Most people in pest control don't start their story in county jail — but Michael Keith did. The Blue Collar Twins, Jason and Jeremy Julio, sit down with the founder of Cal Coast Pest Management to hear how he went from a violent upbringing in South San Diego to building one of the most respected pest companies in the region. After doing time at 18 and cutting ties with his past, Michael bounced through jobs until a community college class introduced him to pest control — and the structure he'd been missing. From Joshua's to Clark to hands-on mentorship, he built the skills that ultimately launched Cal Coast. Today, Cal Coast serves 900+ customers, employs eight team members, and holds a seven-year government contract. Michael shares how Muay Thai, emotional-intelligence training, and Stoic philosophy shape his leadership — and how strong culture and word-of-mouth drive 73% of his growth.

In this episode, I sit down with Shaylin Fuller, a Muay Thai fighter and Risely 2025 coaching graduate, to talk about what it's really like when the thing you love most starts to feel dangerous because of type 1 diabetes. After experiencing a terrifying low during training, exercise stopped feeling empowering and started feeling like a constant risk she had to manage. We talk about how that fear followed her far beyond the gym and quietly began running her life. Shaylin opens up about the moment she realized she couldn't keep choosing between her sport and her health — and how coaching helped her rebuild trust in her body. You'll hear what it took to move from 47% to 88% time in range, and why real change happened slowly, imperfectly, and in the “messy middle.” This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about control — it's about reclaiming your confidence, your freedom, and your rise.

Ever have that frustrating feeling where the technique you JUST drilled disappears the second you start sparring?It's one of the biggest challenges in Muay Thai. We're all taught to train hard, but we rarely talk about how to train smart.The truth is, elite performance is just as much a psychological skill as it is a physical one. If your skills aren't transferring from pads to sparring, it's not because you aren't training hard enough. It's because you might be training in a way that your brain can't process and retain.In this episode, let's get into the science of learning and skill acquisition. We explore how your brain learns complex movements and provide practical tools to make your training more efficient, effective, and permanent.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to avoid "Cognitive Overload" so you can actually absorb what your coach is teaching.The #1 Practice MistakeSkill Acquisition vs. Skill TestingThe Science Behind Writing & Record KeepingMental Toughness ToolsThe Undeniable Foundation to EverythingRESOURCES & LINKS:The 2026 Muay Thai Training Journal: Get the guided system I use to track my training, reflect on lessons, and build my "honest record."

Send us a textThe road from an Okinawan family dojo to the rocky spine of the Northeast isn't as long as it looks. Meet trail runner and former Muay Thai athlete Niko Teller, a blue-collar UPS driver who turns daily mileage, discipline, and gritty terrain into real speed. We dig into how martial arts forged his mindset, why hips are the hidden engine for climbing and descending, and how he built technical downhill confidence on the Appalachian Trail, in the Catskills, and across the White Mountains.We break down the Northeast short-trail scene—from Chocorua to the Baldface Scramble—and why these 20 to 30K courses deliver as much vert and skill demand as some ultras. Nico explains how he trains when the “mountains” are 400 feet high, stacking hill repeats, AT long runs, and gravel bike cross-training to stay durable. Then we go deep on his JFK 50 game plan: smooth execution on the AT, a mid-race shoe swap into road foam, and a 6:30–6:40 towpath pace target backed by a simple fueling strategy of 90 grams of carbs per hour with Neversecond gels and mostly water in cool temps.We also unpack the hard lessons from Run Rabbit Run 100 in Steamboat—cold, hail, and a cranky Achilles—and how finishing on a tough day built more confidence than any PR. Niko shares why jiu-jitsu keeps him humble, how coaching with Fastquatch helps working athletes find balance, and what's next: Black Canyon 100K speed, a Cocodona waitlist gamble, and winter goals on the track with a sharper mile and 5K.If you love Northeast trail running, JFK 50 strategy, technical downhill tips, or blue-collar training that actually fits a busy life, this conversation will feel like a map you can use tomorrow.

In this episode, Eliot Marshall and Easton Muay Thai Program Director Sean Madden break down how Easton evolved from a fighter-run striking program into a scalable, system-driven curriculum that now serves thousands of students.

In this episode of Off the Mats Podcast, Coach Brandon “Thor” Davis returns to reflect on training at Ivey League MMA, his current work at Crazy 88, and how his approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai has evolved. We talk about the role of specialists in modern MMA and how coaching and teaching influence personal growth on and off the mats. The conversation shifts briefly to football and NFL officiating, and how decision-making and rule enforcement relate to combat sports. Thor and I discuss what makes someone a reliable teammate, why proper drilling matters, and which techniques we prefer, or try to avoid during training. We also look at the challenges that shape long-term progress before closing the episode with a round of rapid-fire questions.

What happens when you go all in and bet on yourself?Taylor McClatchie, professional Muay Thai fighter with ONE Championship, joins the show to share how she did just that.She spent a decade in reproductive science, working in a lab. Then she walked away from it all to turn her pastime into her profession. Went 20-0 as an amateur. Made her pro debut at Madison Square Garden with a head kick knockout. Has competed 65 times—exceptionally rare for a North American woman in combat sports.This episode isn't about technology. It's about what happens when you stop following the prescribed steps and start building a life around what actually matters to you.Taylor didn't fall in love with winning. She fell in love with the process. With adding one more piece to training camp—sprints, nutrition coaching, strength work—and never taking them away. With waking up and doing it again.She talks about needing three types of sparring partners: people worse than you to test new skills, people at your level to compete with, and people better than you just to survive the round. "I never want to be the best person in the room because what am I getting from beating up on the new kids?"The parallel to our industry is unavoidable. You can't grow if you're always punching down. You need to be uncomfortable. You need rounds where you're just trying to survive.We spend a lot of time on this show questioning whether technology actually serves human interests. Sometimes the best lessons come from outside our world entirely—from someone willing to abandon the expected path to pursue something real.

While most young people descend into debt to prepare for jobs already threatened by the rise of AI, 19-year-old Maxim has spent what would have been his college years becoming an EMT, wrangling horses in Wyoming, sailing the Falkland Islands, earning a pilot's license, learning Muay Thai in Thailand, and more as the first beta tester for “The Preparation,” an adventure designed to make young men “confident, competent, and dangerous.” In a culture that drives young men away from masculinity and toward unlimited pornography and video games, our sons can still become “Renaissance men” by bucking the system of radical leftist-dominated academia and instead becoming financially savvy men of virtue and real-world skill.   Order a copy of “The Preparation: How to Become Confident, Competent, and Dangerous” here: https://www.amazon.com/Preparation-Become-Competent-Confident-Dangerous/dp/B0FLRKYCCP   GLENN'S SPONSORS:   Relief Factor: If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better.
