Mark Metry Show

Some people spend years repeating affirmations in front of the mirror or trying to change how they think about themselves through their thoughts but this is only one part of the equation.

You must literally change what your brain matter is made from in order to change how your mind executively functions...

LYRICS
Walking through
walking through
the rows
Walking through
when no one else knows

they don’t know what we been through
now I'm on a podcast with in-q
watch us grow at last into what we meant to,
be

watch us grow like a seed
ditch the illusions that they feed us,
living in a world where we grew up as rejects, tried to tell ‘em our truth but they say it’s too esoteric,

global pandemic caused another epidemic
of mental health, problems, that came in our minds just to rob em, and haunt em, and put ‘em at rock bottom

nervous system tweaking out
had to go below the surface just to figure it out
had to take what I thought,
what I felt, but what I’m not
but what I meant
and put it all back into art

all the pain and frustrations, in my heart~
I thought I lost myself due to complications in my mark
had to spend a couple months, by myself in the dark

I started writing poems
started speaking with the poets
all of a sudden I see how my whole mind opens
creativity, wit the flow
maturity is when you know
when to let it go

stand in the darkness,
light it up by being honest
like In-Q and I are artists
(yeah)
we create because it's cathartic
(yeah)
even when life gets the hardest
(yeah)
you gotta look at yourself and go even harder
(yeah)

LYRICS
let's go back to 2016
when I had nothing, left but a still silent dream
wait no, plenty of hate though
nothing but a scream, lacking dopamine,
I was lackin’ couldn't see how the scene, you know what I mean?

pondering who to call
wandering in the halls
read an article on meditation
knew I had to start small

oh wait no
I am no hippie
don’t got time to sit down with me
searching everywhere for happiness
but they tell me to go within me

But when I sit down
I feel like a clown
feel like my worst self
comes out
feels like I got nothing left to give, what a drought
sometimes I want to be out, of this earth,
when it feels like I ain’t got no worth

but then I realize
that’s just a story
in my mind replaying sometimes
it can get gory
but I can rewrite, the same damn story
to empower me, on the inside and give me some glory

sit down
find your truth
meditation, good for you
breath it in and out like you always gotta do
if you keep going, you gonna make it through
you gonna make it through

I promise you, we all tryin’ to do it now
if you’d seen what we went through you would ask, me how?
I don’t even know anymore think it’s God power, when it gets sweet and sour, I be grounded like a flower

now I’m on the beat with Pandit
spitting knowledge to you like we metaphysically hand it
didn’t know if meditation would work for me
but we ran it, 6 years later, yeah we fans of it
yeah we ain't got no plans to quit

now you listening to the mark metry show
better drop that ego
better drop it to let it go
cuz you know where we gotta go

there ain't no room for that
just a ton of impact
you better go, get it going on your path

LYRICS
what's it mean to sell your soul?
never been on honor roll
never done what I was told
never stopped when I had to go

big tech wants you to scroll
want you sacrifice your goals
drownin’ under the bridge
but you can't afford the toll
huh?

inflation causin’ inflammation
why they afraid of immigration
why they afraid of this generation
went from degenerates, bottom of the nation
to awesome heroes who stopped getting complacent
we mastered motivation

throwback to the days before the magic,
it's bleeding everywhere there’s just pain jabbing it
days dreaming like I gotta have it
cuz even if they laugh at it
years later
I'm laughing at them cuz I grabbed it
they stalled they soul and they trapped it

and me?
I'm searching for a change
in a world, where my brain had me estranged
With (the) change and mark metry
searching for a century

I thinkin I fell down so many freakin’ times

I'm thinkin’ Imma damaged man now
dunno how I can stick to managin’ the whole freakin’ plan now
I’m tryna to be a 1% status man, oh wait I am
tryna run to get out of my rut with my boy captain sinbad

LYRICS

getting these, vitamin d’s & omega 3’s
serotonin not free,
trying to level up my frozen brain
with nutritional psychiatry

woah
throwback to the days
fueled with nothing but Lays
we didn’t get back then,
cuz the only thing that we had was chocolate glazed

but now
we eat to beat depression and anxiety
but when we livin a modern society
that beats and poisons us quietly,
neurotransmitters firing tirelessly

anxiety jitters it’s making us bitter,
I whip out the strength I had to survive the winter,

but I, but I, but it feels like I can’t though

tryna to eat more plants that grow
tryna do this to help out my depressed bro
that fell down a dark hole
ive been there, I lost control, too
let’s change what’s in your bowl and the blues

change your life
how
change your mindset
how
change your beliefs
how
change the way that you
breathe n eat right now

why?
because what you consume
on the daily, creates your mood
mainly,
you eat the green beans or the cake that's tasty

but Doctor Drew Ramsey
helped me ditch the candy
help me be the man I knew I can be
grew up eating fish filet,
now I'm eating steak filet mignon,
cuz I switched the demons up for reasons

Quentin you were there for me
even when my own mind was closed
we rushin’ n burnin’ da boats

what a misfit, with da black outfit
from Milwaukee to CO, he it
experimenting around, but he never quits,
he da best in town, wherever he goes,
Denver with the girl he chose,
inspiring me to be da podcast host
that I wanna be the most

Join me and my guest Josh Perry, 5x Brain Tumor Survivor & Former Professional Athlete in a conversation about how to upgrade your reality at every level despite horrendous setbacks and failures. Whether it's a cancer diagnosis or facing anxiety this episode is for you!

