Chuck Liddell is a legendary figure in the world of mixed martial arts, recognized as one of the pioneers who brought MMA into the mainstream. Known as "The Iceman" for his unshakeable presence in the ring, Chuck's journey to greatness began far from the bright lights of professional fighting. He is the face of UFC, and superstar of Mixed Martial Arts–the fastest growing sport in America. In 1998, he won his first Mixed Martial Arts fight, soon after joining the UFC to become the #1 ranked light-heavyweight contender in the world. He is a walking lethal weapon. Today, Chuck Liddell shares how his love for martial arts, the camaraderie of fight camp, and unresolved health issues fueled his return. He candidly discusses the difficulties athletes encounter in retirement, comparing experiences with other sports figures like Jake Herbert. Additionally, Chuck emphasizes the importance of financial stability and alternative opportunities post-retirement, reflecting on his own journey aided by a continued role with the UFC until its sale. Throughout the episode, Chuck Liddell opens up about his familial influences, notably his grandfather's pivotal role and his single mother's resilience in the face of medical adversity. He dives deep into parenting, revealing the significance of building confidence and instilling essential values in his children while navigating personal mistakes and growth. The conversation also touches on societal changes, the shift in family dynamics, and Chuck's strategies for managing conflicts peacefully from his time working in bars. www.linktr.ee/ChuckLiddell Instagram | Facebook | X | TikTok | YouTube Iceman: My Fighting Life Book | www.kingofviolence.com www.thedadedge.com/501 www.thedadedge.com/alliance

Is sparring in fight camp a smart move or a dangerous gamble? As fight night gets closer, every decision you make in training counts, and few choices are as critical—or risky—as sparring in fight camp. On one hand, it's an opportunity to refine your timing, reactions, and technique under pressure. But on the other, there's always the looming risk of an injury that could throw off months of hard work. In this episode, we'll explore whether sparring in the final stretch of your fight camp is worth it, or if it's time to shift gears to safer, more controlled forms of training. You don't want to enter the ring compromised. Let's look at the best way to prepare without taking unnecessary risks. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Sparring in Fight Camp: Should You Risk It? 00:30 Two Weeks Out: Time to Shift Gears 00:44 Simulated Sparring: Getting the Fight Feel Without the Fight Risk 01:39 Sparring in Fight Camp: The Importance of Emotional Intelligence Further notes and resources at https://heatrick.com/2024/10/25/sparring-in-fight-camp-yes-or-no/

In this special episode, I had the incredible opportunity to spend three action-packed days with the pound-for-pound champion of the world, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, at his fight camp in Truckee, California. Thanks to a personal invite from Jaime Camil, we got to experience Canelo's intense training firsthand—running, hitting the gym, sparring, and watching him meticulously prepare for his next fight. I even tried to keep up during the long runs (spoiler: it wasn't easy!). On the final day, I sat down with Canelo for an exclusive interview where we talked about his training camp, the people who motivate him, his love for family and food, and how he stays laser-focused on every detail. Despite being a legend, Canelo opened up about why he still feels he doesn't always get the respect he deserves compared to other fighters. Don't miss this casual, cool interview as we recap the incredible time spent with the old-school, badass champion of our era.

Fight training without a fight? It may seem counterintuitive, but you CAN capture the performance benefits of a fight camp without ever stepping foot in the ring. The secret lies in periodisation - strategically planning your training into blocks that progressively build strength, power, speed, and Muay Thai specific skills. This optimised structure allows you to simulate a fight camp and its gains without the fight itself. In this video, 51-year-old ex-pro fighter and Muay Thai performance specialist Don Heatrick breaks down the major benefits of using a periodised approach in your training whether you compete or not. Avoid plateaus, prevent injuries, ensure sustainable progress, and align training to your unique goals - periodisation helps any Muay Thai athlete make consistent gains for health, fitness and self-defence. Don draws from decades of experience showing how planned, progressive training variations beat out stale, repetitive routines. Break out of your rut and design a periodised plan tailored to your needs. You'll unlock better performance, faster recovery, and increased motivation. Think periodisation is just for competitors? Think again. Use these proven techniques to transform your own training. It's time to start stealing those coveted fight camp results - no actual fights required.

Follow Guest: John Patrick MorganLinkedIn - Twitter - Facebook - InstagramPersonal Website - Business Website Follow Host: Craig CapursoLinkedIn - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram Show transcript:All right, guys, so welcome to my battle plan. John. It's one of these things where I kind of look on the Internet a little bit and I dabble and see different people that kind of have a message that I like to share or at least just kind of bring people on and have good conversations. And you seem like one of those people that could do that. And so I'm not really exactly sure what it was that prompted me to follow you, but you gave me a very good return message and I thought it was phenomenal. I dug a little deeper and saw this is kind of like your thing. So John, tell people kind of a little bit about who you are. I know that you're in the coaching business.   Speaker 1·00:43And I have some quotes from you that I took off that I'm going to read. And I'm going to say the essence of my life's work, my purpose is to serve the one person in front of me right here in the right now to see them fully, love them deeply and create what they are making and having a meaningful difference in them. So tell me a little bit in our audience who's listening today, who is John? Who is John Patrick Morgan?   Speaker 2·01:08Yeah, thanks for reading that. Yeah, that was one of those things that like just like in a moment of kind of meditative journaling and presence with like, the question is, like, what are the purpose of my life? It just was like crystal clear that's it. When you boil everything down and always has been, it goes back to being my memory. When you read that, where it starts is like being a little kid, taking apart my mom and dad's vcr with a screwdriver and then putting it back together. I've always been interested in just like, how things work. And then that turned inward as I got older and started to be aware that my brain is a vcr, like my mind and my behavior. And I love people, I just love relationships, I love human beings.   Speaker 2·01:53And so everybody's a vcr in that kind of way. And if I can take them apart and put them back together in a way that has the tracking work, remember that the tracking and vidi vhs, so the screen is clear, then I just love that. And so whether it's creating myself with clear tracking or creating another person to have clear tracking, that's my joy. There's other aspects of me too. I call it being a champion. I just love being the absolute best that I can be. I love competition, I love winning, but not to have power over others because I'm afraid I'm not enough, but because I love pushing everybody forward. Let's get that tracking even clearer. If I beat you, then we're both going to grow. If I can inspire you to stay engaged in that competition.   Speaker 2·02:46And so for me, being a champion means being the best, but it also means being in the sense of a king or queen's champion, like really being a champion for another person, really going to battle to use the name of your podcast, for them against whatever it is in them that's getting in the way of them being their best. And so that combined with that kind of like, how does this work? How can I take it apart and put it back together has just driven me and everything that I've done. I had a number of different businesses prior to this, personal development industry business now that I've had for 15 years. But at the core of all of it is conversation as the medium like dialogue between me and another person to create something in the world, in them and in the world.   