If you’ve ever wondered, “What does a personal trainer do in isolation?” This might be the episode for you. If not, then just listen because he talks about a few things that personal trainers don’t really ever speak publicly about.

We also dive into a bit of what happened during this “The C Word”. I’ll treat this as a time capsule of sorts for the future Master of Some to look back on and go “Oh, that’s what we were thinking”

This episode was an interesting one with fitness/nutrition coach and wellness habits trainer, John Fawkes over in Los Angeles California.

This was actually an accidental recording where I kept the tape rolling at the end of a different interview (which is part of a bigger project that I may release in the future)

Who is John Fawkes you might ask?

He’s a writer and a personal trainer from Hollywood, California. He coaches people on diet and exercise who really want to get into the best shape of their lives. 

He is an NSCA certified personal trainer, a precision nutrition certified nutrition coach and Bayesian bodybuilding personal training certified.

He strives takes a science based approach to coaching and personalizes it to the individual.

This short episode is an experiment of sorts called Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.

In our spare time we naturally talk about fitness, wellness, finance and the self improvement that we gain from all of those things. Those conversations sparked the framework for this episode and series.

Hopefully you can learn a bit from our personal lives to apply it to your own life and get more healthy, more wealthy, and more wise.

There is a chance we might extend this out past Phil and me and look to get other health, fitness and self improvement junkies on board to talk some sh*t about their own health, wealth, and wise journeys.

Phil goes into detail about his diet to get back from a cold (non Covid-19/Coronavirus related), his remote pivot with his new business (This Thing of Ours), and is interested in talking more about mental health and thinkings about their thoughts and feelings around the anxiety with Covid-19/Coronavirus pandemic.

Daren talks about his 5K DIY race changeup when the pandemic first struck, tries somewhat timed the market okay to save his a$$, and thinks about how his reaction to Covid-19 is similar to doing an Ironman Triathlon (Spoiler: He wants to say he got through it just fine)

As the end of the year approaches most of us will likely start reflecting on the year that was and set new goals or “resolutions” for the year that is to come. Well, we’re taking you back to what we think is an important concept that will help you achieve your new year goals and live a joyous and full life.

In this episode, we revisit Stoicism. Stoicism is a philosophy dating back centuries and is still very relevant to today’s living. It is the flip side of what you all know as goal setting but presents another angle towards reaching your objectives in the new decade.

Stoicism and fear setting in particular are cool models and lenses to run things through and even see what didn't work for the year so that you can plan to avoid those things moving into the new year.

It would be awesome if you could subscribe, like and share our podcast. You can hear us on Apple podcast, Spotify, Stitcher and Acast. We’re also active on all of our socials @masterofsomepod (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) so please give us a follow, like, comment if you enjoy what we do. 

Also, all the cool music you hear in this episode is created by Daren. Check out all his tunes here. 

QUOTES

20:08 - "Stoicism, at its heart, we don't control the world around us but we do control how we react to it." - Phil Cross

22:06 - "The joy in doing things is in the suffering and the happiness." - Daren Lake

42:47 - "To be a philosopher is not merely to have several thoughts, nor even to found a school, it is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically but practically. So stoicism is intended as a practical philosophy...fear setting it’s a mechanism for practically thinking through something and enhancing your life and dealing with problems." - Phil Cross

Welcome to Season 3 of the Master of Some! We’re kicking this season off with an interview Daren had with Max Fennell, the first professional African-American triathlete.

Being a triathlete himself, Daren was excited to talk to Max about all things triathlon and endurance but they also delve into racial issues in the triathlete community, Max’s collegiate career in soccer and coaching fencing, being a coffee entrepreneur, his secret love of cryptocurrency and blockchain, and more cool things that he has got going on!

NOTABLE QUOTES

12:16 - “I truly believe in being of service to others and that’s how I'm using the sport of triathlon as well.” - Max

10:52 - “The sport of triathlon just really teaches you self, reliance, perseverance, trust, faith right because come race day everyone is under the same race conditions...we can't do it unless we see ourselves doing it.” - Max

How I use heart rate training now as more of a suggestive guide and how you can benefit from it.

Heart rate (HR) training is great for monitoring what's going on from a zoomed out objective point of view. I've found in my experience and through my discovery process (science-backed evidence, my own experience, and talking with experts around me) that it's not so great for knowing precisely what stimulus and stress you are putting on your body to see the gains you might be wanting.

What is Heart Rate Training?

As stated in Runner's world, "Heart-rate training uses your heart rate or beats per minute (bpm) as a guide for intensity. Instead of training at a specific pace, you use a heart-rate monitor to train your cardiorespiratory system to work at a specific effort for a set amount of time."

Age-based formulas, the Maffetone Method, and even going out and doing a max heart rate test are the best ways to determine your heart rate zones. You then go out and train in those zones. Depending on your objectives and your fitness level, it's that simple.

Why it didn't work for me

While I did this type of HR training and mainly the Maffetone Method for about 5 years I started realizing a pattern. I

 wasn't actually getting faster at the really fast stuff because I wasn't training hard enough. I'm the first person to say that most people train too hard, but I actually wasn't training hard enough on my hard days to provoke a response and stress my system which in turn, breaks it down and builds it up so I can be [Daft Punk Vocoder Voice] harder, better, stronger, and… faster.

A Pod Paste, DLake Creates, and Cool Black Dudes Radio original investigative story about how a guy's very personal insecurities turned into something WAY BIGGER than his problems.

What turned out to be a quest for me to "get over my issues with my flaccid penis size" ended up becoming a journey that I'm still on to find equality in all of us. While I might be an idealist in my libertarianism (or ist) utopian ways I think there is some truth in people becoming more real and more vulnerable by undressing their fears and inadequacies and showing everyone "hey… maybe my problems aren't as big as I thought".

Welcome to digressions. A new podcast format brought to you by cool black dudes radio. Darren Lake and pod pace. That tells upfront unfiltered and sometimes uncomfortable audio stories and documentaries about racial and race related topics. I'm your host Darren lake. I have always been interested in the human body in particular why we put clothes on and why we aren't naked more like what is actually stopping us from just being naked all the time. I've also been interested in the psychology and social norms around why we as humans do what we do.

The last episode of the season and we finally find out if Phil finished the race and if he finished, did he finish in the time that he wanted?! The story is about co-host Phil's attempt and journey to race and complete a 100km Ultra Marathon trail run in the Blue Mountains, Sydney, Australia.

This is a slightly different type of episode as we time travel yet again but we go back through the past season and his journey and test if our theory's about training for something we've never done would pass or fail.

Listen on to rest to hear about the end of this intense race, lessons learned, and what Phil, Daren, and the Master of Some Podcast are doing moving forward.
