The JP Pena: Unf***yourself

In this episode, we dive deep into the raw, unfiltered realities of success, struggle, and self-discovery. This isn't just about wins—it's about the battles most people don't talk about. We're breaking down the lessons learned through pressure, setbacks, and the pursuit of something bigger than validation or approval. If you've ever questioned your path, feared failure, or felt the weight of expectations, this one's for you. No fluff. Just real talk, hard truths, and the mindset shifts that separate those who break from those who rise.

In this episode, we sit down with Kyle Cetrulo, founder of the Perinatal Stem Cell Society, to delve into the transformative potential of perinatal stem cell therapy. We discuss the Society's mission to advance perinatal stem cell therapies in the United States, highlighting their partnership with the Sabot Foundation to provide treatments to veterans.  I share my personal experience undergoing a stem cell procedure through their program, made possible by the generous support of the Sabot Foundation. While acknowledging that full recovery may be a journey, this treatment has been a significant step toward a healthier life, enabling me to engage in activities I once thought unattainable. Join us as we explore the science behind perinatal stem cells, the impact of these therapies, and the hope they offer for a better future.

What does it truly mean to become a man? Is it about how much you can bench? How many fights you've won? How many women you've been with? In this episode, I dive into the journey of parenting, becoming a dad, and the challenges that come with fatherhood. I share my personal experiences from this past week with the twins and explore how we, as men, need to evolve—not just for ourselves but to raise men, not boys.

In this episode, I reflect on the lessons 2024 taught me and share how those experiences are shaping my goals for 2025. From embracing connection and setting boundaries to mastering problem-solving and finding gratitude in every moment, I dive deep into the personal and professional growth that comes with self-reflection. You'll hear about: The importance of letting people in and building meaningful connections. Why learning to say "no" is a game-changer for avoiding unnecessary challenges. How gratitude can transform your mindset and help you love the life you already have. The power of living fully, apologizing when necessary, and embracing the journey—whatever it may be. This isn't just about goals—it's about creating a fulfilling life, one step at a time. Join me as I set the tone for an incredible 2025 and challenge you to reflect on your own lessons from the past year. Let's make 2025 our best year yet!

It's great to be back with another episode! It's been quite the recovery journey, so in this episode, we'll discuss everything I've been doing, how it has helped, and why Everwell MD in Newport has been a huge resource in getting me back on track after surgery. (Shout out to Mark!) I dive deep into BPC 157 and TB 500, and we also have a good bike talk since cycling is the only form of cardio I can currently do without putting too much strain on my knees. We'll cover recovery, peptides, fitness, and a little motivation to kickstart your day.

In this episode, I open up about my journey with knee injuries sustained after serving in the Marines and the multiple surgeries I've endured—leading to the possibility of a total knee replacement on my left knee. Tomorrow, I'll be trying a stem cell procedure to delay or avoid the full replacement. I also share my personal weight loss journey, where I went from 260 to 190 pounds, and discuss the importance of leading by example as a father. This episode is a reminder that you shouldn't wait for a medical emergency to make changes in your health and lifestyle—it's never too late to take control of your future.

In this episode of UnFckYourself*, we dive deep into the sweeping changes coming to the real estate industry in 2024 and how they'll impact your business.

Keeping in it simple on this episode answering questions i received via social media regarding my weight loss journey and new life changes i have made.

Last year, while I was in Miami for work, I stopped by the Vault Conference. Of course, always supporting my boy Mario and Patrick Bet-David. The Vault is one of the few real events that truly provides value and is worth checking out. As Willy and I walked the merchandise floor, I saw this shirt that really caught my attention. At the time, I had just started my weight loss journey and had only lost maybe 5-6 pounds. I decided to get one size smaller, figuring it would fit well eventually. Later that day, Matt found out I was in the same hotel and invited me to his room for a podcast episode. I remember putting on the shirt and feeling every insecurity about my weight. Despite that, I pushed forward, swallowed my pride, and owned the fact that I was transitioning to something better. I knew that a couple of months from then, my hard work would pay off. When Matt released the video, it was a wake-up call. But it was also the fuel I needed to keep pushing harder. I was about 245-247 pounds then, already down from nearly 260. Today, for the first time, I put that same shirt on, now weighing in at 210. The excitement I felt seeing how well it fit was incredible. Sure, it's just a shirt, but for me, it meant much more than that. Sometimes, we need to trust the process and not focus too much on quick results. It makes the achievement much more worthwhile. This post is to show that I don't have everything figured out. I'm not a fitness guru, not the perfect dad, husband, brother, or friend. I'm just a man learning from my mistakes and trying to make things right as best as I can, for as long as God permits me to stay here creating memories.

