In an opening-round rematch from the 2020 playoffs, the Mavericks have stunned many by stealing the first two games in Los Angeles. As the Clippers scramble for answers as to how to slow down Luka Doncic and company’s electric offense, The Athletic’s Law Murray breaks it all down. Is the series all but over? If not, how can the Clippers give themselves a fighting chance? If the Mavs do eliminate them, what’s the likelihood that franchise cornerstone Kawhi Leonard will leave in the offseason? Murray tackles these and many other timely LAC topics.   14:35-15:08: “The Clippers chose a lot of this. They chose their opponent. They chose a lot of the narratives that went into how they got here. They chose health over whatever could have been gained by playing the last two regular-season games. They chose their path. Now they’re in a situation where things are as hard as they can be. Either the Clippers are gonna overcome it and it’s going to be like, ‘Wooh, well, you got through that.’ Or they’re not gonna be around after next weekend. That’s it!  27:10-27:46: “The Clippers need to play with a lead, and then they won’t have to do the crazy stuff that comes with these unorthodox lineups and unorthodox defenses. They’re doing it because they have to create events to regain some level of control when they’re running out of time. … That’s where the Clippers are in trouble. They’re playing a catch-up game against a team that you don’t wanna be playing catch-up against.” 28:02-28:12: “They’re not getting enough out of Zu. Honestly, that’s been the biggest concern. [Mavericks head coach] Rick Carlisle should get a lot of credit for taking Ivica Zubac out of this series.” 34:19-34:25: “The Clippers have a surplus of options [to defend Doncic]. It’s just that not enough of them are good right now.” 39:06-40:25: “Marcus [Morris] is a vet. Marcus is supposed to be the guy that exudes toughness, that’s supposed to be the third scorer, that’s supposed to be the shooter, that’s supposed to be the versatile defender, that’s supposed to be able to respond when the team needs a response, and Marcus has been really, really bad. … The impact Marcus has had on this series compared to Tim Hardaway Jr. is the difference in this series. … For Marcus to be a no-show right now, the Clippers aren’t winning this series. They’re not getting close with Marcus playing as poorly as he’s played.”    48:41-48:52: “This Dallas team game-planned to take away the things that hurt them last year, and it’s just tough beating a team two years in a row in the playoffs.” Sponsor: Use code TBPN during sign-up at DraftKings.com to claim your free shot at millions of dollars in total prizes.

On today’s episode of Vital Metabolic, hosts James Wheeler and John Parker speak with Marcus Martinez, Master kettlebell coach for Kettlebell Kings and highly experienced kettlebell trainer. Marcus is a trainer who specializes in kettlebells and kettlebell flow. Marcus speaks about what brought him to kettlebells, how he uses them in training, and why he prefers to stick to a vegan diet.   Episode Highlights:  4:25 - John reads a quick bio for Marcus. 5:40 - When did you pick up your first kettlebell and what was your experience like? 7:40 - When Marcus started using kettlebells in 2006, there was not much information online to help him learn how to train with them. 9:10 - Did you do any other strength and conditioning in your life prior to kettlebells? 12:40 - Do your foundations come from the hard-style work? 15:10 - How do you apply general principles, or more specific principles, with the thought of sport or just daily life in mind? 18:45 - What are some exercises that get us out of the sagittal plane and more into the transverse and frontal planes? 24:40 - Marcus’ main reason for starting his Instagram was to show kettlebell exercises and what all is possible with the kettlebell. 25:55 - Marcus always makes sure he uses a weight that is significant in a way that is taxing for him. 29:00 - Can you explain the difference between a chain, a complex, and a flow? 31:20 - Marcus speaks about his experience with Olympic lifting. 