The White Belts are back, and we've brought along an exciting new episode for your auditory entertainment pleasure! We're ecstatic to have Mr. Joey Szatmary as our guest on this 14th episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast. Joey is the Owner and Head Coach of The Lion's Den Elite Training in Colmar, PA. He's also a competitive strongman (having recently won the title of PA's Strongest Man 2017), and a former Olympic Weightlifter. The White Belts have been tuning in to Joey's rapidly expanding YouTube channel for close to a year now, and we've always been struck not just by his knowledge and enthusiasm, but by his honesty and transparency. Joey's entrepreneurial journey is one rife with adversity, and after hearing his story there's no doubt that he's the exact type of guest we had hoped for, someone finding fulfillment along an unconventional path in life. Joey faced the loss of 2 different facilities within a calendar year. But yet, he was able to find a way to persist, and has since gone on to create the Lion's Den - a growing and inspiring training environment that has never been stronger. In this episode, we discuss: the logistical odds of opening the Lion's Den, why strength training became Joey's passion, coping with mental health and motivation issues as a fitness professional, and what Joey's done right and wrong as an entrepreneur. We think that Joey will be a prominent face of the fitness industry for some time. He was an extremely hospitable host, and we truly enjoyed getting to know him! Check out Joey and the Lion's Den at any of their pages below. If you're local to the Greater Philadelphia Area, you're crazy not to pay a visit to the Den in-person.

One of which is CrossFit, the wildly popular and controversial fitness trend that our our usual White Belts, CMatch & Rick, have approximately zero experience with. We discuss the good and the bad of CrossFit's effects on the industry as a whole. We also touch upon: the significance of the CrossFit Games, Greg Glassman, steroids, and our favorite resources to learn from within the field of training and performance.

Ambition. Motivation. Success. These topics and ideas are often brought up and/or discussed here on the White Belts in Life Podcast. Most wouldn't offer much argument to the idea that these words carry some inherently positive energy and are worth pursuing or striving for in life. We're certainly no self-help gurus, but in the age of social media, it is difficult not to be taken by the current of the "grind for success" ideology. However, as White Belts, we are obligated to examine any and all new techniques that may be useful to us, and perhaps it is worth speaking to someone whose definitions for the aforementioned words differ from that of the status quo. Enter Big Chris. Chris D'Amico is a former gifted high school student who rejected the trajectory society had in mind for him. Yet, he's he's created a perfectly happy existence for himself, an existence absent of what most would call "ambition". Embracing the grind isn't for everyone, and we hope you enjoy this synopsis of a conversation that has taken place between these two many times previously. As always, please rate, review, and subscribe on iTunes or whatever podcast player you consume the show on. Also, send us questions or concerns to whitebeltsinlife@gmail.com. If you do, we can make a segment out of it, and that would be fun. Godspeed.

Fear not, fellow White Belts! The ambrosia your ears have been yearning for is upon us. The wait is over. CMatch rides solo on this 9th official episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast, as we welcome Mr. Stephen Metzinger on to the show as our guest. The topic of fitness is a recurring theme and point of discussion on the show, as it is one of the unifying qualities that brought our hosts together, in addition to being the industry in which both CMatch and Rick work. Many of our listeners probably hold that same interest, and a few may be itching to make their living in the gym, and work as a personal trainer or coach. Like many things in life, the reality is quite a bit different than the expectation, and Stephen has more "in the trenches" experience as a trainer than just about anyone we know. Stephen has worked as a trainer in every possible setting, and he worked his way up the ladder the hardest possible way, starting out with a single client and slowly building himself to become a fully-booked, full-time trainer. We discuss this journey and share our experiences of working directly with clientele. Hopefully this will give those listening a very realistic idea of what it is like to start out on, and slowly work down, the path of being a fitness professional.

Fellow White Belts! Assemble! Class is now in session, for the 8th official episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is upon us. We are back to celebrate with all of our wonderful White Belts in Life, how dare you think that we'd abandoned you! After a week off, our 1-Stripers get together to discuss the rash of deaths in the bodybuilding community, touch upon Mayweather vs. McGregor one last time, use Jon Jones' positive test as an opportunity to discuss PED use in all of sports, and briefly mention the Charlottesville events in what is hopefully a very measured (and somewhat frightened) manner. Thanks to all of our fellow White Belts who have listened, and hopefully enjoyed thus far! We've reached 1000 total downloads of the show within the first 70 days of its existence. We are both shocked and elated that this has occurred. May the spirit of Rippetoe bless you all. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're giving away a romantic evening with our lovely host Rick Robotin (could be a man date too). This very special evening will be given away to the first person that leaves us a written iTunes review greater than 240 characters in length. You can find a link to our iTunes page in the show notes. Until next time. Godspeed.

