Leading yourself and your family at the same time can feel overwhelming, especially when life pulls you in different directions. The pressure to be strong, make the right decisions, and provide stability can sometimes leave you feeling drained and uncertain. True leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about showing up with intention, learning through challenges, and leading by example. When you prioritize growth, communication, and resilience, you create a foundation that benefits not just you, but the people who rely on you most.Mike Salemi is a renowned expert in the fields of physical and mental performance, specializing in breath work, movement, and men's personal growth. With a background in gymnastics, powerlifting, and kettlebell sport, Mike has honed his skills as a coach and mentor, helping individuals and groups unlock their full potential. Today, Mike talks about the importance of words, breath, and movement in regulating the nervous system and achieving optimal health and well-being. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond!Quotes: “You are the sum of the five nervous systems you spend the most time with.” – Mike Salemi“Our ability to lead ourselves, our families, and our communities is directly proportional to our ability to regulate our nervous system.” – Mike Salemi“The number one thing at the top of the totem pole is our psyche. That would be our mindset and our words. In any moment, you could make a bad decision and your life's over. That's the thing that governs everything.” – Mike Salemi“It is fascinating to me, especially in leading younger people, how we can use language to build their inner language by eliminating soft talk. Some of these guys actually respond better if the words said to them are almost accusatory in nature, but the words they need to say to themselves are not.” – Matt BeaudreauTakeaways: Assess your breathing efficiency through the controlled breath hold test and commit to daily practice of "breathing light" to improve nervous system regulation. Reflect on the people you surround yourself with and how their energy and mindset may be impacting your own well-being. Consider ways to cultivate a more supportive environment. Explore incorporating breath work, movement, and mindfulness practices into your morning routine to set the tone for the day and unlock greater focus, clarity, and resilience. Challenge yourself to foster vulnerability and open communication within your personal relationships and communities. Recognize the transformative power of witnessing and supporting others in their struggles. Introduce breathing exercises to your children as a tool for emotional management and building self-awareness. Engage them in the practice to strengthen your bond and set them up for long-term success.Conclusion:Focusing on simple yet powerful practices like mindful breathing, intentional movement, and openness to vulnerability can lead to meaningful growth. These habits strengthen not only physical and mental well-being but also enhance relationships and daily performance. By making them a priority, individuals can navigate challenges with greater clarity and adaptability. Small, consistent efforts in these areas create lasting improvements in both personal and professional life.

"Cold plunging for me - it's the energy. I just get in there for 2-3 minutes and my morning is accelerated. I'm clear and I'm concise. It's a fast-track in meditation.

The Plunge is safe for indoor or outdoor use and we've made installation truly plug-and-plunge. Fill your Plunge up with a hose, turn it on, set your temp (down to 39F) and you're all set. Plunge was born out of optimistic vision during a challenging time. In March 2020, COVID-19 shut down Michael's float spas and with his newly found free time, he looked at the cold plunges on the market and found them shockingly expensive. Enlisting the help of his dad, they were determined to create a more affordable option. After countless iterations and improvements, the Plunge was born. A friendship turned into a powerful partnership when Ryan Duey came on board. Michael and Ryan have a common passion for cold plunging, floating, and building win-win relationships. After building the first 20 Plunges out of Michael's garage, they have since opened a factory in Sacramento and are sending Plunges all over the world!   Listen To Episode 562 As Ryan Duey Uncovers: [1:00] Float Tanks, Plant Medicine & Ice Baths Ryan Duey Get $150 off your Plunge order with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Capitol Floats The changes Josh is going through as a new parent and how doing cold plunges have really been helping him.