34:30 - In the classes you teach, do people often have goals? How do you work with those? 37:22 - For Marcus, kettlebell flow is a way to play, which helps him mentally and makes it a very different experience. 39:30 - Marcus also speaks about how kettlebells help him with grip training. 41:30 - Marcus speaks about his diet and being largely plant based. 43:30 - For Marcus, being (mostly) vegan has helped him to feel his best. 45:13 - Marcus speaks about what his meals look like and his balance of macronutrients. 47:17 - The group discusses low-carb diets and why they do and don’t work for different people. 50:00 - Marcus answers some rapid-fire questions. 53:00 - Marcus tells listeners where to find his courses and follow him on social media.   3 Key Points: Kettlebell flow allows you to move in ways that you wouldn’t necessarily plan. Kettlebell flow can be a way to “play” and make exercise a different type of experience. Diet plays a significant part in your overall health, and it’s important to get the right macronutrients..   Tweetable Quotes:  “As soon as you pick up a kettlebell, you realize just the unique anatomy of the bell, how different it is from anything else.” -Marcus Martinez “You need to become the expert on you.” -Marcus Martinez   Resources Mentioned:  James: Facebook Instagram Twitter John: Facebook Instagram Twitter Email: questions@vitalmetabolic.com Sponsor: Kettlebell Gains Apparel Sponsor: Great Lakes Giriya Marcus: YouTube Instagram Facebook The Kettlebell Difference Living.Fit

Marcus Aurelius said that pain either affects the body or the soul. What’s the difference? “The soul can choose not to be affected, preserving its own serenity, its own tranquillity. All our decisions, urges, desires, aversions lie within. No evil can touch them.” Pierre Hadot’s metaphor for this was the “inner citadel.” Hadot said that Marcus worked to create a soul, a core, an inner fortress that fate, chaos, hysterics, vice, and outside influences could never penetrate or break down. Ada Palmer—a historian, professor, and novelist—knows the importance of building an inner citadel. In addition to the tummults of academia, publishing, and constant deadlines, Ada is also disabled and suffers from chronic pain. She says that, sounding like Hadot, “Stoicism is about achieving interior tranquillity.” Hadot said that Marcus wrote to himself to strengthen the walls of his citadel, to achieve interior tranquility. In our interview with Ada for DailyStoic.com, we asked her about how she does it:I use a variety of different techniques to battle the gloom, "morbid thinking," and other mental effects of chronic pain. I self-monitor carefully, keeping an inner lookout for when I find myself dwelling on something that's upsetting me, and I have a sort of triage of responses. I ask myself (A) can I find an actionable solution to the problem? If not (B) can I get myself to stop worrying about the problem and let go? Can I laugh at the problem? Can I ask myself whether this will really matter in a year or five years? Sometimes that alone can break the spell, but if it doesn't this is where I find the maxims, especially the vivid images, often help. One of my favorites is the stoic image of life as being like being a guest at a banquet. Many great platters are being passed around for you to take from, but occasionally one arrives already empty, everyone else has already taken it all. It's easy to be angry, and it is unfair, but the food wasn't yours to begin with, it was a gift from your host, and you didn't really need it, there is plenty of other food. Sometimes just thinking about that can make me less upset by something. It's amazing how that kind of reframing, zooming out, or changing perspective can sometimes dispel the stormy thoughts that are really what are causing one's unhappiness. Cultivating your inner citadel doesn’t mean reaching a point where one is immune to life’s disturbances. It’s about having your systems in place, your battle-tested line of defense, ready to fend them off when they inevitably do show up. For Marcus, it was journaling. For Ada, it’s stopping, reframing, changing perspectives. What is it for you?

