Welcome to the Walk-On Mentality Podcast where we discuss topics from walk-on stories and what it means to have a "walk-on mentality", to entrepreneurship, to business, to fitness, mental health, and more. Jackson Mitchell, founder and CEO of Walk-On Men
Learn at 100% Sometimes it takes trying things and falling flat on your face to figure out what the most effective strategy is to do whatever it is that you're doing. Whether sales, building a business, running a department, etc. move fast with intention to see what works best, and do more of that. Plan to win. If you fail to plan, you're just planning to fail. It isn't up to your manager/mentor/peers to tell you what to do every day. If you don't have tasks on your calendar that align your goals, you're missing out on an opportunity to make progress and grow. In my experience, on days where I don't take the time to write down my most important tasks, things simply don't get executed at the same level. Delayed Gratification Delayed gratification is critical, and your ability to delay gratification will have a massive impact on how quickly you reach your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal). During my time as a walk-on, I had to be the king of delayed gratification. Getting my teeth kicked in on the daily, with no scholarship, all with the goal in mind to one day earn a scholarship. It took two seasons, but eventually the work I put in resulted in my desired outcome. The same concept applies in our careers. I know many of us have big ambitions for what we want to build, or what role we want to be in, the money we hope to earn, the fulfillment in our work, etc. Again, I can speak from experience in saying that more often than not, getting to these things does not happen overnight. Getting those things requires patience, experience, hard work, and ultimately doing things you may not be dying to do. It's part of it. Expensive vs. Inexpensive Experience Expensive experience is gained from you doing ‘the thing' that results in you getting that experience. Inexpensive experience is experience you get from watching others do ‘the things' and then being able to learn from that experience without necessarily doing ‘the thing' yourself. In some context, me and my generation must get the experience on our own, but I would invite you to soak up as much inexpensive experience as possible as you pursue your loftiest goals. Find mentors or others you trust who have walked the path you're on and connect with them. Learn from them, and implement what feels aligned. It is a great strategy. Faith and Clarity I had a conversation this week with a buddy of mine and he said something that really provoked thought. “Clarity and faith can't coexist.” This statement struck me. I know many times in my life I've prayed for clarity on what to do in a specific situation, and God will give you signs without question, but it was an interesting question to ask…can faith and clarity coexist? If you had clarity on all of your decisions and where they would ultimately guide your life, well then would you really need faith? I'm not sure. Maybe we should shift our prayers toward having more faith that the present moment is exactly where we are supposed to be in service of God's plan for us…I don't know, something to think about.
On this week's episode we sit down with the president of Scissortail Executive Advisors, John Jones. John is a Tulsa native who now lives in Dallas, and is in a season of extreme focus to building a legacy for his future family. His story includes ups and downs and ultimately a pivotal moment where he realized it was time to make a change and take control of his life. We discuss building a business, physical and mental training, the 4x4x48 challenge, the limiting voice in our heads and much more. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. No limits. @jacksonrmitchell @thewalkonmentality @johnbryantjones
We're back. If you're feeling like you aren't making progress toward your goals I'd ask you this: Can you get 1% better today? 1% of 24 hours is 14 minutes and 24 seconds, and if you invest 14 minutes and 24 seconds into your craft each day you'll invest just under 100 hours in a year's time. Malcolm Gladwell says that in order to be an expert in a field one must invest 10,000 hours into their selected craft. So with just 15 minutes a day for 10 years, you could become an expert in whatever field you choose. You may argue that 10 years is a long time, but imagine how long it will take if you never start… No limits. www.walkonmentality.co
I'm enjoying these solo episodes more than I anticipated now. No limits.
Josh was once 446 pounds. Cigarettes, beer, fast food, and a look in the mirror that prompted him to ask the question "What am I doing with my life?" were the catalysts to him making a change. This was only the beginning of his journey. Through pursuing a position in the army, to ultimately being retired due to medical conditions, to hiking the PCT, to the position he is now in, Josh's story is one of persistence, consistency, and a refusal to give in when it felt like all chips were stacked against him. His goals are ambitious, but he knows that with the level of work and commitment to the process, there are no limits. I hope you enjoy the conversation. No limits.