Ever wonder how to properly reset your life? Maybe you feel stuck and question if the choices you are making are even worth it. Or perhaps you've achieved everything you ever wanted, only to find that the excitement was short-lived, leaving you with a sense of emptiness and unfulfillment. Often, we hear people talk about resetting their lives and what needs to be done to achieve this, but few actually do the work to truly understand what lies beyond the surface of life. In this episode, we take a deep dive into truly unfucking oneself, exploring the steps and mindset needed for a genuine and lasting transformation.

Inner healing is becoming increasingly popular as many people realize that the answers we seek are presented to us in various ways: through experiences, opportunities, our mistakes, our traumas, our environment, and most importantly, the frequency we operate on. But what if I told you there is an even easier process to understand this? What if I told you that everything you want to know about your life, purpose, and life's work can be found within your own genes? In this episode, Anabel Vizcara will take us on a profound journey to better understand the way we are designed, how our genes significantly impact our lives, and how through grief, we can achieve a more profound healing than simply forgiving. This episode promises to be amazing, inspiring, and wondrous.

Starting a business and achieving success isn't always as straightforward as we imagine. Somewhere along the way, as we ascend, we realize something essential is still lacking. Our definitions of wins, goals, and dreams suddenly feel unfulfilling, leading us to discover gaps in our sense of achievement. For many, this revelation can ignite a newfound passion; for others, it may result in a complete unraveling back to square one. For Craig Tucker, a successful entrepreneur who has thrived in multiple ventures, it sparked a quest for deeper purpose. He realized that his relentless pursuit of what society labels as "success" — constantly striving, closing deals — wasn't truly fulfilling. His real purpose emerged in giving back, helping young people find their way through golf. This revelation led to the creation of Contrast USA, not just a fashion brand but a lifeline for those most in need. “Contrast: Where Purpose Meets Style, Changing Lives One Swing at a Time.

I must say, this episode offers a transformative perspective on goals, dreams, time, and family. If you're not already following Sofia and Bobby Castro, I urge you to do so. They embody the essence of a true power couple, not only by sharing genuine insights and living their best lives but also by crafting a legacy steeped in Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) – a philosophy they embrace wholeheartedly every single day. Despite facing significant challenges and moments when they had to dig deep and confront reality head-on, Sofia and Bobby grasped the profound importance of pursuing dreams for the sake of those they love. We're often told to grind relentlessly and do whatever it takes to reach our goals. Yet, we sometimes overlook that, in the process, the very people we're striving for can become sidelined, victims to the relentless march of time – a commodity no amount of wealth, success, or luxury can reclaim. In today's world, where social media noise can drown out what truly matters, the concept of legacy might seem diluted. However, Sofia and Bobby demonstrate that through the application of life's lessons and a clear blueprint, it's possible to achieve success, financial freedom, and, most importantly, create lasting memories with those who matter most: our family. Join us as we dive into the lives of Sofia and Bobby Castro, the "Unrefundable Minutes" power couple. Our discussion spans faith, life, family, and business, all while navigating the path to financial freedom. This episode isn't just about success; it's about building a meaningful legacy with the unspent currency of time, shared with loved ones.

Starting off Mondays now with a "make you think" episode. The purpose for this episode is to delve into a thought-provoking question: how often do we find ourselves stuck in pursuits that fail to ignite our passion simply because we lacked the confidence or support to explore our true interests? Whether you're an entrepreneur or in sales, taking that initial step is commendable, but somewhere along the line, many of us settle into a comfortable routine, unwilling to push beyond our current boundaries. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in real estate. We witness seasoned professionals, in their 60s, 70s, or even 80s, still receiving accolades for their real estate sales. Something has gone awry. In this episode, we delve into the art of problem-solving, aiming to break free from the shackles of complacency and pursue our true desires while leveraging our existing careers. Join us as we explore strategies for redirecting our focus towards what truly matters, all while making the most of our current endeavors.

