This episode of the Slight Shift Show is a deep dive into how internal shifts create the fiber of a successful life and business. What we call multidimensional success. Angela puts Chris back on the "hot seat" and discusses a number of topics that help shape the philosophy of how powerful 1% shifts can be in our lives. Chris shares his perspective on how those slight shifts can create massive impact on leadership, business and life. Chris also explores the profound impact of Grandmaster Kim, the man who shifted his view of Taekwondo from a purely physical discipline to a path of mental and spiritual evolution. The core of the Be Better Every Day mindset. Key Discussion Points Advice to a Younger Self: The value of listening to the generation before you and the necessity of early financial discipline to weather life's inevitable rollercoasters. The Legend of Grandmaster Kim: An introduction to a founding father of American Taekwondo, his humble beginnings as a national champion in Korea, and his transition to a spiritual mentor. Physical vs. Spiritual Mastery: A look at how Taekwondo evolved from a focus on "how hard you can kick" to a balanced integration of mindset and internal development. The Il Il Shin Philosophy: A breakdown of the "Be Better Every Day" mantra of renewing oneself daily through small, incremental 1% shifts. The Difference Between Customers and Students: A powerful reflection on what it means to truly follow a path and mentor others in a philosophy rather than just a skill. From "I Will" to "I Am": A final shift in mindset focusing on taking immediate ownership of your identity and actions in the present moment.

Chris opens up about his 40-year journey in Taekwondo, revealing how a volatile and traumatic childhood led him to seek protection, discipline, and ultimately, a lifelong identity. From overcoming devastating injuries to evolving his philosophy on leadership, Chris shares how the "slight shifts" in his mindset helped him transition from a young student to a Grandmaster in Taekwondo and a serial entrepreneur. Key Advice & Takeaways Seek Knowledge, Not Status: True mastery isn't about the title or rank. It's about the depth of your understanding. Shift your focus from gaining power to increasing your expertise. Earn the Right to Lead: Avoid "imposter syndrome" by outworking your own expectations. Leadership is earned by being an example and practicing what you preach every day. Humility Increases with Rank: The higher you go in any field, the more humble you should become. A great leader is never "above" any task, including the smallest chores. Train for Longevity: Respect your body's limits. Shift from training for the "moment" to training for lifelong health and mobility. Prepare Your Mind: Opportunities often fall into your lap when you are mentally prepared to receive them.

Episode 442 | The First 10 Minutes (How Martial Arts Schools Win or Lose New Families) Podcast Description In this episode of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo break down a growth lever that most school owners underestimate: the intro experience. A lot of schools assume they have a marketing problem. However, Duane and Allie argue that in many cases it's not marketing — it's what happens after someone clicks, fills out a form, and schedules their first class. Because you only get one shot to make a first impression, and families are deciding fast whether they trust you. They frame the “first 10 minutes” as a three-phase process: The digital first impression (what families experience online) The pre-visit first impression (texts/emails/calls before they arrive) The in-studio first impression (the first few minutes inside your school) Key Takeaways Simple doesn't mean easy. One small mistake early can create big problems downstream. Your first impression usually happens online. Your website, form, confirmation texts, and follow-ups are part of the intro experience. Congruency matters. Your words, photos, colors, and vibe should match what families will experience in your school. Don't cast a “wide net” with fake promises. Listing styles you don't teach (just to catch traffic) makes people click off fast. Pre-visit communication reduces anxiety. Clear directions, parking info, and “here's what to expect” messaging prevents confusion and no-shows. The in-person greeting is make-or-break. Allie shares how she's walked into schools and sat for 15–20 minutes without being greeted — and how one school owner impressed her by greeting immediately and professionally. The goal isn't to “sell” them on day one. The goal is to help families feel known, safe, and confident they chose the right place. Use names to create connection. Duane shares the “three times rule” — use the parent/child's name multiple times to build familiarity. A tour should be an experience, not a checklist. Tie everything you show to a benefit the family cares about. Guidelines beat rigid scripts. Scripts can make staff robotic; guidelines create consistency while letting people sound natural. Questions at enrollment are feedback. If families still have basic questions at the close, it's a sign you need to address those earlier in the process. Action Steps for School Owners Audit your intro experience in three phases. Digital (website, ads, Google listing, forms) Pre-visit (texts, emails, calls, reminders) In-studio (greeting, tour, first class, next steps) Make your online presence congruent.Ensure your photos, language, colors, and promises match what you actually deliver. Stop trying to be everything to everyone.If you're a Taekwondo school, be a Taekwondo school — don't list Kenpo, Kung Fu, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, etc. if you don't teach them. Build a pre-visit “confidence package.”Reduce friction before they arrive: Where to park Where to enter What to wear What will happen when they arrive Train your team to greet fast and warmly.Don't let families stand at the counter feeling invisible. A quick “Hey, I see you — I'll be right with you” changes everything. Turn your dojo tour into a story.Don't just point at things. Connect each part of the tour to benefits: Safety (mats, layout) Community (lobby culture) Trust (standards, structure, professionalism) Use guidelines, not robotic scripts.Give staff a step-by-step structure, but allow them to speak naturally and adapt to the family. Systematize the process with ownership.Decide who owns each part: Who responds to leads Who greets Who tours Who teaches the first class Who closes Roleplay and pressure-test your process.Practice curveballs (price shock, shy kids, skeptical parents) so staff stays confident. Use enrollment questions as “upstream” feedback.If families keep asking the same questions at the close, add those answers earlier (videos, texts, emails, handouts). Additional Resources Mentioned Three-phase intro experience: digital → pre-visit → in-studio Congruency principle: your online presence should match your real school experience The “three times rule” (use names to build connection) Guidelines vs. scripts for staff consistency Mystery shopper idea to test your intro experience Book reference: Upstream (prevent problems before they happen)