Speaker 1·03:27So yeah, that's great. And as you're listening, John and I are in similar spaces where we're in the fulfillment business of taking somebody who's struggling with something in the world. The line that I read earlier was actually in response to receiving spam messages on LinkedIn, which I thought was and he said, maybe we're just all looking at this a different way. And you actually called that out. It's like, we're just not looking at this way. But if you take the opportunity that someone had contacted you, a marketing message that you receive is negative in spam as somebody trying to do something. And if you have a way to possibly help them in something you're doing, maybe you don't have to buy with the product, but maybe you can offer a speaking gig.   Speaker 1·04:07Example that was talked about, you mentioned, and this person was trying to sell me tickets to some event, and you're like, Well, I should be who went speaking at that event? And I thought that was such a unique way to think about it. Where does that come from?   Speaker 2·04:18Well, there's two layers to it, actually. Man, thanks for calling that out. That was from ways back. But the first layer of receiving spam is the idea that somebody out there is doing something to me. And so anybody that's getting spam in a way that it's bothering them at all is in a place of victimhood the circumstance and they're creating that. It's like this person is doing something to me by sending this unsolicited thing. It's a whole bunch of meaning and language. And so first and foremost, I always want to be free from any of that s***. And so you could be free from it by not accommodating it by getting a really good spam filter, or you could be free from it from not having this story that's a problem for you. And that's where I began.   Speaker 2·05:02So once I'm free from that mattering and what happens is then love happens, because then you suddenly look out at the world and you can see everybody's innocence. And I just saw that everybody is sending me these messages, unsolicited, quote unquote messages, which is still a victimhood frame, but it's like they're sending me a message, right. And I wasn't judging it, and I wasn't p***** off about it. I wasn't annoyed by it. I saw with their innocence, I was like, oh. Then I could see that they're another human being trying to do something, trying to get somewhere in the world. Funny that's what I help people do. And so the second order insight when you're free, when you're coming from a place of love, is always one of service, and it's always generative, and it's always creative.   Speaker 2·05:45So that came from that space, and it was the idea. So anytime I get an email from somebody now, it's not like, oh, what the h***? It's like, oh, what are they trying to do? How can I help them?   Speaker 1·05:54That's right.   Speaker 2·05:55It might not be to give them my money, but sometimes it is. Believe it or not, I've hired more people that have cold outreach to me than I think most people probably do, because I'm just open and I listen, and I'm like, this dude, this woman can actually help. And I've had some great business relationships with people that literally, you might say, spammed me.   Speaker 1·06:16That's funny. I like that. And it's all perception. I say that we always have a story, and I'm not sure how you go about your coaching and your clients, but I really like to dig into a past. Right. And so I want to do that with you a little bit today. You're living in maui. You got ohana on your hat right now for the listeners that can't see us.   Speaker 2·06:37Do you know what that means? Oh, you do? Awesome, man.   Speaker 1·06:40My daughter says that to me all the time. She watches I forget what show it was. There's like, an alien that is in hawaii. She remembers it all the time, and she says it all the time, so I still picked up. Right. She can love this episode. But where does that come from for you? Where do you derive your roots? You said rhode island really quickly, before we jumped on air is where home was. Talk to me a little bit about.   Speaker 2·07:03How I grew up. Yeah, I grew up in rhode island, in the suburb like place called warwick, which is 20 minutes from providence, the capital. We had a forest in our backyard, and I would go out in the morning and play outside all day and come in when it got dark, and I would be gone out exploring in the forest. And it was a beautiful childhood. We had a boat. I mean, I don't know if most people don't know this, but rhode island has more coastline than california because of all the islands. And so the boating culture there is a phenomenal. People come from around the world to sail in newport, rhode island. So that was a big part of my life growing up on the water. Yeah.   Speaker 2·07:43And then I went to university in my home state and then I studied abroad and then it's like, wow, then the world was my oyster and so I left in my twenty s and I've went back to visit a few times but the rest of my life has been spread around the world, so but family. But you mentioned the word. Ohana, and family. I guess I'll speak to that too. I just have always been and am still really close with both of my parents. I know how blessed I am having worked with a lot of men and women who didn't have the upbringing that I had to be able to have a mother that loves you unconditionally and a father that is there to be a role model and to teach you.   Speaker 2·08:24I was blessed and I had that and I know that those experiences are a big part of what I source from in my coaching. I've got my mother and father photos on my wall. I have a row of some mentors on my wall in my studio here. My mom and dad are at the top, not without challenges, heartbreaking when they divorced when I was 15. So there's certainly some stuff but for the most part I had a loving upbringing with mentorship and so I'm just living that out now as a father myself. And so family was a big thing for me and is central in my life. And when I was walking down the street here in maui and I saw the hat with Ohana on it, I was like, I want to keep that as close to me as I can.   Speaker 2·09:05I've got a bracelet with my son's roomy and asher's names on them to keep them close. The hat's about keeping host belts, all about advertising it a little bit. It's like, hey guys, I love my family so much that I want you to know that family is a real orientation for me.   Speaker 1·09:20I like that. That's great man. And what brought you to Hawaii? How did that trip take place? What in your life? Yeah, this whole podcast essentially we could talk about how cool we are all we want when we're successful in life, but I don't think that helps the general person who is likely the person that we can help. Obviously I don't know what specific avatar you're after, but generally speaking people have some money in a business and they're doing something and they're usually generally preoccupied with life as it's happening and not focusing on some of the things that they can. So what I would say to you is give us a little history of the up and coming you, John and John Morgan and what were things that you faced that you might have overcome?   Speaker 1·10:02I like to see the come up stories because that's the most important part of the people that can relate to a podcast and listening as they're listening to our words and growing. How do you come through the tough times? And did you have any it sounds like you had a great familyhood, if you will, if that's a word. But what were your struggles?   Speaker 2·10:24Yeah, man. I mean, I've had just, like any entrepreneur, I've had, like, massive financial challenges, of course, like, going completely broken into debt and upside down and not being able to afford rent and having a house sit and live with my girlfriend's parents in my late 20s, early 30s, which was really identity destroying for a time. And challenging all the freaking heated arguments about money and screaming at your wife and then realizing it has nothing to do with that. That's just painful. And also like, I had a health thing when I was younger. I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in my 20s, which was really f****** scary, but it set me on a path and my mom but she got later diagnosed as well of just like it expanded my mind.   Speaker 2·11:12I just started thinking looking, because up to that point it was like taco Bell, coca cola, just like I did martial arts but didn't matter what I ate because I was young and so I thought, you know, I was in shape but my body was dying in a way. My autoimmune system, my immune system was being attacked by the garbage that I was eating and so as I woke up to that and started eating healthy, I mean, it expanded my whole world. So it's not just about fitness to me, but it's about vitality and longevity. And I haven't had symptoms in years and one of my doctors said that you might have just cured yourself from this disease. And so that's part of my journey as well.   Speaker 2·11:50As I mentioned, the pain of my parents'separation was and continues to be when you've got a really strong family and then they separate, it's always challenging. It's still challenging at Christmas time, still close with both my parents and it's like there's the awkwardness and stuff.   