Coming off a 17 minute PR I discuss a handful of things I have come to love about running. You'd be amazed at how making the decision to lace up and go for a one mile jog could change your life.

Their journey began with a profound belief in the transformative power of yoga, not just on the mat but throughout life's diverse landscapes. Inspired by personal growth stories and a deep desire to share the wisdom they had gathered, Christine and Giocanda envisioned Sama as an international yoga school, weaving together traditional and contemporary practices. This harmonious blend reflects their commitment to guiding individuals on transformative journeys. Rooted in theoretical and practical approaches that integrate mind, body, and spirit, Sama seeks to strike a delicate balance between ancient wisdom and modern practices. Beyond the physical aspects, Christine and Giocanda believe in the holistic impact of yoga, fostering connection, self-discovery, and growth. Through Sama Yoga House, they aspire to empower individuals to embrace authenticity, cultivating purpose and fulfillment that extend far beyond the boundaries of the yoga studio. Christine found her away to the life changing practice of yoga as an unruly teen in the suburbs of Chicago. She was an avid Ashtangi before she discovered her passion and love for the creativity of power and vinyasa flow. Christine is an uplifting yoga instructor who's passion is teaching Bhakti Vinyasa-based classes that focus on devotion, breath, alignment and yoga philosophy. Her vinyasa flow classes will leave you with a sweaty glow and sense of release, while her restorative classes & gong baths will have you feeling blissed and grounded. Christine carries over 1000 hours in yoga & fitness education and loves to teach and share in the world of retreats and yoga trainings. Gia stepped onto her yoga mat for the first time 25 years ago—which quickly led to a new life path. Facing personal challenges, she found both the inner peace and grounded strength to change her life. This transformational experience of yoga called her to deepen her studies in yoga, ayurveda, and philosophy, and eventually leading her first teacher training at a prestigious Austin studio. An eternal student, Gioconda also holds a Master's in Spiritual Psychology and is a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Teaching various yoga disciplines, meditation, and pranayama, she shares her broad knowledge globally through retreats and trainings. Everything in her path has led her to being a founder of Sama Yoga House. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with these incredible women and am excited to see the impact they have with this special venture. I hope you enjoy the conversation and invite you to share it with a friend. www.samayogahouse.com Instagram: @sama.yoga.house @christine_anderson_yoga @goicondayoga Thank you to our sponsors: Good Wolf Provisions Code: MENTALITY https://goodwolfprovisions.com/?sca_r...

"Every man has two lives, and the second one starts when he realizes he has just one." - Confucious For Dustin, the realization occurred in phases. He was diagnosed with blood cancer six days before his wedding. After 10 months of chemo, he was cancer- free, but a new zest for life inflamed a long existant drinking problem. Another 10 months and one DUI later, Dustin checked in to rehab. When his wife picked him up 30 days later, she told him she was pregnant and showed him the first picture of his son. Dustin's second life was fully underway. Dustin's focus is now being a friend to people going through similar hardships. He has spoken to dozens of corporations, raised over $100,000 for blood cancer research, and sold ~5,000 copies of his self- published book Cheeto Dust (And Other Blood on Millenial Hands) with all proceeds going to cancer research. Other highlights of rebuilding his life include losing 50 pounds, running three marathons, fathering two children, receiving multiple promotions at Cisco Systems, leading substance abuse interventions, and most recently, writing a new book. Looks Like We're Running: An Amateur's Guide to Becoming a Marathoner examines whether running can fix a person. The book is a marathon how-to with guidance on training, gear, nutrition and recovery, but most importantly, it is a testimony of the marathon's number one lesson: How to keep going. Since you are part of the Walk-On Mentality Community, you can use "WALKON" at Checkout to get the book for $4.99.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Amanda Tsujikawa. Oh how I enjoyed this conversation and learning what it means to truly be unbreakable in the face of adversity. From the time Amanda was young, she repeatedly made the decision to not settle for the circumstances that she was dealt, but instead to create the reality she wanted to exist in. Through the diagnoses and defeats of multiple bouts of cancer, to summiting 30+ mountains, serving our country, wining spartan races, qualifying and competing in the Ironman World Championship, and more, Amanda is a living breathing testimony to the fact that you are capable of whatever you set your mind to.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Founder and CEO of AllInFit, Marlon Smith. Marlon Smith formed All In Fit in 2019 when he saw an opportunity to utilize his background as a pro athlete to coach the same skills and mindsets with business professionals. Marlon has been an athlete all his life. He grew up in San Antonio, Texas and excelled in both basketball and football throughout primary schooling. He then accepted a full ride to St. Mary's University on a basketball scholarship. He earned a school record for most blocks in a season. After that, he took his talents to football at The University of Texas at San Antonio where played defensive end and recorded the third-highest single-season sack total in school history. Pro recruiters began to take notice. In 2014, Marlon was offered a contract with the Ottawa RedBlacks for their inaugural season in the Canadian Football League. As a starting defensive end, Marlon helped take the RedBlacks to the CFL's Grey Cup. Following his career in the CFL, the Alliance of American Football offered him a contract to play in the United States. Shortly after signing, a major back injury brought his three-year pro career to a halt. Marlon had the choice to give up. However, he noticed that the routines he developed during his professional career kept him active and motivated in every area of his life. Marlon quickly realized that anyone can benefit from his training regimen. No limits.

