyone.. That’s what becoming Mendid truly embodies

💭 Josh Rogers is a legend for articulating, bringing back & adding a twist to the 93/94 Sinisalo moment when McGrath’s legacy first started

💭 This jersey not only connects with a generation that got to see him live, but a gen inspired by the greats

💭 The dawn of a new era — Pursuing your dreams to set benchmarks that empower the next generation to learn, grow, and elevate to new heights

💭 The MDMX am team is absolutely lethal… Pine, Raycin, Rydin, Holmes, Buckman, Lil Ese, Cobb, Westbrook, the list goes on

💭 Good compounds good

💭 McGrath reflects the power of chasing dreams & living with integrity

💭 McGrath became 1 of my closest friends & a groomsman at my wedding

💭 Officially launched Mendid last year as a way of building a business with & for my daughter 

💭 Mendid means so much more now than it ever has

💭 McGrath is an iconic example of what Mendid is all about

💭 Start now, live your life to the fullest & stay on the mend with what’s important to you

I appreciate every single one of you & I’m so excited to continue growing Mendid together. 2025 is gonna be bananas…

188 pays respect to one of the greatest to ever do it — Ken Block, and the principles he continues to instill in us all

💭 Ken is an insane example of impact, legacy, trials & unwavering belief

💭 Ken showed us that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, but you can’t hold back

💭 Seeing Lucy & Lia continue to carry on Ken’s legacy is FOREVER inspirational

💭 Life’s challenging, but when you can do what you love & make your own noise, that’s when its beauty kicks in

💭 A degree doesn’t make you, the degree in which you believe in yourself does

💭 Choose to be optimistic, or else you’ll get stuck in the thick of it

💭 Are you spending too much time in a lane that has nothing to do with who you wanna become?

💭 I love everything about building again 

💭 My life has never been about money

💭 The past few months felt like I was breaking inside, but staying optimistic, pushing through & leveling up my health brought the light back

💭 Falling down in life is painful, but everything you go through adds up to create a champion

💭 Celebrate the hard moments—put them to rest & move forward

💭 Prayers always to the Block family, grateful for the inspiration gained by knowing Ken & all the greats around him

I choose to spread love because I know what it’s like to feel like nobody’s there for you… As the new year approaches, stay patient, Believe, reflect & ask yourself: What am I truly chasing? 🫡

187 is all about perspective—looking outward, inward & continually mending our thoughts to align with the best version of ourselves.

💭 How you feel inside reflects what you’re gonna portray to others

💭 Embrace confidence in how God created you, using this poised position to deliver excellence through the highs & lows

💭 When you’re feeling good you look at others with a higher energy

💭 It’s easy to go through life & let another year become another year…

💭 I’m on the mend heavily right now, realigning my focus

💭 Make sure your internal drip is tight

💭 It’s VITAL to truly go through whatever we have to, to get aligned

💭 It’s even easier to judge when we’re going through things because we magnify & pull others into our struggles

💭 I was born to spread love

💭 I wanna see everybody be good with how they’re looking on the inside

Appreciating gains value… Embrace who you are, share it with the world & let's make the end of the year truly awesome

As we gear up for 2025 & even just another day, I encourage you to spread blessings, figure out your program, & take a moment to BREATHE!

You’ve got this & I’m always just a DM away…

If this episode doesn’t prove that Malc n Beans is completely uncut, I don’t know what will…

186 explores the fine line between inspiration & over-dictation, while reminding you that your unique gifts can’t be boxed into a dictionary definition.

💭 The brand doesn’t make you, you make the brand

💭 Pull inspiration from brands, but don’t get stuck in a place where you’re letting false idols dictate who you are

💭 The Bible has become my foundation for everything

💭 Brands are a use of materials that connect with you

💭 Mendid is constantly getting defined as I continue to mend myself

💭 Real impact comes from being selfless & helping others

💭 In order to become, you have to continuously explore

💭 Systems can be needed, but they can also be very disruptive, take away gifts & make you think you don’t belong

💭 Without movement you can’t have momentum — Without momentum, everything starts to add up

💭 Mendid is a community that happens to make products

💭 The words will always be there, but the gift is you, the gift is diving in…

💭 Introvert or extrovert? Just go out, be extra & see what it converts into

💭 Gotta keep moving, no matter your age

💭 Don’t let words define you, define who are you are & the words will come that help explain, amplify & take you to that next level

If there's 1 thing you take away from this episode, let it be this:

It’s never too late. Breathe. And remember, maybe you’re different for a reason…

I got choked up in part 1 & left out something key, so had to come back with part 2…

