BRENDAN WALL, featured on Inside the Inspired Podcast

Daniel Carlson is the starting kicker for the Las Vegas Raiders. Daniel kicked at my alma matter, Auburn University for four straight years, where he had a tremendous career and became the SEC's all time leading scorer. He was selected in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2018 NFL draft, but after a rough game in Minnesota, Carlson was cut and was picked up by the Las Vegas Raiders where he's been ever since. He has been the NFL's leading scorer In two of the last three seasons, and just last year he signed a big contract extension locking him in with the Raiders for the next four years. I really enjoyed hearing his perspective on the uncertain times in his career as a newly married man and the significance of the stability provided by a four year contract as a father of one with number two on the way. As an Auburn guy I've rooted for Daniel throughout his entire career, and after getting to chat with him it only reinforced my perception of him as a strong, humble dude with a calm confidence about him. There is nothing to not like about this guy. On the field he has ice in his veins. He's as clutch as they come. Off the field he lives a life deeply rooted in faith and devoted to his young and growing family. But above it all he's an incredible man, husband, and father, and I'm pumped I had the opportunity to chat with him.DISCUSSION POINTSChildhood in Colorado Springs, CORaised by Alabama fans, played at AuburnSpent one year of his childhood in SwedenHow Daniel got into playing footballThe marriage fast trackUncertainty after getting cutStability of a four year contract as a younger dadPlaying in the NFL with a newborn baby at homeGame winning field goal --> birth of first babyCompartmentalizing kicking in the NFL vs home lifeBringing in baby number twoBest marriage advice from DCWhat Daniel struggles withWhat Daniel is the most proud ofWhat Daniel wants his legacy to be with his kidsLINKSIG: @danielcarlson38

He is also the host of his own wildly popular podcast call Effort Over Everything. Jason is also known for the book he wrote titled "As Many Reps as Possible." This book serves as a framework to being more present, living more intentionally, and accomplishing more in life. Not in a hypothetical, mushy way, but in a practical, real way. "As Many Reps as Possible" or "AMRAP" in the CrossFit community is an approach I've adopted in my own life and in today's conversation we talk a lot about how to apply this framework in our roles as leaders of our families. Jason is a hyper present, hyper focused guy, and after speaking with him, its no surprise to me that he was able earn the fittest man on earth while also accomplishing what he's accomplished in business so far all while keeping his family as his number one priority. Above it all, Jason is an incredible man, husband, and father.Discussion PointsJason talks about his childhoodHow Jason got into fitnessFamily support in starting his first Crossfit gymTeaching our kids to chase their dreamsFostering our kids interestsOptimizing timeStepping away from CrossfitJason reflects on his daughter battling leukemiaThe importance of communicationThe importance of date nightPerspective changes after daughter's battle with leukemiaPerspective from real pain and sufferingThe AMRAP Mentality framework for lifeFinding your whyMicro checkinsFocus on what you can controlHard workChanging gearsDetrimental impacts of social mediaMacro check insWhat Jason struggles withWhat Jason wants his kids to remember about himLinksnc.fit@jasonkhalipa on Instagram

Never Say These Words, Dad.. w/ JORDAN PALMER (Highlights)

Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist and is the 2x NYT bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat. Robb has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world via is top ranked podcast called The Healthy Rebellion, books, seminars, and products. Robb has functioned as a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism and as a consultant for the Naval Special Warfare Resiliency Program, and he serves on the board of directors of many innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability. Along with being a true pioneer in both the Crossfit and Paleo movements, Robb holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is a former California state powerlifting champion. Robb has provided seminars in nutrition and strength & conditioning to a number of big time entities including NASA, Naval Special Warfare, the Canadian Light Infantry, and the United States Marine Corps. More recently, Robb wrote a book titled Sacred Cow which also was produced as a documentary which you've probably seen advertised on Netflix. Robb is also the cofounder of the exploding electrolyte brand called LMNT, which I absolutely love. When I originally scheduled my conversation with Robb, he sent me a huge box of LMNT which I thought was such a cool gesture, and after drinking it for a few days Im now absolutely hooked. I have no affiliation with LMNT and get no kickback from them and I'm very hesitant to suggest or recommend supplements, but LMNT is one that I really love and has become a staple in my daily routine. And if you don't know Robb from any of the things I've already mentioned, then maybe you recognize him as a former guest on ultra popular podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience, Ben Greenfield Fitness, Cleared Hot, Mark Bells Power Project, The Doctors Pharmacy, and many many more. If you can't tell, Robb is a guy who does a lot. He's brilliant, articulate, and unapologetically rational, refusing to let politics or other ulterior motives manipulate his conclusions but above it all Robb is an incredible man, husband, and father, and I am so excited to share this conversation with him.Discussion PointsWhat in the world does Robb Wolf do?How Robb became the defender of all things meatThe sustainability argument for meat consumptionWhy Robb is so passionate about defending meat consumptionResponsibility of parents to serve their kids nutritional foodsSimple rules for family nutritionLong term effects of bad nutrition in kidsProviding good nutritional options for kidsHow to shop at the grocery storeIs organic meat worth it??What Robb is the most proud ofWhat Robb struggles with personallyWhat Robb wants his legacy to be with his kidsLinkswww.robbwolf.comwww.drinklmnt.com

A MUST LISTEN for All Little League Parents w/ COLLIN HENDERSON (Highlights)

Today's guest is Steve Eckert. Steve is a husband, a dad, a marine, an entrepreneur, and a performance coach among other things. You probably recognize Steve from the clips of him coaching his clients. He has a no nonsense, in your face style, and he isn't afraid to lean into his experience with the Marines in training he clients. This episode has some heavy language in it. This is not the episode to listen to with your kids in the car - just wanted to make sure to mention that. Steve is an example of a guy who lived a problematic childhood and is now hellbent on changing the trajectory of his family lineage. One thing I really appreciate about Steve is how intentional he is with his time. In our conversation we talked about how he plans and schedules to make sure he has the right symmetry, as he calls it, in his life. I also want to note that in this conversation Steve mentions an upcoming challenge that he is doing with his family for the Save Our Allies Foundation, which is headed up by previous guest of the show Tim Kennedy. This is a 24 hour fitness challenge that is upcoming on March 25th, I've posted a link in the show notes for anyone who wants to join and contribute to raising funds for the Save Our Allies Foundation. This conversation is direct, it's honest, and its loaded with takeaways that you can use today to be a better man, husband, and father. Huge shoutout to Steve for making the time to join us today.DISCUSSION POINTSReflecting on an abusive childhoodBuilding confidenceBreaking the cycleOur kids raise us “My kids are my mentors”Are you doing it for your kids or for you?What's your ideal lifestyle?
