Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Yesterday, we talked about drifting versus driven and why purpose is the only thing that turns a basic job into an active mission. The world tells you to just follow the crowd, pay the bills, and hope that someday you'll figure it out, but refined men know that a clear way makes the hard road bearable. If you do not lead your life, you will get led by someone else, and if you don't build your own dream, you will spend your entire life serving another person's vision. In this Wednesday episode, we are diving deep into the Purpose Code and laying out the exact four-part framework on how to stop drifting and start walking in your calling: Name what you're fighting for: Write your why down in a single line, because if you can't name it, you can't chase it. Wake with a mission: A real reason to rise beats any alarm clock, and purpose will outlast motivation every single time. Build your own dream: Stop financing everyone else's vision and focus strictly on beating the man in the mirror. Live it loud for them: Your kids become what they watch, not what you tell them, so embody the man you want them to follow. Tomorrow, we are putting boots on the ground with daily execution—the exact questions to ask, how to attack your day with tension, cut out distractions, and live the life of your dreams.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode The world wants you to believe that life is just about going to school, getting a job you don't even like, paying the bills, and hoping that "someday" you'll figure it out. That was our parents' generation, but blindly following the crowd and following people in suits is a trap that keeps you drifting. Life is tough, but refined men know that a clear path and a deep purpose make the hard "how" bearable. In this Tuesday episode, we are putting drifting versus driven side by side to help you turn a basic job into an actual mission. There is nothing wrong with having a job, but it must either align with your calling or serve as an investment engine so your family can eventually do what you were truly built to do. Every single morning in the shower, I pull out a metaphysical sword and declare that we are going to battle spiritually, physically, and financially, and at night I check if I actually fought for my legacy. Either you lead your life, or you get led by someone else. Tomorrow, we are going to break down the Purpose Code and map out how it works Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Every morning you wake up with no reason, chasing someone else's goals and drifting a little further away from your own potential. Every dream you trade for a paycheck is a life spent building someone else's legacy instead of your own. A man with no purpose gets used to build another man's ecosystem. You are going to fight for something in this life, so you need to make sure it is worth your one life and worth protecting your family spiritually, physically, and financially. This week on the Coach JV Podcast, we are confronting the cost of the aimless man and learning how to find the purpose that drives your life. What you repeatedly do gets ingrained in your subconscious mind until it becomes an unconscious daily activity. Here is how we are breaking down our battle plan for the week: Monday: The cost of the aimless man and waking up with a reason. Tuesday: Drifting versus driven. Wednesday & Thursday: Tactical execution and putting boots on the ground. Friday: Wrapping up the entire week to get your shit together. There is nothing wrong with having a job or working for a company, as long as you align with their goals and show up with purpose rather than just collecting a paycheck. If your "why" doesn't make you cry, you need to get a different why. I stayed focused on my internal tug and built my purpose outside of my daily work until I could live the life I always dreamed of. It is time to stop drifting, find what you are fighting for, and step into your assignment. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We have made it to Friday, the day we take everything we have learned this week about Miyamoto Musashi's legendary wisdom and turn it into massive, immediate action. All week, we have faced the brutal reality of what it costs to live as a drifting dabbler with no way. We broke down the strategic mindset of a master, the four defining laws of the Warrior's Code, and the tactical blueprint of the five rings—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. Now, it is time to put boots on the ground, master yourself, and win the fight before it even begins. Today is your victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.I am laying down a strict 7-day warrior challenge to win the week and stop your drift: Pick one way and train it every single day for the next seven days. Cut one habit that serves absolutely no purpose in your life. Face one hard thing you have been actively dodging. Beat who you were yesterday, every single day. Share your progress with someone you trust and reflect nightly on one question: Did I master myself today? Your discipline becomes your foundation, your training becomes your edge, and your clarity becomes your victory. A man who masters himself has already won the battle.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week on the podcast, we have been studying the legendary teachings of Miyamoto Musashi to help you stop being a dabbler and start walking the path of a true master. We have already faced the strategic mindset and the Warrior's Code, but today we are putting the ultimate tactical blueprint into play. I am breaking down the five rings of power that you must master to build a life of complete alignment spiritually, physically, and financially: Earth: Build your foundation. You must know the ground you stand on and have a clear, bigger plan for what you are building and working toward. Water: Stay adaptable. Take the shape of whatever the moment demands and accept everything exactly as it is, because everything you experience comes directly from the foundation you built or failed to build. Fire: Strike with timing. When the moment of opportunity opens up, you do not sit back and dilly-dally—you strike fast, you strike hard, and you move decisively. Wind: Study your rivals. Understand other ways so you can sharpen your own craft and see exactly how other people move, walk, and talk. Void: Master the unseen. The void is you. In those dark, quiet moments when you are sitting in your room completely alone, you must lean directly into your thoughts, your fears, and your anxiety to act from absolute clarity beyond fear. Get the book, read it over and over as your life changes, and let's apply these five rings to protect and support our families spiritually, physically, and financially Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Yesterday, we broke down the difference between the master and the dabbler, and why chasing the quick win is keeping you soft, distracted, and drifting. Today, on this Wednesday run, we are diving deep into the ultimate weapon of the undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi: the Warrior's Code. If you want to stop drifting and start walking the path of true mastery, you have to live by a model that conquers your own mind.I am laying out the four defining laws of the Warrior's Code that you need to begin executing today to align yourself spiritually, physically, and financially: Know the way broadly: Master your own craft, but study other fields to build deep perspective and articulation. For me, I master financial literacy, but I constantly study biohacking and spirituality to gain depth. You cannot understand the universe from just one planet—study many crafts, but lock in on your own. Train relentlessly step by step: Walk the thousand-mile road today and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. Your only mission is to beat who you were yesterday. Do nothing useless: Cut every single move that does not serve your purpose, think lightly of yourself, and think deeply of the world. This is the ego death you need to stop being lazy, pick up the trash, help those in need, and put your family first. See what others miss: When you put in the reps and build alignment, you develop deep spiritual, physical, and financial discernment. You will perceive what the physical eye cannot see, allowing you to protect the people in your ecosystem who cannot see the storm coming. Tomorrow, we are going to dive into the strategic elements of the five rings—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. But today, walk the warrior's path and beat who you were yesterda Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode The world wants you to chase the quick win, do a little bit of everything, and quit the second it gets tough. But that is the path of the dabbler, and a man without a way is destined to be blown around by every wind. Today, on this strategic Tuesday, we are breaking down the legendary teachings of Miyamoto Musashi and The Book of Five Rings—a book first introduced to me back in 2021 by Chase, the gentleman I do San Pedro with out in Peru. This book changed my life because Musashi teaches that victory is won well before the battle even begins. Here are the three raw principles of Musashi's code that I live by and that you need to start executing to transition from a dabbler to a master: Do nothing that is of no use: My right-hand man, assistant, and security trainer Sterling is barred from putting a single thing on my schedule unless it moves my family or ecosystem forward spiritually, physically, or financially. If it's a maybe, it's a flat-out no. Stop wasting time on things that have no use, like playing poker with your buddies when you have other responsibilities to handle. Master one way and understand it all: I love to train and I will always talk about God, but I am not a physical or spiritual coach. I have locked in on my one way: mastering financial literacy and education to be the greatest coach in the world. Find your one way and dominate it. Perceive what the eye cannot see: When you lock in spiritually, physically, and financially, you develop deep discernment. You will see the blind spots and future threats that others ignore. People might call you overcautious or an asshole, but when you stand on your discernment, the truth always comes to light.