Unlocking Your Inner Strength

Have you ever had one of those moments in life when your mind expands on the spot.     And you're conscious of it?     If you're aware of your thoughts, and this happens to you, you remember it forever.   For me, one of those moments was when I had the chance to compete against Tim Martin back in 2007 and later become friends with him. Tim expanded my mind into what was possible physically.     In...

I was fortunate enough to interview my longtime mentor and the creator of Mind Map, Dax Moy, a few weeks ago.     If you've ever wondered about the origins of Mind Map or what the thought process was behind it, then  you are going to want to take a listen.     In this episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, Dax shares some knowledge about the NEED for creating Mind Mapping, what Bio Map and Body...

My Definition of a Real Man   Last year, about this same time, I was giving a lot of deep thought to what it means to be a man.     Where was I falling short and where do I continue to fall short?    Maybe it's natural to have thoughts of this magnitude when the seasons change.   Check that, I believe it's imperative to have thoughts like this when the seasons change.     Real men are tough and st...

When you were younger, you were probably able to get away with a lot more at the table and your eating habits and not pay a price for it.     Although, that doesn't mean you were necessarily healthy.     As we age, we need to take into account a few other factors and there's a better approach than just cutting calories. 

Going back to the early 2000's, when I began competing in bodybuilding, I learned how to train with injuries.     Over the years, I've become known as an expert and how to train with and help injuries heal faster.     The absolute worst thing that you can when you get an injury is to stop training.     Yes, you read that correctly.     If you want to know why and what to do, take a listen to today...

The Hardest Thing I've Ever Done    Ten days ago, we were up in New Hampshire attempting to climb Mt. Washington.     Last year, I didn't make it.     This year, I was inspired to give it my best.   We made it, it was unreal.   I had to use every tool I had in mind, body and spirit.  No stone was left unturned.   In today's episode, I break it all down. 

A week ago, we had our 4th installment in our seminar series with Dr. Andrey Espinoza about how to have the healthiest heart around.   Lucky for you, I recorded an episode for you on my portion of the talk.     If you want to know: How much sodium you need and why keeping salt low is one of the most harmful pieces of health advice ever given Why sleep is the king when it comes to health and the si...

  Ever since I can remember, I knew that a big part of helping people transform their lives was a combination of things, one of which was teaching them so they understood on some level why they were doing what they were doing.    Fasting is no different.     I can't tell you how often I hear that 'I fast, I do the 8 hour window'.  Which is fine and dandy, that's what I did for a number of years, b...

A little over two years ago, I was quarantined in our room with one of the worst cases of flu ever seen.     It didn't kill me, but Devon thought it might.  It was the real deal.    Anyhow, I had an idea and my notebook.  The idea was the concept of the Panda Diet, something I had been brainstorming for a few months.     I had nothing else to do and no energy to move, so I began to write and map o...

Last week, one of my brothers, Presh, was asking if I thought there was censorship around fasting just like how they censor so many other things these days.     Afterall, fasting does change the health for the positive dramatically in those that try it.     While I don't think there's censorship around fasting, I do believe the current way of eating has been systematically installed over the past...

Before you know it, the warm weather will be here.     Which means that a lot of people will be thinking about their eating a bit more.    It's natural in the winter to ease up and eat more 'rich' foods.   This is part of the human hibernation theory that I believe to be true.     Anyhow, in today's episode, I discuss why we are like Cacti living in a forest.     And to take it one step further, y...

I have been on point with my weekly, long breathing session and it certainly does make me 'high'.     Yes, it seems like a nuisance at times to stay on point with.  But well worth it.   And in about a month, we are once again heading to Mt. Washington to attempt to summit the highest point on the east coast.  Last year, my brain was shot by the time I crossed the tree line because the 80 degree cl...

  I began my fasting journey 8 years ago.     8 years of honing my craft and I feel like I am just beginning to scratch the surface.     In today's episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, I drop some knowledge on the 5 Problems That Fasting Will Fix and not all of them have to do with what you're eating.     But you'll have to take a listen to find out what they are.     You'll get more out of '...

2012 was a pivotal year for Newell Strength.     In this week's episode of Unlocking Your Inner Strength, I reminisce about the past decade.   If you listened to last week's episode, you'll get a feel for the start-up days and the hustle of those first 5 years.     In 2012, I made it my commitment to go all in and walk away from my cushy teaching career.     Hopefully something in here can spark s...

A couple of weeks ago, Suga Shane sent me a podcast to listen to.     The podcast?   One of my very own, where I discussed the origins of Newell Strength.    Which gave me the idea to create another episode on that very topic as each year I get further away from the origins I am sure I will have new insights to share and memories that you may not be aware of.     In today's episode, I share the st...

Leading is not easy.     But it's necessary.     Some people are born leaders.   Some become leaders.   Some are born and become great leaders.    So, what does it mean to lead?   In today's episode, I break down leadership and decision making.

As I continue to break down the 50th Law and lessons on being fear-less, it should become more and more apparent that unless you learn how to deal with fear, you will always live life at way less than your potential.     Coming into the New Year, you will think about what you want to achieve this year or why this year is going to be different.     It will only be different once you think different...

When most people get sick, their only go-to is medication for symptom relief.     I get it, I've been there.   But what if  you  could have some 'out of the box' supplements that would prevent you from getting sick in the first  place?     Yes, this may be controversial because of the Lame Stream Media, but I am not one to shy away  from controversy.

How Does a Week Without Worry Sound?   Two weeks ago, I told Devon that I was making a commitment to not have any worries for a week.     Yes, those thoughts were certainly going to pop up, the task was going to be to shift my attention as soon as I felt them.     Afterall, the grass is always greener where you put your focus.     In today's episode, I share the next batch of lessons about being f...

Napolean, one of, if not the greatest army generals in history had a philosophy on mental to physical.   The moral was to the physical a 3 to 1 advantage.     Meaning, your mind and attitude are far more powerful than your physical resources.     We see this in great talent that never seem to achieve their full potential.     However, once understood and applied, it can be your biggest advantage. ...

  In today's episode, I continue to unpack the book, The 50th Law.     Realize in life that you are alone.  Realize that no one is coming to your rescue.    And know that  being free from what others think you should be, is the ultimate freedom.

Do you  know what  your  principles in life are?   It's okay  if you don't know, most are never asked this question.    In today's episode, I take a detour  from the lessons of fear to give you the framework for developing your philosophy of  life.  For an example, you can download my free '33 Principles to Win at Life' manual to get your brain going on this concept. You can get it here: www.newel...

In today's episode  of ULYIS, I present  to you another in  my series of  'The  50th Law'.   All about fear and  how to  handle it.  You'll have to listen to find out  the  source of  all knowledge, but know that you have  to  empty  your cup constantly  if you  are  going  to  access it.   Enjoy the  listen!

Over ten years ago, I first read the book, the 50th Law.     It is one of my top 5 all-time books.     In today's episode, I go over some lessons that I pull right from the book and share with  you my insights and experience with these principles.     Who couldn't use a little more fearlessness in their life?
