On this episode we sit and chat with Rob Ingram from the YouTube series McDojo Life. Rob has been on net for over 10 years now exposing the fakes, frauds, and phonies of the martial world. In his wildly popular series he has helped unearth a number of different individuals that have given the martial arts a bad name. For whatever reason the martial arts serves as a flame to a moth for these charlatans and Rob has made it his business to shine a light on them. He has a ton of experience as an accomplished practitioner and recently a consultant. He has several exiting projects in the works including a documentary film the Jocko himself is helping fund. Thanks a ton Rob for dropping by the show and I wish you the best of luck moving forward.

On this episode we chat with life long magician Curt Miller. Curt was recently performing here in The Woodlands TX and I was lucky enough to chat with him after the show. Our conversation went in a number of different directions but always circled back to human engagement and interaction. I learned so much from this top of the food chain performer. I even came to the conclusion that performing magic and educating our youth are not that much different. Thank you Curt for giving me a bit of your time this evening. You are a man of many talents and I feel as if you are just scratching the surface of what you can do. Good luck on bringing live magic shows back to the masses. A little magic is exactly what the world needs at this moment.

On this episode we chop it up with Pedigo Submission Fighting athlete and Mt. Vernon HS Wresting Coach Alejandro Wajner. We get into the nuts and bolts of growing the newest program up in the midwest. Alejandro and Coach Pixley are slowly building a juggernaut and the surrounding area is starting to take notice. With reduced rates and more personal attention to be able to give to the athletes it is only a matter of time until Illinois is theirs. We also get into the benefits of wrestling for our youth, especially the hard to reach. I love chatting with Ale and I hope you enjoy our convo on the pod. Have a blessed one and go out and be that SOMEONE!

On this episode of the podcast we chop it up with Kaleb Smith an incoming senior wrestler at College Park High School. Kaleb first caught my attention years ago as a junior high student who made friends with me based on our love for grappling. I believe he saw the cauliflower ear and knew that he had a kindred spirit in me. Fast forward a few years and him along with his brother Jacob became standouts in their schools wrestling program. Jacob would go on to win a state championship and wrestle in college. Kaleb on the other hand has wrestled masterfully but has come up a hair short in his race for the state crown. In his most recent state run he wrestled with a torn shoulder that would require surgery after the tourney. He has been on the shelf for 6 weeks now and chomping at the bit to get back on the mats. This down time has allowed him to rest and reflect on what he needs to get that elusive state crown. There is not a doubt in my mind that he will achieve his goal of becoming a state champion this upcoming year. He has the training partners, family support, and coaching staff to make the aspiration a reality. On top of that he is a good kid that comes from an awesome family. We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast with Kaleb Smith

On this episode we chat with rising star Zilla Fatu of the famous Fatu Bloodline. Zilla is a young man who grew up inside the pro wrestling world. His father was the world beater known as Umaga and he is kin to The Rock Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, and the Uso's just to name a few others. He has arrived at this juncture in his life with his eyes set on the family business. As a young man he faced adversity early and often as he grew up morning the death of his father at the age of 8. This even led to some hardships and poor choices which got him incarcerated for a good while. Instead of blaming up and blaming the world for his mishaps he grew and matured into the young man he is today. He is a modern day Rocky Balboa success story, he is hoping to take his hardships and utilize them for fuel as he makes a run at the pro wrestling world. He is currently training under 2 time WWE Hall of Fame inductee Booker T at the Reality of Wrestling. He has everything one could want in a prospective super star and now it is on him to walk this path into stardom. I have been very impressed with this young man since meeting him about a month ago. I believe he has "IT" and it is only a matter of time before he's knocking at his Uncle Roman Reigns door ready to take the seat at the head of the table. Hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast and the entire season 4 line up we have for you.