Rejoice! The 7th "official" episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is upon us! On this epsiode, we are joined by the nicest bad MOFO you'll ever come across, Mr. Aaron Meisner. Aaron is a former professional MMA fighter, current MMA coach, and Ultimate Fighter alumni. He also owns and operates the best and most badass Muay Thai gym in Philadelphia, Royal StriKing. Over the course of the show we touch upon White Belts, the growth of MMA, transitioning from fighter to coach, and the Mayweather-McGregor fight. Listen in as this may be the one and only time that an actual non-white belt passes through the WBiL studio's force field. Also, if you're in the greater Philadelphia area and want to learn the Art of 8 Limbs, you'd be wise to check out Royal StriKing.

Stop children, whats that sound, everybody look.....cuz the 6th episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is.....going down? That's right fellow one-stripers, we're here to unleash the 6th episode of the show. Our guest on this particular podcast was our good friend Abraham Dunmeyer (@adunmeye). Abraham fits perfectly in to our framework of trying to speak with those still traversing along more unconventional paths in life, for he has spent the past few years living and working in Los Angeles as an actor, director, model, and producer in both the film and advertising industries. We spend the better part of 90 minutes discussing the state of the entertainment industry, making it as an actor or comedian, the lifespan of midgets, and Thor Bjornsson. Listen in, and inch closer to the moment you #earnyourstripe... Godspeed.

They said it couldn't be done folks. But yet, here we are. Welcome to episode #5 of the White Belts in Life Podcast. On this episode, we are joined by our good friend Rob Watkins, stand-up comedian, "Dude" doppelganger, and all around swell guy. We discuss Rob's journey within comedy, but in the end, a fun conversation that covered a list of topics too numerous to mention broke out. This is a fun one, we hope you enjoy.

Can it be?!? A 4th episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast? Why yes, yes it can. On this episode, our 1-Stripe White Belt Trifecta (CMatch, Rick Robotin, and Jimmy Viola) are joined by world traveler and all-around interesting gentleman, Major James McClendon. We may have broken our own rule, for James may in fact have more than a single stripe on his White Belt. James is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, but there are many notable lines on his resume. In addition to being a USMC vet, James has been a professional wrestler on the independent circuit, a professional basketball player overseas, and a bare knuckle boxer. We spend a good chunk of the episode covering James' experience within the professional wrestling industry, as that is the network we encountered him through. However, he also touches upon his time serving in the military, and gives us his take on motivation, along with his backstory. As previously mentioned, who the hell knows if anyone even reads this, so that's probably enough for the written description. Listen in, please.

The highly anticipated 3rd "official" episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is upon us! It's the audio entertainment your ears have been yearning for. In this episode, our 1-Stripe White Belt Hosts are joined by........guests! Two of them, in fact. Jimmy Viola and Joe Gates jump in about an hour in to the episode. Jimmy and Joe are versatile entertainers who've collectively participated in a number of realms, not limited to: comedy, improv, music, burlesque, martial arts, and even professional wrestling. We touch upon Jimmy and Joe's experiences in these areas, and reminisce over old-school UFC bouts and Wrestlemania main events. Prior to the guests, CMatch and Rick share some of their typical banter, and touch upon fetishes, drinking alcohol, and strength training seminars. We're not even sure if anyone reads these blurbs, so that's probably enough writing. Just listen to the damn show........please?!? Godspeed.

Yes, believe it or not, there is a 2nd official episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast. In it, our fearless 1-Stripe White Belt Hosts primarily discuss the topics of fitness and strength training.

In addition to their fitness origin stories, life in the City of Philadelphia is touched upon. If you don't hate us yet, please listen and enjoy.

This is the inaugural episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast, a show created and operated by 2 personal trainers or 1.5 stand-up comedians. It seems as if every podcast is required to begin their feed with an initial episode that introduces the hosts and further explains the content of the shows to come. So, this is us, doing that. We hope you enjoy.
