This week we discuss the famous " Man in the Arena" speech from Theodore Roosevelt and the incredible relevance it still carries today about how others will sometimes try to downplay or ridicule the goals and work of others in order to make themselves feel better about their lack of courage, meaning, fortitude, or belief.  Instead of popping someones balloon,  go find your own!

This week we start out with a discussion on the dangers of selling a "quick fix" for vulnerable people looking to learn self defense.  Also covered is the idea of either living with your choices and being happy, or changing the things you prioritize to get different results rather than complaining about the consequences of choices that we made on our own for ourselves.  Do what makes you happy. Control what you can control.

View Details

On this episode we talk about how toughness is a choice that is made every single day, telling yourself the truth in relation to your capabilities and goals, and understanding that feelings are meant to be FELT, not discarded, discredited, demonized or avoided.  We talk about how our loved ones make sacrifices for us in telling us what we don' want to hear, and better ways to deal with negative feelings, self talk, or explosive emotions.  Thanks for helping us make it to 101 episodes.  WE LOVE YOU.

Today we talk about a philosophical question of friendship.  Do you LOVE your friends?  If not, should you find new friends?

Brief solo episode about my thoughts on a recent social media encounter and some of the underlying reasons why it may have gone the way it did.  I'll talk about my opinion on why the saying "misery loves company" seems so fitting and true in these types of exchanges and how realizing where a person is coming from can help you at least feel empathy for their situation.  The second half is a realization I had in explaining the importance grip breaking and gi training to a beginner student and how that relates to removing the obstacles that stop us from understanding our true value and distort our perception of ourselves.  I hope you enjoy, and i hope this helps anyone who may be struggling to love yourself.  Have a great week!

Today's episode is pointed, passionate and probably gonna piss some people off.  Although we find ourselves in times of grave government overstep and dismantling of freedoms across the world,  many of us are too busy being mad at each other about things we are told to feel by politicians.  The hypocrisy of global politicians is no longer something to avoid talking about.  Most of us don't trust politicians, or politics?  So why do we let them tell us how we should feel?  Why do we allow them to separate us, and cost us our mental health, friendships, relationships and sometimes more?  Hypocrisy is something that we explore to see if it is possible to be virtuous and a hypocrite at the same time?  We hope you will listen to this episode in its entirety and are happy and willing to have open dialogue with anyone out there about the times we are in.  More than ever.  we need LOVE, we need consistency, we need virtue.  We must not let true virtue die.  Let's talk!

Evan and Joel had a great time discussing the relationship between reasons youre unable to do something over time, and how a legitimate reason that is keeping you from your goals today, becomes an excuse as time passes and it remains unresolved.  We offer a strategy to deal with the sometimes overwhelming feelings of fear and imposter syndrome that can creep in when we are challenging ourselves to pursue something far outside of our comfort zone.  " If you don't sacrifice for what you want, then what you want becomes the sacrifice."

View Details

Today we discuss the give and take relationship between being either " A jack of all trades" or top level elite at one specific thing and the sacrifices that you will need to make no matter which path you choose, how to decide who to invite to your wedding, and why Evan half way reads a lot of books.  Enjoy!

The Story of Sisyphus is not the happiest or most heartwarming story,  but the value of understanding the stoic Principle of controlling what you can, when you can, where you can, cant be overstated.  In life,  we all have a different rock to push.  Often times,  the act of choosing to do this with a positive attitude will lead us to where we hope to be. Evan and Joel have a great discussion about how being "humble",  can lead to us having a hard time believing that we are valuable and capable enough to live a meaningful fulfilling life through our work.  The opposite of Nihilishm is Gratitude,  and we hope this discussion will help you believe in yourself and take the first step toward living your best possible life.

View Details

This week we talk about the damage being done to our society with the black and white mentality, ostracizing of people who don't fit into a specific mold and the disappearing of nuanced, meaningful conversations between people on some of the biggest issues facing us right now.  The power of love is not in the ability to always agree or never be unhappy with one another.  The power of love is that it persists.  The power of love is that it can bring us together without us all having to agree about everything.  We need Nuance in our Thinking,  but more than anything, we need LOVE.

This week we discuss what memorial day means to us to get us started and get into a discussion about Ways to use your darkest times as your biggest catalyst for growth with some personal stories.  Its important not to compare your struggles with others, just to support others when we can along the way.  On the flip side of that coin,  we must remember that our friends can help pull us out of a dark hole,  but ultimately,  we must continue to climb on our own in order to overcome.  We hope you'll enjoy!

Todays discussion is based on a recent leadership lesson that Evan learned on the job dealing with the staffing issues the restaurant industry is struggling with and the impact that individuals have on each others morale whether they are aware of it or not.  We examine the idea that every single person is a leader in one way or another through their actions and how we all impact others more than we may know or believe.  

View Details

This one got deep!  We speak about the positives and negatives associated with relating a community to part of or your entire identity.  As humans,  we all belong to multiple "communities".  Does your community encourage collaboration and encouragement of others  based on common ground, or does your community expect you to ALSO be part of a set of other communities based on your identifying member of that community?  As we go down and up the levels and sizes of community,  we discover that at the end of the day,  community is universal.  The individual is a part of  the universe, and the universe is a part of the individual.  Being part of a community or a set of communities is a fascinating part of the human experience.  It is important that we do not lose our individuality to our "community identity", while also keeping in mind the importance of being a positive member of the universal, human community.  Love.

View Details

Today we will talk about finding and maintaining a "sweet spot" in life,  that will prevent you from being comfortable without succumbing to burnout, and the process of realizing that balancing your life and priorities is an ever-changing process that will require humility, awareness, and commitment.  Ultimately if you can maintain this balance, you will find that fulfillment and happiness live here.

View Details

Among a few other topics sprinkled in before and after,  we dive into the backward mentality practiced by our society around the mistreatment, abuse and assault of women.  Expecting Women to do extra things in their everyday life to prevent them from everything from uncomfortable situations to abuse does not address the actual problem.  Well talk about the role that True masculinity plays in the solution and dive into what you can do TODAY,  to start making our streets and public spaces safer and more enjoyable for women.  This is a very important conversation and we hope it sparks some thought and reflection into your own circles.  Lets be a part of the solution.

This one is a tough one to summarize,  but it comes down to the difference in believing good things will "happen" if you work hard, and MAKING something happen because you believe in yourself.  After many years of hard work,  We break down the realization that believing something can happen for you, doesnt necessarily mean you believe in yourself,  and look at how to flip the switch to bring back the power to your life.  We hope you will enjoy. Get after it!

Lots of topics on this one,  all around the need for balance to create power in your life.  Enjoy!

View Details

This week we have a discussion about how expectations can kill progress and growth not only if they are too high,  but if they are too low.  Communication and Coach-ability can prevent the death of your house plant (Goals and careers) But you must apply them at the correct time,  in the correct manner.  Setting reasonable expectations is both a personal and interpersonal skill that is many times overlooked, yet carries huge implications in all aspects of personal growth, love, happiness, and fulfillment.  Enjoy!
