Justin Frandson is an Athleticism Performance Coach using nerve health to strengthen and heal injury and misalignments in the body.

This conversation is for both athletes and those who aren’t — waking up the nervous system and preparing our body for movement so that we can feel better and perform better on a daily basis.

Justin and I dive into…

➝ Using GRT lights to reset the nervous system

➝ The three pillars of performance—sport and daily

For men, many of us were raised with the rule “if we’re struggling, don’t talk about it”. This is what had Connor Beaton hitting rock bottom and eventually, opening his eyes and heart to the importance of having the support to express his emotions. Harboring such subtle and heavy emotions, with no outlet or invitation to express them healthily, led Connor to expressing shame in the forms of substance abuse, addictions, dysfunctional relationship dynamics and living out of his car.

Connor dives into his story and how he healed to where he is now — a supportive and committed father, husband and men’s training facilitator. He knew that if his life were to shift the first thing that needed to be looked at was himself.

Connor and I dive into…

How he shifted from addictions, troubled relationships, damaging self-talk

Healthy ways to pivotally express anger and how this can benefit everyone involved

How putting people on pedestals doesn’t allow for a genuine or sustainable connection

Transforming the “suppression equals strength” mentality

The importance of modeling a healed masculine to our children

Jason Pickard is a fellow ex-trader on Wall Street and, similar to my story, shifting from that identity was a tough transition for him—leaving him with “What’s left of me? What am I now?” Hear more of his story and how he radically transformed every aspect of his life on our previous episode together, Episode 97

Today, we catch up on his latest creation, The Abundance Archetype course—an 8 week course for the investor who wants to embrace overflowing abundance in every aspect of their life. This offering hits home with me because learning to love “Trader Cal” was a journey, a part of myself that I eventually would realize holds many gifts and much wiser than I previously thought him to be. With this course, Jason found a way to weave his genius of trading with the beauty of personal development.

Jason and I dive into...

What it means to be an infinite player in life

How his course teaches us to embody the abundant archetype

What helped him release 100+ pounds and revive his health physically, mentally, and spiritually

Ways to implement and integrate new concepts

Utilizing our different identities and versions of self, rather than shame and abandon them

Harnessing and respecting the laws of polarity allows us to move through life with more grace

Excited to have my buddy, Ron White, join us for some deep dives into his 37 year journey - and counting - as a stand-up comic. A lot has changed societally since entering the 2000s so we got to chat how comedy has adapted without suppressing its nature of finding the line and stepping over it.

Ron has been performing at Austin's very own Comedy Mothership, brought to life by Joe Rogan this year, and this opportunity to partner with Joe quite literally kept Ron from retiring. From the green room hangs, the growth and support of young comics, and the overall energy convinced him to fire it all back up. Not to mention opening for Theo Von and being able to witness and play a major role in the rise of many great modern day comics. All of which we cover in our conversation!

Some things we dive into...

➝ How he knew comedy was a career worth pursuing

➝ His experience with imposter syndrome as he began his journey in comedy

➝ The importance of putting in the work for passions and how short cuts don't sustain us

➝ What a run of show at the Comedy Mothership looks like

➝ The lost art of wanting those around us to win, especially those in the same field

➝ An LA Times article that nearly ruined his career

➝ And more!

Nearly a co-host by now, one of my best pals and definitely a fan favorite, Boyd Varty, joins us for his 4th time on the show! If you aren't familiar yet, Boyd is co-owner of Londolozi Game Reserve where he grew up amongst the wilderness and leads a life that implements and demonstrates the wisdom of the natural world.

Today we talk Story—how they make or break us, how to witness ourself in one, how to alchemize thoughts, patterns and behaviors based on being witness to ourself. Boyd leads us through a live version of him sitting with his egoic mind, allowing as many thoughts to rise to the surface, what they feel like and eventually re-patterning and re-enforcing a more supportive way of being.

Boyd and I dive into...

⟶ Befriending and witnessing the egoic mind

⟶ The essence and journey of a transformational process

⟶ The art of spiraling and melting down to allow for a new consciousness to birth

⟶ The father archetypal energy at its best

⟶ Tracking and mapping the ways that we upper limit ourself

⟶ And more!
