03.08.2025. 22:56 I have no ego now. It just flipped. I don't have a personality. I geniunely don't. And me chasing things just to feel like I do is what's making me suffer. So it's fine. I don't have a personality and I don't need one. It's absolutely fine.I lost a friend, who wasn't a friend, after I decided not to pay for her movie ticket, popcorn and drink, while I just ordered a popcorn. And I reminded myself, I'm okay. People can come and go. I'm ok. I will remain myself, and overthinking relationships that didn't work out is not the way I want to live my life. I want to live forward.Committing to:One hour of reading a day5-10 cold calls a day (during work days)2-3 Muay Thai classes a week2-3 hours a day of work on my business

In Episode 612 of The Knife Junkie Podcast, host Bob DeMarco welcomes Cache Haggard, founder of Revenant Corps, to discuss his innovative G10 knife designs for non-permissive environments. Cache brings a deep martial arts background spanning jiu-jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, and various knife arts including the prison-inspired Medusa Edge Weapon System and South African Piper techniques.Cache shares his journey from holster maker to G10 knife innovator, explaining how his flagship Grackle design and other tactical profiles prioritize function over flash. The conversation explores the unique advantages of G10 as a knife material - it doesn't set off metal detectors, won't rust, and remains lightweight while maintaining strength tested on pig carcasses.From traditional Tsukamaki wrapping techniques to innovative sheath designs using Boltaron and shock cord attachments, Revenant Corps represents a thoughtful approach to modern defensive tools.The discussion delves into the intersection of grappling and knife work, the challenges of building a niche business in the tactical market, and Cache's philosophy of creating weapons that can go where metal cannot. His designs include the cleverly disguised G10 awl that resembles a Sharpie marker, demonstrating the innovative thinking behind NPE (non-permissive environment) tools.Cache also shares his business journey, from facing constant rejection to building a full-time operation, and his plans to expand into steel while maintaining G10 as the core of his product line.Listen to the full episode at https://www.theknifejunkie.com/612, and learn more about Cache and Revenant Corps at https://revenantcorps.com, Instagram @revenantcorps, and Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/107753208416874.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

In this powerful episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with Ellie “Belly” Dempster to uncover her extraordinary story of grit, transformation, and redemption. Ellie opens up about her sheltered upbringing in Canada, where traditional expectations clashed with her restless spirit. She recounts how a leap to Australia at 18 led to years of addiction, living on the edge, and a moment of reckoning that propelled her to Thailand to teach and train in Muay Thai. From her first fight in a Bangkok ring to stepping onto the Power Slap stage with just weeks to prepare, Ellie shares the mindset that has carried her through injuries, self-doubt, and the weight of proving herself in male-dominated arenas. The conversation covers her work supporting orphanages, her viral ACL tear in competition, and the deep belief that no failure is final if you learn from it. With raw honesty and infectious determination, Ellie shows how every setback can become fuel for growth, and why she'll never stop stepping into the unknown.