Speaker 1·12:11I have a similar my parents divorced when I was in my twenty s I was in college, I believe is actually where I heard it first and I actually painted that as part of an identity and we could talk a little bit about identity, too, is that I did have parents that were together. And it was crushing to me, actually, when that happened. My mom actually lives with me here in Tennessee after a divorce that she had a second divorce kind of is what it is. But yeah, that was something that I had some personal struggles with and I'm sure a lot of people as the trend right now. There's a lot of broken homes out there but it's how you deal with it and what you can do with the lessons learned from it. How do you feel? Are you married?   Speaker 2·12:52I am married. Yeah.   Speaker 1·12:53Okay.   Speaker 2·12:54This will be my ten year anniversary this October, right on my sons, two and six. I have two sons, and I'm happy that I mean, I lived with the idea that I will never get married because of what that what's the point? I also loved meeting lots of women and loved my freedom and experience. But it just came a point in my life where I loved my wife. And no, what it was I wanted to have kids with my then girlfriend. And for her, it was like, well, then we got to get married. And I was like, Are you sure? And at the same time, I was reading Joseph campbell's work The mythologist, and he was the one that really showed me that marriage is an enactment of a mythology and that there's a function to that and it's generative and it creates something.   Speaker 2·13:43And I started to appreciate and understand that the living of a story for oneself and between two people is generative of something. It creates a possibility. And so I kind of fell in love with the idea of marriage. Now I f****** love it. Because the ultimate freedom is the discovery that the highest form of freedom is through commitment, not by avoiding it. And so it's kind of a second order experience of freedom in my life now that I find it in commitment as opposed to being not committed, which was when I was younger. It's a different kind of quality of freedom I love. Again, back to the ohana hat. My marriage to my wife and my kids is central.   Speaker 1·14:25That's a great way to put it. You definitely have a way of kind of like explaining and you could tell that you have a deep sense of heart in what you do. I think it's apparent when people watch what you do, there seems like there's a deep purpose of actually fulfilling somebody's in or something. And I've been known as a little bit more cold, although that I have my ways of getting people to move and see themselves in different ways that they've never seen them. I'm definitely a competitor in this to get people to an edge, and it burns me when they don't do what I'm looking for. I think you sound like you have a little bit more compassion. Where does that come from? Is that your upbringing? Is that I think so, yeah.   Speaker 2·15:06I don't know. Who knows, right? I can make up a story, but as I said earlier, my mom's just unconditionally loving, and she was concerned in talking to me, as I learned now, as a parent, it's good to talk to your kids about their emotions so that they find language and meaning and can connect with that inside them. But my mom did that, I guess, intuitively or something. I remember being in the rocking chair and with her saying, how do you feel? What are you feeling? So just having that attention inwardly focused and having it be okay to speak about that and having words and language for that is something.   Speaker 2·15:40And Then I've Continued to take apart that vcr through my Life, like leading Into An embodiment Work in The Personal Development World and Going Deeper and Creating Even More Language and More Internal kinesthetic Awareness to Be Able To speak to that and Having The Courage To Bring It Up In Conversation With Other People and Help Them To Discover that. Right. Like, get the tracking clear, extend that metaphor again.   Speaker 1·16:01Do you feel the people that you work with, it sounds like they're entrepreneurs. And I kind of took your bio from LinkedIn, and I want to ask you about the we us. You have that as your bio is my pronoun. Yeah, talk to me about that. But I want to get on because you also said you talk about love, power, freedom, creating and entrepreneurship. And so you definitely seem like you go in from angle where it's like you're really trying to get deep into this people's soul a little bit, have them feel something because everyone's trying to do something. Not a lot of people feel something. So a little bit more about that whole construct.   Speaker 2·16:35Yeah. The wes. My website for my company is we arecreating.com. Right. And so this idea that what we are is I see the big banging on like, we are the universe expanding. It's not like, oh, the universe is like planets and we're people. Literally. It bangs and here we are, and it's still expanding in the form of memetic expression, in the form of human procreation. It is the expansion of the universe. So we are that universe creating itself. And it's also a declaration. This is what we're up to. We are up to creating the we kind of is a way of relating to all of us. Not as me versus you or me and you. It's just a frame. I remember hearing this once.   Speaker 2·17:29I don't know if that it's true, but I read it somewhere, so maybe it is that the Kiwis, the natives in New Zealand don't even have a pronoun for I. They only have we because they were as invoking their ancestors when they speak. And I just thought that was a beautiful idea. So the west is really a way of just speaking to that in the LinkedIn thing, but it's also a little bit of a jab at the whole pronoun bullshit. You got to tell me how I got to call you in order for you to be safe and okay. I see that as a form of extreme victimhood.   Speaker 1·17:57Sure. Hoping you were going to go that way because it sounded like you came from just such a place of love. I was like, man, is this guy this way or is he this way?   Speaker 2·18:06No, but my love has look. Where is it? I'll show you what my love looks like. I had to move it because my kids I don't know if you guys have a video, but my love is a razor sharp samurai sword, man. Like, my love will cut like a knife or smash like a hammer. So I have no problem with violence and no problem with well, I shouldn't say I have no problem with violence. I have no problem with violence where it's in service of something beautiful. I'm poking fun in that direction as well.   Speaker 1·18:38Good. Now this conversation got good. I'm just making sure you always never know who someone is when they're on the other line.   Speaker 2·18:44Not sway to dance into it, but I appreciate it, but yeah, well, I.   Speaker 1·18:48Want to see what was going on there. And there's a couple of things that I'll talk about and look, I'm the guy that I'll bring up everything anywhere, and look, if someone doesn't want to have it, then we just won't air it. I probably just don't cut things out. But anyway, love, power, freedom, creating, entrepreneurship. Do you feel like when you're talking to somebody and you're in the professional development space, are you feeling like they're just not getting it? And are you more user men, women, both? What would be your tribe?   Speaker 2·19:12Well, most of the time when I'm speaking, I'm feeling like people aren't getting it. But that's because that's where I like to hang out. I pretty much only hang out with mentors and all hire a coach myself if when they talk, I don't get it. Because something that's beyond the precipice of my understanding of my capacity to conceptualize. That's what I'm interested in. That's why I'm taking apart the f****** vcr, because I get that I put this thing in, but how does it turn into that? How is it doing that? Sometimes it can be frustrating for people that are in my world, but that's why we take the money up front. Because it's like, now you got to stick with it and you're in and you'll get there if you stay with it. That's what I believe.   Speaker 2·19:55If you stay in a conversation where you're f****** confused and you're not getting it, then you're going to grow. I can viscerally remember what it was like when I discovered the taoist path. My good friend James tripp, who has been a taoist in tai chi's whole life, could see in a way where paradox was obvious to him, but I was experiencing it as a dichotomy. It's either this or that. And he's like, no, dude, it's both. And I'm like, f***. Whereas now I live paradox. People say to me, sometimes being coached by you is like reading the Dow dei jing. It's like that's because I've read it a hundred times and I live it. And so that's an evolution of mind that comes through hanging with that tension.   Speaker 2·20:36And sometimes to my detriment because sometimes I'm speaking so far out beyond what a person is able to understand that I miss the ability to connect with them. So I am constantly working on how can I build that bridge? I don't know if I answered your question, but.   Speaker 1·20:56We'Ll just have more. We'll just keep asking.   Speaker 2·20:57Okay, cool.   