The excuses you've been clinging to are the very shackles holding you back from winning in life and living your best possible existence. These convenient narratives, these self-spun tales of limitation and impossibility, are nothing but self-sabotage in disguise. They're the comfortable lies we tell ourselves to avoid facing the discomfort of growth, change, and true effort. Each excuse is a brick in the wall that confines you to mediocrity, a barrier to the boundless potential that lies within you. Realize this: your best life isn't just out there waiting for you; it's within you, stifled and gasping for air under the weight of your excuses. The moment you stop feeding yourself these falsehoods is the moment you start breaking through to the life you were meant to lead – a life of achievement, fulfillment, and triumph over the insidious lies of self-doubt. Stop feeding the BS and start fueling your journey to greatness.

So, 2024 is here, and 42% of people have already screwed up on their New Year's resolutions. Here is a secret formula to help you achieve more, accomplish more, tackle more goals, and have a 90% success rate. Instead of focusing on the whole year, let's focus on tomorrow, the next week, next month, and eventually Q1. This technique helps you have better control, keeps you accountable, and ensures that you are executing in the best possible way. Follow the tips I provide to maximize your Q1.

As 2023 comes to an end, many are already planning their New Year resolutions. But what has this year really taught you, if anything? It's funny because I turned 40 this year, and it was a huge wake-up call. It goes to show that even when you think you have things figured out, well, it turns out you don't. LOL. The one thing I can tell you is that certain things don't change, like time, value, being grateful, and appreciating what truly matters. This year was the first time I lived life without my dad, and for the first half of it, I was really just trying to understand why or how I could have avoided my dad passing. I felt numb with no care but just many unanswered questions. I soon realized I did everything I could have done, and life has its weird ways of manifesting itself. However, there are also lessons to be learned even when we might not see them at the moment. 2023 might have been a year of struggle, challenges, and financial checks for many. But if we take a step back and fully analyze, 2023 was a year of grounding, realness, a gut check, and truly telling us that we need to "Unfuck ourselves."

Chris Foster is renowned as the SBA king. Having immersed himself in the world of sports and enjoying unwavering support from his family during his formative years, he recognized the importance of delivering results and demonstrating to his mother that the investment was worthwhile. The realm of commercial real estate proves to be a fascinating journey. In today's dynamic market, numerous residential real estate agents are transitioning to the commercial sector. However, instead of leveraging professional guidance, they attempt to navigate the complexities on their own. Unlike residential sales, the commercial arena is both brutal and highly analytical—it is, indeed, a numbers game. Failure to perform and mishandling relationships can exact a steep toll, not only in lost deals but also in the long-term viability of one's business. In this episode, we delve beyond real estate, exploring commercial strategies, investments, and lucrative financial maneuvers. Additionally, we uncover the intricate process of ascending to the ranks of a high-level producer in both business and life.

In this episode, we embark on a journey through the realms of 90's hip-hop, investigations into homicides, tactical shootings, touch on a few conspiracy theories, and explore Johnny's overarching commitment to service. 

Every decision you make now will affect your children. That doesn't necessarily mean it's always in a negative way. However, from what I have observed, a lot of people nowadays lack the vision to provide a better future for their families.

In this episode, we delve deep into the mindset of becoming the right role model for your children and starting to live the right way.   New episode every friday.

Here's a quote that has always resonated with me: 'Be inspired by others instead of tearing them down.' In today's society, it often seems easier to engage in negativity, spend most of your days recording content about others, harboring ill wishes for people's success, or pretending to be a supporter only to cast shadows later. This trend is one of the reasons why I've chosen to work in silence. Despite this, I continue to receive numerous messages from the agents I coach and the people I connect with, especially those looking to start a business, sharing their struggles with individuals trying to undermine their efforts. We frequently discuss the importance of one's environment, but what do you do when even in the right environment, you find yourself stuck in a toxic situation?