💭 I’m SO grateful that Chris, Tina & the family let me use the back of their rig to say my goodbyes to my dad over FaceTime 

💭 The hug from the entire family meant more than they know

💭 Thankful for the combined love from the Buckman family

💭 Part of this Mendid journey is understanding that you’re NOT alone

💭  Embrace every moment — The power of the moment is everything

💭 “Moto raised me” is an understatement

💭 Pick up the phone, call your people, always put the love out there…

💭 Never forget those that are unselfishly there for you

💭 There’s power within community, friendship & surrounding yourself with good people

As you navigate through life, remember there’s someone who loves you EVERY step of the way while you’re on the mend…

DM me anytime — If I’m delayed in responding, I apologize, but I’ll always do my best to get back to you

I’ve felt a lot of darkness these last few weeks.. 185 is a vulnerable look into it all & a reminder that grieving is a necessary part of growth

💭 Getting the news that my dad passed away while I was at Mini O’s

💭 My dad dreamed so big that sometimes it was hard to keep up

💭 Grieving never really has to stop because it’s a celebration through the highs & lows

💭 My dad launched Jonathan Smith winery with Lil Jon

💭 Not knowing what to do with my emotions & getting lost in bottling up all of the overflow

💭 By 32 my dad had 3 albums, 4 restaurants, is tied to the roots of FMF & has the inside break at Swami’s in San Diego named after him

💭 My dad owned 2 successful tracks, Star West & Competition Park & was always taking care of the community

💭 Grieve, but never leave grace

💭 Grateful I got to see all of my family in California

💭 Stay on the mend until the end — On the mend isn’t perfect, perfect is the benchmark of what we all think we have to be 

💭 God intended us to be perfect in his light & our truth

💭 God infused this gift in me to spread the love

💭 I can’t thank everyone enough for their support during this time

💭 Grieving never has to stop, but you need to find channels to open up

💭 The feeling of losing my grandma during the pandemic 

💭 Keep dreaming! If something’s in your heart, carry it with you & trust your gut to guide the way

I know times may be tough, but it's vital to share what's on your mind. Today I’m encouraging you to find a away to let it all out 🫶

Part 2 on the way…

Nope that’s not a typo… 184’s all about suckcess & embracing what it takes on the long road to our dreams that’s paved with belief

💭 Sometimes you need a front row seat on the struggle bus

💭 Get comfortable with the rough roads in between

💭 Snuggle with the moments that are a little uncomfortable, get okay with the fact that it’s part of your journey

💭 To become the best you must suck enough to hone in, harness your skills, sharpen your sword & keep believing

💭 CONSISTENCY

💭 Launching a business is easy, the hard work comes after

💭 What it took the greats to become the greats: Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed, Kevin Windham, Jeremy McGrath…

💭 Keep sucking, keep trying, stay consistent & eventually everything aligns if you put in the hard work

💭 Be willing to suck enough times to have that success

💭 My deep belief in what Mendid’s gonna do & how it’s so much bigger than an apparel company…

💭 Believe enough to push through those heavy times to accomplish everything you’re completely deserving of

💭 The cycle I learned racing MX as a kid: Starting in the beginner class, rising to the top, then dropping to the bottom of the next class

Breathe… If you don’t know who you are, it’s time to discover and embrace your gift—then align everything around you to reach your destination 🫡

If I didn’t keep these transparent, I don’t know if I’d actually be providing value…

183 keeps transparency at the forefront as I, like many of you, continue to push through life’s ups & downs

💭 Mendid Vision: God positioned a vision for all of us & sometimes we fight it

💭 If you believe in your vision & you’re going after it, stay on it

💭 The difference one deep breath can make

💭 If I'm not real & working on myself, how can I tell you to do the same?

💭 Prayers for health & for everybody to push through their circumstances

💭 My gift of IQ meets EQ 

💭 Don’t lose track of your vision

💭 My pillars: Faith, Family, Health

💭 If you think you could be the problem, you probably are

💭 Anyone running or starting a business: Keep pushing & add that heartbeat

💭 Being a father is the best gift in the entire world

💭 My dream is to have everything functioning so well that I’m able to bring my family everywhere

💭 Don’t lose that “one day” dream

💭 When it’s hard & all you see is clouds & can’t find the ray of light, that’s the reminder to breathe

💭 Taking care of your outer appearance is great, but how’s your inside?

💭 Learn, soak up & just believe

Today I’m encouraging you to stay on your mendid vision… Hard times, transitional points, in betweens, that’s when it’s the darkest, but you have to breathe & keep on pushing through… You’ve got this 🙏
