In this episode, I sat down with TJ & Jamie Jones, owners of Vertical Journey Martial Arts here in Waco. We talked about how TJ's childhood passion for martial arts turned into his full-time business and how they are able to positively impact the community.

A lifelong Martial Artist, Master Grogin's journey began in 1987 after a Karate Birthday Party sparked his passion following The Karate Kid movie. He started Tae Kwon Do in 1992, primarily focusing on a World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) based style, incorporating Olympic Style Sparring and International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) Tul (forms). Guided by various ITF Masters, he explored the traditional ITF Forms and, in 1996, connected with Master Il Kyu Shin, a Korean National Demonstration Team member. Master Grogin currently holds a 6th Dan, acknowledged by Grand Master Frank Noguera and Kukkiwon in Korea. His Tae Kwon Do rank was internationally recognized by the Kokuryu Kai International Black Dragon Association in 2018. Additionally, he delved into Wu Shu in 1995, Combat Hapkido in 1999, and Capoeira Regional in 2006. He also incorporated gymnastics into his training, emphasizing acrobatics and flipping skills.

“When looking at success in whichever capacities, begin with the end in mind, and by doing that you can focus on making the best possible choice.” Joseph Templin Every day you make decisions that either moves you forward or sets you back financially. Your beliefs about money, yourself and the world will inform every aspect of how you deal with money, and therefore is important to fully understand these held convictions. This is according to Joseph Templin, who helps his clients to understand why they make choices that they do around money matters, and why it is important to consider the bigger picture. Reformed physicist, financial planner, startup founder and autodidactic polymath best described as a Swiss Army Knife, Joseph Templin, often referred to as Joe, has invested the past two and a half plus decades to helping others reach their financial potential as a planner, trainer, mentor and creator.  Joe has served as a member of NAIFA (the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors) on the local, state, and national level, and including three terms on the NAIFA National Young Advisors Team (YAT) Subcommittee and was honored as one of the 2011 Four Under 40.  He is a graduate of the Leadership in Life Institute of NAIFA as well as Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and is an alum of Johns Hopkins University.

On today's episode, Joe talks to me about setting money philosophies and how to plan for finances in advance. Listen in! Media Handles: https://everyday-excellence.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-templin/ I went to grad school for physics and my MBA, and I was working full time as a college intern with Northwestern Mutual. After I graduated I maintained my student lifestyle because I knew that deferred compensation was the best model. I never let my lifestyle grow as fast as my income which gave me a lot of flexibility long range. One of the big differences among the financial classes in the United States is people who are truly rich buy tremendous value for things that can last for decades as opposed to the quick fix. People don't realize that if you can save on one area, that allows you to have more output because you dedicate it to things that actually pay dividends. One of the things is you can tell what class somebody is by their philosophy and attitude around money. If you can trade time for money, that's work, and if you can change money for time, that's leisure. Our understanding about money and our philosophies on money are carried forth and reflected in our decisions. One of the questions that I ask my clients is to tell me about their earliest and or strongest memory of money from growing up, and how that has influenced you. It is important to invest the time essentially on financial counseling to understand why you and your significant other make financial choices and come up with a unified family philosophy. Having a unified philosophy is important and ensuring that it can pass on down to the next generation. Commercial break If you really understand why you want to do something, it makes the discussions around it a lot easier, because you're clear about what your value and concern is. When you're looking at your financial philosophies, you want to make sure that your loved ones are inheriting the mindset around money that you desire. When looking at success in whichever capacities, begin with the end in mind, and by doing that you can focus on making the best possible choice. ………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

The legacy of Master Robert J. Clark is significant on the spread of Taekwondo in the United States, yet most modern practitioners have never heard his name. Born in 1913 he was a scholar and athlete, having earned a spot on the 1932 US Olympic Swim Team. Dr. Clark was a military trained man, and in his travels came to be acquainted with Grandmaster Duk Sung Son, the world renowned Chung Do Kwan master. The two men formed an unusual friendship, which would solidify the place of Taekwondo in the United States. In the 1960's Clark became one of the 1st nine Black Belts issued by Grandmaster Son in the United States. Dr. Clark went on to write two English textbooks, called "Korean Karate: The Art of Taekwondo", and "Black Belt Korean Karate." As a professor and economist he traveled the United States, and the world, teaching, literally, thousands of students the ancient Korean art before his passing at 95 years of age. Taekwondo Life's Editor-in-Chief, Marc Zirogiannis, discusses the life and legacy of Dr. Robert Jenkins Clark in this episode, as well as his personal experience training under Dr. Clark, in the 1980's in New York. Clark died on December 28, 2008Support the show (https://squareup.com/store/tae-kwon-do-life-magazine/item/podcast-support-donation)