Marcus Aurelius Anderson is an Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker and International Keynote Speaker, High Performance Mindset Coach for Leaders, CEO’s and entrepreneurs. He’s also the host of the #1 New and Noteworthy podcast “Conscious Millionaire Epic Achiever” show.  While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed.  After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life, but told him he'd never walk again.  Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury. Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen... Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires and coaches others to overcome their own Adversities to actualize their personal definition of success in business and every area of life.  Key Points from the Episode with Marcus Aurelius Anderson: We opened in the middle of a conversation about Marcus’s name, which belonged to a Roman emperor, which set up a very high bar to aspire to. That’s something that drives him rather than makes him feel inadequate. That’s a theme for the conversation. Adversity is at the heart of what Marcus talks about, and it’s something he sees as a gift. That view is of course born from his life experience, and his specific experience with extreme adversity. Not just a gift, but adversity is also an inevitability for all of us. That makes the choice of how we relate to it that much more important. The choice we have in each moment of adversity is whether we attach emotion to it. Is this an opportunity to react or be empathetic and human to the person who is challenging us. While this can be hard in the moment, the key is to practice and focus on it in moments free of adversity so we are more trained for when these moments arise. Marcus’s first hand understanding started when we joined the military at 38, which is very old for their standards. We talked about priorities, which is what we pour our time and focus into. We often say things are priorities yet we don’t treat them that way. This was the situation with his marriage. He prioritized his studies to become a chiropractor, so his marriage fell apart. This started a path to need a change and a stronger sense of purpose and service, which led him to the military. The tendency we all have is to put as much distance between ourselves and the adversity as possible. Instead, why not try to find out what’s going on and how to keep it from happening again? As his training pre-deployment continued, he started to have issues with his grip and nerves. It kept progressing, and Marcus kept denying it was real. It culminated one morning when he was woken up by someone at his door, and he couldn’t get out of bed to let them in. He was completely paralyzed from the neck down. Without knowing it, Marcus summed up the whole idea of Do a Day. He said, "If you had a great or bad day yesterday, today is the day you get to continue. You get to decide and dictate how you live your life from this moment on, and you choose that moment over and over again.” We talked about the power of being present, and how it can allow people to be more productive while also being able to focus on what we say are our priorities better than we have been. A key to all of this is finding your true motivation, something I totally agree with. Instead of something fleeting or material, focus on something deeper that truly moves you and is enduring. He had spinal surgery after waking up paralyzed, which was fraught with complications, delays and difficulties. He died on the operating table, and was brought back to news that he was lucky to be alive but shouldn’t expect more. He realized he was really stuck with the situation. He couldn’t just ignore it like he had been ignoring the growing nerve and strength issues before his paralysis. He kept thinking the next day, he would be able to feel things, and when it wouldn’t come, he would be livid. It helped him to see how we assume our abilities will be there – our success, physical capabilities, relationships, etc. Marcus learned first hand that this isn’t true. He asks people, if you woke up paralyzed tomorrow morning, what would you wish you had in your life? This question can help people refocus on those things they claim are priorities. When we think about losing things, we realize we may look back on what we think are struggles today, and appreciate the growth they can afford us. Everything we do should have purpose, intention and growth in it. If we steer our own bus, it can. We talked about gratitude, and how people often just focus on the things they like. That means that we are only grateful for half (or something like that) of the things in our life. That’s leaving so much opportunity for more gratitude, if we choose to see the things to be thankful for in the tougher moments we don’t like as much. For Marcus, it took three months before he had sensation in his extremities and a year before he was able to walk fully. Throughout that period, he had suicidal thoughts, but because of his paralysis, he couldn’t act on it. Today, his mindset is what would save him. One thing he’s been able to draw from is his martial arts training around the Zen mind. One aspect of it is to remove yourself from the situation and try to look at it holistically. This helps remove the feeling of being hurt that can keep us from seeing potential and opportunity. A week after shifting his mindset is when he started to regain feeling in his hand. He also saw the similarity in facing a bigger, stronger opponent. If you only fight against them, they will win. If you turn into them and move with them momentarily, you can gain an advantage. In his own struggle to recover, he saw the same dynamic. He was fighting what was going on hard and angrily. Instead, he tried submitting to it and going with it after three months, and that allowed him to change the dynamic, see the benefit and turn things around.