Speaker 1·20:59But I resonate with what you kind of just said as far as, like, look, it's sometimes not here nor there, right? There was a big event that I was at in Miami this weekend where were actually going to be doing a pitch from the stage or an opportunity to offer someone to go deeper with. It's not me. It was the coach that I was working with, coach Michael Burke. And it's going to be like a 997 offer. We thought it, you know, might have like a million dollar take from the event, get 1000 people in. The offer because of what were offering was just so extreme. Didn't get a chance to put it down. There was about eight to 12,000, I don't know, probably 8000 people at the venue at the Loan depot Center.   Speaker 1·21:31And, you know, a minute and 30 seconds before the stage, the organizers like, we can't do it. Something happened. We can't pitch. And he was really the person who didn't want anyone to offer any services from stage. It was just kind of an event for all the agents that were there. It was an insurance and it was a big blow because Coach burt, myself, the team that were working with, kind of put a lot of energy and time into this. And so he was kind of devastated a little bit after the event and kind of just thinking about it and I go, well, it's like that Chinese proverb, maybe it's not Chinese proverb, I don't know what it is. But the proverb where it says, the farmer's son went out into the field, fell off the horse, broke his leg.   Speaker 1·22:11And then he basically came back. All the townspeople were like, hey, that's so unfortunate. And the father was like, maybe it isn't. And then the army comes through the next week and trust the sons and then, oh, that's so fortunate that your son broke his leg. He can't go. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, right? So there's a lot of ways to see it. And I actually brought that up to those guys. I was like, well, maybe there's a better mangle here that something didn't happen for a reason. And trying to look deeper into the wise of many things and trying not to overreact. I think I was definitely in my younger years and overreacted and certainly the more I get into self development, reading much of the books, I think it gives you a whole different look on perception.   Speaker 1·22:47So that's great. Well, let's talk about looking at a couple of things. I pulled some lines and I just want to see how you're going to respond to some of these. So if you're cool with pitch and catch?   Speaker 2·22:58Yeah, man. I don't know what that means, but throw something.   Speaker 1·23:02You will never earn more than your own self worth. What does that mean to you?   Speaker 2·23:05Yeah, well, I don't remember saying that, but I think it's true. Okay, cool. I think that it's true in the sense of like, if you don't believe you're worth something, then you're going to find a way to not be able to receive it. You're going to either not take action on the opportunity that would produce that income, you're going to have some kind of awkward state of being that's going to blow the deal, whatever it is. It's not even just down to a service business. Like, you pay me for this per hour. If I believe that I'm not worth the amazing outcome that this real estate deal looks like it's going to be for me, then you show up in a way that drops the ball. I think that's a pretty awesome statement.   Speaker 1·23:48Yeah. As I'm podcasting, I have these Notes folder, right? I think I'm sure you probably have these different I have so many. And I was like, you know what? Let me kind of get into John because he's definitely a thinker. He thinks of things intellectually. And I was like, let me see where he is on some of these. Here's something. And this will relate to you as a father as well as a business owner. And I'm curious just to see how you take this one. So I have the battle plan. We're like a self development. A lot of people come to me for the fitness and health side things first, just because that's what I was known for in my past. I'm obviously doing a lot more with the business development side mental. I'm even calling myself like the mental mechanic right now.   Speaker 1·24:25I don't even know. I'm just trying to figure out angle that puts me in someone's mind and makes them think to go deeper and we have a conversation. But one thing I brought up to my group was like, the concept is, what if my time with my kids is not what it's supposed to be? For example, the person who works so much and strive so hard to make money for their family. So the generation that will have money is growing and aging will be taken care of versus the father or mother that spends so much time with their kids is more of that average job but is present in their kids life. How do you see the two splits? And I know it's not an easy answer, but is there a better way?   Speaker 2·25:06Yeah, there's a f****** better way, dude. There's always a better way than having to choose between a rock and a hard place. That's my whole commitment in life. That's literally what we stand for. If you read our website that we are creating, we transcend the paradigm of having to choose. Between financial success and spiritual deep personal fulfillment. You could say that being with your family is that. And the better way is saying, f*** that. Between choosing, I'm going to have a business that produces all the financial wealth and abundance that I want, and I'm going to stop working at noon. I'm going to pick my kids up from school. You can hear my passion for this, right? This is my life. This is my commitment.   Speaker 2·25:44When I was just a coach, before I had my company, I was bringing in half a million dollars a year. Like, paying the taxes on that much money, net income, working two days a week, coaching, picking my kids up from school. Like, I start my calls at 07:00 A.m. In Hawaii. I'm done at noon. I work out till two. And then I pick my kids up, we go to the beach. Like, that's my life. And you don't get a life like that unless you are f****** a stand. That is possible that you can have both because there aren't a lot of paths, tasks for how to have both. You have to forge one.   Speaker 2·26:17And the way you forge it is to start with a commitment that I will be with my kids, a substantial amount of time, and I will make all the money I want to make. You don't get that unless you stand for it. And if you buy the story that question comes from, you're f*****. You're never going to get there.   Speaker 1·26:31I love that answer, but let me play devil's advocate, please. Do a job. And he's working and he's doing something. He's maybe not as passionate as you, or a female for that matter. My audience is generally male, so we're going to just speak to the males right now. Female, thank you. But you're the very few people that listen to me, and I'm cool with that. But let's just say the income earner in the household is working. They're putting their time in, and they don't even have that better path. How do you get them there? What's the means? Obviously the pain is there. They want something deeper. They want something more for their life. They want more money. They want more time. How do you even get them to that step? What's that process?   Speaker 2·27:06Well, there's two things, right? Is it that you want to make more money and do you want to make more time? And you can have both, but let's take them one at a time. You want to make more money. The real simple is you got to have more power. And when I say more power, you make more of a difference in less time. That's literally what people are paid for. Sounds like you were worked on Wall Street. I have family who are fund managers. And why are they paid so much? Because of the leverage. The impact that your decision and your research has is highly leveraged. And whether it's in a sole proprietor that's a service provider or a fund manager. It's the same thing.   Speaker 2·27:41How can I make the biggest difference in a conversation in the shortest amount of time has been my fascination for 15 years. And that's why I get $3,000 an hour to be in conversation with the person because of what I can do in conversation with them. So it's like make more of a difference in less time. And how are you going to do that? Well, then we go to the other side because the how is where the fulfillment is going to be in. So how would you love to do that? Well, I'd love to play guitar. Okay, well, cool. So what's the chances that you playing guitar is going to make the biggest difference the smallest amount of time? Okay, maybe for you it's pretty low. It's like, well, then what else do you love to do?   Speaker 2·28:13So let's come up with all the things that you love doing and enjoying and let's isolate down to where you can make the biggest difference, the smallest amount of time, and let's focus in on that. And so then the next obstacle you run into with somebody who's not done what they would love for years or decades because they believe the lie in society that you can't have your cake and eat it, which is a f****** weird statement anyway. But if you live for so long not giving yourself the freedom to do what you love, you not only don't have that in your life, but you lose the contact within to even know what it is that you do love. If you don't give yourself permission to know your inner compass and then to act on it, you lose touch with it.   