Podcast appearances and mentions of John Brenkus

On this week's episode of The Game Within, we open with the tragic passing of John Brenkus and what it's reignited about men's mental health in sports. Then we turn to the Royals' top prospect Jac Caglianone and how versatility might be the only path to the majors in today's MLB. We break down what an expanded March Madness could mean for TV money and mid-majors, and why Bruce Pearl might be the next coach to swap the sideline for the Senate floor. Plus: Saquon Barkley just had a monster season—so should Eagles fans be worried about the Madden Curse? In our deep dive, we unpack why a Pacers–Thunder NBA Finals might be a nightmare for ratings but a victory for the league's future—and how the new CBA is finally giving small markets a real shot at a title.

Here comes the heat! Turned on the AC in the house yesterday and it's a nice 64° inside. Thankfully, it's going to cool off tomorrow with some showers & thunderstorms expected in the area. In the news this morning, multiple injuries in a "targeted attack" in Colorado, RIP to Loretta Swit, an update on some of the road construction happening in the La Crosse area, a UTV crashed into a K9 squad car, and the Bloomer Brewing Company closed it's doors over the weekend. In sports, the Brewers have won 7 in a row…including a weekend sweep of the Phillies, the Pacers beat the Knicks on Saturday to advance to the NBA finals, the Stanley Cup final begins on Wednesday, Ryan Blaney won in Nashville last night, the Rockies set new record for futility in MLB, and Zion Williamson has been accused of rape & abuse by an ex-girlfriend. Elsewhere in sports, Scott Hanson will be back on RedZone this year, John Brenkus from ESPN's "Sports Science" has died, and the world of boxing has new "sex testing" policies. Talked about what's on TV today and some of the trailers that came out this weekend, including "Happy Gilmore 2" and the new "Frankenstein" film. Plus, the schedule for the final season of "Stranger Things". Very cool story about a recent high school grad who had to work his shift at Burger King right after his graduation ceremony, and another great story about a toddler that was rescued by police after it got onto the luggage belt at an airport. Today is "National Leave Work Early Day", so we looked at some popular excuses for cutting out of work early…and we also discussed a list of things that happened a decade ago. Some food stuff this morning, including jalapenos in your wine, a caviar & cocktail combo that costs $33,000, Starbucks looking for influencers to fly around the world, Did you catch Peyton Manning playing golf this weekend with Scottie Scheffler? Needless to say, it didn't go well for the former Colts QB. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a naked flight attendant, a bunch of bees that escaped from a semi-truck, a woman who was stealing items from graves in cemeteries, a woman who woke up to a stranger sucking on her toes in Sacramento,and a snake that bit a dude's wiener when he was trying to take a piss.

Our guest today is John Timar, CEO of Kill Cliff. Kill Cliff is America's best-selling clean energy drink and the official drink of the Atlanta Braves. We discuss how the Navy Seals impacted John and led the founding of Kill Cliff, some of the creative marketing initiatives Kill Cliff has done the past few years including a partnership with Joe Rogan, why at one point they considered a rebrand, and how they doubled down on their core audience and release new SKUs. Without further ado, here's John. Why did you want to be a Navy SEAL? What was the hardest part of becoming a SEAL? What did you most learn from that experience? How was the transition to civilian life? How was the transition from SEALs into business? What did you first do after the SEALs?Don't have the community Why did Todd Ehrlich found Kill Cliff? What was the insight? How did you know Todd? When you say lost its way, give an example of something that the company did that was inauthentic to the brand? What were some of the challenges going from enterprise to consumer? How is it a better alternative to what's out there? Kill What's been the low points and tough moments within Kill Cliff? When did you get involved? Why did you get involved? What was your first role? How do you approach distribution since I'd imagine the Red Bull probably try to block you? You were able to recruit John Brenkus as your CMO. How did you convince him to join and what has been the impact? How do you approach partnerships? What is Kill Cliff fight club? When did you decide to get into CBD and why? What's the perception of energy drinks? How did you raise capital? Why were you promoted to CEO?

