In this episode of the Forging Freedom Podcast we sit down with Benjamin Knobel. Ben has a crazy story. For 12 years he lived his life as a professional jockey where he spent all hours of the day working hard, cutting weight, and training. But eventually he saw the negative sides of the sport and realized that he no longer wanted to identify with that lifestyle. So he made a shift. Years later he found himself living his life in a way that didn't really feel like living. This was when he decided to take up his childhood dream of wildlife photography. He now works in the Pantanal, a sacred area of wildlife in Brazil, where he uses his skills as a photographer to increase awareness of the need for conservation of the planet. If you'd like to support Ben's mission, 100% of the photo proceeds go to protection of the Pantanal and protecting the Jaguars. Reach out to Ben here. https://www.benjaminjames.me/

In this episode of the Forging Freedom Podcast Garry Junkunh joins us to share his wisdom from the many challenges he's faced and overcome. Garry has always struck me as someone who is SO GOOD at transmuting his pain into learning lessons that he then uses to live a better life. And he's done just that in his personal life. In his past, Garry went through a period of over three years where he lost the contact and communication that he had with his kids due to a sequence of painful events. Garry went on his own personal journey to overcome this and has a wonderful relationship with his son's. Out of this pain he created 100K Fathers, which is an organization that brings together fathers around the world who have experienced broken relationships and lost contact with their kids due to divorce, parental alienation, or a sequence of life events. Their mission is to reunite 100,000 fathers with their kids. This conversation is loaded with wisdom that you won't want to miss when applying to your life and business. Follow Garry Here.

To be in the TOP tier of people, you have to learn the skillsets and mindset tricks that only these people know. The reason most people settle for mediocrity is because they don't know what they don't know. And if you do nothing to change your life, you will simply stay where you currently are. Progress is made when you first change your mindset. Here are the seven common reasons people live a mediocre life: 1. Rearview mirror syndrome - when you look at your past and believe that the future will not be any different. 2. Lack of purpose - you would be surprised at how many people don't have a purpose in life! 3. Isolating incidents - It's a common belief that our small actions throughout the day have no effect on the rest of our life. We give ourselves permission to skip the gym, eat unhealthily, and so on. 4. Lack of accountability - We, as humans, need an accountability partner to help us do the things that we planned, even when we don't feel like it. Without any accountability, it's easy to lose focus on what's really important to us. 5. Mediocre circle of influence - You are the average of the five people you spend most of your time with. In other words, if you hang out with mediocre people, you will stay mediocre. 6. Lack of personal development - Success is something that we attract by who we are. And only personal development will change who you are. 7. Lack of urgency - People's nature is to live with a “someday” mindset. The time will come to change this and that, but it doesn't have to happen yet. If you want to break free from mediocrity and be in the top 5% of people, you must do what they do.

Brett Gozenbach found his whole reality flipped after he was working his dream job in Las Vegas and he heard the news that his coworker had passed away at the age of 30 because of a stress induced heart attack. Within months, Brett started experiencing the same symptoms and this was when he knew he had to make a change in his life. In this episode of the Forging Freedom Podcast, we talk about Bretts transformation as he has done a full 360. He used to help casinos in Vegas market to addicts, now he helps show men the path to unlocking the true power that they've always had within them by helping them see behind the veil of illusions that we call “reality” and show them what they are truly capable of at their core. Brett has helped people to break free of all types of addictions - Porn, cigarettes, weed, alcohol, hookers,ADHD meds, caffeine, and video games. In his words, "These addictions keep us small and keep us addicted to and attached to “the world”. We must be in this world but not of this world. When we learn how to set ourselves free from the things we are addicted to (we all have them), we free up our energy to focus on the path that our hearts have always been trying to guide us towards."

In this episode of the Forging Freedom Podcast we talk all about FREEDOM, the true definition of Freedom, and how to unlock more of it. Most people in society are fixated on making as much money as they can to keep up with their neighbors and retire at 65. If you want to retire at 65, then do it! But for me, and many of the people I know who have designed their lives around freedom, focus on 3 key pillars. Time Freedom, Location Freedom, and Financial Freedom. If you have all the money in the world but no ability to ever leave your current location and no time to spend enjoying your time, then you aren't really free. And you can have all the time in the world (think of a prisoner) but no money/no ability to leave=no freedom. So we want to focus on ALL 3 of these categories in order for us to truly be free.

Even if you never intend to start a martial arts practice, there are universal principles within the art of Jiu Jitsu (and other forms of martial arts) that will allow you to grow in your business, personal life, and your ability to maximize your true potential.
