A Spiritual Samurai - The Robert Chu Interview

A Spiritual Samurai - The Robert Chu Interview

Today's guest, Robert Chu is the author of The Spiritual Samurai and the Power of 7. He is truly a spiritual samurai.


Who Is Robert Chu:


In 2018, he became one of the youngest Superior Court Judges in the State of California. Robert thought achieving his career dreams would fill the emptiness that he felt inside his whole life. Unfortunately, it didn't matter what success he achieved or material wealth he accumulated; the insecurities Robert felt never went away.


In 2021, a childhood friend tragically took his own life, leaving Robert utterly shocked as he had no idea about his battle with depression. The weight of guilt consumed him, as he wondered if he could have made a difference had he known. Supported by his loving wife and children, Robert embarked on a transformative journey to become the best version of himself, not only in terms of physical health but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Robert sought to find the one missing piece that would make him feel complete and whole.


His journey led to Peru in 2022, where he crossed paths with a man named Eric. Despite the number of challenges life had thrown at him, Eric radiated an abundance of love and light. After a week of bonding and sharing their life stories with one another, Eric said something that Robert will never forget. He said that he reminded him of a Spiritual Samurai who was able to help others defeat their demons with LOVE. In that profound moment, Robert realized that the special thing he had been looking for his whole life to complete him, was already within him.


Spiritual Samurai Apparel:


A Spiritual Samurai represents the unwavering spirit within each of us, a Samurai that battles and triumphs over our inner demons.


Wear our apparel not just as an expression of style, but as a reminder of the Samurai within, ready to face and overcome any internal or external battle that enters your life.

BODi and Mind Transformation - The Joel Freeman Interview

BODi and Mind Transformation - The Joel Freeman Interview

Today's guest, Joel Freeman, is BODi supertrainer who has been helping so many experience bodi and mind transformation.


Who Is Joel Freeman:


Joel’s passion for helping people reach their fitness potential began during his time at Texas Tech University where he began working at a local gym. While he worked various positions within the gym, Joel always found himself motivated by one thing: making a personal impact on people’s lives and seeing that it doesn’t always have to be difficult to make necessary changes.



In 2012, Joel relocated to Southern California as the new Group Exercise Director for the iconic Gold’s Gym SoCal, a franchise of over a dozen Gold’s Gyms across Southern California’s landscape. Touted as one of the most prestigious and successful franchises in the world, Joel transformed the Southern California’s group fitness market with new programming, the best instructors in the area and applied analytics and tracking that had never before been used in the industry.


Super Trainer:


When presented with the amazing opportunity to come to Beachbody as an exclusive Super Trainer in 2016, Joel didn’t hesitate! He collaborated with teammate Jericho McMatthews and in 2017 launched a new, record-breaking Beachbody program: CORE DE FORCE. A mixed martial-arts style home training program, CORE DE FORCE combines MMA combinations with high-intensity cardio and body-weight resistance training. Since launch, CORE DE FORCE has empowered thousands of people across the globe with increased confidence, self-empowerment, while helping them lose weight, tone their muscles and see their abs…some for the first time ever!


After CORE DE FORCE, Joel began working on his first solo project hat was launched in 2018, LIIFT4. This 8-week, cutting edge fitness program was the first of its kind. It showed people how they could get unbelievable results in only four days a week. Over two years later and LIIFT4 is still one of the top streamed programs on Beachbody on Demand, surpassing 25 million views in January 2020.


Riding on the success of LIIFT4, Joel began working on another fitness program. It embodied one of his own passions: boxing. Taking the best elements of shadow boxing, conditioning and strength training, Joel created a 6-week total body sculpting, calorie scorching program, 10 ROUNDS. It was an instant success upon launch, hitting over 5 million streams in just a couple months.

Fit Men Project - The Luke DePron Interview

Fit Men Project - The Luke DePron Interview

Today's guest, Luke DePron, is a highly sought after weight loss coach and founder of the Fit Men Project.


Who Is Luke DePron:


Hey there. I’m Luke, the founder of Fit Men Project.


When it comes to the fitness industry I’ve been fortunate to have done it all. What started with a passion for fitness ended with a degree in Exercise Science Kinesiology, thousands of hours doing 1 on 1 personal training, working as corrective exercise specialist in San Diegos premier rehab studio, providing sport performance to Olympic and professional level athletes, to what I do now helping businessmen and entrepreneurs permanently lose weight and optimize their physiques, energy, and health.


