MSU is 3-0, but 17-point underdogs at USC to begin Big Ten play this week

Most people ease into challenges. A 5K. Maybe a 10K. I skipped all that and went straight for the hardest Spartan race in the world: 21K, thirty obstacles, seven thousand feet of elevation, and a whole lot of burpees if I failed. In this episode, I break down six months of training, the gear I tested, and what this race taught me about discipline, minimalism, and saying “yes” before fear talks you out of it.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Rylan Schadegg was a beloved member of both the OCR and hybrid racing communities!  Our paths had crossed numerous times during our coverage of obstacle course racing and he stood out as always being very kind and respectful.  We were devastated to hear the news of his passing and we wanted to do something for those that loved him. We first had him on the show in September 2022 after winning the Spartan North American Championship but we had the chance to meet him and having him on the show in person at both OCRWC and the Spartan Palmerton 3K Series race. He had words during our first interview with him that have been echoing in my head since I heard of his loss so we figured that we would reair that interview. Here are some of many other posts dedicated to him: OCRWC, Spartan Race, Hybrid Fitness Media, The OCR Report, DEKA, Hyrox, Jack Bauer, Dave Claxton, Jarrett Newby, Brett Milks, Jake, and Andre Bravo.

Send us a textThis was supposed to be a roast. A snarky hate-watch of the new Netflix Thunderbirds documentary. Instead? Aaron and Trent got ambushed by feelings. What started as a casual poo-poo sesh turned into a confession of admiration, aviation tears, and redemption arcs that hit harder than a Friday safety brief.We went from “tight flight suits and PR stunts” to "Astro gave up being an astronaut to save the team” — and dammit, we were in. From Primo's struggle bus to elite team dynamics, we broke down what it actually takes to perform under pressure when the whole Air Force is watching.Also in this ep: Marines choke-slamming passengers mid-flight, Memorial Day cringe patrols, fake Viking worship, Jesus-themed t-shirts, PTSD reality checks, and why “No More Drama, Ride a Llama” is now legally trademarked by Ones Ready. This one's unhinged, honest, and somehow… wholesome?

This episode explores the unseen battles that shape who we become. Through the story of a Spartan who trained relentlessly when no enemy was in sight, we uncover the value of preparing in silence, sharpening our skills when no one is watching, and building strength before the world demands it. True victory begins long before the battlefield, it starts in the invisible fights we choose to win every day.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact#liveinspired #yourworldwithin #motivation

It's late-night Off The Air with Sean Baligian, and the Week 2 College Football Reaction Show pulls no punches. With Michigan and Michigan State playing at the same time, Sean admits he only caught flashes of the Wolverines' loss to Oklahoma, leaving fans to weigh in on Bryce Underwood's struggles, questionable play-calling, and problems in the trenches. Meanwhile, Michigan State escaped Boston College, but Sean warns Spartan fans not to get too comfortable: Aiden Childs' downfield accuracy, the absence of a pass rush, and a leaky secondary all spell trouble as the season heats up.This episode blends analysis, fan reaction, and plenty of late-night energy, with side notes on Lions news (hello, Jamison Williams extension), food takes (Houston hot chicken, anyone?), and the bigger picture of where both programs stand. It's part therapy session, part celebration, and all college football.

So Mike, great to catch up with you.Mike Rowe:Thanks,Russ White:Russ. Great to be here. And Sage, good to have you on the show.Sage Kellerman:Yeah, thank you.Speaker 1 (00:17):Mike could just start, give us a little bit of your background and what first attracted you to MSU as a student back in the day?Speaker 2 (00:25):Interesting. I started out of high school. I went to western Michigan for a year. And I'm going to be honest, this wasn't crazy about that atmosphere or whatever was going on or wasn't going on there, but Michigan State, just basketball had just won the national championship with magic and the cheerleaders had just won their national championship and all this. And I was like, I had friends coming here, I'm thinking I'm going to move across the state, I'm going to transfer. I wasn't doing anything with my major, was kind of interested in the landscape architecture puts around with that for a little bit. But the main thing that attracted me was just the environment, the huge big 10 collegiate feel and the athleticism and football obviously. I tried out for cheer my first season here, contemplated walking onto the men's team, but the cheer team needed Tumblrs in that I could do.(01:16):So was fortunate enough to do that. And yeah, the rest was history with that. Did it for my entire career here. I think I was on the five year program here, but I cheered for four and in 84 we were second at the national championships, which was very cool. And obviously the thrill of it was traveling with the football and the basketball teams. We only cheered for two sports at that point and just traveling and the comradery of, I think there was 20 people on the team and it was so much fun. It kind of consumed me. I probably could have been a better student, I'm not going to lie. We didn't have academic resources like they do now, but did as well as I could, but just had a great time. My sister ended up transferring here from Central Michigan and we were partners for a couple of years, so that was kind of cool. My parents thought it was, yeah, and graduated with a bachelor of landscape architecture and was minoring in musical theater, but ended up buying a one way ticket to the west coast and jumped right into musical theater right away. SoSpeaker 1 (02:29):A little bit then of how the YMSU experience impacted you, prepare you for your professional life.Speaker 2 (02:36):Interesting. I think the performance aspect of it, because even though I was majoring in landscape architecture and I was still interested in it, didn't know what I was going to do with it at the time, but the cheer and the dance, I was actually taking dance courses on the side at Ace of Dance Studio across the street, across Grand River from campus and kind of got the bug for that. So when I moved up to the west coast, was very fortunate and got some shows right away basically because of my gymnastics, if they were musicals, my extracurricular activities at MSU are what prepared me for the rest of my life kind of thing. It wasn't really academia, but yeah, it just, one thing led to another and I was very fortunate to write a wave of show after show after show through networking choreographers, directors, people I had worked with before, didn't have to audition a lot, so that was gymnastics and tumbling was starting to become a big kind of revolution and the musical theater aspect and timing was everything. I was in the right place at the right time.Speaker 1 (03:42):Well, Sage Kellerman, tell us a little bit about what attracted you to MSU and a little bit of your background.Speaker 3 (03:49):My family has always been Spartan fans, so that was obviously something that I've always kind of wanted to go to Michigan State. I thought that I wasn't going to end up going to college because I did quit gymnastics my sophomore year of high school. And that's your big recruiting year. And so I lost a lot of time there. I was talking to Michigan State before and then I quit. So then obviously I wasn't talking to them anym...