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Every skill you started and dropped, every battle you fought completely unprepared, every single day you drifted with absolutely no plan, and every craft you never actually mastered is the exact reason you are still just a dabbler instead of a master. The world is full of men who cannot focus for more than five minutes, always being blown around by every single wind. But talent untrained is potential wasted, and a man without a way is destined to remain a dabbler who never masters anything. This week on the Coach JV Podcast, we are covering one of my favorite historical figures to study: Miyamoto Musashi, the undefeated samurai swordsman who left behind legendary wisdom in The Book of Five Rings. This book was first introduced to me back in 2021 by Chase, the gentleman I do San Pedro with in Peru. When I first read it, I read it from my very immature, ego-driven mind—all I saw was a badass warrior who kicked everyone's ass. But over the years, after experiencing somewhat of an ego death and learning to direct my drive toward building empires, I have read it from a completely different stance. This week, I want to teach you how to plant your roots deep into the ground like an unshakable oak tree. Over the next five days, we are going to break down how to stop drifting and start walking the path of mastery: Monday: Facing the heavy cost of being a man with no way and achieving victory over yourself yesterday. Tuesday: Moving from the strategic mindset of a dabbler to the focus of a true master. Wednesday: The ultimate breakdown of the Warrior's Code and how it works. Thursday: Putting boots on the ground with the tactical, real-world applications of the Five Rings in your life. Friday: Wrapping it all up to get your s*** together and take massive action. These are fast, high-impact episodes running about three to seven minutes long sometimes with a few raw rants thrown in—designed to get you excited, get you motivated, and program these truths directly into your subconscious mind until they become an unconscious daily activity.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I see men driving around in brand new cars and wearing fancy watches when they don't even have their family's security covered. You do not need a new car or a fancy watch; you need to make sure your family is spiritually, physically, and financially taken care of. This Friday, I am recapping our entire week on why superior men choose their suffering before life forces it upon them, and I am laying down a savage 7-day challenge to get your house in order. Every hard thing you keep dodging, every easy path you keep taking, and every standard you drop when things get tough is exactly why you feel anxious and unsettled. Deep down, you always know when you are avoiding what must be done, and comfort today is just a loan that life will always collect with interest. Over the next seven days, I challenge you to eliminate one thing that weakens your legacy, train and save even when you don't feel like it, hold your standards when temptation shows up, and make one move that protects your family's future. Find an accountability partner, share the suffering you chose, and ask yourself every single night: Did I protect, or did I avoid. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we have been confronting the cost of the avoidant man and learning that comfort today is just a loan that life will always collect with heavy interest. We built the Protector's Code to cover our families spiritually, physically, and financially, but none of it matters if you do not put boots on the ground. Today, we are focusing on daily execution with five non-negotiable rules to stop the drift and protect your ecosystem: Cut what weakens you: You have to kill pornography, bad habits, and weak inputs. Pornography is a massive epidemic, and I challenge you to go just one week without it to see how clear your mind becomes. If that isn't your struggle, remove the undisciplined, sloppy friends in your circle for a week and watch your life shift. Train when you don't want to: Choose your suffering before life forces it upon you. I am not motivated when my alarm goes off at 3:15 AM. I woke up exhausted this morning, but I got my ass to the gym because the motivation only comes after you get the blood flowing. Save when you could spend: Keep building and stacking your resources while other men are staying distracted. Cover the mother of your kids: Together or divorced, you must make sure she has what she needs. People think it is weird that I still financially support my ex-wife, but I do it because of my son. She shouldn't be forced to work two jobs and disrupt my son's life. Providing financial safety allows her to nurture our son with a peaceful and sound mind. Shield the children: Never let your kids carry adult problems or financial stress. If you cannot control your mood or your attitude, take it outside and get help, but do not dump that burden on them. Go figure your finances out and let them see you building. Tomorrow we wrap up this entire series to get our houses in order, but today is about execution Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Most men like to talk about being the provider and protector, but when things actually hit the fan, they are completely unprepared. I see it all the time: men who want to lead their homes but have let themselves become soft and physically incapable. If you can't touch your toes and you can't see your own wee wee, you cannot protect your family. The truth is that a soft body guards absolutely no one. In this Wednesday episode, we are building the ultimate defensive shield for your household with the Protector's Code. This isn't about being a fitness model; it's about having the raw physical capability to take care of the people who depend on you if something goes down. I am breaking down the four vital pillars of the code that you need to execute to protect your family: 1. Protect spiritually: You must lead your family before God first, because a real man always prays before he provides. We must pray for spiritual covering and wisdom over our homes. 2. Protect physically: You must train your body to be capable of defending your family, because a soft body guards no one. If something goes down, you must be agile, quick, and physically ready to make sure they are safe. 3. Protect financially: Work relentlessly to cover your people, because true provision is simply protection with a solid plan. 4. Build an ecosystem: Make your family your absolute, uncompromised priority and build structures that will protect them even when you are gone. Stop choosing easy comfort and start building a body and a spirit that can withstand the storm before life forces it upon you Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode The world wants you to believe that you should just do whatever feels right in the moment, bend whenever temptation shows up, and chase comfort at all costs. But that is a trap that will destroy your peace. I am here to tell you that superior men do not live by their mood; they live by a strict model. Your word has to hold, and a no must mean an absolute, final no—whether that means shutting down flirting from another woman to protect your marriage, or telling your buddies you aren't playing poker because your relationship is struggling and needs your focus. In this Tuesday episode, we are breaking down the battle of feelings versus standards. If you do not have a principal model built on peace, freedom, and family structure, your standards will slide the second temptation shows up. You can either choose to suffer with purpose on your own terms, or you will suffer completely unprepared when the storm hits. Tomorrow we build the Protector's Code, but today you need to decide if you live by your model or your mood. Warriors Rise!