Speaker 2·28:55And then people will say, well, I don't even know what I love. Well, no s*** you don't. So we got to really slow down with people and start to break them out of their ideas and start to get them in touch with at least their curiosity. And then you have to take action on that to feed your body with the knowing that it's safe and okay. And then that little voice starts to get louder and you can get more in touch that you can start to feel joy in what you love again, and you can start to use it to guide you and your life and your work. So that's a kind of summary, but yeah.   Speaker 1·29:23Now we just woke in. John he's here. Welcome.   Speaker 2·29:28Thanks. Fired up.   Speaker 1·29:30I love it, man. And that's a great response and a great answer because everyone wants to basically have their cake and eat it too. As he mentioned, the weird line and part of my framework is design a life worth living. Right? What's that legacy that you're trying to leave to the generation or the following generation? That's what I want to do is leave a legacy and a generational wealth to my family and to the people that come up but also not allow them just to have it. You know what I mean? Like they got to work for it. There are too many people that have the money and just give their kids blindly. And that's what makes weak society. I think we're seeing that all over the place right now. Yeah, but right on. Let me talk about our senses.   Speaker 1·30:08Let's switch a gear here. Are you a man of faith and spirituality?   Speaker 2·30:13Yeah, I am. Not a particular religion or anything like that. It was raised Catholic, and then I went like full blown atheist for like a few years as I got into science. And then I started traveling and kind of found my spiritual path. And I think at this time of my life finding even more and more faith in something greater than me being at cause in my life in the sense of both inwardly like a small voice that maybe in the past I might have said is my own personal intuition that's guided by my subconscious patterning and is still kind of separate. Whereas now it feels like and I believe that this voice is coming from something beyond just this singular body.   Speaker 2·31:00And the messages that I get to images, through dreams, through meditative inquiry, through asking and listening, which you could call prayer, and also through the circumstances, like for me, surrendering to the circumstances which have a certain resonance to them which have a certain auspicious nature to them, which have a recurring nature to them is following, you could say, the voice of God, in the same way as it would be when I follow it within. So there's all that like being guided in the sense of creation, but then there's also this overarching sense of care that I'm really in touch with, that we are all cared for in a beautiful ways and sometimes we just can't understand what that care why that care looks the way that it does. But that's an all pervading experience for me lately.   Speaker 1·31:52Okay, well, I always bring up the fact that our senses are limiting. Hearing, taste, touch, smell those are only so many things that we can essentially have a relationship with or we could have basically an outcome after we experience one of those things. But when I look at faith and I look at blind faith right? Faith by itself is to believe in something that doesn't currently exist, that you can see, smell, taste, touch. Here you have to believe in something to be true, almost like vision half to something that you want. Is certain ways that I kind of look at that. If you look at these senses, wouldn't it make sense that there are things that we can't see, can't touch, can't smell like germs? We don't know that they're there, but they're there. The ultraviolet rays in the air.   Speaker 1·32:37We can't see those things, but they're there. There's smells that we don't have hearing sounds, pictures that we don't have. So where are you in your spiritual life as far as knowing that there's angels, demons, things of that nature? Do you believe these things exist around us? Do you believe that is more just for the Bible people? What's your thought process there?   Speaker 2·32:56Yeah, I have to start at the beginning, which is, I mean I love that you said doesn't it make sense that there are things that are there that we can't sense? And it's like the idea of making sense is so deep because even when we're trying to connect with something that's beyond our senses we use the phrase make sense to access that right. And so there's a certain way of being in our physical body that is a limitation to our orientation, which is what you're kind of speaking to. And I am so open to there being something other than this idea of just me in both the physical world but also in the non physical. But what I don't have is the idea that I know what those things specifically are and these are their actual names.   Speaker 2·33:42Because I don't believe that the names that we give anything is what anything is. It's just a label, it's just a story. Like the word truth itself. Actually etymologically evolved from the word tree as in an oak tree. Tree became truth. And what is that? It's just something that's there and dependable and solid, but trees can also be cut down. And so I have a knowing that all of it is story. All of it. I'm doing a talk tomorrow for my community called at the Left Hand of God which is about my exploration, what you call it the left hand path in magic or creation, which is the path of descent into the sensory experience.   Speaker 2·34:21It's transcendent, like basically the right handed path seated at the right hand of the father right is the idea that if you do what is morally and ethically good, you'll be pure and you'll be welcomed into the embrace of the all of God, of union. The left handed path is like okay, you're going to go your way and you're going to find God that way, you're going to go into pleasure, into pain, into the things that are socially unacceptable and you're going to find something transcendent of all of these stories and meaning and you're going to meet the divine that way. And so I've been in the last year or two exploring that path involving also the use of psychedelics.   Speaker 2·34:56And so for me when I have an experience that is not the normal experience, whether it's through meditative practice or induced through psychedelics and all of this sensory experience melts away. Only thing you're left with is the possibility that something beyond because there's still something here and this idea of vision or touch is no longer as relevant because I'm touching something that isn't actually there, or is it.   Speaker 1·35:25I was in a Bible study, so I'm a Catholic. I grew up Catholic, but I'm a Christian. I was reborn. But there was a period in my life also that I went to college and we had to take a religion course in college. I went to Sick Heart University up in Connecticut. And they make you take Religion 101. And after doing so, I really kind of just been exposed to the other religions. And I was like, man, why is mine better than anyone else's? And I hated the fact that Catholic priests can't have relations with women and stuff. So I was really having a hard time understanding that.   Speaker 1·35:55And I kind of walked away from the church for a while and went into more like craig ism due to others what you want done to yourself, which is the basic principles of religion anyway, when it's all broken. Down to kind of some constructs and kind of really got into it later in life after having my daughter, there was a client that had exposed me to a message, and I'll do an episode on this for whoever's listening at some point of my walk into religion once again. But about a month ago, were sitting in a Bible study with a bunch of guys, and we talked about, like, what is your being, what is your thoughts? Those things that are inside of you, do they go you can't touch, taste, smell, see them? So that thing, where does it even live?   Speaker 1·36:37What part of your body is it in? Everyone thinks it's here, but is it not? They say the stomach is your second brain. So that's an interesting concept when you're looking at your thoughts, your anxieties, the stresses, your visions, the thing you think about, those don't have any clues to what? Where our senses are. Because those are things that we're internalizing ourselves and we're having a demonstrated capacity to feel a certain way around those where you could feel one way and I could feel another way. And so it's very interesting to see how we are affected psychologically by those things, et cetera. But it's just a concept I kind of want to just run by you as far as, like, your being.   