Unlocking Your Inner Strength

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...

I've been studying fat loss for literally 25 years now.     That means the nitty gritty science as well as the psychological aspects of it.     And I can tell you that the mind is the key factor in whether or not you will get results and keep those results.     In today's episode, I break down what these 5 factors are and how you can use them.     Keep in mind, people will disagree with me, but in...

In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Coach G of Guerrero Fitness.    Coach G was driving trucks for 19 years and was always in the gym.     He was what he called puffy strong, jacked arms, but with a gut.     Then, on Thanksgiving morning while playing handball with hid buddies, one of them called him out for having his shirt off.  That buddy put him on to Coach Wes Watson.     Co...

4 years ago, climbing Mt. Washington was not on my radar, at ALL!   I had driven it a few times on vacation, which was terrifying because of my lizard brain response to heights.     I'm talking like palms sweating and cold sweat on my brow.     So, to imagine that I have attempted to climb it the past 3 years is something else.     Each time, I get a PhD in human psychology.     In today's episode...

I first met John nearly 2 years ago in a Mastermind group that we are a part of.     John has won numerous, prestigious awards as a part of that group and he runs a thriving gym down in Texas.     Not only that, but John is also a Doctor and he is in phenomenal shape!   But, it wasn't easy, not by any means.     In fact, John was, not long ago, in a depression and funk, barely making it by in his...

Bruno grew up in Newark, NJ in a big Italian family.     Naturally, food was a big part of his culture.     It's no wonder that Bruno has gone on to become a prolific food entrepreneur and connoisseur.     Bruno has two restaurants, 2 food trucks, the best wings in NJ and…   Has appeared on many of the nation's top network television food shows, including Cooks vs. Cons, and…   Has not transitione...

Man, this one was a good one!  I walked away inspired and pumped!!!   I met Brad Dunn of Reliant Fitness through our Coach, Wes Watson and I've been admiring his message and work in the world of inspiring, Coaching and being a Thought Leader….   Brad began his professional career as a mechanic that wound up being a standout Fire Fighter in the state of California.   His path to becoming a real lif...

I began training Greg as a junior in high school back in 2010.     Greg was the most explosive athlete ever to come through Newell Strength.     Since that time, Greg has gone on to do some amazing things, all by following his unique path.     Greg was recently the runner up on the Bachelorette.     The amazing thing about Greg is that he turned the show down on their first offer to him because he...

25 years or so ago, Amy Fiedler became friends with my wife Devon.   Nowadays, they are the best of friends... Which means that I get the benefit of getting to talk with Amy and pick her brain on a regular basis.   Amy is a world-class Life Coach and as you will hear in this episode, her passion for Coaching grew out of a need to help herself.   Amy's ability to ask the right questions at the righ...

Over the past decade, a strange harmony has merged into my life.     Much of what I teach and practice has strong roots in Indian culture.    I did not pick this stuff up such as my Panda fasting, urine therapy, cold immersion, transcendental meditation through studying their culture….   It simply comes to me in the form of inspiration, I then apply it right away to my own life and then I teach it...

A Man Without a Plan is a Man with a Plan to Fail   Back in 2014, I was in a slump for a few months.     I couldn't quite put my finger on why.     Luckily, Vince, who's been my Coach since 2012, was able to ask me a few key questions on one of our calls to get to the bottom of it.     It turned out, it was a simple fix.   I had, for some dumb reason, stopped planning my days out the night prior. ...

  I had a concerned friend and client reach out to me while on vacation.     He wanted to know why I was on social media so much on a vacation.     Admittedly, that's not what I normally do.     In today's episode, I explain why that was the case and why your dreams are fleeting, you have to hunt them down when the inspiration strikes.  ‼️If you're interested in my FREE fasting manual and 'Lost Se...

Last weekend, I had to tell an old buddy a hard truth.     Most people don't like to listen to the hard truth, but, all progress starts with the truth.     As we dive into part 2 for the Battle for Your Mind, I discuss: discipline, simple vs. easy, your body as a reflection as to what is going on in your mind and the power of having a Coach.     Put the stuff from last episode and this episode to...
