We’ll Take it From Here with Joe

This week we chatted with our friend, Ari Estrada, while smoking some cigars and sipping whiskey. Ari is a father, husband, and entrepreneur of his new business, ProlificAI Employees. We had a great conversation about navigating through life and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As always, the two end up tying together. Ari gives us his perspective on the importance of winning the day, while also being okay wi...

We covered the Epstein debacle that is currently going on. This show was recorded on July 13th, so it is possible that more information comes out by the time this drops. Is there a plan? Did we get played? Or is there something else going on? We do not have all of the information but that doesn't mean we can't speculate based on what we already know. Let us know what you think. Episode res...

We welcome back Jake Ruggiero to the show. If you haven't already, listen to episode 159 for Jake's first appearance, in which we spoke about being a genuine person. This week we focus on healthy competition. We are all competitive in some way, shape, or form and sometimes it's easy to compare yourself in a self-sabotaging manner. All three of us share our opinions on how to better you...

We discuss updates to the political spectrum from last week's episode and give our takes on what could be going on. These are our opinions so feel free to let us know your thoughts.

This week we give our opinions on the Iran bombings and what could come from them. We also touch on other social and political topics that occurred over the years. Essentially, the constant chaos in our faces seems a bit repetitive and polarizing, and as the title states, the movie is getting old. Let us know what you think.

This week Timmy and Joe played a little game in which they discussed whether certain mannerisms and personality traits are either red or green flags. Chewing with your mouth open, holding doors, driving like an idiot, and much more. Let us know if you agree and some of your own.

We had to pivot this week as our guest had to reschedule, last minute, for personal reasons. Instead, Timmy and I look back at our lives over the last five years and provide the biggest lessons we have learned. We hear the expression, "you are not who you were yesterday", however how many of you actually take a second to see how far you have come? Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠...

This week’s episode is for all the dog lovers, those who have dogs, or those who want a dog. Even if you are not in those categories (such as Joe), you will learn something new.  We travel to West Milford, NJ to speak with Timmy’s dog trainers, Sabrina and Jaimee of Canine Cooperative.  Sabrina and Jaimee started as competitors, and through fate are now business partners and best friends. The ladi...

We welcome back Pat Meyer to the show, who is accompanied by his mom, Lisa. The Pure MMA family already knows Pat; however, for those of you who may not know him, or heard his story, go back to episode 73 to get an understanding. As a child, Pat suffered from daily seizures (upwards of 40). These episodes started to creep back after over 20 years. Fortunately, they are now under control. In this e...

This week we answered three random questions to make for a fun conversation. The meat and potatoes of this episode revolve around providing our opinions on unspoken rules that everyone should follow and people/things we believe to be overrated. The last topic will cause some controversy, so be sure to tune in. Let us know your opinions too. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week, I record a solo episode while Timmy enjoys his trip in Italy. This episode was inspired by a video I saw about the Tibetan Book of the Dead's outlook on what happens after death. This really challenges the traditional idea of the afterlife, which is probably why I thought it was intriguing. I do not know how true it is and am not advocating for its legitimacy, rather I think it's a neat...

This week we welcomed Justin Hyde to the show. Justin is a good friend from work, who is full of life, which is why I invited him on. We had to cut this show a bit short due to time constraints but we already planned a part two. In this episode, Justin talks about his love for boats, how wrestling helped shape him into the man he is, and some fun stories about senior -year partying during Covid. J...

Another duo episode. This week we touch on being wary of who you follow online. A lot of these business gurus, despite having successful companies, can sometimes be scam artists of sorts. We are NOT saying that success always = scam. Instead, some people will use movements to pray upon their clients/workers. We give our opinions on why we believe some people do this. Enjoy.

Timmy and I discuss the importance of flipping negative thoughts and breaking free from the old story that is holding you back.

This week we sit down with Timmy's sister-in-law, Yara. Yara is a kind soul, who possesses the gift of comfort. At a young age, Yara knew she wanted to be an end-of-life doula, to help people prepare for death.

We give our opinions on our favorite cars, the best performing cars, the country that makes the best cars, and more. Also, Timmy goes on a rant about a particular car he does NOT like. Tune in to find out which one. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honests...

We learn how Marc used a break-up to his advantage to better himself physically and mentally, while learning how to hold himself accountable. Marc's message is powerful yet simple; the sun came up today, do you best...

As the title states, not all laws are created equally, and thus we asked you to provide some laws you thought are inefficient and should be repealed. We had fun giving our opinions on said laws. Let us know if you agree, disagree, or just give your opinion on the matter. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠

This week we welcome back Phil McEntee. Phil does not need an introduction to the show since this is his fourth rodeo. As the title insinuates, we have a philosophical conversation, which stems from a personal event in Phil's life. Phil's willingness to open up allows for raw and authentic dialogue, which we hope will help at least one of you; if not, it was a great conversation. We also read your...

This week we speak with our friend Tiziana "Tiz" Pontoriero, who shares a powerful story about overcoming trauma via BJJ. Most of you know Tiz as jovial, kind, and happy on the mats; however, you probably do not know why she started BJJ in the first place. In this episode, Tiz explains the traumatic event, while vacationing in Rome, which launched her journey into BJJ. It was not easy, a...

This week we had the pleasure of speaking with the owner of Boonton Coffee, Frankie. Originally from a small town near Edinburgh, Scotland, Frankie always loved the taste of coffee. After spending a decade in corporate America, Frankie yearned for something more than life in a cubicle and thus pursued his passion by opening up Boonton Coffee. Since its inception in 2016, Boonton Coffee has seen im...
