Tucker Max: The Price of Freedom, Dealing with Your Sh*t, & Finding a Wife | MMP #199

How do you possibly summarize Tucker Max's story? Let me give it a shot. Yes, he's sold millions of books. Yes, he's now living on a ranch. But, the details of his wild and illustrious life aren't easy to put into words. His first book was published in 2001. Unlike most ranchers, Tucker's first book has nothing to do with farming, animal agriculture, or growing your own food. No. Tucker's first book was called The Definitive Book of Pick-up Lines, which was then followed by Belligerence and Debauchery: The Tucker Max Stories and then his most famous books I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and Assholes Finish First. So, what happened between Tucker writing books about drinking beers, partying, and womanizing, and starting a ranch in Texas? Well, that's what we set out to discover in this conversation. We unpacked Tucker's life before writing, which includes an incomplete law career and failed attempts at corporate life. As you'll hear in our conversation, we spent a good deal of time discussing where people get stuck in their careers and why people struggle to make change. In many ways, Tucker's early career set him on a path to desperately find his calling. And, he certainly found it in writing. He's written and sold millions of copies of books, started a publishing agency, and become an authoritative figure in the world of written media. But, that doesn't really do Tucker's full story justice. He's also launched a successful podcast called The Mating Grounds, had a movie made about his stories, and been an outspoken visionary for the Paleo movement, psychedelics as a tool to heal emotional trauma, and the growth of Jiu-Jitsu as a sport. His life now looks very different than what it once was. He's a father and a farmer. He raises his own food and spends most of his days solving problems on his farm and spending time with his kids. His movement through different phases of life has caught the attention of many, and his insights on life drive home a powerful message on the power of change and growth. We really enjoyed this conversation and we think you will too!InstagramTwitterWebsiteAudible BooksConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein SPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Eric Hinman: Curating a Healthy Life, Saunas, Ice Baths & Finding Your Tribe | MMP #198

Eric Hinman is a high performer. He's launched businesses, partnered with impressive brands, and competed in Ironman and CrossFit competitions. One of the most impressive things you'll notice about Eric is his ability to curate the lifestyle he wants to live. He lays out exactly how he wants to live his life and then meticulously works backward on achieving it. His typical day includes some time on the mountain bike, a few minutes in the sauna (followed by a few minutes in the ice bath), lifting some heavy weights, and then getting after it with connecting and growing brands. He works with brands like Ice Barrel, HVMN, Kane, BLOKES, and Sisu Sauna! He came on our show a few months back, and now we were able to have him come speak at our ALT Health Conference in Nashville. Eric is an incredible guy with many insightful takes on how to build a great life!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Dr. Jacey Folkers & Dr. Brittney McGetrick: The Hormone Crisis | MMP #197

We are living through a hormonal crisis. The noticeable decline in optimal hormone levels has been shown in several studies, yet it seems to be a problem people are comfortable ignoring. The harsh reality of the situation is the societal-level effect of wide-scale hormone imbalance: infertility, depression, mood changes, & much more.We were joined by Dr. Jacey Folkers and Dr. Brittney McGetrick at our ALT Health Summit in Nashville to discuss what's happening and what we can do about it. Dr. Jacey & Dr. Brittney have both been on the podcast before, but in this conversation, we dive deep into what hormones are, the critical role they play in the body, and how our modern environment is plaguing the state of our hormone health. Dr. Jacey is the co-founder of Blokes, a male hormone optimization business that specializes in blood work diagnostics and root cause analysis for hormone health. Dr. Brittney is a Gonstead Chiropractor with a practice that focuses on healing hormone health naturally for women. Both of these guests bring an incredible amount of knowledge to the conversation and we hope you enjoy!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Gregg Schoenberg: The Relationship Matrix, Etiquette Alpha, & Doing What Others Don't | MMP #196

Gregg Schoenberg sold his company the Financial Revolutionist for millions of dollars. He's had mountains of success and lived a remarkable life from living in Spain for 6 months with his wife, taking care of his mother before she passed, working with Ray Dalio, launching an executive coaching business & starting a wildly successful financial newsletter. Gregg has lived a handful of different lives. He broke into Wall Street after attending Washington University and Cornell. After chasing money and working for a big bank, Gregg realized (at 40) that he was not living the life he wanted to live. While the money was good, he could see what the next decade of his life would look like if he stayed at the bank. So he left. With no real plan in mind for what was next, he spent 6 months preparing for his next endeavor, while living in Spain with his wife and young kids. His time away from Wall Street gave him the space he needed to explore different outlets. The challenges of life set in when Gregg chose to move back home with his mother to take care of her while she was sick. It was during this time that Gregg discovered his gift for writing. After sending a few e-mails to friends offering opinions on the growing FinTech Industry, Gregg realized he had lighting in a bottle. He launched his newsletter, The Financial Revolutionist, and over the next several months grew it to over 130k subscribers and hosted several events. The business later sold for millions of dollars, which set Gregg up for his next entrepreneurial adventures. As you'll hear in our interview, Gregg has a special gift for how he treats people. It's been one of the keys to his success in life and in business. If you are looking to take a risk and become a business owner (or already own a business), this podcast is for you!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Ken Berry & Zane Griggs: Regaining Your Power, Healthy After 50, & Carnivore Diet | MMP #195