Deep down, you always know when you are avoiding what must be done. I am here to tell you that comfort today is just a loan, and life will always collect that debt with heavy, unavoidable interest. This week, we are confronting the cost of the avoidant man and learning why the superior man chooses his suffering before life forces it upon him. We must stop avoiding things, step into our truth spiritually, physically, and financially, and protect our families. Here is how we are breaking down our battle plan this week: Monday and Tuesday we focus on strategy and look at feelings versus standards. Wednesday we break down the tactical framework of the Protector's Code. Thursday we put boots on the ground with daily execution. Friday we wrap it all up and get our shit together Many of these topics may feel repetitive, but we have to repeat these truths over and over until they get deeply ingrained in your subconscious mind and become an unconscious activity.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, “The American Dream?” Chances are, most of us have similar ideas that immediately flood our minds. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton shares why our universally accepted version of the American Dream is leading many people down a path of unintended negative consequences. Instead, perhaps we should be searching for a different type of American Dream. Something better. Something that more closely aligns with meaning instead of scorecards.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We have made it to Friday, the day to get motivated and inspired, but motivation is fleeting—discipline and consistency are what will actually set you free. All week long, we have faced the hard truth that the weight you carry on purpose is the legacy you leave behind. A comfortable man who avoids every burden, shuns duty, and chooses ease builds absolutely nothing worth his name, living a life that leaves no mark. In this Friday recap, we are taking everything we learned—from the Legacy Code to daily execution—and putting it into immediate, massive action with a 7-day challenge to win the week. I am challenging you to take full responsibility with no blame and no excuses, keep one commitment that is costing you, choose the hard road once a day on purpose, and share the weight you picked up with someone close to you. Every night, I want you to reflect on what you built that will outlive this week. Your responsibility becomes your rank, your suffering becomes your strength, and your commitment becomes your legacy. A man who bears what others won't leaves what others can't. Let's get our houses organized, protect our ecosystems, and get ready to kick some ass spiritually, physically, and financially!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode My backyard in Arizona is an absolute disaster right now after the recent dust storms, with trees and debris scattered everywhere. I just got back from speaking last week and all I wanted to do today was rest, but I am forcing myself to get out there and clean up every bit of it. It is the exact same reason why I force myself to do the dishes and the laundry every Sunday even when I don't feel like it—because a man who constantly avoids the hard things builds a comfortable life that leaves absolutely no mark. In this tactical Thursday episode, I am giving you the five daily execution steps to stop taking the easy road and start carrying the weight of your assignment: Own something hard by taking on one heavy burden that nobody is asking you to carry. Keep one hard commitment and do the exact thing you do not feel like doing. Choose the harder right by deliberately picking the path that costs you more. Serve your people by stepping up to carry the weight for your family today without complaining. Build the future by laying one brick toward something that will outlast you. Stop choosing comfort over your calling, stop complaining about what you are supposed to do as a man, and let's start building a legacy that actually outlives u Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode My CFO worked for free for four years for our company. He did not wait for success to be handed to him, he stepped up and volunteered for what other men would not do, and today he has the life he deserves because responsibility is not given, it is taken.. In this Wednesday episode, we are diving deep into the Legacy Code and breaking down why the weight you choose to carry on purpose is the only thing that builds a name worth remembering. The world wants you to travel light, avoid pain, and live only for yourself, but a comfortable man builds absolutely nothing.I am laying out the four pillars of the Legacy Code that I live by and that you need to start executing: Pick up the weight: Responsibility is not given, it is taken. Stop being avoidant and volunteer for the hard jobs other men run from. Commit past the feeling: True commitment only starts when your motivation dies. I remember when Jeremy and I were building our business and he had to tell me that he could not pay me this week. We did not quit when we ran out of money, we committed past the feeling because that is when real commitment begins. Suffer on purpose: Choose the hard road while it is still a choice. Do not wait until your family is in peril or your life falls apart to finally activate. Build what outlives you: Plant the trees you will never sit under. Legacy is love with a long term horizon. Tomorrow, we are turning this code into a daily execution plan Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode The world wants you to believe in the ultimate lie: travel light, owe nobody, avoid pain, and live only for yourself. But I am here to tell you that ease builds absolutely nothing, and a life of constant comfort is a life that leaves no mark. If your wife, your partner, or your team members have to ask you to do the exact same thing over and over, you are bleeding respect and destroying trust. Responsibility is the price of respect, and if you are not responsible, you cannot be trusted. As men, we are not here to live for ourselves; we are here to serve our families and protect them spiritually, physically, and financially. The heavy weight you are carrying in your life is not an accident; it is your divine assignment. You do not complain about the burden; instead, you realize that you get to carry it. Because we no longer have to hunt for our own food, we must actively create our own purposeful suffering through things like heavy exercise, ice baths, or jiu jitsu to forge ourselves into the leaders our families need. Stop chasing ease, step up to your assignment, and build a legacy that lasts. Tomorrow, I am breaking down the four frameworks of the Legacy Code, but today, you need to decide if you are choosing comfort or your calling. Warriors Rise!

