Our hope for today's show is to give you some insight into how your body works and understand the importance of energy ba...

Send a text Today's episode is tangential to say the least. You could call it the random show, we just sat down to have a good conversation. This is actually an episode we recorded back in 2020 and we just decided to release this. We cover falling off the discipline path, children's books that could benefit a lot of adults, why hard training is so great, trips to Colorado, snowboarding,...

Send a text Today's episode isn't going to be for everyone. It's a little heavy.  Seeing as the title of this show calls for us to get uncomfortable I thought it was a good idea for me to do the same.

Send a text You have the opportunity to continually learn new things in life. We are firm believers in doing new things, even things you potentially suck at. You should be excited to try things you suck at because it gives you an opportunity to get uncomfortable and grow as a person. This growth effect is magnified by age we have found, because there's more resistance to overcome with age. As...

Send a text In today's episode we discuss the real issue behind America's health crisis. This country's approach to public health is akin to using band aids for gunshot wounds.

What we are suggesting is that as individuals we take more responsibi...