Jeff Patterson has been practicing martial arts for 36 years. He has trained with masters from seven countries and has achieved a black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Patterson believes in the power of meditative arts to enhance life experiences. Why Meditation for Educational Leaders? Educational leaders are in high-stress, high-visibility positions. Meditation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout, enabling leaders to have longevity in their careers. Meditation is practiced by high-performing athletes in other fields, such as boxing and basketball, to improve performance. Jeff Patterson's "Five Regulations" of Meditation: Regulating the body: Paying attention to skeletal alignment, muscle tension, and movement. This includes maintaining muscle structure and flexibility, consuming healthy nutrients, and getting adequate sleep. Regulating the breath: There are hundreds of breathing strategies, which can be categorized as yin (deeper, inward energy) or yang (aggressive, outward energy). Yin breathing involves longer inhales and shorter exhales. Yang breathing may involve tension in the breath and audible exhales. Regulating the mind: Meditation does not require a quiet mind, as distractions are normal. Meditation involves recognizing distractions and using posture, breath, and movement to regain focus. Regulating the energy: Once the body, breath, and mind are regulated, one can learn to direct energy inward, outward, or circulate it to achieve different outcomes in meditation. Regulating the spirit: This is a profound concept toward which meditation masters work their entire lives. Benefits of Meditation: Increased focus and productivity Enhanced emotional regulation Improved communication skills and the ability to "yield" Physical yielding: Getting out of the way of a force to respond with less effort. Requires being well rooted, having a strong and flexible lower body, a relaxed body, calm breath, and a present mind. Mental yielding: Recognizing imbalances in a conversation and adjusting the conversation to lead it to a harmonious place. Emotional yielding: Stepping back from interpersonal conflicts to make a more educated decision. Integrating Meditation into a Busy Schedule: Ritual Practice: A dedicated time, such as 20 minutes per day, to meditate without distractions. Active Practices: Integrating practices throughout the day, even for as little as 60 seconds. Philosophical Practices: Integrating the philosophy of meditation into active and ritual practices. Jeff Patterson's Three Considerations for Starting a Meditation Practice: Motivation: Identify your motivation for wanting to meditate. Consider how your life will change if you accomplish your meditation goals. Consistency: Practice consistently to reap the benefits of meditation. Consistency develops discipline, integrity, and patience. Guidance: Find a guide to save time and improve your practice. Resources: Website: theyieldingwarrior.com Free Book: theyieldingwarrior.com/book Social Media: Search "The Yielding Warrior" on social media channels Call to Action: Consider how meditation could benefit you and commit to practicing it regularly.

Matthew is back today for more with Ben Case: profiling Gene Sharp and the (non)politics of strategic nonviolence, plus his strange funding sources. Also: why did Erica Chenoweth speak out against antifascist Trump protesters in January of 2017, and suggest their research proved that property damage and scuffles with the police would ruin any opposition movement to Trump? Also: where does the funding come from for all this bad research? Gene Sharp worked for the Department of Defense, and today, Bill Ackerman is a top funder of strategic nonviolence research.  Case is a retired professional Muaythai fighter, an organizer, educator, and writer. He is a researcher at the Center for Work and Democracy and a fellow at the Resistance Studies Initiative.  Show Notes Street Rebellion: Resistance Beyond Violence and Nonviolence | Case Why Civil Resistance Works | Columbia University Press  Why Not Riot?

You may have grown up with the term “nonviolence” shining like a pole star over every discussion of how we accomplish socio-political change. But what does it really mean? And who defines violence for that matter—beyond the police, the courts, and others in power? Today, the theory of non-violence has grown beyond its Gandhian, spiritual aspiration roots, while retaining an irrational faith and offering a distorted view of resistance history. It is now a think-tank-approved, purportedly evidence-based method that guarantees movement success.  That reasoning comes from the pioneering scholarship of the pacifist Gene Sharp in the 1960s, and his inheritors in strategic nonviolence discourse, Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan. They argue that Gandhi's sacred ideal of satyagraha also happens to be the only successful pathway to lasting change—and they have the data to prove it.  But do they? Nope. Matthew's guest today persuasively shows that the movements we think of as “nonviolent” never really are. Why don't we know this? Through a tangle of academic malpractice, spiritual bypassing, liberal wish fulfillment, and erasing anticolonial voices. Oh, and Gene Sharp also got a lot of funding from the Department of Defense. Benjamin S. Case is a retired professional Muaythai fighter, an organizer, educator, and writer. He is a researcher at the Center for Work and Democracy and a fellow at the Resistance Studies Initiative.  P.S.: During our conversation, Ben mentioned that there are antifascist fighting clubs out there. Here are a few to look into: Haymaker in Chicago. SKN Muay Thai in Pittsburgh, PA. Balagoon Boxing Club in Philly, PA.