In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Lindsay Davis, CEO of Spartan Invest, to explore the world of turn-key real estate. Lindsay shares her journey from college landlord to building one of the leading turn-key investment companies in the Southeast. Their discussion covers the advantages of passive investing, the realities of property management, and how Spartan's approach makes real estate accessible for investors nationwide. Lindsay began her investing journey as a college student in Alabama, renting rooms to reduce tuition costs. After a rocky start as a landlord and a stint in corporate America, she shifted to flipping houses before finding stability and scale in rental properties. This led her to co-found Spartan Invest, a full-service turn-key provider offering single-family homes in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. For investors hesitant about the headaches of being a landlord, Lindsay explains how Spartan handles property acquisition, renovation, tenant placement, and ongoing management. By focusing on durability, affordability, and transparency, Spartan delivers rental properties designed for long-term performance and reduced maintenance.

Staying lean isn't about overhauling your entire lifestyle overnight. it's about stacking small, sustainable habits that actually stick. In this episode, we dive into the everyday choices that make the biggest difference when it comes to feeling strong, energetic, and confident year-round. We start by talking about why highly satiating foods are your best friend (especially during those times when hunger seems dialed up) and how minimizing calorie-dense “extras” can keep you feeling satisfied without the crash. From there, we break down the power of a “something over nothing” mentality when it comes to resistance training because it's not about perfection, it's about consistency. You'll also hear why making physical activity a lifestyle is key. Omar shares how Spartan races with his family keep him motivated, I talk about my time riding horses, and we both agree that nothing beats a simple walk. We also unpack the sneaky calories that come from what we drink, why sleep is the real performance enhancer, and how patience and consistency are often the missing ingredients in most fitness journeys. Most importantly, we'll remind you not to obsess over the scale or occasional feelings of heaviness. Progress is much deeper than a number. And when it comes to food, just because it's free doesn't mean you have to eat it. The goal is to choose intentionally, not impulsively. If you've been searching for a realistic, non-extreme approach to staying lean, this episode will give you practical tools and a mindset shift that can last a lifetime. Time Stamps: (1:17) Omar's High and Low This Week(4:17) Ultramarathon Runner's Perspective(6:17) Fresh Spin On An Old Topic(7:08) Small Habits For Staying Lean(9:30) #1: Choose Highly Satiating Foods(13:27) #2: Resistance Train: Something Over Nothing Mentality(15:22) #3: Make Physical Activity A Lifestyle(17:45) #4: Don't Drink Our Calories(19:44) #5: Prioritize Sleep(20:28) #6: Practice Consistency and Patience(21:27) #7: Don't Obsess Over The Scale or Occasional Feelings of Heaviness(23:04) #8: Free Doesn't Mean You Need to Eat It---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Two distinct military systems, two worldviews, one decisive battlefield. The clash at Plataea in 479 BCE represents far more than a Greek victory over Persian invaders – it embodies the collision of fundamentally different approaches to warfare, each reflecting the society that created it.Following the naval defeat at Salamis, Persian King Xerxes withdrew with most of his forces, but left his trusted commander Mardonius with an elite army estimated at 70,000 men. This wasn't merely an occupation force but a carefully selected contingent designed to bring the Greek campaign to a decisive close. With its diverse troops drawn from across the vast Persian Empire, this army excelled in mobility, missile warfare, and cavalry tactics – elements that had fuelled Persian expansion across the ancient world.Standing against this imperial host was the Greek coalition, cantered around the hoplite phalanx – heavily armoured citizen-soldiers fighting in tight formation. Each man carried a large round shield (aspis), bronze helmet, chest plate, greaves, and long spear, creating a formation where survival depended on maintaining cohesion with one's neighbours. This military system directly reflected Greek civic values – interdependence, discipline, and collective action for the polis.The preliminary phases revealed the contrasting strengths of both approaches. Persian cavalry successfully harassed Greek positions, disrupting supply lines and forcing the hoplites into defensive postures ill-suited to their equipment and training. Yet when Mardonius mistook a Greek repositioning for retreat and ordered a full attack, the disciplined Spartan and Tegean hoplites demonstrated the phalanx's devastating effectiveness in close combat. Mardonius' death in the melee shattered Persian coordination, transforming their advance into a catastrophic rout.What makes Plataea fascinating isn't just the outcome but the complex interplay of factors that produced it. The Greek victory stemmed not from inherent military superiority but from effectively exploiting favourable terrain, maintaining psychological resilience, and capitalizing on the moment when conditions suited their strengths. The battle became a cultural touchstone that shaped Greek identity for generations – a moment when citizen-soldiers defending their homes prevailed against history's greatest empire.Curious about how ancient military innovations continue to influence modern strategy?