Think about the one thing you love to do. It could be a task you perform in your job, in school, or in your everyday life. This is the thing that energizes you when you think about it, and motivates you to get up every day. When you're doing it, time seems to fly by, and you walk away with more energy than when you started. This is your unique ability, and designing your life (and work) to spend more time doing it is the secret to greater happiness and productivity. In this leadership-focused episode, we break down the concept of unique ability in the context of our working lives. You will learn: What we mean by unique ability. How to discover your own unique ability. How to align our work with our unique ability. How to bring out unique ability in the people you work with. BONUS EXERCISE: Love It / Loathe It Here's Marcus Buckingham's quick and easy strategy for discovering your unique ability: Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one side write “Loved It,” and the other write “Loathed It.” As you go through your week, reflect daily on the things that you looked forward to, that made time speed up, that energize, or that may have made you a little tired, but that you want to do again. Those all go in the “Loved It” category. Now think about everything you do that you put off, that makes time drag on, or that leave you completely drained and exhausted. Those go in the “Loathed It” category. Before long, you’ll have a clear picture of your strengths. The beauty of this method is that it’s not abstract – these are actual tasks, functions, or activities that you actually perform during your week. Now summarize your findings using specific action verbs (again, nothing abstract). For Marcus, these words were “interview” and “mingle” – he found that he loved interviewing people, but absolutely loathed mingling.   Links Dan Sullivan, Strategic Coach

For Marcus, life was pretty interesting from the start, getting in to trouble at school and probably having undiagnosed ADHD. He was disconnected and obsessive from around 9 years old, stealing money to buy basketball cards and play video games. Marcus was always looking for excitement and started smoking weed in year 7, eventually leaving school in year 9. He got involved in crime to fund his drug use and started injecting heroin in his early 20’s. It was all downhill from here into a life of drugs, crime and gaol. Marcus didn’t really care who he hurt or what became of him as he couldn’t stop using. As a last resort he eventually asked his family for help, he got into rehab and then to Narcotics Anonymous. After a couple of attempts at NA, Marcus has now been clean for 15 months and can’t believe how good life is.Will’s family moved around a lot when he was young and he found it difficult to fit in at each new school. He moved from New Zealand to Australia in year 7 where he was bullied and excluded based on his accent. On New Year’s Eve Will discovered alcohol at 13 years old, drank to blackout and fell out of a treehouse. He returned to Aus. around 18 and over about 4 years Will progressed to using marijuana daily but moved on to using methamphetamines after having some seizures. Gambling while using, he exhausted his partner’s money and eventually they were evicted from their accommodation. This was the first time Will had to be honest about his addiction and this led him into NA and after a short relapse he has now been clean for 6 months, loves life and has great relationships.If you have a problem with drugs of any kind, you can call the Narcotics Anonymous helpline on 1300 652 820 or 0488 811 247 or go online at na.org.au.

Marcus Cook lives by the quotes, "Do Something New Every Day" because "You Never Know What You're Preparing Yourself For."  Two years ago, inspired by the dying wish of a friend, then 500lb Marcus Cook made a drastic change. He knew if he didn't act quickly, he wouldn't be around to see his kids grow up and have families of their own. In September 2015, Cook had gastric bypass surgery with renowned bariatric surgeon, Dr. Garth Davis, in Houston, Texas.   And, less than two years later, Marcus crossed the finish line of his first full Ironman! How was this possible? Marcus credits two things throughout this conversation: 1) The people in his life that were willing to help him along the way 2) Taking small steps - literally. For Marcus, it was walking just 20 minutes a day. That's all he could do at first. Well, that 20 minutes daily walk turned into one mile, two miles, three miles and eventually led to triathlons, marathons and Ironmans - all in less than two years.  These days, Marcus travels the country and continues to chronicle his efforts at BigtoLittle.com and other social media channels.  Most recently, Marcus played the role of hero along with many other Houstonians who spent the days after the hurricane rescuing people in boats by the hundreds and feeding people by the thousands. He's quick to say that the "old Marcus" couldn't have done this. His story may center around going from "Big to Little," but to me, Marcus Cook has a heart of gold that's gone from "Big to Bigger."  This is his story.  Links for Marcus Cook: Facebook Instagram Website Theme Music: ”Aitech" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
