Men to Mastery Podcast

Want to look better, feel better, move better, and live better and longer? Listen up! Research indicates that Keto slows aging, accelerates weight loss, reduces inflammation, turbo-charges the immune system, and increases mental clarity and energy levels. Chef Alvin Schultz personally lost 125 pounds and joins the show to talk about his incredible physical and mental transformation and his business helping others do the same.

Today’s episode is a checkpoint and a call to action. We take a few minutes to reflect on each of the interviews from the last 2 months and a sampling of the interesting take-aways from those guests. If you are curious and motivated and ready and want to make some changes of your own, then this one is for you.

Global leader in the Krav Maga community, author, entrepreneur, and coach Chief CJ Kirktalks about real world self-defense and the doorway to training and self-improvement in all areas of life. We touch on biological initiative, moral obligation to one's unique purpose, the power of service to others, and how tragedy and adversity in life can and will lead to equally opposite positive experiences. Chief Kirk also talks about the epidemic plaguing modern life in America and other first-world countries. We discuss the importance and the benefit of training to overcome stress and fear and to develop a habit of making powerful decisions.

This week we chat with Collin Naylor, founder of The Dad Cast podcast. Collin is on a mission to optimize his day and learn and share ways to be the best possible version of himself as a man, husband, and father. The purpose of his podcast is to lead from the front in those very important pursuits.

Right on time for the 75th anniversary of Operation Neptune – the World War II Allied forces D-Day invasion of Normandy – the Man of Mastery podcast has the distinct pleasure of speaking with Steve Snyder, author of Shot Down about the valor, dedication, and determination of the Greatest Generation.

Navy SEAL veteran Brian Dougherty talks about his newest venture the Declan James Watch company. His start-up provides great context for a discussion around differentiators in an extremely competitive business, the critical importance of relationships.

This week we continue the talk with Mike Herzog, corporate and individual Coach and Founder of Life Design Center, and dig deeper into tips, techniques, and the value of coaching for difficult endeavors – whether it’s holding an extended meditation pose or undertaking an intense physical crucible.

Building on last week’s part 1 episode, we learn about the extended fast that was part of Mike’s Vision Quest and anecdotal insights from a SEALFit training class, the Bataan Death March event, and a 24-hour Krav Maga crucible.

Mike Herzog, corporate and individual Coach and Founder of Life Design Center, joins us to talk about the rich learning opportunities to be found when life throws us into the wilderness, be it literally or figuratively. We discuss the importance of designing to undertake crucible events and why the study of martial arts provides the right combination of immersion, physicality, structure, and deep presence to foster meaningful growth.

As always, we draw back to actionable information on where to start, finding a coach, and how this type of work can yield surprising benefits.

Andrew Clark, Co-Founder of Boochcraft, visits to talk about life, self-mastery, and fatherhood in the context of founding a, now three-year-old, brewery of California’s first alcoholic kombucha beverage.

Today, we discuss infusing a brand with feeling, setbacks and serendipity, facing fear, and knowing your why.

Today we kick off with the first episode of the Man of Mastery podcast where we will help unlock the secrets of elite-level life performance – align happiness, fulfillment, health, wellness, productivity, and peace. Succeed harmoniously in family, relationships, career, finance, fitness, emotional control, and mental toughness. Discover and live your unique, authentic purpose. We are building a movement of men looking to learn and optimize how they show up every day, to join a new peer group of high achievers, and challenge and hold each other accountable to grow.