The battlefield at Mantinea in 418 BC witnessed one of the most consequential clashes of the Peloponnesian War, a moment when Sparta's reputation hung in the balance. Following years of diplomatic erosion and military hesitation, King Agis led a massive Spartan force north to confront a growing coalition threatening to unravel Sparta's entire alliance system.What unfolded on that plain near Tegea wasn't merely a battle of spears and shields, but a collision of political visions for Greece. Alcibiades' ambitious strategy of isolating Sparta through diplomatic maneuvering had gained dangerous momentum. Even Tegea, Sparta's original partner in founding the Peloponnesian League, was considering changing allegiance. For Sparta, defeat would mean watching their carefully constructed hegemony crumble; victory might restore the respect their recent failures had squandered.The battle itself reveals fascinating insights into ancient warfare and leadership. As the armies advanced toward each other—Spartans moving deliberately to flute music, Argives charging with fury—King Agis attempted a complex battlefield maneuver that nearly spelled disaster. The gap that opened in the Spartan line was exploited by elite Argive troops, while some Spartan commanders refused to execute orders they deemed too risky. This moment of crisis tested not just Spartan discipline but the very nature of battlefield command.Ultimately, Sparta's victory transformed the political landscape. Argos was forced back into the Peloponnesian League, with Spartan garrisons installed and democratic institutions replaced by oligarchy. Athens saw its strategic opportunities in the Peloponnese vanish. Yet despite its immediate significance, Mantinea didn't fundamentally alter the war's trajectory—the stalemate between Athenian naval power and Spartan land dominance persisted for another decade. What the battle truly represents is Sparta's remarkable capacity to recover from adversity when its traditions and position were most threatened. Listen as we explore this pivotal moment when the fate of Greece hung in the balance. Support the show

In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together three powerful stories from athletes, leaders, and entrepreneurs who prove that your burn doesn't stop when the game ends—it only grows stronger.First, we kick things off with Bill Burke, former Michigan State quarterback and Spartan alum. Bill shares how football became his identity, the highs and lows of playing under pressure, and the emotional challenges that come when the lights go out. He also reflects on powerful leadership lessons from Coach Nick Saban—moments that shaped his view of discipline, self-respect, and mental toughness. This is a raw, real conversation on rediscovering purpose beyond the field.Next, we hear from Bryce Henson, CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp. Bryce opens up about a tough childhood, the adversity that could have broken him, and how fitness became his lifeline. From surviving to thriving, Bryce now leads one of the top fitness franchises in the country. He shares his secrets to leadership, the power of intentional focus, and why discipline is the gateway to your breakthrough.Finally, we wrap with Mark Pancratz, former elite D1 player, coach, and Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. Mark brings the heat as he explains how he took the same drive that made him successful in basketball and applied it to family, business, and life. Now a top-performing financial advisor, Mark is proof that the competitive spirit—when guided by discipline—can build success far beyond the game.This episode is for anyone who's ever had to pivot, rebuild, or reignite their burn. It's about identity, resilience, and carrying the lessons of competition into every arena of life.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gVpZBaVMVg0

Should Christians serve in the military? In this sobering and nuanced episode, Dru Johnson sits down with retired Colonel Darren Duke—Marine Corps Special Operations commander and intelligence officer—to unpack this deeply personal and morally complex question. Drawing from over 30 years of military experience, Duke shares his evolving view of military service, from Cold War patriotism to the hard-earned disillusionment of post-9/11 combat. He offers insight into how symbols like the Punisher, Spartan helmets, and Valhalla became coping mechanisms for troops struggling with the trauma and moral ambiguity of prolonged warfare. Duke also warns young Christians to prepare not only for the battlefield but for the morally challenging culture within the military itself. This conversation does not prescribe easy answers but outlines how one might think Christianly about enlistment, national service, and the weight of violence in a fallen world. Listeners will walk away better equipped to consider military service with sober realism, moral clarity, and theological depth. We are listener supported.
