BreakThrough Strength and Performance
This is an impromptu episode. The original concept is from Bishop (Pastor) TD Jakes. It is on identifying the 3 people in our lives. Identifying the 3 people in our lives and relating powerfully is directly related to how we see our Identity vs. our Roles.
The 3 People in our Lives:
Confidantes
Constituents
Comrades.
Each plays a very different role (not good or bad, just different), but how we see ourselves, can truly change the interaction. In this episode we explore why knowing who you are (identity) is critical and why believing your role (what you do) is who you are, can really impact your relationships as well as mental and emotional strength.

In this episode of the Courage Corner we mine some of the nuggets out of our conversation with Levi Markwardt (episode 5). While this conversation was chalked full of wisdom and insight, we are going to dial in on 3 that we can utilize to build some "bounce" physically, Spiritually, and relational. The 3 actionable steps from this episode:
Building your Bounce or resiliency is a skill. And Skill takes practice.

On today's episode of Power and Strength Radio, I had the pleasure to visit with someone that I have been a fan of for sometime and engage in some limited conversations over the last few years, Levi Markwardt. Levi is a strength coach and a competitor in Kettlebell Sport in the half marathon snatch event. Last year he competed along with Team USA in Spain along with his two daughters. In a world where everything online says "just give us your best", Levi gets raw and real in this conversation about being a business owner, a coach, an athlete, but also a man being a husband and a dad. We discuss Levi's training philosophy called "harder to kill training" and how that ties into mental toughness as well as the parallels he has found training like this with his strong faith. We really get into some strong talk during this episode, and I feel that we will all leave this conversation empowered and inspired to live real, vulnerable and strong versions of ourselves, not as copies of anyone else.
Some of what we get into during this conversation:

On today's episode of Power and Strength Radio, I had the pleasure of sitting down with and interviewing my good friend Joe Pacheco. Joe is a police officer, Swat team operator and a former Marine. He is also a husband, dad and a man looking to live a flourishing life. Joe was gracious and vulnerable enough to share his story and the strength he gained on the other side of dealing with an addiction to pornography. Here is some of what we talked about today:

One of the most difficult things to do in all of life is being vulnerable, but vulnerability is the soil that cultivates real love and acceptance. While I often share glimpses of my life and story here and there, I have never really taken a dive into alot of the things that I have shaped me into the person I am today. Some of my closest friends know, but many if not most do not. From a poor (financially) upbringing, going off to college to work as a police officer and trainer. Through divorce, wanting to commit suicide, to leaving a job I loved to moving all the way across country to ultimately become a strength and conditioning coach, all of the little detours ultimately led me to my destiny of sharing Strength with others in all of its wonderful facets. The challenges and struggles have culminated in a philosophy I call the Ethos of Strength. It is about expressing and developing strength in a way that honors the entire person. "The body (person) is one piece" - Coach Dan John (emphasis added mine). I hope that this podcast and my story encourage you in the building of your "bounce" - resiliency and how through powerful conversation and the sharing of your story, we can help one another be the best of ourselves.

Welcome to my newest, scariest and most exciting venture, the Power and Strength Radio podcast! My aim with this podcast is to:
- Invite people into powerful conversations with people who are "ordinarily" extraordinary so that we become the strongest, most powerful and vibrant versions of ourselves
- To explore the relationship between the 4 pillars of Strength: Physical, Spiritual, Relational and Mental/Emotional strength. With the goal to help us build our "bounce" (resiliency) so that we are able to handle and thrive with whatever life may be asking us to respond to.
- Provide a place to share stories from other brothers and sisters of strength so that we not only get to know them better, but that through that sharing, we may see the strength and power in our story, giving others the permission to live their strength in a way that strengthens all of us.
I am beyond excited to be sharing this podcast with all of you. Feel free to drop me a line on Instagram, etc with your requests for podcast topics and interview subjects.