Josh Perry was born and raised in Cape Cod, MA. His father bought him his first BMX bike when he was just a kid and it almost immediately consumed his life. Josh worked tirelessly at perfecting his craft while his mother drove him all over the country for camps, sessions and competitions.

At 17 years old Josh was given an opportunity to train with the best of the best, and though it was thousands of miles from home and he had not yet graduated high school, he didn't think twice and moved to Greenville, NC. Josh moved up to the professional level of competition quickly and was riding Dew Tours, X-Games and competing internationally at the highest possible level.

​Josh felt as if everything he had been working for his entire life, and everything he had dreamed about was playing out in front of his eyes. He was only 21 years old and felt like he had everything. But, after a nasty crash, his life was threatened.

Josh had hit his head and went to a local urgent care to make sure something more serious wasn't happening. He had no damage from the crash, but there was a brain tumor taking up the left half of his brain.

Immediate surgical removal was necessary. Josh came out okay and defied all odds by getting back on his bike only five weeks later.

That was in 2010. Now, almost a decade later Josh's life has shifted in some wonderful and very unexpected ways. After two more brain tumor diagnosis, he began researching health and nutrition. He was determined to prioritize his health and take the longevity of his life and the vitality of his brain into his own hands. As he progressed, he became passionate about helping others optimize their health and performance in all areas of life including career, relationships, and physical health.

As the passion to support others grew, and after a third brain tumor diagnosis, Josh got really clear on his higher purpose in life and left BMX competition to start his business speaking around the world and coaching entrepreneurs, athletes, executives, and organizations. Josh became certified through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as a health coach, became certified through Ketogenic.com as a Keto Specialist, has become well versed in Neuro Linguistic Programming, read countless research articles, stacks of books and communicated with every expert he could.

On August 26th, 20201, Josh went into awake craniotomy surgery to remove yet another tumor that had grown and was causing seizures. Thanks to Dr. Q at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, and awake craniotomy, Dr.Q was able to remove the new tumor and ALL the other tumors resulting in Josh being tumor FREE for the first time in 12 years.

All of Josh's research led him to cultivating a life where consciousness, love, health and happiness are his first priority. He takes full responsibility for his mental and physical state of being and he feels like a healthier, happier and more productive individual because he prioritizes his brain health.

Josh's goal is to share knowledge that he has gained with anyone who is ready to CHANGE! He wants the world to know how good they can feel by prioritizing their well being and making simple changes. He will do this continuously and tirelessly through supporting others to become empowered to consciously design their lives by optimizing their health and performance as well as public speaking, his podcast, and any content he creates.

Josh's goal in life is to impact the world the most positive way and leave it better, stronger and healthier than when he came into it.

Today, Josh has become an optimization strategist - helping people optimize their mindset, health and performance, an international speaker, Host of The Grey Matters Podcast, and published author sharing how chasing his dream saved his life, showed him the courage, strength and resilience we all possess when we tap into our true SELF, and how BMX led him to his true purpose in life which is to serve others in a way that gets YOU to be unstuck in your life, overcome your circumstances, and become empowered to create your IDEAL life.

As a multiple brain tumor survivor and former professional athlete, Josh is a living example of what optimizing one's mindset can do in progressing to the next level in one's life whether it be their career, physical health, relationships, or education and my clients experience this for themselves, too.

Josh has devoted his life to sharing his belief that we are all capable of changing aspects of ourselves and our lives, despite any circumstance we find ourselves in, to live the most ideal life we envision for ourselves and helping people build and implement strategies to do so.

LYRICS

Josh Perry & Mark Metry
we was told, when we was old
on entry when born
we would never be nothin’
now we uplevel to somethin’
but now we gold, and on this road
of untold. success
what a controlled mess

but we survived, with da brain flow
fear is just a thought
but I thought, I arrived though
and you thought you arrived too
and when you ride, on that bike, that BMX life
-had to whip out that gamma knife
screw you cancer get out my life

I wish we met sooner Josh,
unlike that brain tumor, brain wash
chasing time, like it’s my watch
but I don't wanna watch
I wanna put my mind away
I know for a little bit it's okay

but don't be out
step by step, I’m breakin’ it down,
Josh’s coaching helps, you not break down,
he helped me with my mental health
now
I feel like I gotta gift too
to give back to the world,
it's bigger than me n you
but I see it, in both me n you

no it's not, it's not just about the mindset,
but my guy the best, he got da hind sight
when you pressed
you can go to Josh Perry to help you nonetheless

plot out 7 seven moves ahead like chess
pick up the pen and pad and get it off your chest

now open that mind
we got Josh on as a guest
and what you'll find
is a mind well designed
now open those eyes
this the mark Metry show
without further adieu
and let's go
