We’ll Take it From Here with Joe

We welcome back Pat Meyer to the show, who is accompanied by his mom, Lisa. The Pure MMA family already knows Pat; however, for those of you who may not know him, or heard his story, go back to episode 73 to get an understanding. As a child, Pat suffered from daily seizures (upwards of 40). These episodes started to creep back after over 20 years. Fortunately, they are now under control. In this e...

This week we answered three random questions to make for a fun conversation. The meat and potatoes of this episode revolve around providing our opinions on unspoken rules that everyone should follow and people/things we believe to be overrated. The last topic will cause some controversy, so be sure to tune in. Let us know your opinions too. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week, I record a solo episode while Timmy enjoys his trip in Italy. This episode was inspired by a video I saw about the Tibetan Book of the Dead's outlook on what happens after death. This really challenges the traditional idea of the afterlife, which is probably why I thought it was intriguing. I do not know how true it is and am not advocating for its legitimacy, rather I think it's a neat...

This week we welcomed Justin Hyde to the show. Justin is a good friend from work, who is full of life, which is why I invited him on. We had to cut this show a bit short due to time constraints but we already planned a part two. In this episode, Justin talks about his love for boats, how wrestling helped shape him into the man he is, and some fun stories about senior -year partying during Covid. J...

Another duo episode. This week we touch on being wary of who you follow online. A lot of these business gurus, despite having successful companies, can sometimes be scam artists of sorts. We are NOT saying that success always = scam. Instead, some people will use movements to pray upon their clients/workers. We give our opinions on why we believe some people do this. Enjoy.

Timmy and I discuss the importance of flipping negative thoughts and breaking free from the old story that is holding you back. It all starts in the mind; so, take control of the mind and watch "miracles" happen. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week we sit down with Timmy's sister-in-law, Yara. Yara is a kind soul, who possesses the gift of comfort. At a young age, Yara knew she wanted to be an end-of-life doula, to help people prepare for death. Yara pursued a career as a hospice nurse, which then lead to her going beyond her normal duties to make a connection with her patients. Yara shares fascinating stories of how she helped cli...

In this episode, Timmy and I talk about the JFK files, the new findings of what is in the Giza Pyramids, the Earth, and Timmy's Jeep scenario! Fun talks. Let us know what you think! Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠

This week we present the Gary Numan special.... just kidding, but not really. We talk about cars. We give our opinions on our favorite cars, the best performing cars, the country that makes the best cars, and more. Also, Timmy goes on a rant about a particular car he does NOT like. Tune in to find out which one. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honests...

This week we welcome Joe's friend, Marc Cruz to the show. The conversation starts off learning about Marc's hobbies, and then naturally progresses how Marc became the man he is today. We learn how Marc used a break-up to his advantage to better himself physically and mentally, while learning how to hold himself accountable. Marc's message is powerful yet simple; the sun came up today, do you best...

As the title states, not all laws are created equally, and thus we asked you to provide some laws you thought are inefficient and should be repealed. We had fun giving our opinions on said laws. Let us know if you agree, disagree, or just give your opinion on the matter. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠

This week we welcome back Phil McEntee. Phil does not need an introduction to the show since this is his fourth rodeo. As the title insinuates, we have a philosophical conversation, which stems from a personal event in Phil's life. Phil's willingness to open up allows for raw and authentic dialogue, which we hope will help at least one of you; if not, it was a great conversation. We also read your...

This week we speak with our friend Tiziana "Tiz" Pontoriero, who shares a powerful story about overcoming trauma via BJJ. Most of you know Tiz as jovial, kind, and happy on the mats; however, you probably do not know why she started BJJ in the first place. In this episode, Tiz explains the traumatic event, while vacationing in Rome, which launched her journey into BJJ. It was not easy, a...

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with the owner of Boonton Coffee, Frankie. Originally from a small town near Edinburgh, Scotland, Frankie always loved the taste of coffee. After spending a decade in corporate America, Frankie yearned for something more than life in a cubicle and thus pursued his passion by opening up Boonton Coffee. Since its inception in 2016, Boonton Coffee has seen im...

Is it better to be loved or feared? That's the main topic on today's show. In addition, we discuss strong leadership in the workplace. Enjoy. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠

This week we welcome Nick Calvete to the show. Nick is a friend from the Pure MMA community with an intriguing story about conquering life's challenges. Nick is 26 years old with a past rich with experience. At the age of 16, Nick became a father. While his friends were out playing sports and in school, Nick was preparing for fatherhood via having to work multiple jobs to support his son. Nick als...

This week we revisit the topic of decriminalizing drugs since you guys had a lot to say. Thanks again to those who participated in the Instagram poll. Some other topics on today's show are the taxation of rights, bullshit with insurance, and what the right move would have been if someone is calling your lady a c**t at a football game. Enjoy!

This week we are joined by Joe's friend and coworker, Jake Ruggiero. Jake has been in sales for 5 years, with one of those years achieving the Board of Director award, which meant that he finished in the top 1%; essentially, he is a master of his craft. Jake is a humble and honorable dude who gives great advice on how to excel in your career and life. We also chop it up about fighting and jiu jits...

We are back with another duo cast to start off the new year. We touch very briefly on New Orleans and Vegas, which then leads to a spontaneous debate about whether all drugs should be decriminalized. We then jump perfectly into the absurdity of taxes and what we can do instead. Finally, we somehow get into the legalization of prostitution. We are not encouraging anyone to do anything, rather just...

Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! Now is the time to continue crushing whatever you were doing well in 2024, while also improving other areas of your life.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all. Timmy and I decided to do a Christmas special with a naughty-and-nice list, however the show ended up being a rant on current events. Hence the name of this show being "Bah Humbug" which to be honest, I still have no clue what it means. Anyway, we go into the dumpster fire of the CR bill and much more. We bring the energy and Christmas spirit! We hope you...

Hey guys, it's been a week. Originally, Timmy and I recorded an episode with my friend, Alex, about updates to current events and had a really good talk. Unfortunately, that episode was lost when my computer crashed, and I had to replace my computer's storage device. So, this week you're getting me. I briefly touch on some of those current event updates and also share why giving your desires to Go...

Another duo cast this week in which we talk about the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson and the drones flying over New Jersey. All of this while we try not to burn down Timmy's garage with the new pellet stove. Enjoy! Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com

Timmy and I discuss the meaning of life during this week's duo podcast. Some people live to work, and others work to live; but what's the reason? Are we meant to make money, be happy, or both? Come along for the ride and figure it out for yourselves. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com