Speaker 1·37:12What is that to you when you hear the word your being, that thing, and that could possibly pass when you leave, what does that mean to you?   Speaker 2·37:20Yeah, well, I have two definitions of the word being because I think there's two that are used out there, and I kind of distinguish them. I say, like, uppercase being is like the presence that is transcendent of story and meaning and even humanness. It's like that oneness experience that you have when you're in a deep meditation. That oneness experience that you have when everybody in the Catholic Church is singing and there's a real presence of Holy Spirit. Right? Like, that's something beyond the stories about me. My memories meaning that's like all uppercase being. And then there's being in what I would call the heideggerian sense to reference the philosopher Martin heidegger, which is to say, being is the house of language. I would say that's an uppercase being, just being.   Speaker 2·38:09And so is this thing being a coffee mug that I'm holding in my hand or is it being a thrown object when I smash it against the wall? Well, it depends on what story that I'm telling and what's happening. Heidegger says a hammer isn't being a hammer that's hanging on the wall in the tool shed unless there's a human out there focused on it or using it. Otherwise it's just unnamed. There's just something there. And so for me, I'm distinguishing the way that you were talking about being. I think you were invoking both in the same definition. And for me that distinction is really important. To go beyond the labels is the being that for me is holy and spiritual and then the other aspect of being. So to bring it back to myself, what is my being?   Speaker 2·39:00Well, my being is our being that goes back to the wii Us pronoun, right? Like in the all uppercase being. And it just is. And it becomes hard to even use language to talk about it. We can signpost towards it, but then language gives up or has to give up. But then there's the other side of it. Like who am I being today? Am I being a kind and loving man? Am I being free? Am I being powerful? Or am I being kind of a passive aggressive d*** with my wife? Like which? Who am I being? And everything in between and all other sorts of things. And being is actually very central to our work as well. And so both the all uppercase being and helping a person be free and connected to a source of love, you could call it God.   Speaker 2·39:42We have a lot of clients that call it God and relate to it that way. And I'm not so hung up on which language a person uses and then like cool, now bring it back down to earth as that love, as God. What and who are you being in the world of form? Are you being? I am a valuable person. Cool. Are you being that I have specific monetary valuable value in the way that I do this service? Even better. That's going to be more likely to produce a material outcome. So we help people to really cultivate a conscious way of being in the world that produces what they want. So for us, being is the bridge between the spiritual and the material.   Speaker 1·40:20Like that. That's good, man. Let me ask you something, a question that as I kind of go a little bit deeper here. What's the number one question that you wish you were asked on these podcasts? What is this thing that you want people in our audience to know about you.   Speaker 2·40:38It's funny when people podcasters often will ask that in advance of a podcast and I always throw it back to them. And I hope that when you think about the mission statement that you read earlier, it will make sense as to why. But the thing that I want most for people in this podcast that are listening to this podcast to know is the thing that's most going to serve them in getting what they want. And so I always throw it back to the podcaster and I say for your audience, why are they here? Why are they listening? And when you can tell me that, then I can tell you exactly what I want them to know or to know about me. Because who gives a s*** otherwise about me?   Speaker 2·41:15I am only relevant in this podcast to the extent at which I serve and make a difference for the people listening. Otherwise, my answer is about me. And that doesn't it doesn't fulfill me. It doesn't really work. That doesn't create many results anyway. So can you answer that? Why are they here? What is your sense?   Speaker 1·41:32100%. Yeah, man. This audience is to be served through what I call the four senses or the four pillars. Faith, fitness, fellowship and finances and the constructs that we live through our life. We discussed up and down and the reason this is kind of a different, maybe off topic episode. Just basically you and I kind of had a small relationship on social media where I was just attracted to some of the things you said. You sent me back a great message and I just said, you know what, this guy just looks like he's going to go in here and he's going to have a deep conversation. We're going to ask some odd questions and kind of just see where this conversation goes.   Speaker 1·42:08Because at the end of the day, too many people come in with an agenda, kind of like me asking you that question. You would see what your agenda is. And I think you're holding true to who you are. The agenda is to serve and to make sure that the conversations I'm having today are present. And something that I don't do well is actually live in the present. I live into the vision of my future, of what I'm trying to accomplish. But I think the people that are listening and being served by this episode are going to understand that there's a lot more to them outside of their own personal agendas. And so when we're developing our faith, our fitness, a lot of people will listen to this for some version of what they think they're going to get out of my fitness.   Speaker 1·42:49I don't really do fitness on this podcast, unfortunately. We talk a little bit about that. I just think it's quite boring and easy and I know it's not for everybody, but it's just do the work and usually the results come and there's a lot of different small things in between that. I think people over complicate as I'm thinking of people who do ice baths because probably they're about £150 overweight and they shouldn't do that first, but that's another story for something else. It's more or less just basically opening up someone's mind to think another way and to know that maybe the way they perceive themselves see themselves or actually interact in the world may not be the way someone else perceives.   Speaker 1·43:22Them, sees them and interacts as you are mentioning your being or how your being is only perceived by the person telling the story about what you're going to do with it. So my wife and I can see something and taste something and have completely different conversations around what happened. Literally, I would walk into the house and feel like I'm okay, but yet she's in a bad mood and now I'm seeing as the enemy, et cetera. So being perceptional, that's great. So this is just a good conversation to have us just kind of take a moment and see ourselves for who we are or who we're being. And I just thought that's where this conversation was going to go and you're actually walking right into it, which is great.   Speaker 2·43:58So now I can answer your question. The question that I wish you would have asked me to play into your question is, how can a person's faith fitness? How can you, john Morgan most help a person with their faith, their fitness, their fellowship and their finances, right? And so that would have been completely out of left field because it's kind of a mouthful. But when I ask myself that question, I sit with it. I don't have to try to figure that s*** out because I have faith. I have faith that whatever shows up when I listen to that question with my heart, that whatever shows up, that's f****** useful.   Speaker 2·44:36So I'm going to let my mouth open and say that's how I've learned to make a big difference in a small amount of time, to trust that, to not try to figure that s*** out, but just trust it and go. So I'm going to do that here. I don't know what's going to come, but what I'm seeing is between miles 20 and 26 of the marathon that I ran a few weeks ago, which I ran without training, I had run two or 3 miles a week on and off over the past year. So I wasn't ready. But I did it. Why did I do it? Because I was and am and continue to be fascinated with how much more we can achieve when we liberate ourselves from ideas that are common. Common ideas like you should stop when it hurts.   Speaker 2·45:21Ideas like running when something hurt means you're going to get an injury. And ideas like injuries are bad. I asked Chat tpt, what is the benefit of injury? There is no benefit of injury. Are you f****** kidding me? Every time I injure my hands on the barbell, they call us and they get thicker and I become more capable of doing things with my hands. There is benefit to injury. I could make a mile long list. And so ideas that are so common that even artificial intelligence can't see beyond them, why is that important for me to share with your team, with your community?   