On this week's episode we sit down with Frank Dades. Frank spent the earlier part of his life experiencing a lot of failures. It wasn't that he didn't have the gifts and talents to achieve, but rarely did he stick to the things he started. He lacked the confidence to be all that he could be. At a certain point in time, he made the decision to change. From drinking and staying up all night, to getting to the gym when his old friends were getting home from the club, Frank took control of his life and what has transpired as a result is inspiring. There are no limits to what we can accomplish when we believe in ourselves and are willing to put in the work to achieve our goals. Listen to hear more.

As a senior in college he made the decision to go all in on creating his own reality and has not looked back. Through working multiple jobs to stockpile money, building businesses, running, surfing, reading and various other avenues for self-development, Keith is continuing to become exactly the man he wants to be and through listening to his story I hope that you will be inspired to pursue the version of yourself that you most want to be as well.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Ryan Hess, Co-Founder of The Loop Running Supply. The Loop is more than just a running store. It is home to one of the strongest running communities in Austin. I remember the first time I stepped foot in the building, something just felt different.

Whether you run a 6 minute mile, or a 20 minute mile, it doesn't matter, there is a place for you. As a result, my curiosity grew as to why this brand started, and how it came to be.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Peter Rushford. After 5 years as a professional skier, Peter took his love of the outdoors and built a wildly successful sales agency partnering with brands like Ugg, Teva, Keen, and more. 37 years later, after getting a peak behind the curtain as to what makes some of the most successful brands in the world of outdoors successful, Peter decided he wanted to recreate that success through launching a product near and dear to his heart. One that most people I know tend to share a love for...Trail mix. Not just any trail mix though, Peter set out to create an extraordinary version of an ordinary snack. 3 years, 52 recipes, 1200 names, and 900 hours later, and Shār trail mix was born. Peter's passions for storytelling, amazing products, great brands, the outdoors, and saving the planet are a few of the reasons why Shār Snacks exist, but I like to think the main reason is for the joy the customer experiences upon eating a handful of this wonderful snack. The best part is, the team at Shār is just getting started. I hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to share it with a friend!

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with All World Endurance Athlete Matt Johnson as he prepares to take on the Leadville 100 Trail Race this weekend. When I met Matt, I assumed that he had been an endurance athlete for a long time, but boy was I wrong. After dipping his toe into the endurance space back in 2021 Matt simply became obsessed. Since then he has completed Ironmans, marathons (one win), ultramarathons, and even ran 87 miles off of a couple week's notice for Leadville in 2022. This year he aims to finish with a bang. Stay tuned. Matt has had some incredible fitness feats, but his story of resilience and not falling victim to his circumstances is even more inspiring.