The world wants you to believe that comfort is freedom, but I am here to tell you that comfort is just a life that leaves no mark. A man who carries nothing builds nothing worth his name .This week on the podcast, we are confronting the silent decay of the comfortable man and choosing calling over comfort. I have helped 16,000 people worldwide navigate through macro and microeconomics, and my absolute heavy focus is helping men understand how to protect their family spiritually, physically, and financially. Over the next few days, we are going to break down the legacy code, lay out daily tactical execution, and build a massive point of motivation so you can go out there and activate.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I am sick and tired of watching men run away from their own lives, hiding behind cheap motivation and pretending to be strong when they are actually scared inside. Your anxiety is not some mystery; it is simply the natural tax you pay for every single promise you broke to yourself and every hard task you skipped when nobody was watching. Real confidence cannot be faked or borrowed, because it is a receipt for the actual work you put in and the self-trust you earned. In this Friday recap episode, we are wrapping up our entire series on the anxious man by taking everything we've learned, from building a raw self-trust code to answering the brutal, defining questions of your daily schedule and turning it into massive action. I am laying down a savage 7-day challenge to help you stop negotiating with yourself, stack undeniable proof of your reliability, and protect your family and ecosystem. If you want to stand in the calm of the storm tomorrow, you have to do the hard things today and build consistency so sickening that your fears finally go quiet. Here is what I am challenging you to execute starting today: Make three promises to yourself every single morning and keep every one with no excuses. Do the hardest thing before noon. Log it honestly as a deposit or withdrawal from your bank account of self-trust. Share a promise you kept when it was hard with someone you love. Reflect nightly on whether you truly earned your confidence today. Stop faking your strength, stand on your word, and let's go out there and lead our families well Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I hear men all the time talking about how they want to protect and lead their family, but their daily actions tell a completely different story. If you say you are going to wake up early to work on your life, do you actually get out of bed, or do you negotiate with your alarm clock? If you say you are going to train, are you putting in the work, or did you make excuses and negotiate with yourself again? Your son and your daughter are watching every single move you make, and they are copying your behaviors, not your words. If they do not see you making your fitness, your finances, and your family a priority, they are never going to do it themselves. In this tactical Thursday episode, I am holding up the mirror and asking you the four defining questions you have been dodging about your schedule, your training, your money, and your leadership. If you cannot keep your word to yourself, there is absolutely no way your family is going to trust you in the future. It is time to stop negotiating with yourself, wake up when you said you would, train, handle your finances, and pray for and protect your ecosystem Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Your anxiety is a bill you are paying today for the promises you broke to yourself yesterday. If you want to stop feeling behind and quiet the unshakeable doubt in your head, you have to stop faking confidence and start earning it. In this Wednesday episode, I am breaking down the Self Trust Code, which is the ultimate system to rebuild your foundation and stop the constant withdrawals from your mental bank account. Here are the four pillars of the code I am living by and that you need to start executing today: Keep the promises you made. Every single kept word is a deposit into your confidence, and every broken promise is a withdrawal that you will feel. Do the hard things first. If you choose comfort now, you are choosing anxiety later. You have to pay the price today while it is still cheap, because waiting will only make it expensive in the future. Be sickeningly consistent. Motivation is a lie, but the reps never lie. Boring, consistent days are exactly what build unshakable men. Bank the evidence. Confidence is proof that you can trust yourself. When you stack enough proof, the fear in your head finally goes quiet.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I used to tell people to fake it till they make it, and I even wrote that exact advice in my very first book, "You Must Believe Way of Life". But I was wrong, and that fake hype was a lie that was ultimately hurting my family. The world wants you to believe you can just borrow confidence from other people or wait around until you magically feel ready, but self-trust is built and can never be borrowed. Mentors can hand you knowledge, but it never actually becomes wisdom until you choose to activate on it. When you look yourself in the eyes in that mirror, you know deep down whether you actually did what you needed to do. You cannot fake belief, because real confidence is a receipt for the work you actually put in, not just a temporary feeling. Your discipline today is the only thing that earns your peace and calm tomorrow. Stop waiting to feel ready, stop trying to borrow your confidence, and start earning your receipt Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I know the exact reason why your anxiety is through the roof and why you constantly feel like you are falling behind. The truth is simple and painful: a man who feels behind usually is, and deep down, he knows it. Your anxiety is not some mysterious disease; it is the physical bill coming due for every promise you broke to yourself and every shortcut you took when nobody was watching. True confidence can never be faked or found, because it is earned through kept promises. This week on the Coach JV Podcast, we are dissecting the anxious man and mapping out how to reclaim your strength. Today, we kick off the series by facing the hard truth about the unshakeable doubt and unease that follows you when you skip doing what you know needs to be done. Here is the blueprint of what I am bringing you on this Monday through Friday run: Tuesday: We contrast found versus earned confidence. Wednesday: We break down the four factors of the Self Trust Code. Thursday: We dive into raw tactical application. Friday: We wrap all this up so you can take massive action.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This Friday, I am recapping our entire week on the catastrophic cost of being an undecided man and laying down a challenge that will separate the drifters from the leaders. A man who decides in advance never negotiates with the storm, but if you live without early principles, you are not free; you are just up for grabs for whatever feelings or chaos hit you next. We have spent the last few days breaking down the decided man's code and daily execution, but none of it matters if you do not activate and put boots on the ground right now.I am challenging you to take a brutal 7 day test to prove who you really are. Over the next week, you need to write down your top three principles, make that one hard call you have been running from, name your repeating mistakes out loud, and build a real guardrail so you stop looping in the same pain. If you do not build on your lessons, they are not wisdom and are instead just scars. It is time to let your principles become your compass, your decisions become your direction, and your lessons become your armor to protect God, family, and your ecosystem at all costs. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode For years, I let my feelings dictate my choices, and it cost me more than I care to admit. But on this tactical Thursday, we are putting an end to the drift. We've already talked about the brutal cost of being undecided, reactive versus decided, and building a code. Today, we are putting boots on the ground with five immediate, daily actions to turn your principles into permanent guardrails. If you do not have rules decided in advance, you are not free; you are just up for grabs for whatever storm or mood hits you next.Here is your daily execution protocol to take back control of your life: Write down your principles: List three lines you have decided in advance that you will never cross. For me, in business, that is integrity, honesty, and an uncompromising belief in God, peace, freedom, and family structure. Decide within the hour: Kill one lingering decision that is holding you back today. Cut off that toxic relationship, make the business call, or stop that bad habit. Stop waiting and make the choice right now. Debrief one failure: Look at a recent mistake, ask yourself what it actually cost you, and extract the wisdom so you can learn from it. Every failure is tuition you paid to get smarter. Build one guardrail: Stop relying on hope and willpower. Turn that lesson into a system so you can make sure the mistake does not repeat itself. Reflect before bed: Every night, ask yourself the ultimate question: Did I lead my life by principle, or did I lead by mood? Stop letting your feelings run the show and start standing on principles that do not bend. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I have paid some incredibly expensive tuition in the school of life, and most of those costly failures happened because I didn't decide my boundaries in advance. In this tactical Wednesday episode, we are building the ultimate defensive shield for your family and business: the Decided Man's Code. A man without a code is not free; he is just up for grabs for whatever storm comes his way, and his indecision will eventually end up deciding for him. Today, I am giving you the exact four steps to build your guardrails and stop repeating the same painful loops over and over: Set your principles first: You must draw the line in the calm before the storm hits, because rules made in the quiet are the only ones that survive when things get chaotic. Decide and move: Waiting is a choice, and it is usually the wrong one. A made decision beats a perfect decision every single time, and dragging things out only disrespects your standards and kills the respect others have for you. Mind the lesson: Stop treating failures as defeats and start treating them as the tuition they are. Name what went wrong out loud, collect the wisdom, and stop repeating the same old loops that hurt your family and ecosystem. Build the guardrail: Your willpower is not enough. You have to change the system, create standard operating procedures that align with your principles, and hold everyone in your ecosystem accountable from day one. Stop letting your feelings run your life and start standing on principles that do not bend Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I spent years trapped in a vicious loop, repeating the same painful mistakes in business and relationships because I fell for the ultimate modern trap. The world tells us to keep our options open, go with our feelings, and figure it out later. But that is the exact trap of the undecided man, and it will destroy your relationships, your finances, and your business. At 50 years old and running multiple companies, I am finally learning the lessons that I should have mastered decades ago. The truth is that every single seed you plant will bear fruit. If you are struggling today, it is because of the seeds you planted yesterday. If you do not learn the lesson, the cycle will repeat itself over and over until you feel enough pain to make a change.In this episode, we break down the stark contrast between reacting and deciding. I share why a slow yes beats a fast regret every single time, and how learning to say a firm, immediate no, even to dear friends, is the only way to protect your business and your family ecosystem. I developed my own model based on integrity, honesty, uncompromised belief in God, peace, freedom, and family structure. It is time to set your principles early, end the debates in your head, and stop letting a score keeping world run your life Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we are kicking off a brand-new series about the undecided man. There is a core truth you must understand: a man who decides in advance never negotiates with the storm. If you do not have principles to guide your decisions, you aren't free—you are just up for grabs for whoever or whatever wants to steal your attention.When you live without deciding in advance, you pay a catastrophic price. I break down the four main ways indecision is quietly destroying your family, your business, and your leadership: Every rule you bend in the moment: When you avoid difficult conversations because you're worried about ruining a friendship or because you like someone, you will pay the price. Leaders who bend the rules for people they like lose respect and build a destructive environment. Standards must be based on facts and logic, not feelings. Every choice you make on a feeling: True integrity means keeping the rules the exact same for everybody—rooted in honesty, uncompromising belief in God, peace, freedom, and family structure. It doesn't matter how close our relationship is; if you step outside those principles, the standard does not bend. Every lesson you refuse to name: I was recently talking with my CFO about an interesting business dynamic we went through, and I was blown away by the total lack of awareness and refusal to name the lessons in what happened. If you don't sit back and name your lessons, you cannot learn through them. Every mistake you excuse again: When you constantly justify and excuse your mistakes, you create a loop. If you don't break it, their loop eventually becomes your lived reality. Stop negotiating with the storm. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I am recording this episode raw and unfiltered directly from my phone in a very remote location. I don't have my normal microphone setup, so the audio might be a little rough, but I absolutely refuse to miss a Friday recap because this message is too critical to wait. Today, we are bringing it all together. If you cannot see it in your mind, you will never hold it in your hands, and what you repeatedly do is what gets deeply ingrained in your subconscious. Right now, we are in a massive fatherhood crisis where too many men are spiritually, physically, and financially bankrupt. Because of this, our sons are left searching the world for an identity, falling victim to athlete worship, weak father models, and influencer culture. I am here to tell you that your son should never have to admire strangers because you refuse to rise.In this Friday recap episode, I am pulling together our entire weekly framework to give you a definitive living standard: The 4 Pillars: We must lead spiritually as our family's covering, protect physically by staying strong and disciplined, build financially by creating order with assets instead of just surviving, and model personally by never demanding what we refuse to live. The Daily Execution: We must practice visible discipline, teach through hands-on action, completely eliminate hypocrisy, speak identity into our boys, and run a brutal daily self-audit. Identify and Correct: Find one area where you are not modeling strength and fix it immediately. Intentional Conversation: Have at least one deep, focused talk with your son or a young man you influence. Share the Standard: Tell someone you know, "Here is how I became a better example this week". Nightly Reflection: Ask yourself before your head hits the pillow: "Did I give him something worth following today?". But I don't want you to just listen. I want you to execute. I am challenging you to my 7-Day Fatherhood Correction Plan starting right now: Our sons watch our habits, study our discipline, and become what we embody.

