Unlocking Your Inner Strength

  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?

Two weekends ago, Suzy and I went on a road trip.    But it wasn't just a road trip, it was a journey.     A journey in which Suzy had a big break through with her faith.     A journey in which I witnessed here metamorph from a caterpillar to a butterfly.     This episode is me, witnessing a beautiful transformation. Enjoy!  

Life Lessons from Jiu-Jitsu   It's hard for me to believe that I have already been going to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 4 years already.     I remember the nervous, excited energy when I made that decision.    I felt like a fish out of water for the first 3 months, at least!   I figured it would be timely to reflect on some life lessons from BJJ that I feel might benefit  you   in some way.     It doe...

I am fortunate enough to study some pretty interesting things.     Things that may have never been studied in conjunction with one another.     And that means, making connections that no one has ever made, at least not through the same route.     If you really stop to think about it, you do the same things or have the potential to do the same thing.     We each have our own unique 'stack', somethi...

Sometimes, seemingly intelligent people do things that make zero sense according to logic.     You see that in fitness and nutrition all the time.   Heck, you even see it with everything going on in the world today.     I know that if you listen to today's episode of my podcast, you'll connect some dots and become more powerful because of it.  

Way back in 2003, when I was first interning with Rutgers Football strength and conditioning, I realized that what I had been taught in college regarding weight loss was completely wrong.     Nearly all of it.   How so?   Well, a good percentage of the football guys were shredded and muscular, despite no long distance cardio nor watching their calories.    They were in their hormonal prime, having...

Lessons Learned From Ten Days Without Food   It's hard for me to believe that it has already come and gone, but my 10 day long experiment without food is behind me.   In this final podcast about my journey, I go over the main lessons I learned regarding my detox and how it applies to you.   Two of the things I talk about are knowing your why and your what. To get your FREE Fasting Bundle, go to: w...

On September 7th, I began a ten day long trek with something known as the Master Cleanse.     Funny thing is, my energy was superb, even though I didn't eat food for ten days.     In this episode of ULYIS, my energy hits a new high as I break down common eating myths including:   >Fake Fitness Experts that say One Meal Per day is Wrong >The fallacy of caloric deficits >The beauty of dynamic energy...

I do believe a big part of my destiny is in helping to figure out how to help people eat right through fasting, detox and natural foods to attain purity of health.     In fact, it's one of the things I pray for guidance with before each meal.     With that in mind, I know that I must first test the theories on myself.     This serves two purposes; one, to see how it works and to have first hand ex...

Yes, the human body is the human body, so there are those out there that don't delineate men and women's training.     But I feel that it is important to examine the principles of training, so you can decipher what to focus on in a workout as a busy dad.     In this episode of ULYIS, I discuss some in depth principles, but don't worry, I keep it simple.  

How Can We Live in Two Different Realities?   A part of what is so great about road trips is that you can have deeper conversations than you would have if you were just passing by each other during a busy week.     I had some great conversations with my bros a few weeks ago that I will recount in today's episode.     It's too important not to share and it's all about creating reality on your terms...

In ancient Greece, the great thinkers would often fast, not for weight loss but more for higher level thought.   Fasting does a whole bunch of cool things for your brain though certain hormones.   And, it's all based in the science of survival.   Even if you don't have to lose weight, consider the other powers of fasting such as these. Enjoy! 

Your Inner Creates Your Outer   One of the reasons that I fell in love with Mind Mapping was because of the power to know  yourself on a  deeper level.      Think about it, we have a mind, a brain; one of the most powerful things in  the known galaxy, yet many of us don't acknowledge just how powerful it is.     In today's episode, I cover some key questions that'll be useful right away as long as...