Speaker 2·45:55Because when you look at fitness not as a context to produce an outcome that's for your physical body, but you look at fitness as a context to develop a capacity to do things that are difficult and hard, suddenly fitness becomes the f****** fusion reactor for your entire life. And so when I go out in my barn and I hit the bag I'm a big fan of a company called Fight Camp. They're like the boxing version of peleton, right? Yeah, I do that four or five days a week. You know them f****** love it.   Speaker 1·46:24I own a rockbox Fitness. That's a fitness franchise. I own two of those. So they're kickboxing and functional fitness.   Speaker 2·46:30So I get the same idea. So you get it. So when I go out there and hit that bag and I'm an animal on the leaderboard, it's like I want to beat everybody on the leaderboard. I want to hit it as hard as I can, as fast as I can and keep that pace. Right? Why? Is it because I got some ego trip about beating people on the leaderboard? No. Because I know that if I can do that, when my heart's like, going to explode, when my breath and I can't even keep my breath if I can tell myself to keep going. And what I've done is I've endured. And the word endure etymologically comes from indira. That's Latin for strength. And within what I'm doing when I'm enduring, it's not about, oh, I'm getting to some outcome.   Speaker 2·47:09It's not about, oh, I'm suffering now. I'm not suffering. There's pain and I'm enjoying it. What I'm doing is I'm cultivating strength in my heart. I'm strengthening my heart, which in old Latin was to strengthen the will. And I walk out of that barn and I walk back into my office and there are things that I can do and will do that I wouldn't have done if I didn't cultivate that capacity. So I would say for all the guys listening to this, get f****** fit in your physical body because it will raise everything in your life and don't do it for the outcome. Like, oh, I'm going to have ABS.   Speaker 2·47:39No, when you finish the workout, you just got strength of will and heart that's going to actually benefit you and your finances and your fellowship and your faith so much more than ABS ever could.   Speaker 1·47:49Love it. That's great, man.   Speaker 2·47:51Thanks for asking.   Speaker 1·47:53Thanks for answering.   Speaker 2·47:54You're welcome.   Speaker 1·47:56Love it. This guy loves teen. This guy up. Do you have a tagline? Do you have anything that you would go a quote or motto that you live by?   Speaker 2·48:04Yeah, man, what do you got? I am creating, and my being is primary. I am love as loving awareness, as loving kindness. I am magic. I am the gathering of pattern and power, and I create as I speak. I am that I live the archetypal energy of the king. And I know that you will do as I command. I know that I may be wrong, and that's okay, for I am my justification. I am mastery of energy change over time. That is, I am the mastery of power, and I am the arbiter of time. In fact, I know that I have all the time there is to do with what I will, and my will shall be the whole of the law.   Speaker 1·48:48There's a little taste that is pretty powerful. I like having somebody have something powerful to say and respond. Now I'm going to throw the opposite question. Let me see if I even wrote this one down. Maybe it's on my podcast. I'll find it here and I got my notes, but it was more or less having like, affirmations. Let's see, how do you feel about that? Are you someone who speaks affirmations into somebody? Do you feel like it's just cheap words that people just aren't willing to take action on? How do you feel about affirmations?   Speaker 2·49:23So yes, I feel that affirmations are cheap words. I don't affirm anything. But what I do is I declare every day who I am and who I am being. And that distinction is the distinction that makes the difference. There's been psychological research done on affirmations, and in most cases the research shows that they are not only not productive, but counterproductive. Because to affirm something is try to convince yourself of something that you believe in your heart isn't true. And what it does by speaking it is actually with that lack of presence and that lack of forgiveness. What it actually does is it entrenches the counter belief, and you actually feel worse, feel less happy, less beautiful, whatever it is. And so I don't affirm anything. I say it wasn't the affirmation of 1776 that created the United States. It was a declaration.   Speaker 2·50:13We're not trying to convince anybody. This is a decision. Heads up. This is starting now. And it is. And it comes from a space of letting go of the old. And so for me, there's a deep process, a spiritual process of real liberation and forgiveness from the counter belief that has to take place before there is a declaration. And that needs to be a declaration, not an affirmation. It needs to be a decision, a statement. And those things I just shared with you are part of the declarations that I speak on a regular basis. I journal them. I speak them aloud. I create myself that's the conscious inculcation. Of who I am being, which is a capitalized being, not all uppercase being of that ma'am.   Speaker 1·50:53I have yet to find it, but I don't think I need to. I think you crushed it and I am on the same page. I don't believe you can sit there and just tell yourself it's like the person who gets hype in the gym and does a set and screams loud and makes a big scene. And it's wanting someone to look at them or wanting to empower themselves to do something. When you just sit on the bench and do it, or just take action and get it done. So you set up much more eloquently than I did. Very good. Let's see.   Speaker 2·51:19Well, the best way to teach yourself who you are is to do the thing that's an expression of that. There's no better convincer of identity than an action that comes from such an identity. So for me, speaking can be part of it, but the action that's aligned with that speaking. So if I were being this, then what would I be doing? Cool. Do that, then you're being it. So I'm with you.   Speaker 1·51:39Cool. The more you shine, the more shadows you cast.   Speaker 2·51:45Yeah, I think directions. Yay. F*** yeah. The more you shine, the more shadows you cast. The more you shine, the darker the shadow. The longer the shadow. All that stuff is absolutely true, I think of yourself and of others.   Speaker 1·52:03Why do you think people feel that way when people are out shining them? Do they feel they have something to prove? Do they feel inferior? For the most part, when people see somebody doing something great, they have already a negative attention towards that person and they feel inferior. In my opinion, this is what they feel. Or they feel like they can never achieve that. As opposed to saying, good for that person. Man, that's so cool that they're doing that great thing. It would be cool maybe one day, if I can do something like it and be in motion to say I'm inspired, I'm looking up to this person. I'd like to do more and learn from this person.   Speaker 2·52:36Why do you see their innocence? I see their innocence. Man, it's heartbreaking when I shine and somebody else gets triggered by it or annoyed by it. I am. I feel heartbreak for the fact that they have a story about themselves as not capable, that they're not consciously aware of, and they are feeling the pain of they're feeling their sadness. It f****** hurts to believe the lie that I'm not capable of that. And then I'm so unaware that I'm believing that lie and that I'm even feeling the hurt that I get a secondary emotional response, which is anger. And then I project that away from me outward, as if it's that person, and I look for some flaw in them and try to tear them down. So I'm like seven orders away from what's actually going on.   Speaker 2·53:19So to me, that's heartbreaking, that's whole messes there. And that's what I love to help people with.   Speaker 1·53:25Yeah, I hear you, and I sense it too, and I see people doing certain things like that. I just always say it's like looking at from a scarcity perspective. People are like, oh, I got to cut expenses. And don't get me wrong, you shouldn't be blatantly spending too much. But I always say, just make more money. When I lived on Wall Street and different things happened, had a talk on Harvard way back when, I think it was May, I actually just shared a piece of it the other day, and I said, if I could lose $100,000 overnight, I could gain $100,000 overnight. You know what I mean? And that was part of just being the emotional trauma and the roller coaster of money coming and going, and it's having a deep self worth of who you are and what you can accomplish.   Speaker 1·54:05And the stories that we tell about ourselves become who we are. It becomes a belief in the sense of what we can do. So when we started the conversation with you are your own self worth or you can never outlive your own self worth, it becomes true because that's the story that people paint. How do you help people unpack that? I think both of us are very mental magicians, if you will, when it comes down to what we do with clients, because we could tell them to do X, Y, and Z in the gym or in business, et cetera. But if we can't change the way they think or the way they respond or the way they perceive, we got nothing. So how do you get into that?   