While I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 15 years I’ve always felt like a bit of an outsider.


Looking around I saw trainers and coaches obsessed with exercise, and whose lives were consumed by the gym.


That wasn’t me.


It wasn’t until I began working with entrepreneurs and business owners that things clicked.


These men were building companies, had visions, and needed exercise to support their lives NOT take over it.


The exact relationship I had with exercise.


Today I’m fortunate to support these men in their endeavors by helping them install fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle frameworks so they show up as the most fit, healthy, and energized versions of themselves.


They’re crushing business and life!

Making the Shift to Elite - The Erik Westrum Interview

Making the Shift to Elite - The Erik Westrum Interview

Today's guest, Erik Westrum, is a former professional hockey player turned author, coach and speaker who is now helping people making the shift to elite.


Who Is Erik Westrum:


Erik Westrum is a former professional hockey player, author, motivational speaker, leadership coach, and entrepreneur at heart.


He has had a passion to help others since he was a young child, and this has not changed as he continues to fulfill his purpose in life—to be a Servant Leader.


During his hockey playing years, he faced daily challenges to make it to the top. By implementing the tools and strategies discussed in his book, he was able to consistently perform at the top of his game. After retiring from hockey and trying to figure out the next step in life, Erik struggled with finding out what success looked like being off the ice. He shortly realized the steps and tools he used as a high-performing athlete could transfer to many other areas of life. And once again, his life changed dramatically.


After coaching hundreds of people over the past 22 years, Erik has helped people break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back. Through this process he has established the principles and processes of Becoming Elite and what it takes to transform your life using 4 proven pillars of performance. Life’s too short to not try and become elite.


This book will help you learn how to make simple adjustments to your day and with consistency, over time you will develop better habits to get you to the top of your game—becoming elite!


Becoming Elite:


Becoming Elite focuses on the Four Proven Pillars of Performance:


Pillar 1: The Psychological Shift – Transformation begins with your mind. Are you currently in a fixed or growth mindset?


Pillar 2: The Physical Shift – Physical activity is key to performance and productivity. How active are you right now?


Pillar 3: The Spiritual Shift– Knowing who you are and being at peace. What are your beliefs and values?


Pillar 4: The Emotional Shift – Being intentional in how you show up. Are you choosing to live intentionally?

Few Will Hunt - The Joey Bowen and Drew Beech Interview

Few Will Hunt - The Joey Bowen and Drew Beech Interview

Today's guests, Joey Bowen and Drew Beech are co-founders of "Few Will Hunt". They join me today to talk about their community and motivational apparel line.


Few Will Hunt


Our Story:


It all started in 2017.


For a year straight, two cousins, Joey and Drew, spent their daily commutes through the gritty streets of Philadelphia on the phone together.


On these calls, they talked about business and life — especially the concerning trends of self-entitlement and shortcut-seeking that they were witnessing in society.


These trends made them feel alone in an ever-softening world. “Are we the only ones that still believe in the power of hard work?”, Drew asked. Joey responded, “It’s like we say at my hunting cabin — everybody wants to eat, but few will hunt.”


This statement perfectly summed up their frustrations with society. It became their mantra.


Everybody wants the fit body, the big promotion, the good life, the successful business… but very, very few people are willing to work hard, risk, and suffer for these results.


In that moment, they made a pact.


Through their own hard work, they would start a countermovement to put society back on track. Aptly named Few Will Hunt®, their movement would leave a lasting impression on the world by restoring the dignity of hard work.


That same night, Joey (from the tech industry) designed a t-shirt with their mantra and Drew (already in the apparel industry) put it into production. This first, humble Few Will Hunt t-shirt would serve as the flag for their movement.


Community:


They started an Instagram community and focused on creating inspiring, educational content to help others like them endure pain and embrace risk as they worked hard toward their goals.


By mid 2018, the Few Will Hunt® community was growing and it was hungry for more apparel. Community members didn’t want to just read the hard-hitting statements from Few Will Hunt’s Instagram posts.


Apparel:


They felt the Few Will Hunt® movement in themselves, and they wanted to wear it on themselves.


After a year of community-building through content only, Joey and Drew got serious about their apparel and officially treating this like a family business.


And they were strongly aligned with the impact that they wanted to leave on the world.


