On this episode we chop it up with Eric Garcia the CEO of Fury Fighting Championships and Submission Hunter Pro both of which are featured on the UFC Fight Pass. We were able to glean so much wisdom from this conversation. We chat about everything from the joy that fills his heart when one of his guys make it to the big show and also why a professional fighter should always be ready to take a short notice fight at the drop of a hat. On a sidenote Eric also tells a funny story about a scrap I had gotten into back in elementary school which I was certain everyone had forgotten. Thanks a ton for stopping by the studio and giving us the opportunity at this conversation.

On this episode we chat with Zilla Fatu a young man who is soaring to great heights. Son to the late great Umaga and kin to the Royal Somoan Bloodline. We cover a multitude topics that range from his in ring debut at Booker T's Summer of Champions to wanting to eventually get to a point in his life where he is giving TED Talks.. I am proud of all this young man has accomplished and know it is only the beginning. Thanks Zilla for making time for us at The Be Someone Podcast and I can not wait to see where you career goes.

On this short but sweet episode of the podcast we chat with Mama Fatu, mother of Zilla and wife of the late great Umaga Fatu. This woman has a unique perspective on family life and the pro wrestling business and she was kind enough to share her experiences with us on the pod. One thing is apparent and that is there is nothing stronger than a mothers love, thank you for you time and hope you enjoy this episode of The Be Someone Podcast.

On this episode of the podcast we chat with Oliver and Marc Cohen. Oliver is a young man that I recently got to know via his delivery of one mean sales pitch. I initially had no intention of using anyones services that morning but our man would not take no for an answer. After convincing me that my windows needed washing I was able to strike up a conversation with Oliver and really get to know him. I was becoming very apparent to me that this was not your average 11 year old and that I was dealing with something different. His knowledge of sales and his singleminded focus struck me as different, a 1 of 1 if you will. As someone who works with kids for a living it was quite easy to see that Oliver was operating at a different level. I also brought his father Marc in to pick his brain some and see if this entrepreneurial was born or bread into him. In what had to be one of my more fun conversations we chat with both Oliver and Marc and get to know them a heck of a lot more. Hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast and thank you for listening.

On this very special episode we begin our journey into the video space. A huge thank you to Kiefer Barktek for dropping by and being our first guest in the next phase of this journey. On this episode we talk about the roots of New Texas Pro Wrestling and the next step in their journey building the next generation with their Texas Contenders Series. I wish you much love and continued success with your worthy endeavor and know that you have a friend in me.

On this episode we chat with one of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's finest practitioners and educator Professor Robert Drysdale. Drysdale head instructor at Zenith Jiu Jitsu takes us on a BJJ history journey and sheds some light on its current influence. I must admit there was a lot that I was not aware of and it was refreshing to learn about the current model that Carlson Gracie popularized years ago. We also chat about a number of other topics such as winning the ADCC title and Jiu Jitsu in Mixed Martial Arts. Thanks Robert for stopping by the show and chopping it up with us on The Be Someone Podcast.

On this episode of the podcast we sit and chat with David Reza, a friend of mine from Gracie Barra The Woodlands. I've known Dave for years now but after our conversation I had to step back and ask myself did I really know him. I found out so many interesting things about my buddy, so much makes sense now after our conversation. He really restored faith in my belief of people and how through adversity they can become their best self. He is on the precious of making his pro mma debut after a sparkling run at the amateur level. When he steps inside the cage there is literally nothing his opponent can throw at him that life hasn't tried already. I feel honored that Dave opened up to me and hope you enjoy this wonderful story told first hand by the man who lived it.

On this episode of the pod we chat with Conroe High School senior linebacker Mitch Melton. Mitch was a little late arriving to the party but there is certainly not a lack of dance partners who wish to acquire his football skills. His story is one that demonstrates that the path to our goals is not often a straight line. Whether it be moving from South Texas up to Conroe in hopes of being noticed by the college scouts or switching positions and becoming one of the best linebackers in the state of Texas. One thing is for certain and that is Mitch has been flanked with great role models and coaches along the way. Whether it be Coach Grant of the Fury 7v7 football family or his strong willed mother who made the move to help her son fulfill his potential. I can not say enough good things about the young man and you will just have to give the podcast a listen for yourself. In closing I can sum Mitch up in a few words, he is what happens when a battering ram merges with a super computer... I tell no lies!

On this episode of the pod we sit and chat with Aedan Lewis a high school senior who is looking to fulfill his god given potential. At 6'4 and about 200 lbs Aedan has all the physical attributes one needs to make any big time college program come knocking at the door. He has had to fight through some adversity and rehab from a couple of injuries. At his size and weight Aedan is normally the quickest and fastest on the court or the football field which in itself makes him an intriguing prospect. We chatted with Aedan a little to see his motivations and what he is hoping to do this senior season at Lake Creek High School. I know that if the young man stays healthy he will have no shortage of major colleges courting him for his skills and talent. We at The Be Someone Podcast want to wish you the best of luck this school year and know the best is yet to come.

On this episode we sit and chat with 2X Reality of Wrestling Tag Team Champions Culture Inc. If you have an eye on the indie scene you would know these young men have a rocket strapped to their backs and getting a major push. This dynamic team has athleticism on lock and the mouth piece of Nick J Holiday to pub them on the mic. Trust me when I say these young men are the future of the tag team division and do not be surprised when you see them signed to major promotion sooner rather than later.
