Gary Engels teaches business owners and entrepreneurs the disciplined sequence of steps that lead to lasting success. His wisdom isn't drawn from an MBA program or corporate leadership seminars — it's forged from decades on the mats. “Sensei Gary” is a serial entrepreneur, app creator, and a 4th-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Gary's list of ventures and partnerships is long. Among them, he is the founder of Leadership Academy, a martial arts school dedicated to developing leadership skills in students of all ages, and the creator of the Legacy Missions app, which helps users build positive daily habits. He also serves as CEO of MyGig, which connects businesses with essential services in accounting, marketing, HR, IT, and financial optimization. Unlike many entrepreneurs who obsess over selling, Gary has built his career on service. His approach begins with a simple question: “How can I help?” Service builds trust, trust builds relationships, and relationships drive revenue. It's a principle that has kept his martial arts school thriving for 20 years — a milestone that very few such schools attain. So, join us this week in the “Monday Morning Radio Dojo.” Remove your shoes, step onto the mat, and begin mastering the “business katas” that will make you a fierce marketplace competitor. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Ray recounts his bizarre and slightly threatening run-in with “Sensei John,” a self-appointed personal trainer from his building's basement gym. From unsolicited spotting to unsolicited insults, the saga takes twists through weight loss smack talk, oddball training methods, and the strange business pitch to “motivate” clients with kidnapping threats. Plus, Lucie and Ray dive into the new viral wave of sorority dance videos, the return of the bimbo archetype, and how coordinated cowgirl backflips might save the world — or at least Gaza.
In this talk, we explore how disappointment, though often unwelcome, can be a profound teacher. By meeting life's letdowns with openness, we discover the tender ground of vulnerability that reveals our interconnectedness. The stories and reflections point to a shift from resisting what is to receiving it as part of the path. In the space where expectations dissolve, something truer and more spacious can quietly emerge.This talk was given on the Wednesday night program at HoW Zen Temple on July 23rd 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★
I asked the BIT Crew to nominate their favorite episodes for a special August replay while we are on hiatus. I selected one of Thea's picks because it went back to season one - when we were all baby holers. She says, "Googlie Wooglie I like a lot because of Sensei Ken, the fun game with cool words, and just love Geoff's Keanu Reeves impersonation, and Keanu Reeves as Abraham Lincoln." Episode Five has what I consider our best ending. We all break each other—even Billy Merritt. I dare you not to laugh. We'll be back on September 13th with a brand new hole! ~~ In rabbitHOLE's fifth episode, the BIT CREW educates listeners about some critical issues, including: Googlie Wooglie Mc Dojo Grammar Police Konrad takes a deep dive into the origins of the term GOOGOL (a one with a hundred zeroes). He starts the BIT CREW off on an improv adventure of surf lingo, organized crime involving unsuspecting UK co-eds, "re-imagining" history, and mispronouncing words. Episode five has our favorite ending so far…we all just lost it – we hope you laugh so much your sides will ache, and your heart goes pitter-pat.

This talk explores the koan “The Old Woman of Mount Wutai,” a story that opens up questions about pilgrimage, practice, and how wisdom often appears in ordinary forms.

Along the way, we meet Jizo Bodhisattva—the guardian of travelers—and consider what it means to go “straight ahead” even when the road curves. ★ Support this podcast ★
What we look for in life and what we look for in the Arts we follow can intersect in some crazy ways. For some it's a mountain to be conquered, or a mission to achieve so the next battle can be joined, for some it's a quiet pursuit of a craft very really mastered. For some it's the shinny and new, for others it's weathered timber. Different strokes for different Martial arts folks.

This episode explores metta, the practice of lovingkindness, as a way of meeting life with warmth and care. Through stories, teachings, and reflection, we look at how metta softens the grip of resentment, reconnects us with our shared humanity, and creates space for healing. Like sunlight, metta radiates outward—touching ourselves, those we love, and even those we find difficult. It's not about forcing a feeling, but about remembering our capacity to wish well.

Whether it's light through leaves, a piece of music, or the sound of wind chimes, beauty can cut through the trance of constant thought.

