Unlocking Your Inner Strength

Two weeks ago, we took a road trip up to Connecticut to give our first seminar on a national circuit.     Who's we?  Me, my great friend BK from Chicago and the Turkish Ok, one of the masterminds behind the up and coming media company, Has Media.     Well, you can't let a good opportunity go to waste and I believe in leveraging my time, so we decided to record an episode of ULYIS on the drive up t...

I cannot tell you how many times in the past few years, while having casual conversations, people have said to me, 'This can't be real'.     What were they referring to?   Worldly events.     Stuff that people are usually oblivious to, but that my endlessly curious mind cannot help but research and explore.     Reality is indeed often stranger than fiction.     In today's episode, I talk about cor...

As you read this, I am on the way up to Connecticut or shortly will be to give the first seminar in a series on a speaking tour my great friend Brandon and I will be doing this year.     And no doubt, I am listening to a replay of a recent podcast I did with two of the world's greatest fighters, Mickey Gall of the UFC and future UFC champ, LJ Reboli.     We went over the mindset of a gladiator, tr...

A couple of weeks ago, one of my great friends, Brandon Kelly, was in town for a few days to hang with us.     We took full advantage of our time together which meant a brutally hard Monday morning workout with a bunch of the guys, followed by a podcast with the two of us and another friend, Jake, from Louisiana who was in town for a Navy SEAL event.     We chatted it up about LIFE, success, focus...

A couple of weeks ago, we traveled up to Connecticut for a workout and podcast with Steve Oroscoe.     Steve and I connected by chance.  Someone tagged me and the Liver King in one of his posts, which was about fasting, so I decided to say hi and shoot him a message.     One thing led to another and we set a date to catch a workout and shoot some film and record a killer podcast.     Nothing happe...

Back in 1998, I read a book that I got by mail order from a magazine, that shaped my foundation for my training philosophy.     At the time, I was still in high school, just entering my senior year.     And I had a vision of becoming the strongest bodybuilder I could become.     I left no stone unturned.     Anyone can slap together some exercises.  That doesn't necessarily constitute a solid trai...

Back in 2014, I was lucky enough to go to a Dax Moy seminar on Mind Mapping, which ultimately transformed my life.     Have you ever had a philosophy, theory or idea but couldn't quite formulate it into something coherent, even though you knew it to be true?  Well, that's what Dax did for me when it came to Mind Map.   In this episode, we go deep on the real purpose of goal setting and I believe o...

A week ago, I was on day 3 of a 4 day fast to bring in my new year.     The past few years, I have made it a ritual to fast until my birthday, do a brutally hard training session on my birthday and go deep into my mind the night prior with the help of Magic Mushrooms.     Why in the world would someone do this?   I thought you were supposed to take it easy on your birthday?   In today's episode, I...

People ask me about mindset far more than anything else.     And truth be told, mindset is my forte.     In fact, the main reason I utilize my fasting protocols is for the mind and spirit.     In this episode, I cover 3 keys that anyone can do to transform their mindset.   By the way, negative thoughts are completely normal and common, but it doesn't mean we have to settle for them.     Take a lis...

A month or so ago I decided to start talking once in a while about worldly events, topics that I am well versed in and study daily.     I am endlessly curious about all this stuff.     Now, if you are only listening to the MSM, this stuff will all be new to you and might even highly offend you.     If you are easily offended, then you best not listen, or you can and you can vehemently disagree wit...

Steve Parente, long time friend and client, is about to open his 16th Physical Therapy location.     That's incredible, I don't care who you are!   I can't even imagine opening 16 gyms.     And this has been done in an environment in which the big boy corporations have pretty much wiped out all the smaller mom and pop shops.     When I first met Steve, he was in need of an energy boost.  At first,...

2 weekends ago, I attempted and successfully completed the Army Ranger Challenge.     It was 12 miles in under 3 hours with 40 pounds on my back.     Why in the world would someone do this voluntarily, without a sanctioned event?   Because, I said I would and because I have to constantly see if 'I have what it takes'.     In today's episode of ULYIS, I go over the ins and outs of my adventure, my...

Not to toot my own horn, but I am going to.   I am excellent at seeing patterns long before most people.   I saw right through the Covid lies, literally, before it even officially began.   And nearly every prediction I have made about stuff going on around the world since then has come true.  Devon and my brothers would confirm this for you.   So, in today's episode, I give you a sneak peak into m...

In this episode, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of chatting with Barbara Majeski, TV personality and CEO/Founder of the More Life Collective.     Barn drops so much wisdom in this episode that I had to call Devon right after to tell her how excited I was.  Barb simply 'gets it'.     You will hear how Barb overcame a devastating divorce and stage 3 cancer in the same year, which propelled he...

Since our social media game has blown up, I get all types of bizarre, funny and interesting messages and comments.     So, I figured that once a month or so, I would have the 'Silliness Report' edition of the podcast.     Highlighting some of the points brought up to me and giving you my take on them.     In today's episode, I highlight a true fake fitness expert, a 16 year old with not an ounce o...

  I met David Fishchuk through our mutual Coach a few months ago.     I was impressed by how he was carrying himself and creating the life of his dreams at such a young age (he's 29).     In today's episode, we sat down for a conversation in which David shared how he overcame the death of his brother, how he beat his addiction to adderall and pornography and how he now teaches his clients to drop...

Back in 1997, I began using visualization and studying visualization to help me with becoming the best basketball player I could become.     And it has been something that has been so powerful in my life that I love sharing with you guys.     Recently, on our trip to Jamaica, my visions became manifest, in a HUGE way.     And it all has to do with infusing your thoughts with emotion and enthusiasm...

My video crew, the Turks, aka Has Media, has been wanting to hook me up with one of their other clients, Jake, for quite some time.     Jake has a very interesting background, from being in the military to Mexico, back to the states and now going back to Mexico.   Jake ran a half marathon in costume, without consuming any water and then went on to run a full marathon without any water as well.    ...

Kowboy Keith recently came to town and we got a killer workout in, followed by an amazing podcast episode.     Keith is an uber entrepreneur…   He went to prison for a year..   He was on the Federal Agents most wanted list…   And he has given up all vices as he takes a new path in life.     This episode is an inspirational tale to say the least.     There were tears and laughter and a whole bunch...

In today's episode, I was fortunate to have my good buddy, Patrick Tromley, aka the Level Up Dad on the show.     Patrick is a shining example to his 3 sons and men that he Coaches on how to be a man.     Patrick and I discussed the lack of male leadership and the situation that we now find ourselves in as a world and as a country.     One of the great things that you'll gain from listening is tha...

Two weekends ago, I was out at the 'Mansion Mastermind'.     I hired Wes Watson in February to Coach me for 6 months on the next part of my journey.  (I'll have a YouTube video on my experience next week).     Normally when you go to a mastermind, there are a million things to do after the fact which usually leads to nothing more than you just being pumped up for a few days and then nothing happen...

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to have my buddy, Mike, aka GasMoney, of Norther California on the show.     And I was impressed.     Mike started playing travel baseball when he was 15 and quickly became better.   To the point where he walked on at D1 school, St. Mary's and within his freshman year, got a chance to play and never left the starting line up again.     Mike took that same approach...

Man, my head and heart are still buzzing about after having a great conversation with my new friend Kyle Carnohan of SuperHuman Fathers!!!   This guy is a beast!!! He has 5 kids, a beautiful wife and was at the top of his game as a Fireman, or so he thought.     Right around the birth of his baby girl just a few years ago, he had a calling that he needed to become more.     And that path, that int...