FEW WILL HUNT® APPAREL IS NOW TESTED, TRUSTED, AND WORN BY HARD WORKERS IN OVER 75 COUNTRIES.


You’ll see it on the backs of the hard workers everywhere — from budding writers pounding their keyboards at your local coffee shop to professional fighters pounding their opponents under the bright lights of the UFC octagon.


Through painstaking, relentless hard work, Joey and Drew have grown the Few Will Hunt® movement from 100 hard workers in 2017 to over 100,000 hard workers today.


Their impact has become undeniable in society…


And the best part is WE (yes, including you reading this now) are just getting started.


Let's hunt!

Mind Over Mountains - The Alex Staniforth Interview

Mind Over Mountains - The Alex Staniforth Interview

Today's guest, adventure / mountaineer, author and motivational speaker, Alex Staniforth joins the show to talk about how he is looking to help people through his charity, Mind Over Mountains.


Who is Alex Staniforth:


This isn’t your typical story about climbing Everest. I had an unassuming and fairly ordinary beginning brought up in Kelsall, near Chester, but like many others, had an Everest to climb before even reaching base camp.


Suffering a mild form of epilepsy at nine years old shattered my confidence and self-esteem with panic attacks and anxiety. Relentless bullying throughout school and a lifelong stammer in my speech left me in a ‘victim’ mindset. A fateful encounter with paragliding on holiday aged thirteen unearthed a passion for the outdoors – a way to prove myself wrong and choose my challenges instead. I began to question these self-limiting beliefs through outdoor challenges and learning that we can’t always choose our challenges – but we can choose how we respond.

The question captivated me and climbing to the summit of the worlds’ highest peak seemed the ultimate achievement. I climbed Mont Blanc in 2012 aged 17 and headed to the Himalayas for the first time in 2013 to attempt Mera Peak (6,476m) and Baruntse (7,129m). Challenges are a great opportunity to create something bigger, and fundraising for charities also led to being selected as a London 2012 Olympic Torchbearer through Chester.


I’ve always had the support and belief of my parents, albeit they were never going to sign a cheque for the Everest expedition, nor was my job washing pots in the local pub. I was going to have to find a way or make one and have single-handedly funded my expeditions through corporate sponsorship.


My first attempt to climb Everest in 2014 ended in disaster with an avalanche which tragically killed sixteen people and cancelled the expedition. In 2015 I returned when our team were trapped on the mountain with my team as a huge earthquake struck Nepal and devastated the country, whilst taking the lives of three team-mates at base camp.

From the Flames of Struggle to the Flavors of Triumph: The Harrison (Fell Foodie) Ward Interview

Today's guest is a camp stove cook and an inspirational addiction and mental health speaker, Harrison (Fell Foodie) Ward, shares his journey from the flames of struggle to the flavors of triumph.


Who is Fell Foodie:


Harrison Ward is a proud Cumbrian who has turned the mountainous landscape he calls home into his kitchen. After discovering a passion for hiking in 2016 following a drastic life change, it wasn’t long before a lifetime love of cooking was merged with this new vice. Harrison can often be found creating delicious, restaurant style meals on minimal camping equipment up in the hills or voicing his struggles with mental health and alcoholism on various platforms and stages.


What Does Fell Foodie Mean:


Fell is from Old Norse; Fell and Fjall. It originally referred to an area of uncultivated high ground but now more often used as reference to the mountains and hills of the Lake District.


Foodie is somebody who loves food in many formats and variations. An enthusiast with a passion for all things culinary. Slightly less pretentious term for a gourmet or gastronome.


Being a proud Cumbrian and a food fanatic, Harrison decided to merge the two!


Where Can I Find Fell Foodie:


Harrison has been featured on/by many media outlets—including Mary Berry – Love to Cook (BBC2), Men’s Fitness Magazine, Metro, Daily Express, The Great Outdoors Magazine, Trail Mag, BBC Radio Cumbria, and more—for further examples please see Press & Collaborations


Harrison has been invited to speak at various organizations, including Volvo, JLL, Natural England, VivoBarefoot and many secondary schools.

From Knuckles and Pucks to Peace - The Journey of NHL Enforcer Riley Cote

Today's guest, former NHL enforcer, Riley Cote, joins the show to discuss his journey from knuckles and pucks to peace.