You probably know him from his funny videos in ballet class, but now we're gonna get to know the real Matthew Bejarano, or "Matica," as his amazing and hilarious teacher refers to him. Matthew started out training in Taekwondo as a child, but it was next to his sisters' dance studio, where he often watched them do ballet before their parents came to pick them up. He did this for years before he realized that he wanted to do ballet himself and was more interested in practicing turns at home than martial arts. It was hard at first to make the switch because he often felt like an outsider being a guy in ballet class, especially in Texas. But once he got past that mental block, he was training and stretching everyday, doing summer intensives, and eventually got his first dance job at 17. That's when he realized he wanted to dance professionally for the rest of his life. After a small stint at college where he got burned out pursuing double majors, he left to focus on work and saving money to move to LA. However, his first year in LA was not what he expected. He couldn't believe how hard it was to even get an "easy job." And debt, injury, and a toxic relationship had him losing hope. Catch the full episode to learn how Matthew's life turned around with jobs, dance opportunities, social media following, and a new desire for college and learning.

EPISODE SUMMARY What if the biggest thing holding you back from scaling your business isn't strategy — but your subconscious? In this episode of the Wired For Success podcast, Claudia Garbutt sits down with Stuart Wade, High Performance Mindset Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and four-time World Champion martial artist, to explore the hidden psychological and nervous system patterns that keep ambitious entrepreneurs stuck in pressure, self-doubt, and high-functioning burnout. Stuart shares how subconscious programming shapes performance, why high-achievers often sabotage their next level right as success gets close, and what it really takes to build a million-dollar business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or happiness.   We talked about... Fear-driven ambition vs. aspirational drive (and how to shift) Healthy obsession vs. self-destructive pressure: how to spot it early What happens in the brain + nervous system during clinical hypnotherapy Stuart Wade is a High Performance Mindset Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and lifelong martial artist with a bold vision—to elevate human potential at the highest levels in order to create lasting, global change.   EPISODE NOTES From a shy six-year-old boy inspired by Bruce Lee to a 5th Dan Blackbelt in Taekwondo, 2nd Dan in Kickboxing, and four-time World Champion, Stuart's journey has been anything but ordinary. At just eight, he failed his first Blackbelt test. That failure became a defining moment—igniting a relentless drive for mastery that would shape the rest of his life. His early discovery of visualisation at 16 years of age, transformed his performance and sparked a lifelong obsession with the power of the subconscious mind. But it wasn't until he encountered clinical hypnotherapy during a low point in his competitive career—when fear and fatigue were eroding his edge—that everything changed. That single breakthrough led to advanced studies with Paul McKenna and Dr. Richard Bandler, and over a decade of work helping elite performers break mental barriers and transform from the inside out. Today, Stuart works with business leaders, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives and world-class athletes- high-achieving men who, despite their external success, often battle self-doubt, inner pressure, and a persistent sense that something is still missing. Stuart believes real change starts at the top. By working with leaders who influence thousands—if not millions—he aims to raise the collective consciousness and inspire a top-down evolution: one where innovation, unity, and compassion drive us toward a future free from poverty, inequality, and division. A future where human potential is fully realized - not just for personal gain, but for the betterment of the world. His mission is clear: to help those at the top unlock their fullest potential—so they can lead with clarity, live with purpose, and create impact that truly matters.   Links: www.stuartwademedia.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-wade-the-mind-coach/ https://www.facebook.com/stuart.p.wade https://www.instagram.com/themindcoachuk/   --------- Click this link to listen on your favorite podcast player and if you enjoy the show, please leave a rating & review: https://linktr.ee/wiredforsuccess ------------------ Music credit: Vittoro by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue) ----------------- Disclaimer: Podcast Episodes might contain sponsored content.

SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams speaks with John Borter about his journey in martial arts, starting from his late entry into Taekwondo to his current focus on Irish stick fighting. They discuss the challenges of transitioning from student to instructor, the differences between various martial arts styles, and the cultural aspects that influence Irish stick fighting. Borter shares insights from his experiences, including teaching at Wally J's 90th birthday celebration and the unique principles that differentiate Filipino martial arts from Irish stick fighting. In this conversation, John Borter discusses the rich history and cultural significance of Irish stick fighting, tracing its roots back to centuries of occupation and oppression in Ireland. He explains how the British penal laws impacted the Irish population and led to the development of stick fighting as a means of self-defense and community expression. Borter highlights the Shillelagh as a traditional weapon and its evolution over time. He also emphasizes the role of social media in reviving interest in Irish stick fighting and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the Doyle system for future generations.     TAKEAWAYS John Borter started martial arts at 28 due to work schedule. Borter gravitated towards Hapkido for its joint locking techniques. He trained with Professor Wally J in Small Circle Jiu Jitsu. Borter transitioned to Irish stick fighting after closing his school. The transition from student to instructor was natural for him. Borter emphasizes the differences between Filipino and Irish stick fighting. He believes that each martial art has unique principles and techniques. Cultural aspects play a significant role in Irish stick fighting. Irish history is marked by centuries of occupation and cultural suppression. The British penal laws severely restricted the rights of Irish Catholics. Irish stick fighting evolved as a response to oppression and cultural loss. Faction fights were a form of social expression and community bonding. The Shillelagh is a traditional Irish weapon made primarily from blackthorn. Blackthorn is favored for its durability and historical significance in stick fighting. Social media has played a crucial role in reviving interest in Irish stick fighting. Maintaining the integrity of the Doyle system is essential for its legacy. Future growth of Irish stick fighting is expected while preserving its core traditions.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out!

My guest today is a lifelong martial artist whose journey into self-defense began not with trophies or titles, but with necessity, responsibility, and a deep desire to protect others. Born in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1987, Addison Plaisance is a true child of the '90s—raised on Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, and the belief that real strength comes from discipline, purpose, and service. His childhood was far from easy. Growing up with an abusive older brother, Addison learned early how to de-escalate danger, remain calm under pressure, and shield the people he cared about. Those formative experiences shaped his view of martial arts—not as a tool for dominance, but as a path toward peace and responsibility. At just 13 years old, Addison began training at Silver Dragon TaeKwonDo Academy in Morgan City, Louisiana under Master Raymond Rutledge and Master Brian Rutledge. There, he learned far more than techniques. Master Ray instilled resilience, humility, and the importance of keeping one's guard up—physically and spiritually. By age 18, Addison earned his 1st-degree black belt before heading to Louisiana State University, where he continued training, led the LSU TaeKwonDo club, competed in national qualifiers, and expanded his knowledge through Judo. Along the way, he earned a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences and a Master's in Plant Pathology. His career eventually brought him to Fargo, where he managed greenhouses for NDSU and unexpectedly stepped into one of his most meaningful roles—becoming a devoted single father. Years later, while simply driving around in search of an arcade, fate intervened. Addison and his daughter discovered Red River Traditional TaeKwonDo, and just like that, he found himself back where he belonged—training, assisting, and giving back to the martial arts community. Today, Addison teaches a dedicated Friday sparring class, not for money or recognition, but because he believes service is the highest calling. As he reminds his students—and himself—the “Do” in TaeKwonDo is the Way: the way we live, the way we serve, and the way we strive to become better human beings.

