Welcome back to The Winners Paradigm, where we dive into the depths of self-realization, discipline, and success. I'm Alundas Havens, your guide on this journey of introspection and triumph. Today's episode is one I've been buzzing with excitement to share with all of you. We're blessed to have the presence of the remarkable Matt Dira, whose story is nothing short of a masterclass in resilience and determination.

As we delve into this enriching dialogue, I'll be sharing my own experiences on setting colossal goals that often feel too raw, too real to voice out loud. These goals are deeply rooted in personal beliefs, experiences, and yes, my thirst for materialistic ventures—a thirst I've learned to temper and refine into something more meaningful.

I've grappled with notions of surrender and worthiness, turning to journaling as a means to confront my shadows, and I must confess, it's no easy feat. It's about not being afraid to face the person in the mirror who might not always be the best version of themselves.

In this very personal exchange, Matt and I will touch on the deceptive simplicity of the horizon—one that you never really reach but continue to chase. He'll enlighten us with his past hardships and how those moments engineered his present gratitude and perspective, shaping a more robust armor against today's trials.

Together, we'll unpack the art of living in the now, all while fostering relentless growth and embracing our journey's milestones. My own reflections on staying the course, even amid holiday festivities and the chaos of Christmas, might just echo within your heart, setting off a spark of recognition or maybe even inspiration.

And Matt—Matt is a beacon of actionable wisdom. With his guidance, you might find yourself propelled into taking steps that, while daunting now, promise a blooming future. His advocacy for mentorship and coaching could be the turning point you didn't know you needed.

In moments of pure vulnerability, we'll explore the world of fasting. Matt's 86-hour fast is a testament to how challenging our self-imposed limits can unearth astounding revelations about our bodies and minds. I'll share my own fasting aspirations and how a shift in mindset can transform such a daunting prospect into a landscape of self-discovery.

Throughout our conversation, I'll be threading the lessons I've embraced from working with the phenomenal Sean Crane and how that mentorship carved out paths I never knew I could tread.

So, prepare yourself for an episode that's as much about confronting hard truths as it is about celebrating every step forward.

I'm Alundas Havens, your guide on this journey we call "The Winners Paradigm," and today, I'm bringing you a conversation that's going to hit home for a lot of you. I'm sitting down with the man who's become a beacon of growth and transformation, Damian Vickers. You might know him as Pat the Dog on Instagram, but there's so much more to his story than what meets the eye.

Reflecting on my past, I'm not shy about admitting how my old drinking habits led to some truly foolish choices. I've been there—living without strategy, without awareness of who I was allowing into my personal space. It's been a rocky road to realizing just how out of line some of my actions were, and the steep price I paid as a result. It's these experiences, however painful, that have taught me the critical importance of living true to my word and being there, really being there, for my family as a dedicated husband and father.

But this episode isn't just about looking back; it's about the now and the how of moving forward. Damian Vickers, a man whose voice you'll soon know as well as I do, brings to the table his own potent observations on life. Being a father was his ultimate goal, and achieving that dream has shaped him in ways beyond what he could've imagined. He's candid about the rejections he's faced, the insecurities he's conquered, and the sheer determination needed to be the kind of dad he never got to have himself.

In our chat, the concept of mentorship becomes a golden thread. Having a mentor like Brad has been a game-changer for Damian—someone who's helped streamline the chaos of everyday commitments with straightforward diet and workout advice, and more importantly, real coaching on life's larger canvas.

Together, Damian and I peel back the layers on the societal norms that box us in, the raw truths about sobriety, and the relentless pursuit of a life lived on our own unconditional terms. We don't just talk about changing the game; we share the personal costs, the pain, and the unfiltered reality of what it means to step into the ring of self-improvement.

Tune in, because this isn't just another episode of our podcast; it's a mirror into the parts of ourselves that are yearning for change, strength, and the true essence of being a winner. Welcome to "The Winners Paradigm."

Welcome to "The Winners Paradigm," where we delve into the minds of those who dare to tackle life's most challenging hurdles with unwavering determination. I'm your host, Alundas Havens, and today we journey through resilience, truth, and transformation with our esteemed guest, Alex Mont-Ros.

We share our own parallel quests for stability and self-betterment; from Alundas's marine corps recklessness to Alex's baptism by fire in real estate and family life, leading both men to the embrace of a higher power.

Join us as we explore the indispensability of community, mentors, and the pursuit of a life filled to the brim with intention, discipline, and an unshakable commitment to transcend the fleeting lure of materialism. We invite you to engage, reflect, and uncover the power of your inner voice through The Winners Paradigm.

Welcome to another transformative episode of The Winners Paradigm, I'm your host Alundas Havens, and today we're delving deep into the potent world of self-restraint for personal growth. Joining us is the incredible health and fitness coach, Justin Aguirre, a man who knows all too well the power of pushing beyond limits. Currently living the life of a digital nomad in Argentina, Aguirre brings to the table his vast experience with fasting and fitness, helping others master their relationships with food and mental health.

In this episode, we're going to share our personal journeys of fasting and the mental and physical endurance it demands. I'll be opening up about my current 10-day fast, which I embarked on not only for a six-pack but also for self-improvement and to overcome the feelings of failure from my previous fasting attempts.

Together, we'll explore the intricate balance between diet, physical appearance, and professional life, breaking down macros and the profound impact of strategic eating on our energy levels and fulfillment. We'll confront the fear of carbs, the misconceptions of fats, and the discipline required to hold fast to our health goals, even when temptation abounds.

Justin's coaching philosophy is all about aligning with your definition of success, and he's here to guide us through that process. So, tighten those earbuds, get ready for a dose of real talk, and let's welcome, Justin Aguirre to The Winners Paradigm.

As I reflect on the time I spent talking with Mario Dragustinovis on The Winner's Paradigm, it's clear that our conversation was a deep dive into the transformative power of self-belief and accountability. I, Alundas Havens, have wrestled with my own past behaviors, and during our talk, I drew parallels to Mario's remarkable journey as he navigated from addiction to a place of leadership and strength.

In our discussion, Mario shared the intensive dedication to daily habits and the philosophy of "I can and I will," which resonated with me because of my personal adherence to strict diet and rigorous exercise routines. I've learned that respect is earned through giving it first, and being true to oneself is integral, something that both of us live by.

Quote: "So for me, it was really getting to that point understanding that I needed to be the best that I can be, and the way that I do that is by showing up the best way even in the suck, even when the migraines, I was throwing up couple days throughout this fast where I'm feeling like shit, where I'm trying to work my ass off. Regardless of it, if I stuck to that moral principle of the why, if I stuck to the, this is what can get me through, if I stuck to, need a little bit integrity. I set a goal. I'm gonna go out and accomplish it. I am not gonna quit. Nothing's gonna stop me unless I die."
