We’ll Take it From Here with Joe

I did two episodes this week, so I am giving you a short rant that I thought was important. Always remember to check yourself no matter what you're going through in life. Life may get wild and in the midst of the chaos, it's easy to react. That being said, always remember who loves you and to be respectful.

I welcome back Timmy with an impromptu episode about the story with boxer, Imane Khelif. We clarify our points and have a cool discussion about it. I mention this toward the end of the episode, but I want to reiterate here; this is really a below the line topic. There is so much worse going on and to be honest, this is a distraction and a way to further divide. However, I felt like talking about i...

Another political rant as I feel it's needed. As per usual, I do not hold back. How are people still considering voting for Harris (i.e. the establishment) after the past 4 years and all the exposed lies? I'll let the episode do the rest of the talking.

The title is straight forward. It wouldn't be me if I did not give my two-cents on what happened a week and a half ago. Full disclosure that everything I say on this show is my opinion, but I ask for everyone to use some common sense. Could I be incorrect? Sure, but I don't think I am and I believe most of you will see my points. If you don't, that's fine.

This week, I am joined by artist and musician, Brian Fitzpatrick. Brian and I share a mutual friend in Scott Dorey, who was previously on the show. I had a blast listening to Brian's story, which includes his love for music, art, Jiu Jitsu, and life. Brian's love for art and music began at the age of 5, when he would use his mother's records to design his own band logos. Brian followed...

This week's episode was inspired by the closing paragraph of an incredible sales book, Fanatical Prospecting , by Jeb Blount. Jeb presses the reader to ask himself/herself one question, "how bad do you want it?". This got me thinking about all areas of my life and my answer was clear, "I want it bad". Everything, I want it all. However, I realized that this was a good time...

No, it's not what you think. I am not going to give a recap of the debate and the reason is because I didn't watch it. However, I did see and hear people talking about it and I felt a need to address one key aspect. My question is why are we surprised about Biden? Why is everyone suddenly acting so shocked about his mental state? Why are we not seeing that everything is calculated and that...

This week, I come in hot with a three-way talk with my boys and veteran guests, Phil McEntee and Timmy Davis. As the title implies, this conversation went deep and was filled with intriguing dialogue. Phil and Timmy are intellects who view the world from an interesting point of view. There is a lot of great conversations and lessons in this episode, along with funny banter. Oh, and if you stay unt...

This week, I talk about the power in not giving up and doing your best. I also speak about the power in not giving a crap about what others think about your progress. Those who criticize your honest work tend to project their own insecurities. Stay positive, do your best, and don't give up on your dreams.

Last week, I gave you a badass 4-hour conversation with my boy, Timmy. This week, I keep it short with a solo, however this episode is important. Once again, I come back to the mind and how crucial it is to take control of your thoughts and to eliminate the victim mindset. This episode stemmed from some instances that occurred in which people took their negative circumstances, cried victim, and ma...

This weekend, I record from my boy, Timmy Davis's, garage on the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend. Even though this episode will drop a couple of weeks after the holiday, I still want to thank all the service men and women, who sacrificed their lives for the people of the United States of America. I also want to thank Timmy for inviting me to his home because it provided for a relaxed environmen...

This week, I welcome back my boy, Mike Amore. Mike first joined us on episode 70, which was fifty-three weeks ago to be exact. In that episode, Mike introduced himself and gave us an understanding of how he got his start in fighting. Today, we spoke about his growth during this one-year time span. Mike recounts his trip to Thailand where he had the opportunity to train with the top Muay Thai coach...

This week I am joined by Veteran and Founder of Abrusci's Coffee, Sean Abrusci. Sean and I share a mutual friend who I am grateful was able to connect us. Sean is vibrant and constantly improving in all aspects of his life. We discussed a variety of topics from his time in the Marines, working in narcotics with the DEA, his non-profit adventure in Ethiopia, and life as an entrepreneur. Despite...

This week, I am joined by my friend Billy Van Dyke. Billy and I met at Pure MMA and train together on a weekly basis. Billy is currently one of the amateur fighters out of our gym with aspirations of going professional. Growing up, Billy competed in football, lacrosse, wrestling, fighting, and also enjoyed extreme sports such as snowboarding and dirt biking. We spoke about MMA, BJJ, mindset, his a...

This week, I record late in the evening from my bed which was a nice change of scenery. Two events occurred during the day that I felt were great topics to talk about. The focus of the show is: 1) channeling your energy to utilize negative circumstances to your advantage, and 2) always going above and beyond to get better and test your limits. The latter portion came up after rolling with my frien...

This week, I discuss what's on my mind with the intention of motivating you guys and sparking some self-reflection. I speak about what I am proud of and where I can improve based on the past few months. While listening, I challenge you to reflect on your achievements and areas that need work. I also give my opinion on healthy competition and how to be the best. Always take responsibility of yo...

This week, I focus on two topics that I believe needed to be addressed. To start off, I reiterate the importance of being in control of your thoughts and believing in yourself, and I give examples from my recent, personal experiences. Lastly, I address the importance of trying new activities in life and how doing so can liberate you mind and body. For me, it's getting my boating license and le...

This week I am joined by my friend Timmy Davis. Timmy and I train together at Pure MMA and I knew he would be fun to have on the show. Our conversation flowed very well and is a fun listen. We speak about a variety of topics including: BJJ, mountain biking, rock climbing, cars, lack of police training in BJJ, being Italian, our mindset, the subconcious mind, and much more. You will enjoy this epis...

With the shenanigans that occurred in the past week, I decided to take a moment to share my opinion on what may have been the cause. I am talking about all the scare that surrounded the eclipse and while I am the first to be skeptical and trust very little of what the "officials" of our government says, I also believe that the rumors (if they were true or not, I have no idea) could have...

This week, I bring another solo episode sharing my thoughts about the current political and social climate and how we need to be aware of the tactics the bad actors may use. I would not categorize this episode as political, rather a brief overview of how we need to stay strong as a people. I also talk about a conversation I had at the bar that made me think about how, as a society, people will mos...

This week, I welcome back my great friend, Phil McEntee. If you have not listened to Phil's first two episodes, I highly recommend that you do for some great conversations (episodes 55 and 89). Although all guests bring immense value to the show, I love my conversations with Phil because he is a very philosophical and deep thinker. In this episode, Phil gives his perspective on life and how he...

Back at you guys with another solo show in which I discuss what's on my mind with regards to how we (as people) respond to others. I pose the question of why most people's default response is negativity when it comes to another's personal decisions. Do we do it as a defense mechanism or is there something else there? This also leads into the discussion of why are we here on this Earth?...

This week I am joined by my friend and fellow Pure MMA teammate, Andy Segovia. Andy is a father, husband, police officer and former professional MMA fighter. We had a great time talking about how he got his start in MMA, how MMA has helped in the police force, and discuss current events and our views on the subject matter. There is a lot of golden moments in this show, especially when it takes a f...

This week I bring you a solo talk regarding the importance of being a good person and the implications it can have on improving our society. I am focusing on this topic now for two reasons: 1) the current climate of the world and 2) I see/hear it more in my conversations with people. No matter who you are or what you do, always try to be the best version of yourself, help others, and do you best t...

Another solo podcast this week in which Italk about the mind and how our thoughts have a deep impact on our lives and realities. I discuss the importance of establishing who you are ("I Am"), so you can set the basis of experiencing awesome things in your life. Those of you that know me already know that I love learning about the subconcious and practicing techniques to control my though...