Beauty, in this sense, becomes a gateway to awareness and a form of real practice. This talk was given on July 2, 2025 at the Heart of Wisdom Temple Wednesday night program. ★ Support this podcast ★

A few more episodes without Will. He's dead or out of town or something.
In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about embracing uncertainty as a leader. What does it really mean to lead with humanity—especially in an age of AI, change fatigue, and constant uncertainty? My guest this week is Jim Bouchard, author, speaker, and founder of The Human Centric Leader. In this powerful conversation, Jim shares how his personal journey from addiction to leadership taught him what transformation really takes—and why the best leaders don't have all the answers.We explore what it means to lead through uncertainty, the importance of sharing power and time, and how AI may actually amplify our humanity rather than replace it—if we use it well. We also dig into why resistance is a powerful compass, and how impostor syndrome can get in the way of becoming the leader you were meant to be.About My GuestBy his own admission, Jim Bouchard should have been dead or in jail many times over. Martial arts helped him overcome a life of crippling self-doubt and self-destruction. In his programs, Jim shares his inspiring transformation from dropout and drug addict to Black Belt and Sensei -- and how that experience made him a genuine leader. He went on to open 5 martial arts schools, helping hundreds of people achieve their Black Belt rank, and thousands more discover their best selves.Today, Jim helps leaders around the world connect on a deeply human level to attract, engage, and lead people to their highest levels of performance and productivity.~Connect with Jim:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimbouchard/Website: https://www.thehumancentricleader.org/Join the Community: https://keep-it-human.mn.co/landing?space_id=17243140~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Using vivid metaphors like sending postcards to our future selves, he illustrates how our past actions echo into the present. He invites us to contemplate how these echoes shape our experience, while reminding us that each moment holds the possibility for fresh, liberating choices. This talk balances deep insight with practical reflections on compassion, equanimity, and freedom from old patterns. This talk was given during the Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple Wednesday night program on June 18, 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★
This is the third talk of the 2025 Metta Sesshin at GVZM. In this talk, jogen explores the boundless nature of the heart and its deep entanglement with mind, body, and world.

Are wellness retreats just luxury getaways, or can they transform your health? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I speak with Dr. Vishal Patel, who explains how most wellness gadgets might be causing more stress than health benefits. We explore the science behind Sensei's approach, including how thermal imaging can detect muscular imbalances before they cause pain, and why most saunas aren't hot enough to deliver benefits. Dr. Patel debunks popular wellness myths, shares why foot strength is the foundation of longevity, and explains why tracking obsession can be counterproductive. Dr. Vishal Patel is the Chief Scientific Officer at Sensei, a wellness retreat company co-founded by Larry Ellison and Dr. David Agus. With a background as a physician with a PhD in genetics, Dr. Patel combines Western medicine with Eastern practices like Ayurveda to create evidence-based wellness approaches that focus on personalization rather than rigid rules.

SUMMARY This conversation explores the journey of Sensei DJ Jeandell in martial arts, from his early influences and initial training experiences to his eventual role as an instructor and school leader. Sensei Jeandell shares personal stories of resilience, the impact of friendships, and the importance of community in martial arts. The discussion also touches on the significance of competition and how it has shaped his martial arts journey. Sensei Jeandell also highlights the significant influence of mentorship, the transition from competitor to promoter, and the importance of balancing technique with practicality. He emphasizes the philosophical aspects of martial arts, the benefits of cross-training, and his aspirations for the future, all while advocating for the transformative power of martial arts in personal growth and community building. TAKEAWAYS School programs can provide unique training opportunities. Teaching is a responsibility to pass on knowledge. Understanding the mind of a child is crucial in teaching. Competition can enhance personal development in martial arts. Finding purpose in teaching can lead to fulfillment. Competing in tournaments opened his eyes to new levels of skill. There's a difference between how techniques are judged in tournaments versus training. Understanding the 'why' behind techniques is crucial in martial arts. Cross-training enhances understanding and adaptability in martial arts. Martial arts is not just a sport; it's a way of life. Philosophy plays a significant role in martial arts training. Nothing grows inside of the comfort zone; growth requires stepping out.
