What does it take to fight your way back to the highest level of mixed martial arts?

In Episode 007 of Parallel Lives, Damian Knight sits down with UFC fighter Kai Kamaka III to discuss a life built around fighting, the challenges of professional MMA, and the determination required to make it back to the UFC.

Growing up in a family deeply rooted in combat sports, Kai was introduced to fighting at an early age. But being raised around the sport and building a career in it are two very different things.

From his early days in wrestling to competing professionally, Kai shares his journey through the UFC, Bellator, and PFL before ultimately earning his way back to the UFC.

The conversation goes beyond the cage, exploring the sacrifices that come with being a professional fighter, balancing family and career, preparing for fights, and navigating the emotional highs of victory and lows of defeat.

With another fight remaining on his UFC contract, Kai's story is still being written.

This episode is about resilience, family, opportunity, and the willingness to keep fighting when the path forward isn't guaranteed.

Because sometimes the biggest fight isn't the one inside the cage. It's the one that gets you back there.

In this episode of Parallel Lives, Damian sits down with Andrew Anderson, Army veteran, entrepreneur, and founder of OVR.OUT.

Andrew’s story is one of reinvention. From immigrating to the United States, to serving in the military, to navigating life after the uniform and building a brand rooted in resilience, his path has been shaped by the decision to keep moving forward—even when the next step wasn’t obvious.

Damian and Andrew talk about military service, transition, entrepreneurship, identity, failure, and the realities of building something of your own. They also dig into the lessons that only come from experience: knowing when to adapt, being willing to ask for help, and refusing to let one chapter of your life define the rest of it.

It’s a conversation about what happens when the plan changes—and the person you become because of it.

Because sometimes the biggest transitions in life aren’t endings. They’re an opportunity to build something entirely new.

We’re all one decision away from becoming someone completely different. Welcome to Parallel Lives.

In Episode 005 of Parallel Lives, Damian sits down with Marc Chabot, a retired Marine Corps Sergeant Major, husband, father, leader, and someone Damian has long respected as both a mentor and a leader in his own life.

This conversation goes beyond a military career. It’s about what service actually asks of you, and the people around you.

Marc reflects on a lifetime of leadership and service, the sacrifices made along the way, and the role his family played through every chapter. They talk about the weight of responsibility, balancing commitment to the mission with commitment at home, and how years of leading Marines shaped the husband, father, and man he became.

They also explore the decisions that change the direction of our lives, the lessons that stay with us long after a uniform comes off, and what it means to continue serving when that chapter is over.

For Damian, this one is personal. Marc isn't simply a guest with an impressive career, he's someone whose leadership, perspective, and example have had a meaningful impact on his own life.

Service. Family. Sacrifice. Leadership.

Different chapters. Different decisions. One life shaped by all of them.

We’re all one decision away from becoming someone completely different.

Welcome to Parallel Lives.
