Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson

In Episode 284, I sit down with Dave Kelman. Dave and I first connected when he attended my Guns & Gis course last summer — but the story behind that connection is what makes this episode truly powerful. He came to the course to honor my fallen brother, Seth Farwell. Dave is now married to Seth's widow and is raising Seth's son, and wanting to understand the man whose footsteps he is helping guide...

In Episode 283, I sit down with Valerie Masai-Aspaas. Valerie was recently promoted to black belt under me at Electric North Jiu Jitsu, and I'm excited to bring her journey to The Endless Endeavor. I've always been fascinated by women who choose to pursue combat arts and jiu-jitsu—it's a demanding path, and they're often facing opponents who are bigger and stronger. Valerie has brought nothing but...

In Episode 282, I sit down with Chris Vasil and Bilal Hasan — two local professional fighters out of Charlie's Combat Club here in Everett, WA, who also cross-train at my jiu-jitsu academy. When I was younger, I trained for many years with their head coach, Charlie Pearson, and our gyms have always shared a great relationship. We had a really fun conversation diving deep into each of their journey...

In Episode 281, I sit down once again with my long-time Ranger brother, Tobin Foulke. Tobin and I grew up together inside the Ranger Regiment, and few people have shared more of life's highs and lows with me than he has. In this conversation, we take a deep dive into what it meant to come of age in that environment — through deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, the culture of that era, and the les...

In Episode 280 I sit down once again with my friend Jeff Ottele, retired Navy EOD. Jeff first joined me back in Episode 239, where he walked us through the physical and mental gauntlet of becoming an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. This time, we go much deeper. Now officially out of uniform, Jeff opens up about the real battles that follow military service — learning to navigate civilian l...

In Episode 279, I sit down with Jerremy Newsome and my wife, Jennifer Anderson, for a powerful conversation. This marks Jenny's first appearance on the show — and it was an awesome one. She recently joined Jerremy's trading team, the Prosperity Portfolio, where she's grown $10K into $90K in just nine months under his mentorship. Jerremy is a hands-on wealth coach who dedicates three hours each wee...

In Episode 278, I record a solo podcast to bring listeners up to speed on my new expedition, Row West — a journey of four men rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii with no sails, no motors, just pure will and determination. I talk about what led me to this decision and what I hope to gain from it. I believe this will be an odyssey where men rediscover themselves. Please enjoy Episode 278 of th...

In Episode 277, I sit down with my teammate and close friend, Anthony Monson. Over the past few years training together at the jiu-jitsu academy, we've built a strong friendship. Anthony is an avid bowhunter who goes above and beyond in his pursuit of harvesting animals, and I wanted to record a fun episode where we dive into his experiences in elk camp and swap some great hunting stories with the...

In Episode 276, I sit down with my brother, Wilton Ngotel. After a few heavy weeks, we shift the energy with a conversation packed with jiu jitsu, coaching, and leadership principles.

In Episode 275 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast, I follow up on last week's episode, where we were live on the air as news broke of Charlie Kirk's killing. Episode 274 was raw and emotionally driven, and I felt it was necessary to take the week to collect my thoughts. In this episode, I sit down to process how this has affected me personally, what it means for our country, and how we navigate throu...

In Episode 274 We take a deep dive into the grotesque behavior that is plaguing America.

Episode 267 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features an eye-opening conversation with Luis and Isabella as they share their story of escaping communist Venezuela.

Episode 266 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast is a solocast where I dive into the current political landscape of our country. As many of you know, I lean conservative on most social issues—but like a lot of Americans right now, I'm incredibly disappointed in the current administration. What we're witnessing feels more like political theater than leadership. It's become clear that very few—if any—of...

Tony shares the gripping story of a life-altering bar...