I want to remind you that words don't raise boys—our examples do.Moving from yesterday's high-level framework, today is all about the tactical application and daily execution we must run to replace empty examples with a living standard.I break down the five critical daily steps we need to implement immediately: Visible Discipline: Let your son physically see you train your body, pray, seek God, and work hard to build your empire. Teach Through Action: Bring your son directly into the process. My son and I love to work out together, and I always remind him that we put in the work first before we get to the reward. Eliminate Hypocrisy: Lead yourself first. We cannot demand discipline from our sons if we are living a sloppy, undisciplined life. Speak Identity: Remind him who he is, what he stands for, and teach him to be proud of himself while seeking his Father in heaven. Daily Self-Audit: Ask yourself the ultimate question at the end of every single day: "Would I want my son to become the man I was today?" Stop outsourcing masculinity to influencer culture. Be the example, rise up, and—as I always say—get your shit together! Warriors Rise!

HardLore is joined by Ryan George & Todd Jones of CARRY ON for a thorough deep dive into the complete history of the band, following their long awaited return this past June at Tied Down fest, and on the eve of their hometown return at Sound & Fury festival.From beginning as a metallic band called Persevere in Atascadero, California, to changing their name (and their many lineups), recruiting Todd, Corey Williams and Nick Jett in the band, finding their musical identity on their Roll With The Punches 7", refining it on their one and only album A Life Less Plagued, and Ryan infamously deciding to stop being straight edge, quickly ending the band... This is a fascinating window into a band Bo and I grew up listening to and loving for 20+ years, and it was honor to be in the room as these two shared so much about such a beloved band.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I am coming to you raw and unfiltered from my phone on a camping adventure. The AC is humming in the background and I completely forgot my microphone, but I never miss a podcast because this message is too critical to wait. I want to remind you that what you believe in your heart and think in your mind will eventually become your reality, and what you repeatedly do gets deeply ingrained in your subconscious mind.We are in the middle of a massive fatherhood crisis. Too many men today are completely bankrupt spiritually, physically, and financially, and because we refuse to rise, our sons are left searching the world for an identity. They are falling into athlete worship and influencer culture, outsourcing their masculinity because their fathers are absent in discipline. But I need you to hear me: words don't raise boys—our living examples do.In this episode, I am laying out my 4-Part Fatherhood Framework to help you replace an empty example with a living standard: Spiritually (Be the Covering): I let my son see me pray every single day, see me seek God as my true Father, and watch me live out my principles on a daily basis. Physically (Be the Protector): I train my body, carry physical strength, and show my son that true discipline is masculine. Financially (Be the Builder): I create absolute order with my money, build real assets, and teach my son true stewardship and the difference between assets and liabilities, rather than just teaching him how to survive. Personally (Be the Model): I refuse to demand anything from my son that I am not willing to live out myself. I can't tell him to be healthy or work hard if I'm not willing to do the same. I have to show him. Tomorrow, I am going to break down our exact daily execution and tactical steps, and on Friday we are going to get inspired to go out there and kick some ass Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I am recording this episode raw and unfiltered from a boys' trip in the middle of nowhere with my 10-year-old son, John. My audio might be a little funky because we're out here roughing it, shooting side-by-sides, and doing archery—but this message is too urgent to wait.We are in the absolute thick of a massive fatherhood crisis. Too many men are completely bankrupt spiritually, physically, and financially, forcing their sons to look to the world and worship online influencers just to find an identity. But I need you to understand: words don't raise boys—our living examples do.Recently, I was at the grocery store and watched men leaning on their shopping carts, completely glued to their screens. Their wives were grabbing all the groceries while their kids wandered around unsupervised. It triggered me because if you are so checked out that you aren't scanning your environment, protecting your family, or showing up, you are leaving them vulnerable. In this episode, I am challenging you to stop outsourcing masculinity. Your son studies your discipline and watches your habits. He is slowly absorbing everything you embody. If you are living like a fat slob but telling him to get in shape, your words will never land. I am 50 years old, but I exercise every single day and stay disciplined in my finances so I can actively lead, protect, and ride side-by-sides with my boy. Stop being a weak, checked-out father.

In this lively update episode, Candy and Ashley spill the tea about new developments that occurred after their season 5 episodes aired. What intersection between their Scamanda and Sherri Papini episodes did the hosts discover? How are “American Nightmare” survivors Denise Huskins Quinn and Aaron Quinn continuing to advocate for victim rights? What new projects are on the horizon for Shania Twain and John Grisham? How are the paths of Megan Follows and Lucy Maud Montgomery crossing yet again? (Could they be kindred spirits?
Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode I am recording this episode straight from my phone in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere in Jay, Oklahoma, where my son and I are on an incredible father-son trip. First off, I apologize if the audio is a little off because I forgot my microphone, but this message is too urgent to wait.We are living in a massive fatherhood crisis. Too many men today are completely bankrupt spiritually, physically, and financially, and because we refuse to rise as examples, our sons are left searching for identity and role models from strangers.While sitting in a resort lobby, I witnessed a family where every single person—father, mother, and kids—was completely buried in their phone, ignoring each other in a beautiful environment where there was so much presence and real-world connection to experience. I refuse to let that be our reality. My son and I are fully present, laughing, and having fun. He knows that we work hard and we play hard—which is why we've spent this trip doing tactical weapons training, riding side-by-sides through rivers until we got soaked in mud, and visiting a petting zoo where we watched the mini goats run from the rain like it was a hurricane.What you repeatedly do gets ingrained in your subconscious, and if you are absent in discipline, your son will look to the world for his identity. Your son should not have to admire strangers because you refuse to rise.Join me in this raw episode as I challenge you to examine your own spiritual, physical, and financial life. It's time to put down the phone, be the living example, and show your son what a real man looks like Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode It is Friday, warriors, and you know what that means...it's time to recap the week, get your shit together, and prepare to dominate. All week long, we have been fighting the silent monster that holds so many men back: the paralyzing fear that you are not enough. We've stripped off the masks, looked at the roots of our father wounds, broken down the Overcomer's Code, and put a daily execution protocol in place.But I'm not letting you off the hook just because it's the weekend. True growth doesn't happen in your comfort zone. Today, I am laying down a 7-day challenge to prove to yourself who you really are: Write the truth about who you are and read it daily. Stop letting a score-keeping world define your worth. Take one rep of courage you've been dodging. Step into your fear like a rocket ship. Catch one lie a day and answer it instantly with the truth of who God says you are. Tell one trusted brother what you've been hiding and share one fear you actually faced this week. Reflect nightly and ask yourself: Am I standing on truth more than yesterday? You are not the fear in your head; you are who your Maker says you are. Your worth is your foundation, your truth is your armor, and your courage is your proof. It is God, family, and the protection of your ecosystem at all costs. Let's kick some ass this weekend and get ready for an amazing Monday. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode It's Thursday, and on this show, that means we are getting highly tactical. This week, we've been facing the silent battle of the man who feels like he is not enough—the wins that never satisfy, the doors kept shut, and the masks we wear. But a man ruled by that fear isn't humble; he is truly hiding.Today, we are moving past the theory and putting the Overcomer's Code into action. I am giving you the five daily execution steps you need to start doing immediately to take back your power: Preach the truth out loud: Read who God says you are out loud. Stop looking for edification from your physical, earthly father. You are a child of the most high. Take one brave rep: Do the exact thing your fear is telling you to avoid. I step into discomfort every single day—whether it's through exercise, nutrition, or writing a book with dyslexia. I teach my son to do the exact same thing: battle the fear and dive right into it. Catch the lie: The moment that accusation creeps into your head telling you that you aren't enough, name it as a lie. Answer it instantly with the truth: "My father, God says I am enough". Open up to one man: Strip away the secrecy. Find a brother in arms, open up, and tell him the exact thing you've been hiding. Evening reflection: Before your head hits the pillow, ask yourself the ultimate defining question of the day: Did I move in truth, or did I move in fear? If you are just landing on Thursday's podcast, don't worry—these are quick, high-impact episodes designed to get you ready to rock and get back to work. Tomorrow, we wrap up the entire week and get ready to kick some ass over the weekend. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we've been facing the single biggest fear we have as men: feeling like we are not enough. We measure ourselves in every room, chase wins that never satisfy, wear masks to hide our struggles, and keep our doors locked so no one can get close. But a man ruled by that fear isn't being humble—he is hiding.Today, we are talking about how to fix it. I'm breaking down The Overcomer's Code: four raw, tactical steps to face this demon, stop running, and take back your power: Trace the root. You can't fight what you won't face, and you can't fix the plumbing if you don't know where the leak is. For so many of us, this goes back to our fathers—never feeling successful enough or living up to a line they drew. But we have to stop blaming them; they were just repeating the cycles they were given. I had to get my own s*** together, stop blaming my dad for my bad decisions, and take responsibility. Preach truth louder than the lie. Your worth was given by God, not granted by the physical world. You have to speak this truth out loud so it's louder than the noise in your own head. Move toward the fear. Do the exact thing the fear tells you to avoid. Real courage isn't the absence of fear—a courageous person is scared as s***, but they take action anyway. Kill the secrecy. Shame dies the moment it is spoken to the world. What you hide is what runs you. Tomorrow, we are diving into daily execution, prayer, and how God fits into this code. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we are stripping off the masks and talking about the silent battle so many of us face: the man who feels like he's not enough. We measure ourselves in every room, chase wins that never satisfy, and keep our doors shut so no one gets too close, all because of one quiet, haunting question: Am I enough? In this episode, I'm giving you a peek into my own personal counseling session. I'm opening up about the root of this fear in my own life—growing up with a father I could never satisfy and receiving love that only arrived with conditions. I used to blame my earthly father, but I had to realize he was just running the exact same survival program his own father gave him. The moment I stopped trying to satisfy my earthly father and started living to satisfy my Father in the sky, everything shifted. But healing isn't a straight line, and I still struggle with putting conditions on my love and getting immature in my relationships. I'll tell you the exact story of when I was deep in the medicine in Peru, and Chase looked me dead in the eye and asked, "What does love represent to you?" When I confidently answered "unconditional," he flat out told me, "You're full of shit. He was right, only God is unconditionally loving, and as humans, we constantly push, pull, and attach rules to our love. We also dive into what it means to stop letting a world that keeps score run your nervous system. Running seven companies with 32 team members is high-stress, but I'm finally learning to relax. When my TikTok account with 2 million followers got completely banned, and when our ad accounts got shut down, my old self would have freaked out thinking the world was keeping score. Now? I surrender it to what God wants.Name the fear, and you take back its power. Let's stop hiding, face our patterns, and fight the good fight together. