Benjoy Walker - From Actor to Nomad Coach — A Story of Alignment

Benjoy Walker - From Actor to Nomad Coach — A Story of Alignment

What's up Human! This episode I get to chat with Ben Walker, who is currently a working nomad leading a group called Follow Spring North. Ben goes by Benjoy because his motto is, "Fun is the Point!" Ben is a coach at The Strong Coach where he leads fitness coaches through a 6 month program to Freedom. When you look at Ben's life, you might think... WTF? He's outside EVERY DAY, he's traveling around the United States at alllll the National Parks, he always has a smile on his face... How did he get here?

In this episode we dig into what lead Ben to living this life. From life as an unsatisfied actor in New York, to quitting and signing up for professional development that emptied his bank account to ZERO. As Ben began to live his life in deeper alignment, and doing things for HIMSELF, he noticed that things come a lot easier. The way Ben lives in integrity and alignment is inspiring...

INTEGRITY - Midseason Rundown

INTEGRITY - Midseason Rundown

Each of our guests in Season 2 thus far, Josh Lujan, Josh Hash, and Danny Rios, demonstrated a similar set of virtues in their transformative stories. They took them seriously! And they've accomplished a lot in their lives. If you listen to each episode, you can absorb their happiness and enthusiasm for life — it's contagious! Having these conversations was really dope for me as a host... I got to be in a position of awe and get curious about their life stories.

This episode presents my takeaway's of the episodes from Season 2 on the topic of Transformation. We've dropped into some deep transformative stories so far in this season of the podcast. This episode highlights the biggest takeaways - Integrity, Just Starting, and Doing the Hard Things.

Danny Rios - A Journey to the HEART

Danny Rios - A Journey to the HEART

Whats up human! This episode features a wise man — a good mentor and friend... Danny Rios! Danny is a coach of coach's, currently a leader in The Strong Coach business and community. In this episode, Danny tells his story of going deep into College Football, then to owning a Crossfit gym where he seemingly had it all. At a certain point, he realized that he was not living in alignment and it was eating at his insides. He handed the Crossfit gym over and headed on a journey within. What he found is a way of life in which he is a nomad, working his dream job with an incredible team, and taking life as it comes with joy and peace.

This man embodies his teachings in a way that is SO DAMN RESPECTABLE. Take from this man's journey all that you can. And if you want to work with him, see below!

Josh Hash (Strength Side) - From Suffering to Fulfillment

Josh Hash (Strength Side) - From Suffering to Fulfillment

Myy brother, Josh Hash, joins me to get deep and talk about his journey of the last 10 years. I've always looked up to Josh — his is dedication to discovering himself, his practices, and being a student of life. In this chat we capture what it was like for him to build Strength Side from the ground up. From feeling lost and suffering, to choosing a path and going with full force, to being nomadic, to the rise of Strength Side. I got to ask him about all of the challenges, and all of the celebrations along the way.  He does not disappoint!

A beautiful chat with an interesting and wise man.

Josh Lujan (Xaryu) - How to be Successful — Treat Life Like a Video Game

Josh Lujan (Xaryu) - How to be Successful — Treat Life Like a Video Game

For the start of Season 2, I'm so stoked to introduce Josh Lujan! Josh has been in the professional gaming world since his younger days in which he has been top-ranked in World of Warcraft. As his life moved forward, he realized he wasn't living into his value of being healthy and fit. He saw more for himself and he set out to make a change immediately. He kept gaming, but slowly made a shift toward health by working out and eating well. As his body and health progressed he got into bodyweight training of which now he can perform some IMPRESSIVE moves.

Now Josh is a voice for health and wellness in the gaming world, his mission being to "Make gaming a healthier space." As you'll hear in the episode, he now sells training programs and a cookbook to his audience of gamers.

This is one inspiring dude who has lessons and wisdoms for us all. See the links below to find Josh around the socials.

How to be a SOMEBODY

How to be a SOMEBODY

Dear listener. This conversation touches on success: motives for success, what it takes to become successful, and the inner and outer work that's required for one's success. The first step toward success is choosing your path. Becoming more and more you while you step away from conditioning and what you believe others want of you. Wanting success is no problem, but dig in and ask why you want it. Is it filling a hole inside of you? Or is it to be of service? 

