  • 16: Alexa Shippy - World Records, Dating, Work ethic, Communication, Passion

    This episode was so rad I just uploaded it immediately after we got done recording. No editing needed, just needed to be available for the world to hear. Really relevant and felt right during all this going on with COVID19. Alexa was herself, vulnerable, and a fun guest to have on. We went all over the place covering the world records she might break at her upcoming powerlifting meet to what it was like dating to her mindset and attitude after hitting rock bottom a couple years ago. She even drops some communication advice for dating. College in Hawaii.. living in middle of nowheresville Michigan and New Hampshire.. Crossfit to weightlifting to powerlifting.. to laughing at yourself being a super power, and beyond. You'll want to tune into this one.

  • 15: Dave Bauman - Masculinity, Work, Lifting, and Mindset

    Dave is one jacked dude. 

    He's even smarter and nicer than I knew before, I learned more about him in the HOUR I talked to him on this podcast than the 3 months of training with him in a gym. We could've went on for 4 more hours. But I would've gotten hungry.. 

    CPA, law enforcement, to personal training, listen to Dave's story and thoughts.

  • 11: Solo Episode 01 - "Lady Troubles"

    In this episode I discuss my challenges in talking with, befriending, public humiliation, and being intimate with women.

    What’s up everybody and welcome to my first solo episode. Still playing around and figuring out the frequency and format for these but I’m excited so let’s get right into it.

    “Lady Troubles.”

    Yep. That was one of my nicknames in high school.

    Not the good kind of nick names (well, at least it was clever). It started because, as you could guess, I was weird and awkward and uncomfortably shy with women.

    I forget to mention it in the episode but I literally use the name "DJ LadyTroublezzz" at bowling now to just laugh about it and own it.

    Listen to the episode to find out more about my insecurities, vulnerabilities, and how I am starting to grow beyond my Lady Troubles.