Speaker 2·54:36Well, for that one in particular, it's a Bible study for me. You're going to love this one, Matthew. Oh, God, I can't remember the verse right now, but it's the book of Matthew. And you'll know the verse, to those who have more will be given, and to those who have not, all will be taken away. And so I help people to understand that because it's their way of seeing the world that often gets in the way of their efficacy. It's not always a personal limitation. It's their map of reality that often stops them. And so my explanation for that verse is to those who believe that they have more will actually be given, and to those who believe that they don't have those who live in scarcity, all will actually be taken away from them.   Speaker 2·55:19And when you start to look at that in the world, you're like, holy s***, that's true. There's actually I don't know if you knew this in the wikipedia you can find there's a thing called the Matthew effect. It's a principle that has been shown to exist in all areas of life. Financially. Everything literally to those who have more is those get more. The people who get the most funding, they get more funding and it just goes on and on in every area. And so it's true at every level. And it's like if you look at that from a place of victimhood, oh my gosh, I don't have so I'm not going to be given you're not getting it. You're saying you don't have as a way of believing. If you so then start focusing on what you do have.   Speaker 2·55:58You start with what you actually have. Like, well, I have my health, I've got my wife and my kids. And then you start to feel gratitude and then you realize that everything that you have is imagined. And I say to people, it's like, when do you have money? Do you have when somebody says yes to paying you? Do you have the money when they pay the invoice or do you have it when it clears and now it's in funds that you can use? Or do you have to take it out of that bank and have it as cash or do you have to eat it? When do you have it? So having is actually something that's a decision that you make. And so if that's the case, then play with that.   Speaker 2·56:35So I have my health, I have my wife, I have my kids, and I have all the money in the world for money is liquid and it flows in abundance. And I'm telling you right now when I say that I f****** have it, dude, I have it the same way as I had this ohana hat right now. And I'll tell you what, when you have something like that, whether or not.   Speaker 1·56:53You actually have it, more is given love that's powerful. And you give me some great sound clips here. So we'll send those your way.   Speaker 2·57:01Awesome, buddy.   Speaker 1·57:02We'll get you hooked up. So I got two more things. We're closing in on an hour here with this episode and I have two questions to ask you. What would you tell your 20 year old self if you know the advice that you know now? What, what would be the person you know in the that would need the advice that you can give them today in a line or two? Just something that you see that is completely something that's not prevalent when you're in that come up stage. Not to say that my audience is 20 to 30, they're probably 30 or more. The avatar is probably 35. But what would you say to that learning experience that you've got today that you know d*** well didn't serve you earlier?   Speaker 2·57:41I don't know. I always find these the most challenging questions and I'd say bring any question. And the reason I find them challenging is because I don't wish that anything was different in my past. I value all of the quote unquote wrong turns and struggles as much as I do the right turns. Right. I have this Back to the Future fear. Like if I were to go back with the almanac, I'm going to f*** it up. We're going to end up with biffs.   Speaker 1·58:03Going to be high rise. I hear that. And I'm not saying change anything, but what can you see is for me listening to you? Have you always had this sense of inner intersection?   Speaker 2·58:18I used to be more of a d*** and I started to be a nicer, kinder person. So if I could go back, I don't think there'd be any downside of me being less of a d*** sooner. So I'd go all the way back to elementary school. Actually, this is the first time I ever saw it. You've given me a good answer that I'll use in every podcast here. Ford. Like I would go back and I would just show myself how I was unconsciously being a d*** because I was afraid that I had to be sarcastic and one up people in order to be safe and loved. And I just give myself a hug and I'd be like, look buddy, you can be kind and you can still have power. So that's what I would change.   Speaker 1·58:53I like that. And I don't typically ask the typical podcast questions. Usually you're the first person who's actually probably got some random ones that just say, I just want to see how you're going to respond actually.   Speaker 2·59:04Cool man.   Speaker 1·59:04I have different ways to go

Jamie "The Hooligan" Mullarkey is a professional MMA fighter who is contracted to the UFC. In this week's episode, Jamie discusses being added to the UFC284 roster in Perth, he gives us an update on his fight camp preparation, life growing up in the Central Coast of New South Wales, why he was originally drawn to MMA, coaches that have been influential on him, the importance of spending time with mates, managing nerves, facing fear, and much much more. I find Jamie to be somewhat of a paradox; an absolute savage in the Octagon, yet a kind, laid-back, easy going human otherwise. It's been epic watching him train over the last few weeks. The commitment and dedication is unparalleled.  Professional fighter, past guest and friend, Mr Jarrett Wilbraham is our special guest co-host this week.Enjoy,ShanJamie supports and advocates for suicide prevention initiative Talk2mebro.Use code: THTFor discounts...and support the show at the same time!KRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Are you in the Fight?  Whether you realize it or not, you are!  The fight is something that every man finds themselves in.  It is the fight for your marriage, the fight for your family, the fight for leading your home and protecting the ones you love against all that is seeking to destroy the good in your life.  In today's show Strong Dads interviews TC Eckstein from The Fight. TC along with a group of common-minded men have formed the men's movement called The Fight.  The mission is simple in words, but difficult in reality.  Striving to equip, support, and teach every man about the fight they are in and how to win it!  The Fight and Strong Dads share many common aspects to their purpose.  They have joined forces in order to reach even more men.  When one man loses, we all lose.  The man is the strength of the family.  He is the vision-caster and protector of all that is good with his family.  If a man loses his vision or has no vision, his family will suffer.  This is not acceptable if you want to win.TC introduces our audience to The Fight Camp.  A weekend in which life gets simple and hard all at the same time.  Camping on a cold winter weekend with only the basics.  The idea is to eliminate all the so called comforts of life and simplify to what is important.  Refocusing your strength in who you are as a man in God's wilderness.  Learning to survive with a group of men where authenticity is the key to your growth.  No more masks!Men learn to connect and build a band of brothers.  A team where everyone understands who the real enemy is and how to overcome the enemy and bring victory into your life.

Follow Brooklyn's Crusade on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bbbrookeeeee When PFC Denisha Montgomery-Smith's family was notified that she died by suicide - they were immediately suspicious, because 21 days before Denisha's death - Denisha made a call back home and she asked them to record the video call. In the video, that took place on July 19, 2022, Denisha told her family she was assaulted while riding in a car with 4 other soldiers. One of the assailants was Denisha's roommate.  Denisha vowed to report the assault, but was discouraged from reporting it to Army CID, because she would "get in trouble for defending herself." Feeling defeated, Denisha just wanted to return to the U.S. to be with her family. For the next several weeks, she kept to herself. And on the night of her death, Denisha video chatted with her husband and kids and nothing seemed amiss. Hours later, Denisha was hanging from her wall locker. Join Margot, as she tells you more about who Denisha was as a person before her death and the information that leads her family to believe Denisha was murdered. —— Ways to support your favorite podcast: Join My Patreon Family!