Success won't fill your holes. Only you can create wholeness.

Matt Hsu - Changing Your Life Through Self Responsibility

Matt Hsu - Changing Your Life Through Self Responsibility

Matt Hsu of Upright Health joins for a Human Chat about how he ended up doing something he loves and enjoys for a living, fatherhood, and overcoming workaholism. Matt's approach to life is especially interesting because his own personal inquiry and research has lead him to trust himself more than anybody else. In a culture where we're taught to rely on others to give us answers about ourselves, Matt calls bullshit. It is this thinking that really propelled myself to learn more about the world and myself through PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. This approach call for radical self responsibility, and it might just be the key to freedom in our lives.

Are You Ready to Dive Deep?

Are You Ready to Dive Deep?

Dive deep into ideas around health, happiness, and healing. But first, dive into the pain. Ask the questions, why so much pain? Why repeated cycles of addiction, depression, suicide, homicide? Is it time to realize that we are a mentally unwell modern society? Are we ready for to admit we need collective healing? Are we ready to see that Health is far more than the physical?

Caution, this episode may make you inquire into some hard questions. It discusses intense situations. It is an REAL conversation with myself and my emotions. 

I'm currently reading a book by Dr. Gabor Mate called, "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts." Many ideas I discuss come from this book.

She has spent most of her 20's in the military and it served her original purposes very well. Prior to meeting Brooke and Mitch and going through the Becoming: Quarter Life Calling Program, she went through an identity shifting process where she realized there must be more to life than the military. She asked the question, "who was I before all of this?" Renee is a humble spirit who radiates presence, love, and leadership. Enjoy her wisdom and maturity — she has a lot to teach all of us!

How do I want to live? An honest and humble reflection

This episode is a little different. I sit down to chat about travels the past few months and how this experience has brought up questions about what I want my life to look like. It's raw, in the moment processing — a real conversation of me not having it figured out yet. I hope there is value in this talk to others asking the same questions.

The Long Game

The Long Game

Hello my dear listener, this episode dives into an understanding I call "the long game."  When you set out for a big goal, you are oftentimes a novice of novices. You know what you want, and you THINK you know what it takes. Then you get into the thick of it and you begin to realize what a beast this goal really is. This is "the long game."  

Short term thinking leads to disappointment and anxiousness. The sooner you can get to thinking in the long term, the quicker you'll get to a place of enjoying your journey. Enjoyment is what we're looking for after all, eh?

Give it a listen to dig deeper into my thoughts and rambles on this topic. If this provokes you in a stimulating way, let us know! We'd like to hear from you. Leave a review on iTunes so we can reach more people like you!

Brooke & Mitch - Growth Stories

Brooke & Mitch - Growth Stories

Brooke and Mitch each share a story of growth/transformation/change. Choosing to undergo a change in your life is a courageous act. It's courageous because you're choosing a path separate from the familiar path. That means that things from your old path may not resonate anymore. People from the old path may not resonate with you, and you with them. You may feel a sense of isolation in the beginning. Choosing self transformation takes guts and discipline. The amount of encounters you'll have that bring you back on your old path are many. The discipline you have to move your own way needs to be GREAT.

Let's Talk FOOD

Let's Talk FOOD

Food and diet has a confusing nature to it in the modern world. There's many sources stating what's right and what's wrong. Where getting into the nitty gritty is useful, there's some low hanging fruit that you can capture first when it comes to understanding how to eat. Here, Mitch teaches you a game you can play any time you see or eat food that will teach you about the nature of that food. Hint - the closer to it's natural state, the better.

Let's get out of confusion and into reality.

The role of IDENTITY in transformation

The role of IDENTITY in transformation

In this episode, Mitch discusses the topic of Identity. Identity plays a huge role in any change you want to make in life. Having a fixed identity will prevent you from stepping outside of the current realm of possibility. Being open to trying different hats on and seeing which one fits is crucial to making a change. The closer you get to an identity that fits, the more energy and inspiration will flow out of you. Whether your journey is anxiety, depression, weight loss, healthy eating, professional development... Working with your identity will be key.