The power of cultivating patience and resilience in our lives. Opportunities he was presented with early on in his entrepreneur journey and the obstacles he faced.   [15:30] How Wim Hof Inspired Ryan Why our drive to do something can sometimes come from an unhealthy place. MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies 210 Brad Burge The moment when things finally started happening and his business could finally launch. What lights him up the most about float tanks and ice baths. The fact that entrepreneurship has really been glamorized and there is a price to be paid if you follow that path. Why the best form of therapy for you will be one that is challenging because that experience will truly help you grow. 410 Mark Divine Wim Hof Why Ryan believes he was getting sick after sick for 6 months straight. How Wim Hof's breathwork method was added to Ryan's morning routine to help him combat getting constant colds for so long. Why the more we push and serve, the more we have to recalibrate ourselves to heal and be in integrity with ourselves. What areas of health Josh is focusing on the most while raising a newborn baby: sleep, CBD, cold plunge, sauna, magnesium, and breathwork. Dr. Andrew Weil How you can invest in your health and it costs less in 1 month compared to going out and drinking and partying over 1 weekend.   [24:00] The Benefits of Cold Plunges Exploring the benefits of cold plunge and how it can help your wellness journey. How ice baths can help your body get into a natural state like CBD but it will work differently for everyone. Why all you need is 2-3 minutes in a cold plunge as a fast track to starting your day. Josh's own cold plunge practice of 3 minutes at 39 F but some people like Ryan will do it at 46 F. Why Ryan believes a cold plunge is the best workout for your nervous system compared to a physical workout. What thoughts and emotions may bubble up during a cold plunge so you know what to expect. Why doing an ice bath can be so empowering as you go from a sympathetic state to being in control of the experience. The power of doing really hard things to combat how our modern world has made us soft physically and emotionally. Why weight loss, metabolism, and immunity are the biggest benefits for Josh with his cold plunge practice. Dr. Andrew Huberman The science behind what can happen for each unique person when they get their core body temperature down during a cold plunge. Why some people may only need 60 seconds to bring their core body temperature down. How to find out which cold plunge temperature will give you the results you want. Why shivering means your body's metabolism is improving.   [36:30] How Ice Baths Help Heal CV19 & Build Brown Fat Dr. Andrew Huberman Dr. Rhonda Patrick Breaking down what brown fat is and how it helps burn energy for you in cold environments. Benefits Ryan has seen with brown fat and who he suggests going to for more information. Dr. Rhonda Patrick on her cold plunge experience Scientific Evidence-Based Effects of Hydrotherapy on Various Systems of the Body How cold water therapy can be used to boost your immune system.

How the sensation of a cold plunge or a float tank brings out the magic in life such as rapid awareness and perception shifts. John C. Lilly: The pioneer of floating Floating in Quiet Darkness by Glenn Perry and Lee Perry How he was first introduced to floating and why he loves it so much. MAPS 2022 Global Diving into the need we have in the western world to quantify how something like floating and cold water therapy can help. The deep rabbit hole Josh went into in 2017 to quantify his health until he realized there was no need to record everything to prove his wellness practice worked. 310 Ariel Garten Paul Chek | All is God 376 Mike Salemi 252 Oura | Harpreet Rai How science has practically become a religion in our modern-day society. 416 Ben Stewart   [55:30] The Path of Least Resistance Why it was difficult for Ryan to take time off from cold plunging to work on other areas of his life. Ryan's personal health practices and why he sometimes struggles from time to time to want to do them. Why the path of least resistance isn't always the way especially when it comes to physical health. Exploring when resistance can be a healthy thing in our lives especially for a heart-based issue. The tipping point we might experience when the weight of not changing becomes so great that the weight of change is the path of least resistance. Unpacking the self-awareness game of being a human and how our soul protects us. What healthy resistance is and why it's okay to say 'no' to what you don't feel called to do something like psychedelics.   [1:00:30] Healing Depression with Ice Baths 386 Mark Groves Adapted cold shower as a potential treatment for depression How adapted cold therapy can be a treatment for depression and anxiety. Why the opposite of depression is expression and how cold therapy allows us to explore that. The small commitment you can make when you do cold therapy and the incredible ROI it will give you as it improves your mental health. Why you won't be able to heal your depression if you're just constantly fighting it; you have to heal with powerful habits of self-love. How depression can be a momentum game and if you set yourself up for small wins, those negative feelings will gradually go away. The power of a cold plunge to reset your mind and stop those racing thoughts that are bombarding your day. One of the biggest revelations he received during a float tank session that helped him with a difficult decision. Why a float tank is an opportunity for Ryan to reflect on life and a cold plunge removes what cluttering his mind.   [1:09:00] Different Mediums of Cold Therapy: Unleash Your Inner Peace & Creativity How Josh's breathwork.io program has helped people with their daily stress and turns down the default mode network that keeps us on high alert. breathwork.io  Michael Pollan How breathwork, floating, and cold plunging allow us to unleash our creativity, mindfulness and have a greater sense of peace. How Ryan's Cold Plunge product differs from other products and is so much easier to use. Why other mediums of cold therapy are not as sustainable as Plunge for consistent use but they're great if you're interested in trying it a couple of times. Ryan's experience being on Shark Tank to promote Plunge and when you can watch the episode. Why we're in so much more control of our health than we believe. How their payment plans are set up to help you pay a monthly fee rather than the full price at once. Ryan's hope for how your cold plunge experience will help your healing journey. His definition of wellness after all he's been through over the years as a wellpreneur.   Power Quotes From The Show   The Benefits of Ice Baths "From an inflammation standpoint, there are so many benefits of cold plunging after a workout. Also, it gives me so much energy, clears my mind, and makes me feel incredible." - Ryan Duey   The Best Workout for the Nervous System "A cold plunge is the best workout for the nervous system. We work out to tear our muscles down and they build back stronger. By getting in the plunge, you're getting outside of your comfort zone, the adrenaline is increasing, and your mind begins to stress but you have the opportunity to completely override and go from a sympathetic state of fight or flight into being in full control of your breath. By doing that cold plunge, you have literally changed your whole body system in 2-3 minutes. Think about what that could mean in everything we do in life; that you are actually in control."  - Ryan Duey   How Cold Plunging Helps Heal Depression "On a time front, cold plunging is such a short commitment and when you're in a very depressed state, big things seem so unfathomable. If you have this in your house or a river right near you or you take a cold shower, there's a moment where spending time in cold water gives you a window to make a positive shift moving forward. Just spend 2 minutes or even take 10 breaths to help you open up out of your depression and start making the actionable steps when you feel stuck." - Ryan Duey   Links From Today's Show  Get $150 off your Plunge order with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Capitol Floats Temple of the Way of Light MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies 210 Brad Burge 410 Mark Divine Wim Hof Dr. Andrew Weil Dr. Rhonda Patrick Dr. Andrew Huberman Dr. Rhonda Patrick on her cold plunge experience Scientific Evidence-Based Effects of Hydrotherapy on Various Systems of the Body The Kaufmann Protocol Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind John C.