The 1993 World Taekwondo Championships might be the most important Taekwondo event in modern history. While Taekwondo began to flourish around the globe as an international sport Dr Un Yong Kim and the leaders of the Kukkiwon and the World Taekwondo Federation set their sites on full Olympic recognition as a medal sport. To that end the 11th World Taekwondo Championships, organized by Yeon Hee Park, Yeon Hwan Park, Hwa Chong and other Korean-American Masters, was to be held at the historic Madison Square Garden in 1993 to decide the fate of Taekwondo. This event, bringing athletes from around the globe to the "Mecca of Sports" drew the attention of the entire sports world and the International Olympic Committee. Its success prompted the IOC's decision to grant full recognition status to Taekwondo and propel its worldwide popularity.

The 24,000 sq. ft. school just celebrated its 22nd anniversary and enrolled its 12 thousandth student. Master Rondy lived in Korea from ‘94-'96 as a member of the Korean Tigers Professional Demonstration Team. Today she is the Program Director and instructs at White Tiger, is a columnist for Taekwondo Times Magazine, serves on the Kukkiwon Advisory Board and the US Taekwondo Committee. Master Rondy also travels the world to share her marketing and PR background to help other school owners “achieve their dream”. So today's interview with Master Rondy McKee we will be discussing the Business side of running a martial art school and a few other questions on Taekwondo. I first met Master Rondy with my instructor Master Andrew Brown from Glasgow, he had met Master Rondy over in Korea and was invited to come over to White Tiger Tkd Headquarters in Cary, North Carolina maybe 1997/8. We chat about how amazing White Tiger is and how her profile has grown since those days. We hear about her background and how she came to get where she is today. Master Rondy is running business seminars all over the world, with her most recent in Spain. I ask Master Rondy if she could tell us about the kinda things she teaches at these seminars. Next, I ask Master Rondy what would she say is the biggest problems facing independent martial arts schools and also what kind of things keep coming up in her seminars from other school owners......... is this why she has set up the White Tiger Global Alliance? I ask her to tell us a little more about this alliance and how can people get involved. Two of GB's National coaches, (Paul Green & Gareth Brown) have both picked up coaching director jobs within the US taekwondo coaching team - I ask Master Rondy if she has much experience of The National team set up? And if she has any advice or warnings for them. Next, I ask if Master Rondy would you like to get more involved within the World Taekwondo set up, if so what would she like to do and see happen. The Kukkiwon is still responsible for Taekwondo black belt certification and Master training, I ask Master Rondy if she thinks there's something more the Kukkiwon could do to promote and spread the knowledge some of these high ranking masters have? I've seen on a few occasions Master Rondy also practices Wing Chun with Samuel Kwok we chat about cross training - one last question from me- the usual one... what is it that makes Taekwondo different to other martial arts and how would she describe what it takes to be a black belt. And finally we ask her how can people get in touch with her and we've shared her answers below; Master Rondy Email: MasterRondy@gmail.com Facebook: @masterrondy White Tiger TKD Facebook: @WhiteTigerTKD Website: www.whitetigertkd.com 919-469-3553 office 919-208-3912 cell White Tiger Global Alliance Facebook: @GrandmasterRondy Website: www.whitetigergloballiance.com

The Kukkiwon is still responsible for Taekwondo black belt certification and Master training, I ask Master Rondy if she thinks there’s something more the Kukkiwon could do to promote and spread the knowledge some of these high ranking masters have? I've seen on a few occasions Master Rondy also practices Wing Chun with Samuel Kwok we chat about cross training - one last question from me- the usual one... what is it that makes Taekwondo different to other martial arts and how would she describe what it takes to be a black belt. And finally we ask her how can people get in touch with her and we’ve shared her answers below; Master Rondy Email: MasterRondy@gmail.com Facebook: @masterrondy White Tiger TKD Facebook: @WhiteTigerTKD Website: www.whitetigertkd.com 919-469-3553 office 919-208-3912 cell White Tiger Global Alliance Facebook: @GrandmasterRondy Website: www.whitetigergloballiance.com