After just over a year at U of A, Brogan decided to leave big time DI football and take the JUCO route so he could play the position he knew best, but a few months into his time at JUCO he decided there was more he could be doing, so at 20 years old he decided to begin his professional career in the mortgage industry and the rest is history.

On this week's episode we have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the Founder and creative mastermind behind The House of DREAMR and The DREAMR Foundation. A somewhat traditional upbringing led Austin to playing baseball and studying Finance at Johns Hopkins University. After he graduated college, what else was there to do other than follow the path of those before him, right? Wrong. After a few years of working in environments that left him feeling drained, and a pivotal decision to leave everything he knew in the Northeast and move to Austin, TX, Austin decided that we only have one shot at this life thing, so work hard...but work on what you love. Of course a lot more went into his journey than one single decision to move, but that is where his creative journey truly began. Tune in to hear us discuss his background, what it means to be a DREAMR, how limiting beliefs can hold us back from achieving what we ultimately desire and how to overcome those beliefs, and more. House of Dreamr is built upon the desire to contribute in making a difference in lives and cultures through charitable contributions through The Dreamr Foundation. Each collection of the Dreamr brand is inspired by the personal journey of Austin Sutor or one of cultural and social relevance, and continues with an organization that brings awareness, relief, and need to different causes. This ingrained motivation to create awareness through storytelling, and a noble intention of making a difference in the world is deeply important in our customers' buying journeys, and it powers their movement through the products which we bring to market, with our charitable contributions creating lifetime customers and brand evangelists. https://houseofdreamr.com/ @thewalkonmentality @jmitchdoee @austinsutor @houseofdreamr
On this week's episode we sit down with Connor Saeli, an Austin, TX based entrepreneur and one of the Co-Founders of Waterboy. Connor's path to where he resides today is a testament to the fact that the main person keeping you from attaining your goals is often times you. After spending some time working for Goldman Sachs, Connor found himself asking the question "Why not?", and did what most never decide to do: take action. After a season on ABC's reality TV show "The Bachelor", Connor met a wise man who changed everything, and so began his entrepreneurial journey. One company sold and many lessons learned later, Connor still strives to learn, adapt, and find ways to provide the customers of his business with value. Tune in to hear us discuss his athletic career as a Division I swimmer, the importance of appropriately managing your schedule, the benefits of working out for mental and physical health, the entrepreneurial journey, his mindset around competition and business, and why "Do, or Do Not, there is no try."

On this week's episode we have the opportunity to sit down with Cullen Gillaspia, otherwise known as Gilly. The Katy, TX native had his sights set on greek life and taking care of his grades as a normal student until a call from Texas A&M changed everything. Unsure of whether or not football was really going to be for him, Cullen reluctantly showed up giving his best day in and day out, only because of his love for competition (and the voice of his momma) until one day a switch flipped, and from that point on everything changed. 4 years into his NFL career now and Cullen continues to do the mental and physical work to be at his best, and seize every opportunity that comes his way. Persistence, balance, goal-setting, fighting through challenges, and execution are things that come to mind as I listen to Cullen's story. Tune in to hear why it isn't so much about getting an opportunity as much as it is about what you do once you get it, and how if you operate from a place of love, you will always win.

On this week's episode we have the pleasure of sitting down with the Co-Founder and CEO of Huron, Matt Mullenax. Knowing that his chances of playing in the NFL were slim, Matt put a massive emphasis on getting the most that he could out of the classroom.

16 weeks ago I began training for my first marathon, and this past weekend I had the pleasure of running 26.2 miles through my old stomping grounds in Dallas, TX. Through the process of training and the race, I had several key takeaways I feel are applicable to our careers/lives. Here are a few of them: 1. Focus on now. 2. Control what you can control. 3. Preparation greets opportunity, but nothing is guaranteed. 4. Intentionality is imperative. 5. Have a plan. 6. Set goals that scare you. 7. Love the process, trust the process. No limits. @jmithdoee @thewalkonmentalitypodcast