He attended Cal Poly University where he spent a semester abroad in Barcelona. The experience was so impactful that after graduation, Ryan returned to Spain and spent the next two years living and working in Madrid. After Madrid, Ryan returned to the states and began working in the front office of the San Jose Earthquakes. Soon after, Ryan had what he calls his “greatest gift”: a head-on motorcycle accident in Thailand. This near death experience catapulted Ryan into a journey of self-inquiry, leading him to the jungles of the Amazon, the inside of a float tank, and a commitment to entrepreneurship in the Health and Wellness industry. While building Capitol Floats, Sacramento's Premier Float Center, Ryan traveled to Reboot Float Spa in the Bay Area with the hopes of meeting the owner, Mike Garrett. The two quickly became friends and business confidants. Now, six years later, Ryan and Mike are taking the next step together and have joined forces to create Plunge. Their mission is to make cold plunging as common as coffee. Ryan couldn't be more grateful and excited to be working alongside such an impressive human and building the team at Plunge.

In the fifth part of this series of eight "tweener" episodes about my PRP fertility program, you'll hear from Mike Salemi, a CHEK practitioner, former world-champion kettlebell lifter, and the creator of Kettlebell Lifestyle, one of the most effective ways I've found to stay in shape at home despite a busy household. Mike also recently became a father (welcome, Luca!), and he's a truly incredible man and human. 12% of couples in the U.S. report fertility challenges, and many of them just get shuttled off to IVF, which costs $12-15k, on average and out-of-pocket. Is there anything more that could have been done that perhaps the conventional OBGYN may have neglected? I would argue that there's quite a bit that can be done to improve fertility, on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. The PRP Fertility Program from Beloved Holistics is my solution to the ever-growing issue of fertility worldwide.

If you're looking at your week in your calendar and you're hustling from 7 AM to 7 PM, where does the rest can come outside of just the sleep?" - Mike Salemi   Down-Regulated State + Balance "Creating the space and the openness for the opportunity to create a down-regulated state, anything you can do practically speaking and taking an honest inventory of how much and where your energy is already going, you can help balance that and anything you do will be helpful. - Mike Salemi   How To Prevent Resentment "If I'm doing all this stuff for everybody else at the expense of certain things that are costing me pain or my own sense of freedom, at a certain point I'm either going to be resenting them or I'm going to start resenting myself." - Mike Salemi   Links From Today's Show  Mike Salemi The Path Podcast Laurie Rice-Salemi Justin Brien on The Path Podcast Paul Chek Men of Movement Retreat Johnny Blackburn David Deida 457 Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Ya'Acov Darling Khan Joe Dispenza What the Bleep Do We Know!?

I'm not talking about that fake alpha facade you may be familiar with on reality tv shows. I'm talking about the real alpha stuff. The alpha with substance. The one that doesn't have to be the loudest in the room because they know who they are. They know what they're capable of. And whether everyone else recognizes it consciously or not, the alpha is who is in charge when everyone else has no idea what to do. You don't get there by acting confident. You get there by being competent. Will you be the alpha in every situation? I hope not. That would mean you're not surrounding yourself with people who are better than you at what you want to get better at. The path to alpha is filled with humility. A true alpha can put down his need to be right and look good, in order to gain the competence. It's a long game. Can you look dumb now, so you can be in charge later? Most people have no interest in this. The path is too frightening and they'll continue to live a life of mediocrity. Join Mike Salemi and myself on today's show as we discuss leadership, hierarchy, violence and the functional purpose of being prepared.