In Part 1 of our conversation with martial artist and empowerment self-defense instructor Elicia Ybarra, we trace how a childhood love of ninja turtles and karate turned into a 30-year journey through grooming, coercive control, and abuse in multiple martial arts settings, and how she eventually turned all of it into a curriculum to help other women fight back before it ever gets physical.Elicia described being groomed by a trusted instructor from ages 13–16, losing her community when she tried to set boundaries, getting pulled into a second “family” TaeKwonDo organization where a grandmaster weaponized rank, money, and humiliation, and how those patterns set her up for an extremely violent relationship she barely escaped. She walked us through the turning points: postpartum depression, COVID, therapy, watching cult docs (shoutout, The Vow), quitting smoking, and finally building “Pretty Hands, Hard Punches” and an empowerment self-defense model that starts with boundaries, intuition, and situational awareness—not just throat punches and palm strikes.Be sure to follow Elicia on her website, prettyhandshardpunches.com, or on Facebook or Instagram @prettyhandshardpunches.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of sexual abuse, statutory rape, workplace sexism and harassment, intimate partner violence, and suicide.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

SUMMARY In this conversation, Matt Sheridan shares his journey through martial arts, starting from his childhood influences like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Shaolin monks, to his experiences in Taekwondo and Karate. He discusses the challenges he faced, including financial constraints and personal struggles, as well as his commitment to maintaining integrity and high standards in martial arts training. The conversation also touches on the importance of myth-busting within the martial arts community and the evolution of his training philosophy over the years.   He also shares his experiences and insights regarding the politics of martial arts ranks, the myths surrounding belt systems, and the cultural nuances of titles. He discusses the evolution of martial arts uniforms, the impact of cognitive dissonance within the community, and the importance of motivation in training. Matt emphasizes the need for integrity and personal connection in martial arts, while also advocating for a reimagined rank system that prioritizes personal growth over titles. Matt and Jeremy Lesniak also delve into the complexities of rank and titles in martial arts, discussing the impact of ego, the importance of accountability, and the need for continuous training and learning. They explore innovative approaches to martial arts belts and emphasize the significance of intent and humility in practices. The dialogue culminates in a call for high standards and good choices within the martial arts community, highlighting the balance between training and discussion.   TAKEAWAYS Matt's early influences in martial arts were shaped by pop culture. He emphasizes the importance of integrity in martial arts training. Matt believes in maintaining high standards for rank and training. He has a strong interest in the history and lineage of martial arts. He actively engages in myth-busting within the martial arts community. Matt's journey reflects a deep passion for martial arts and personal growth. The black belt was introduced before the white belt. Cognitive dissonance leads to backlash in the martial arts community. Titles and ranks can negatively impact identity and respect. Motivation should come from personal connection, not just belts. The original belt system was much simpler than today's. Cultural nuances in titles are often misunderstood in the West. The rank system in karate maxed out at fifth dan before 1945. Ego in martial arts can be mitigated by removing unnecessary ranks and titles. Training should be prioritized over rank and titles. Instructors must continue their own training to effectively teach students. Discussion outside the dojo is essential for cultural growth in martial arts. Intent behind actions in martial arts practices is vital for humility. The best martial artists are those who remain students at heart. High standards and good choices should guide the martial arts community.   This episode is sponsored by Kataaro.