About:


Riley Cote played 8 years of professional hockey including 4 with the Philadelphia Flyers. His hard style of play eventually took its toll and he decided to retire from playing at the ripe age of 28 and committed to a life dedicated to self-care, mindfulness and personal development. Riley felt called to be of service and embarked on a quest to heal and discover optimum wellness and share his discoveries with the world. Between the mental health crises, the opioid crises and the obesity crises it was clear to him that we have become extremely disconnected in our personal lives and lacked the true essence of life, positive energy of self-love.


Cote Culture:


Riley has dedicated his life to helping others transform their lives using different tools and disciplines to keep the body, mind and spirit balanced and optimized.


Cote's past experiences integrated with the knowledge and understanding of ancient and practical lifestyle philosophies makes for a unique opportunity to level up your life with Riley's life coaching philosophy.

Leading Special Forces And Beyond - The Garry Banford Interview

Leading Special Forces And Beyond - The Garry Banford Interview

Today's guest, former British special forces leader, Garry Banford, joins the show to discuss leading special forces and beyond.


About Garry Banford:


High stakes. High pressure. Uncertainty. This was Garry’s ‘normal’ for many years in his career within Special Forces. He can share insights you won’t easily find anywhere else - translated into real actionable advice that works in your own challenging environment. But it’s that wisdom combined with his empathetic down-to-earth manner and clear communication style that make his client sessions particularly successful.


Coaching Style:


Garry remains steadfastly focused on his clients, and moulds his coaching to meet their individual needs. He views it as a privilege to be part of their journey to better themselves - personally and professionally.


His clients appreciate his straight-talking no-nonsense style delivered in his friendly approachable manner; with plenty of humor and stories thrown in.


Despite his wealth of experience, Garry values authenticity. He is honest about his own challenges - especially if it will help others - and his clients appreciate the genuine, down-to-earth coach he is.


Background:


Garry served over 2 decades in the UK MOD, 16 of which were in Special Forces. He is one of the UK’s most operationally seasoned leaders, serving all of his years with UKSF in the challenging and ever adapting aftermath of the Twin Towers attacks. He rose to the rank of Sergeant Major before ending his contract in 2019. Garry led high-performing teams and really honed his craft throughout his distinguished military career.


Since founding Duratus in 2019 Garry has been coaching executives and leaders from numerous diverse sectors; from finance to football. It was clear from the start that his unique experiences resonated with clients, and could be successfully translated into their high-stake corporate environments. He has helped his clients make some incredible changes to their mindset and make positive steps to progress toward their personal and professional goals.


Experience:


Garry’s experience in the Special Forces taught him true hardship and adversity. More importantly, how to work successfully toward an objective despite that hardship and adversity. This convinced him that most things are possible - often beyond what you think is achievable - if you know which direction you’re going and how to get the right team to work with and support you.


Garry’s leadership and coaching experience mean his clients benefit from a combination of authenticity, precise communication, and his ability to get to the core of an issue quickly. He has helped his clients navigate uncertainty, communicate their problems better, demonstrate authentic leadership, and perform optimally under pressure, without sacrificing their own wellbeing.


Garry has been proud to work with:


Senior leadership teams at CitiBank

Coaches at Manchester City FC and the England Football team

Private Equity firm CEO and his senior leadership team

Police Inspector cohorts including Metropolitan Police Specialist Firearm Unit leaders

Fintech CEOs

Harder To Kill - The Scott Jagodzinski Interview

Harder To Kill - The Scott Jagodzinski Interview

Today's guest, Scott Jagodzinski is making men over 50, harder to kill. He is also the founder of Argent Alpha, a company dedicated to helping men live their best lives.


About Scott:


For the last 12 years, Scott has been learning, testing, succeeding (and sometimes failing) at improving his performance, both mentally, physically, and spiritually.


The result? He has reduced his body fat from 16% to 10% and lowered his biological age by 9 years, from 57 to 48. To prove it wasn't a fluke, he created Argent Alpha and began helping fellow men over 50 create similar results.


Thriving During the Second Half of Life:


In the second half of life, it would be all too easy to de-prioritize our health and watch our confidence, life satisfaction, and relevance all fade as a result. Plenty of men have great balance sheets and career success, but their health, relationships, physical fitness, and cognitive abilities are all starting to lag. In order to be different, we have to do something different.


Personal Life:


Scott splits time between Minnesota and Arizona and loves to hang out with his wife of 35+ years, spend time with their 3 adult children, and watch his grandson Edwin grow.