John Brenkus shares his journey into Television and talks about Sports Science, Fight Science and his experiences hosting and producing. John talks about his intentional candor with family and friends and how his positive views on faith and hope help him live his best life. Armed with the belief that “You can do anything you can do” John has proven that it is possible to take on a wide variety of projects and be successful in any arena.     Highlighted Quotes “Humans are Good” What always has given me hope is I genuinely believe humans are good, I just have seen too much. I've lived in too many places. I've met too many people to think otherwise. Does evil exist? Of course it does. And of course there are bad apples, of course, there's such a small percentage, and that small percentage still have redemption and hope. I don't think that the way positive energy works is the positive just turns negative, I think positive begets positive, and the more positive messages we can put out there, the better. As people sit back and they say, “the world is falling apart and everything is terrible.” be careful what you're ingesting and what you're putting into your brain in your body. “Bigger” Bigger, stronger, faster does not mean better. You need to be big enough, strong enough fast enough. but as soon as you're in that class of “hey I can compete” then the difference is, do you think calm under pressure, do you freak out, like what happens to you when the lights are on, and you gotta do what you need to do. Do you do your job as Belickic would say. “The Process” A lot of people want to do something, and get something in return right away. It seems trite to say, but it's really the process that will guide you.   Resources/Mentions: TV Science Live  XMA Sport Science  Fight Science      Product Kill Cliff  Conspiracy Theory   Website John Brenkus  Guest Links  Twitter Linkedin  Podcast Links: Instagram: @Hopestrategy  Facebook: @hopestrategy  Twitter: @thehopestrategy Youtube The Hope Strategy

The beginning of a new year is just like any other day: an opportunity to refresh and create the life you want to live. It's great that people focus on this every new year, but can you imagine living a life where you wake up and approach every day with this mindset?   Too often, the New Year comes and we make a resolution – we decide to lose weight, drink less, etc. – and then, after a few days or weeks, we start to slide. But today's guest understands that you can't do something halfway. If you want to make a change, you have to make the choice to change. But not only that, you also have to be committed to that choice!   John Brenkus (affectionately referred to as “Johnny One Speed” by his wife) is the 6x Emmy-Award Winning Creator, Host, and Producer of Sport Science, the Best-Selling Author of The Perfection Point, and host of https://linktr.ee/brinkofmidnight (The Brink of Midnight Podcast) – and he is the perfect person to teach us how to tackle each day like an opportunity to do more.   The 7 P's of Life   John's dad had a profound impact on his life, and one of the most important things he taught him were the 7 P's: Prior Proper Planning Prevent Piss-Poor Performance. In other words, you're never going to get where you want to go without direction.   At the same time, John's father taught him to dream big. When you combine these lessons, you have a recipe for a remarkable life. And when you take that with you every day, it's almost impossible not to achieve what you set out to do.   “Whatever it is that I want to do, I'm either doing it or I'm not doing it; I'm either on or I'm off.”   In a world full of get-rich-quick schemes and Facebook ads promising one product to solve all of your weight-loss problems, there are people selling shortcuts to every dream. But shortcuts rarely work the way they're sold, and there's great value in choosing the more difficult path.   This path less traveled will require constant reinvention, and that's definitely not an easy thing to do – but it will be just a little bit easier if you approach each day as an opportunity to refresh.   --     Resources: Learn more at https://www.johnbrenkus.com/ (https://www.johnbrenkus.com/) Connect with John: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook Listen: The Brink of Midnight Podcast Watch: Soul & Science Watch: Sport Science Read: The Perfection Point: Sport Science Predicts the Fastest Man, the Highest Jump, and the Limits of Athletic Performance Support the Ray of Hope Foundation: https://www.rayofhopefoundation.org/ (https://www.rayofhopefoundation.org/) Get tickets for the Gold Jacket Party for a Purpose: https://www.rayofhopefoundation.org/tickets   --   We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full-service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.

