VISION x GRIND

Does it really matter if an athlete is natural or not? 🤔 In this episode we explore the different ways people “enhance” themselves in the fitness world and whether or not that matters to you as the consumer.

It's about to get real... This is a special episode of the VXG Podcast for many reasons First of all, this is the very first episode in video form which is pretty dope by itself.

Today is a special day. 10 years ago as of this recording (6/16/2023), one of my closest friends Johnathan “N’Cision” Robinson passed away. I speak about this a lot in previous episodes, but he was a big inspiration for me and my fitness career. He passed on Father’s Day 2013. He didn’t even get to see 30. I became a Fitness Professional in January of 2014.  As I’m approaching 40, I’m extremely gr...

I also talk about how and whe...

I have decided to completely eliminate alcohol from my life. This is probably one of the most candid and personal episode I've dropped.  Recently I made the decision to remove alcohol from my life.  Not that "I'm never drinking again" sh*t we all say when we wake up after a wild night of drinking with a wicked hangover.  This is the real thing.  In this episode I breakdown WHY...

I mean this show is literally called VISION x GRIND, so it’s only right that I breakdown what work ethic is exactly and how it relates to success in anything you do.
