Men to Mastery Podcast

Josh Guerrero is an archeologist, philanthropist, veteran of the Marine Corps and Peace Corps, and versatile traveler and adventurer intent on making the most of his time on this wonderful planet. A two week study abroad in Japan as a young student ignited Josh’s love of international travel and a desire to see much more of the world. Since then he’s done two stints as an expatriate – in The Gambia, West Africa for two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and one year in England as a graduate student.

Josh joins the show to share some of his greatest travel moments, meals, inspirations, lessons, and failures. He also reveals the details of his next great adventure and fund-raising effort to empower veterans with a new team and mission.

Kam Knight shares the biology behind fear and other emotions, the power of mental images, and the hard-wired challenges to concentration and memory. In addition to the background, he provides techniques to harness fear, to use visualization more powerfully than willpower, to convince our brains to concentrate, to solidify memories and practice recollection, and speed reading for faster learning.

Kam is a coach, speaker, and author of several best-selling books in the area of mental performance such as memory, concentration, and productivity. Over the past 15 years he has dedicated his life to understanding the secrets of the mind and how to optimize its performance.

John visits the show to share more about his success-built-on-failure journey that led to Relentless MV and where it is going (literally) in the future.

Mark Divine is the New York Times best-selling author of Unbeatable Mind. In his newest book, Mark reveals and drills into the seven key principles it takes to foster and lead elite teams. He shares lessons learned in his own businesses and on the battle-field to apply to top-tier teams. I’m honored that Mark, as one of my coaches, offered the opportunity of a pre-read of this one a couple months ahead of time. And I’m pleased to bring it to you and share an early preview.

This week is a really fun look at all the good, bad, and ugly of Spartan Race 2019 and with excitement at the start of the 2020 race season just days away.

Chad Zueck is the founder of A New Kind of Man podcast and community. We reconnect in Part 2 of this episode to explore the 4 Pillars underlying the mentoring and coaching that Chad offers his tribe and now more broadly through the launch of his new podcast. Timed with wrapping up 2019, we take the opportunity to cover the importance of big, scary goals and share a few of ours from the years past and upcoming. In talking about goals and growth, Chad shares more about each of his pillars and how hiding in our strengths can neglect other developmental needs, ultimately undermining pursuit of purpose and meaning. #getafterit

Kyle Maynard is a record-setting mountaineer, weight-lifter, and martial artist. He has traveled the world extensively. He’s an ambassador for multiple non-profits, a best-selling author, entrepreneur, recipient of numerous awards, and speaker to Fortune 500 companies and recently to the United Nations. Not bad…How about doing it all before the age of 35 and having been born as a congenital quad-amputee? Kyle shares how his parents enabled him for life, how repeated failures became a foundation for success, and a few of his favorite mindset tricks and mantras. Beyond the accolades, Kyle takes us into a deeper discussion on the future of society and humanity and why getting uncomfortable to grow should include the comfort zones of our belief systems.

Shawn Bucher, The Business Chef, joins the show to discuss innovation, success, and failure in the context of one of the toughest industries around – food service. High stress, long hours and holidays, a physically demanding environment, customer expectations, and constant staff turnover make it very challenging to lead effectively, foster business partnerships, and turn a profit.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This is a special, holiday solo-cast to take time out and not only express gratitude but to dive into ways to foster and express gratitude, bring it into a daily routine, and to build upon consistent daily action to set and achieve big, audacious, scary and seemingly impossible goals. We take time in this episode to roll out What Am I Reading?, to highlight a few valuable new product and service partnerships that may be useful in your training, and to preview upcoming book pre-read episodes, a behind-the-scenes series, and future podcast collaborations.