Sarah Reinertsen, Paralympian, ITU Paratriathlon World Champion, Runner, and Ironman triathlon athlete joins The Brink of Midnight Podcast with John Brenkus for a milestone 100th episode. Sarah “Iron Sarah” Reinertsen is a true pioneer. Born with proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), she made the bold decision as a seven year old to amputate her leg. She envisioned jumping right in with other kids and leading a fully active life, and that vision drives her today in breaking barriers and challenging perceptions. Sarah's list of “firsts” could fill several lifetimes: setting her first World Record (100m dash) at age 13, first amputee featured on the cover of Runner's World Magazine, first female athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship on a prosthetic (2005), first amputee (male or female) to grace the cover of ESPN Magazine's Body Issue, first amputee (male or female) to participate in CBS's “The Amazing Race”, first amputee (male or female) to complete the World Marathon Challenge (7 half-marathons on 7 continents in 7 days), and first female athlete to run the Great Wall Marathon in China on a prosthesis. Oh yeah, and Sarah's represented Team USA at the Paralympics, is a three-time ITU Paratriathlon World Champion, has won six gold medals, and held five previous world records…all while having a full-time job at Nike. Despite Sarah's extensive accomplishments, she will tell you that she's made of the same stuff inside all of us, and she truly believes that we can all seek and accomplish what we envision. The bolder the better. That's what's bringing her back to the Kona Ironman World Championship on October 13, 2018 on Ironman's 40th anniversary. Get ready for a serious shot of inspiration - Sarah's energy and can-do attitude is contagious!

Nelson Dellis, 4x USA Memory Champion and Alzheimer's activist, joins The Brink of Midnight Podcast with John Brenkus. In this device and app-laden landscape of our day to day lives, when was the last time you aimed to remember a phone number or directions, or do some simple math relying only on your memory? While we are using our brains in new ways, we've also let our memory muscles go, having the ability to record, remind, and navigate through the ease of technology. Nelson Dellis wants to help and believes that developing memory is the ultimate act of being present. Being able to focus, limit distractions, and use the “awesome computer” in our heads not only helps us make more meaningful memories, but multiplies those we make and keeps our brains healthy. Nelson is a sought after author (“Remember It!”) and consultant, appearing on FOX's Superhuman, the TODAY Show, CNN, OWN, NatGeo and many more outlets in addition to working with Fortune 500 companies, schools and universities, and professional athletes. His work is recommended by Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Maria Shriver, founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement. By the end of this episode, you'll even be able to put into practice his memory tips! Inspired to learn and develop memory strategies after his grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Nelson also combined his passion for mountaineering with raising awareness of and funding for Alzheimer's research through his charity Climb For Memory. His list of ascents is impressive, including Cotopaxi, Denali, Khumbu, Matterhorn, Mt Blanc and near Everest summits. He brings along those looking to make an impact, grow, and literally reach new heights in their lives! Get ready to use your brain in an impactful, practical, and calming way!

MLB legend, World Series champion, and venture capitalist, Ryan Howard joins The Brink of Midnight Podcast with John Brenkus. Ryan Howard is one of the best baseball players of the modern era, having played for the Philadelphia Phillies from 2004-2016. In baseball, he's pretty much done it all: He hit almost 400 career home runs, had almost 1200 RBIs, and was a three-time All Star, World Series champion (2008), and National League MVP (2006) and Rookie of the Year (2005). He's also led the league in home runs twice and RBIs three times. Needless to say, Ryan is a stud. But, what's even more impressive than his baseball career is who Ryan is as a person and philanthropist. In this conversation, Ryan graciously shares his story of discipline, integrity, and persistence and how those skills are translating into his new pursuits as a venture capitalist.

Merril Hoge, football analyst and former NFL running back, joins The Brink of Midnight with John Brenkus. Football season is now in full swing for both the NCAA and NFL, and Merril Hoge excelled at both levels playing running back for Idaho State University as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears. He's also been a trailblazing analyst for many years. Whether you know Merril from the grid iron or studio, one thing is unmistakeable - Merril Hoge defines tough.  He had to help provide for his family starting at age 12 with the labor intensive job of laying pipe, and it instilled a lifelong work ethic that helped him survive nearly losing his hand, reach his childhood goal of playing in the NFL, beat cancer, and survive major head trauma and open heart surgery.  Merril inspires us all to, no matter what, “find a way” - the motto he's had pinned to his wall since childhood.  For full show notes, visit: www.brinkofmidnight.com | Contact: info@brinkofmidnight.com | Connect on Socials: @brinkofmidnight and @johnbrenkus_ (twitter)
