Ep. 34 - Cycling & Endurance Coach; John Wessling

In episode 34 Adam and John sit down to discuss all things endurance sports. John talks about his life as an endurance athlete and what it takes to stay at the top of his game. He is a National Champ Category 1 (one step down from Pro Class) Cross Country (XC) mountain bike racer, he coaches some of the top level pro motocross athletes, cross country skiers, snow mobile racers, and is the coach for the UCLA Cycling Team. John has great insight for anyone looking to learn how to train, or how to take their training to the next level. He also gives a lot of insight about mental toughness, diet, which type of bike to invest in, and how to not get down on yourself when you've lost it or taken breaks in your workouts. Even if you're not into cycling this is an entertaining and motivating episode, we hope you enjoy!

Ep. 33 - Luke Wessman; A True Gentleman

Ep. 33 - Luke Wessman; A True Gentleman

In this episode Adam enjoys a great conversation with Luke Wessman. He has a fascinating life story; he’s a well established tattoo artist that was born on a hippie commune in rural Tennessee. We talk about many various topics from meditation, wild conspiracy theories, Kanye, “have to’s & get to’s, relationships, how to improve our romantic relationships, what it was like to work and appear on the show Miami Ink, as well as his intriguing road to becoming a high degree Freemason.  

Lukes discusses his childhood experiences that are anything but normal— he came into the world the natural way (..in a tent) on a fully sustainable hippie commune with no running water or electricity, then moving and living a nomadic life up and down the coast of California. He discusses how he had a moment of embarrassment with his childhood background while eventually deciding to embrace his story which led him to learning the value of hard work.

His values and life experiences eventually moved him to start the community and brand called The Lost Art of the Gentleman; “Treat them like you don't have them forever,” is how Luke would advise men on the treatment of, not just romantic partners, but people in our lives that matter most to us..

Finally, Luke talks about his career as a tattoo artist, doing it for the love of the craft, the secret to being able to work with high-profile clients, working with people without a hidden agenda and just being a genuine person. We believe we can all learn something positive from Luke and this podcast proves it. Please let us, and him know your thoughts on IG, Telegram or with an Apple Podcasts review.

...episode #33 could not have had a more perfect guest and release date than 11/11 ✨ Enjoy.
