Today I'm really excited to bring you my conversation with Luke Day.

Luke is the Head of Strength and Conditioning for the University of South Carolina Football team and founder of Manchild Media.

I had the pleasure of listening to Luke speak at Summer Strong and he gave my favorite presentation of the weekend, so I was really happy to be able to speak to him today on the show.

This was a really motivating conversation to have, but it also provides some really great takeaways that we can all adapt into our lives.

What does loving someone really mean? 

Can I love someone and still confront them or even get in fights with them?

Why discomfort needs to be the most consistent thing in your life.

We cover all this and more in this episode and I really believe you will get some great things from this one.

Enjoy!

I get asked about journaling all the time, so I figured it would be helpful to do a short episode on the processes and reasons behind why I do it and recommend it to everyone I coach.

It can be a very powerful practice if you understand why you're doing it, and have a few techniques to keep you engaged.

There are some good takeaways here, so be ready to go get yourself a notebook and get after it!

Enjoy!

I'm really excited to bring you this episode today. I have been learning from and following Zach Even-Esh for over 10 years now. He was one of the first coaches I really dove in to content-wise when I began coaching, so it was a great time for me getting to talk to him about our shared nerd-like obsession; Old School historic strength culture and literature.

We talked a lot about the mindset behind the men in the physical culture world 100 years ago and how that influenced and motivated Zach to start and continue training after 30+ years. 

This was a great conversation and be on the lookout for Part 2 coming.

Enjoy!

Today's episode is a bit more of a self-reflection spoken into a mic, rather than the normal Thursday show.

In last week's episode with Greg Walsh, he used the term Expert Generalist, and the moment he said it I had a bit of an epiphany.

I realized that that philosophy has been my approach to much of life, but just did have a word for it!

So today I'm breaking down what that term has meant to me and how you can apply it to training and life.

Enjoy!

For today's episode, I was fortunate to sit down and talk with Matt Vincent, owner of HViii (prounounced, Hate) Brand Goods, Habit Coffee, and host of the UMSO Podcast.

He was a 2x Highland Games World Champion, and has since completely transformed himself physically. We get into his process and mindset for reinventing himself after being the best in the world. 

Matt is a very motivational person to talk to and has a really great perspective on performance, health, and life.

We got into some really fun topics in this conversation, including:

His approach to mindset and reinventing himself after being a world champ

The new approach he has for training and the next challenges he's working toward

His facility, DOPE (Division Of Performance Enhancement) and the very specific design elements he had in his head

The growth of HViii and the next projects he's working on 

A pretty fun tangent on steroids in baseball and other sports

I had a great time chatting with Matt and I know y'all will enjoy it.

In today’s episode I answer a question that was asked via Instagram.

The difference between training on a strict program v. training by “feel”. This was a great question and an important concept to cover.

Let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree with my take on it, would love to discuss.

Enjoy!

The show today is arguably one of my favorite conversations I’ve had since we launched this thing.

Greg Walsh is the founder of Wolf Brigade Gym in Rochester, NY. He and I officially met at Summer Strong and pretty much instantly clicked in conversation.

We got into some really great topics of conversation in this episode, including:

-Greg’s past in the Hardcore and BMX world, beginning in the late 80’s. 

-Martial arts and being a foundational part of Crossfit Long Beach

-How Wolf Brigade came to be

-Training with maces and kettlebells (something he has done for 15+ years)

-Life lessons we’ve both learned in business and training

We could have gone another two hours, but I’ll bet that Greg comes back for a part 2 at some point.Enjoy this one, I definitely did.

Last week's solo show we talked about the basics of breath, so it seemed only fitting that we follow that up this week with what we usually couple in breath practice; Cold Exposure.

Today I'm going to go over the what, why, and how of getting cold. We'll cover:

-The benefits and why cold exposure is important for health

-The 30 Day Cold Shower Challenge

-How to set up a cold tub/freezer

Lots of takeaways in this one, so you may need to listen to it a second time to get all the info written down!

Enjoy and stay cold!

I have been waiting to talk to today's guest for a very long time, and for a lot of reasons.

I am fascinated by people who are doing things on the fringes of the health and fitness space, and to some; Josh Goldstein might be in outer space.

Josh has adopted a raw primal lifestyle, which as you can imagine, has gotten him all kinds of feedback on social media, much of which is negative to say the least. We tackle this odd "concern" that people seem to have for his health, when he has never felt better in his life.

In this conversation, we also cover:

His journey to the current lifestyle he lives

Eating an entire raw chicken on Instagram

His recent studying of Germ Theory v. Terrain Theory 

How his Raw Primal diet is structured

The benefits of raw animal fats in your diet

and a ton more

This one will make you think, in all the best ways. I want to bring people on to this show that don't feed the same regurgitated information you can get everywhere else, and Josh is the perfect guest to bring in a different perspective.

I really enjoyed this and took some great things away from my conversation and hope you do the same.

Enjoy!

If you've followed along for any time now, you've likely learned that one of my favorite health and performance topics to teach and study is breath.

Today I decided to do an entire episode on the basics of breath practice with a few immediate take aways you can implement into your life.

This is essentially a modified version of the in-person seminars and workshops I teach locally.

If you enjoy and get use out of any of the techniques we discuss in the episode, be sure to let me know!
