Having trained for and conducted 100+ combat missions with someone creates a certain connection, a respect, a bond that allows them to relate to each other regardless of anything else. My good friend "Neus" and I linked up to record this episode almost directly 20 years after we volunteered to deploy on the tour did together. Its been a blessing catching up recently, and with any luck it looks like we will be able to continue on this trend. Essayons has always been the motto.

Living an intentional life requires setting and working towards goals. Once we have made our intentions obvious it adds pressure. Todays guest understands this well, and Nicolas Arnel has made it his intention to win multiple jiu jitsu championships including adult black belt worlds.

It is important for us to consider the generational differences in our frame of reference. Within only the last few decades things have changed more than in the previous thousand years. Events that shaped our lives just land differently to others; often for totally understandable reasons like them simply having not been alive at the time. Which is why these conversations are so crucial.

Todays guest Victoria Kinsey has a big warm personality, a compelling perspective, and is a living example of the concept "discipline equals freedom". We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, with the theme focused around fitness, wellness, discipline, and the noticeable changes in our society even within just the last 5 or so years.
thanks for listening!

This is Josh Turkewitz's second time on the podcast (espisode5). Today we dive into the concept of authenticity; which is his primary focus philosophically.

This action packed episode was a pleasure to record. My guest, Dave Vinson, is the Gracie Humaita bjj gym owner in Camdenton, MO, and serves the Lake of the Ozarks area. He has also been a bail bondsman and bounty hunter for several decades. Some of the stories we get into have graphic elements, though the ultimate message is very positive.

During this fantastic roller coaster ride of a conversation we touch on the interesting way our legal system can be manipulated through how the laws are being enforced on the ground, and why that matters.

Having recently traveled abroad, our friend Ernesto has agreed to come chat about his experiences, and the nuance required to not look over the best places on earth due to unnecessary biases.

There is a growing movement in America leading people to seek out therapeutic experiential treatments for their persistent PTSD, addiction, or whatever other personal reason; in the form of psychedelics. My friend, and todays guest Jamie has such an experience, and shares it with us during this extremely important conversation.

We do our very best to describe something that there are no words for. Much like many other experiences in life such as war, or parenting: it is commonly said that one will not truly understand it until they have gone through it for themselves. These molecules provide such an experience. It is not hard to come to the conclusion that we must reconsider our relationship with these sacred medicines in these modern times after considering the evidence honestly for yourself.

It was my pleasure to have Rob Hulett over to the studio today. We talked about growing the @MWfightleague brand, about how it all started, and some of how it has gone along the way.

Come find out what its all about sometime!
