Checking in from the road on this mini Bar C.O.D.E Collective Podcast as The Van gets it first test out in the wilderness.

Shout out to @alohamaddie for the impromptu guest appearance and putting out the fires while we're away!

We all make mistakes, some of the mistakes land us in prison. Often times its simply a stroke of sheer luck that allows most of us to never get caught.

Nathaniel, made some poor choices growing up which ultimately led him to serve over 10 years in prison. It wasn't until Nathaniel took responsibility for his actions and ownership over his life that things started to turn around from him. 

When he was finally released from prison he took work where he could while he figured out what life was going to be like on the outside. With a strong desire for more, he pursued personal training certifications. Eventually, he found a studio willing to rent him space to train and now he is one of Nashville's most sought after personal trainers.

Tom Jones is a REAL WORLD SUPERHERO. He has been called the Worlds Greatest Athlete that you have never heard of. Here are just a few of his accolades; top graduate in a class of 12,000 Marine boot-camp trainees; 4th degree black belt; seven-time Thai kickboxing world champion; world’s most consecutive daily marathons (121, a record since broken), several longest-distance stand-up paddling records, including 1,507 miles from Key West to New York in 2010.

What is even more impressive is that he has accomplished many of those feats for the sole intention of bringing awareness to the global issue of Single-Use Plastic and creating a cultural movement to stop ocean plastic at its source!

Mark...The Bodyguard joins the Bar C.O.D.E Collective to share his story about surviving a rough childhood to now being the one that A-List celebrities call on to keep them safe.

His father instigated his first fight for him at the age of 6 for the sole purpose of him to take a beating and learn what that feels like at an early age. Mark won that fight and found his fists to be the first tool in his tool kit.

As life went on and other challenges presented themselves. Mark adapted and gained new tools, the ability to de-escalate and also a mindset to overcome, turning him into the professional he is today. 

If you have any questions for Mark email [email protected] and we'll get you in touch.