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Welcome back to The Coach JV Podcast and another week of Refined Integrity, where we've been refining the modern man since 2023. If you are new to the show, here is how we run things Monday through Friday: Mondays we set the stage, Tuesdays we go philosophical and strategic, Wednesdays and Thursdays are highly tactical, and on Fridays, we get our shit together. This week, we are diving straight into a painful, silent epidemic: the man who feels like he is not enough. I'm peeling back the curtain on this episode because I refuse to pretend my life is all sunshine and rainbows. I battle these demons every single day, constantly striving for the next level because of my natural design as a generator and a fire sign who is always competing. But I've had to realize that no matter what level you reach, it's never actually that big of a deal, and I need to do a better job of simply sitting and being present. I'm calling out the fake "tough guys" on social media who post about how they "don't give a fuck what anyone thinks." The truth? If you have to post that, you are the one who cares the most. A man ruled by this fear isn't being humble—he's hiding in a victim state of mind. In this kick-off episode, we break down the four ways this fear secretly runs your life: The rooms you measure yourself in (especially when looking at everyone's social media highlight reels). The wins that still feel like they are not enough. The masks you wear so no one sees what you struggle with in silence. The doors you keep shut so nobody can get too close to you. You are not the fear in your head; you are who God says you are. It's time to name the fear, strip away its power, and lean on something bigger than your own understanding. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Welcome to Friday's episode of my podcast! We are wrapping up our massive, week-long focus on guarding the gate. Today, I am challenging you to stop being a leaf in the wind and become a rock in the mud. I am laying down my ultimate 7-day Gatekeeper Challenge to help you lock in your boundaries, and I'm sharing some personal reflections on how mastering my own "no" completely cured my anxiety. Plus, you'll hear a funny guest appearance from my son, who gets a firsthand lesson in the power of a hard "no" when he tries to hit me up for more Legos! Key Topics Discussed: The Master Recap: I bring together everything we've built this week—from the danger of being an undefended man to the difference between being nice versus discerning. Remember: discernment is your filter, your boundaries are your walls, and your "no" is your ultimate protection. The Lego Interruption: A hilarious, real-time parenting moment where my son cracks up in the studio and tries to negotiate for a new Lego set. I have to practice what I preach right then and there: "No, you don't get a Lego. You bought a Lego last night!". My Journey from "Leaf in the Wind" to "Rock in the Mud": I get deeply personal about how I used to sway back and forth, trying to please everyone, which left me filled with extreme anxiety. Today, I am completely happy, balanced, and hard to move. I share my process of checking my emotions to ensure my boundaries come from uncompromised principles, not my ego, bitterness, jealousy, or anger. My 7-Day Gatekeeper Challenge: I am issuing a direct challenge for the next seven days to build your armor: Final Takeaway:A boundary you won't defend was never a boundary—it was just a wish. Your discernment is your wisdom, and a "no" you stand on is a gift to yourself and your family. Stop letting every open gate invite an invasion into your life.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We are moving directly into daily execution as we continue our week-long theme of guarding the gate. We've already broken down the philosophy of the undefended man, nice versus discerning, and my Gatekeeper's Code but today, I am giving you the exact steps to put this into practice today. I am sharing my personal non-negotiables, challenging you to stop giving weak "yeses" that are actually dishonest, and laying out the daily audit you need to run to protect your ecosystem. Key Topics Discussed: My Personal Non-Negotiables: You must write down the three lines you will absolutely not cross. I lay mine out for you: in business, it is integrity, honesty, uncompromised principles, and belief in God; for my family, it is peace, freedom, and family structure. If anyone crosses these lines, they are immediately out of my ecosystem. The Power of the "Hard No": Stop saying "let me get back to you" when you already know the answer is no. I challenge the fear of saying "no" and explain why constantly saying "yes" to things you don't actually want to do is a form of dishonesty. Pause Before You Commit: If you are unsure, "let me get back to you" is a highly effective tool that beats a weak, forced "yes" every single time. But you must be honest with your intentions. Audit Your Inputs: Your gates are only as strong as what you allow through them. Today, I want you to look at who is speaking into your life and cut out one voice that is actively pulling you off course. My Evening Reflection Practice: How to end your day with absolute accountability by asking yourself one simple question before you close your eyes: "Did I guard the gate today, or did I leave it open?". Final Takeaway: Weak gates make weak men, and what you choose to allow into your life is ultimately what you will become. Protect your kingdom, stand firm on your boundaries, and get ready for tomorrow's episode where we wrap up this entire week and get ready to kick some serious ass. Warriors Rise!

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We are continuing our week-long theme of "guarding the gate," and today I am getting tactical by giving you the exact four steps of "The Gatekeeper's Code". We also have an update on yesterday's hilarious bug invasion, and I have a special guest hanging out in the studio with me today—my son!. I am sharing a raw parenting moment about why I forced him to hit the gym with me before we could go to Home Depot to buy parts for his dirt bike. It is all about doing the work first, holding your boundaries, and realizing that a boundary only truly counts when it costs you something. Key Topics Discussed: The Prehistoric Bug Update: We survived!. It turns out those giant bugs that had my son running for his life yesterday weren't locusts or bees, but massive, prehistoric-looking dragonflies. The Gatekeeper's Code: I break down my four-step framework for protecting your ecosystem: The Katana Blade Decision: I open up about a brutal, "katana blade" decision my CFO and I had to make back in 2022. Setting that boundary felt incredibly ugly and guilt-inducing at the time, but standing our ground was the best business move we ever made. Work Before Play (The Dirt Bike Lesson): My son chimes in while patiently waiting for breakfast and playtime. I share a story from yesterday when he wanted to rush straight to Home Depot for a staple gun to build a custom seat for his dirt bike. I explain why I made him hit the gym for max bench presses, deadlifts, and cardio first. The work and discipline must always come before the reward, otherwise, you end up lazy and completely unguarded. Final Takeaway: To beat the man of tomorrow, you have to be disciplined and consistent today. Stop leaving your gates open, put in the work first, and get ready for tomorrow's episode where we will transition right into daily execution. Listen Now!