Mike also shares his methodology with fasting, explaining that is more than a physical improvement: he gets a spiritual result as well. Tune in to listen to the conversation! Key Highlights Mike talks about the feedback he gets from the participants that attend his retreats; the sense of community and support helps a lot of them to overcome their inner limitations; Mike explains the importance of going through experiences – like his retreats – with intention and how you can break patterns and change habits afterward; The experience of fatherhood has already been transforming Mike's vision and expectations; Going through moments of discomfort is crucial to gain clarity and becoming stronger; Investing in yourself, according to Mike, is truly what makes the difference in terms of performance, mindset improvement, and how you show up in life; Mike talks about his experiences going through five days of fasting (once a year) and how this practice helps him physically and mentally.

When it comes to the idea of masculinity, much of the world is mistakenly confusing what true masculine energy is with the immature, boy centered version of this energy we commonly see running amok in todays world. This is, in a big part, due to us losing many of the wise elders & initiatory processes that have been used since the dawn of time to help boys evolve into men within society. This being said, there is now a big movement within the world of self development to fill in this missing gap & allow the true divinity of masculine nature to once again come forth. This version of masculinity is not afraid of the divine feminine, as the immature masculine is & instead recognizes that the balance between these two energies, which is often referred to as the concepts of yin & yang, is essential to a mature, balanced approach to being a true man. Todays guest on the show is a man who is spearheading this movement, both within his own development as a mature man through self development programs & practices & in the work he does with men, such as his work as lead coach for the Alpha Hippie program, which I went through & can speak to the incredible benefits of maturing as a man that the program is centered around.

This episode of Cycling in Alignment is a conversation with former WAKSC Long Cycle World Champion, Chek and ELDOA practitioner Mike Salemi. Mike has a very holistic perspective on training and he uses the concepts of the Six Foundational Principles as a key aspect of his teachings. During our discussion we speak about the influence Paul has had on our respective coaching trajectories, how our preparation for teaching has changed as our personal practice has developed, and our mutual quest to escape from the sagittal plane.  I am sure you enjoy this insightful dialogue with Mike.

Welcome back to Iron Sights! In this episode, I interviewed the founder and facilitator for a recent hunting experience I had in Austin Texas. If you enjoyed the stories and lessons shared from Episode #22 with Mike Salemi this conversation will be right up your alley. Mansal discusses his background, growing up with highly educated parents who supported him through early childhood mistakes which put him behind bars at just 20 years old. The time spent in Prison inspired Mansal to seek mentorship and follow his callings for sport, yoga, healing ceremonies and hunting. In 2021, Mansal facilitated countless hunting events, spending over 2,000 hours in nature leading Sacred Hunts. This podcast shares the experiences and life path that fueled his journey into becoming the leader he is today.Timestamps:00:00 Welcoming Mansal To Iron Sights00:38 How We Met Through The Sacred Hunt01:56 Mansal's Background04:17 Scott's Experience Sacred Hunting05:37 Why People Sign Up To Work With Masal08:18 The Reason Mansal Facilitates Transformations11:54 How Mansal Got Into Hunting14:50 A Calling For Sweat Lodges19:59 Ending Up In Prison31:00 The Mindset of Getting Through Prison35:11 The Transition After Leaving Prison39:11 Learning Through Hunting, Jiu-Jitsu, Yoga43:07 How Mansal Started Hunting46:37 Mansal's Journey From Passion to Profession49:51 The Emotions After Mansal's First Kill54:31 Learning To Respect Death Through Hunting59:03 What To Expect During A Sacred Hunt1:10:05 Scott Breaking Down His Experience1:11:18 Hunting As A Rights of Passage1:18:26 The Community of Sacred Hunting1:21:46 The Future of Sacred Hunting1:31:26 The Next Sacred Hunt in 2022

Ep 22: Mike Salemi is a world class performance and health coach who provides opportunities for men to improve on the physical, mental, and emotional components of building a strong foundation for standing your ground as a man. In this episode Mike & Scott unpack their recent trip to southern Texas and the Sacred Hunting experience and why they hunt. Both Mike & Scott describe their very personal and shared experience of what the trip unexpectedly provided and taught them. They discuss sharing both clear and meaningful intentions and the impact it has on outcomes, especially the unexpected ones. Mike talks about the value of solitude as it relates to making a connection to self and to others, entering into a “container of safety” where the men can be and feel judgment free, and the opportunity to both create for self-discovery and personal growth. Mike and Scott detail the reality of preparing for and getting the perfect shot and the parallels between hunting and life.