Ken Berry and Zane Griggs are two of the most influential thought leaders in the world of diet and nutrition. When it comes to eating a diet to live a badass life into your 50s (and beyond), Ken and Zane are the guys to talk to. As you'll hear in our conversation with Ken and Zane, food is the bedrock of the quality of our lives. It either dilutes our energy over time or sustains it. While most of modern health focuses on prescriptive measures to maintain people's quality of life, Ken and Zane want to put the power back into your own hands. Check out Ken and Zane's new book Kicking Ass After 50. It was an absolute pleasure to have both of these gentlemen join us in Nashville for our ALT Health Summit, which consisted of speakers like Eric Hinman, Alex Feinberg, Nick Nanakos of ZIKI Kitchens, Ann and Weldon Warren of Holy Cow Beef, Charles Mayfield of Farrow Skincare, Wyatt Ewing of Ice Barrel, Dr. Nazlie from Biovanta, Andy Schoonover of CrowdHealth, and many others!

Ann & Weldon Warren: A Stroke to a Rancher, Grass-fed v. Grain-fed Beef, & Red Meat Myths | MMP #194

Very few people see the other side of a traumatic health event like a stroke and get to see there health improve. Such was the case for Weldon Warren. After years of not paying close attention to his health, Weldon found himself in the hospital in rough shape. He had just experienced a stroke and, while his wife Ann stayed positive, she feared the worst. The news was hard to hear. At the time, Weldon was working as a money manager. His career was demanding and required his full faculties to do the job well - after all he was managing over $100m for various pension funds across the US. On top of his health worries, Weldon felt the pressure of his career looming as many of us do. It was right after 9/11 and Weldon had the responsibility of managing pension funds for several airline pilots in the industry. Now was certainly not the time for a health scare.As life does, the health struggle marked an inflection point for the young couple. Up until this point, they were mindful of how they treated their health, but with young children at home, a demanding job, and having just suffered a stroke, Ann and Weldon were determined to make lifestyle changes and find answers to 'what it means to live a healthy life'. It would have been easy for Ann and Weldon to turn to the pharmaceutical companies and doctors for answers, but after leaving the hospital the couple decided to do some research on their own. The doctors had famously told Weldon that “nutrition had nothing to do with his stroke”, but Ann and Weldon were not convinced. Since then they have been on a mission exploring the power of high-quality food and proper nutrition. They became so empowered by the mission that they ultimately established roots in Lubbock, Texas to begin raising and growing some of their own food. Now, they run one of the first commercially available grass-fed, grass-finished beef (never corn fed) operations called Holy Cow Beef. The couple was famously one of the first beef providers for Whole Foods Market (before they were bought by Amazon), and now they spend their time spreading awareness around the importance of incorporating more animal protein and fat for long-term health.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinInstagramTwitterHoly Cow's WebsiteSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Matt Choi: Stop Studying and Start Doing, Where to Start, & Overcoming Your Own 'BS' | MMP #193

The creator economy is a crowded space. Where do you even get started? If you spend a few minutes, or hours (no judgment), scrolling Instagram, it's easy to tell there are a lot of people working on growing a following. However, very few people seem to have tapped into doing it in an authentic way. Matt Choi, our guest on the podcast today, seems to be a natural at it. He started his journey as a creator by blending his passion for physical fitness with his first love: football. As a collegiate athlete, Matt felt he had let some of his potential as an athlete squander. After getting laid off as a personal trainer, Matt focused his energy on bettering himself and reconstructing the man in the mirror. As you'll hear in our discussion, the high-energy, enthusiastic, and relentlessly positive Matt Choi you see on camera, was formed after a college football career that tested Matt's attitude and character. But, that failure did not define him. One of the many things we love about Matt as a creator is his willingness and ability to just throw himself into the fire. He does not hold himself back from new challenges and embraces the process of sharing his growth progression, not simply showcasing all his "wins" (of which he has many). Matt has done 30 days straight of the Murph Challenge and now he's working towards running a marathon a month, and documenting the entire process along the way. His attitude toward life, business, and family is infectious, and any creator or business owner looking to refocus on "building the foundation" will take a lot of value from this conversation. By the time you finish listening to this conversation, we hope you ask yourself two questions: 1) when was the last time you turned a failure into a win and 2) do you know who you are? - if you don't have a good answer to either question it's okay! We challenge you to take a risk on something you feel you have been putting off or want to do.  If you are looking for a little Monday inspiration, give this one a listen and let us know what you think!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

RC Carter: Paying for Nutrient Density, Integrity, & Creating Change | MMP #192

Since the average age of the American Rancher is nearly 60 years old, it's easy to understand why ranchers have been slower to leverage the power of the Internet to grow their businesses. This has created a real opportunity for younger ranchers to tap into the world of social media without much competition. RC Carter is the founder of Carter Country Meats where he sells his regeneratively-raised beef, and he's somewhat of a wizard on social media. He's put out several viral clips about what's happening in the beef industry, and his information has inspired a wave of other people to start speaking out about the various things that are happening in our food system. It's hard to envision a world where people prioritize nutrient density and regeneratively raised food over the caloric-dense, nutrient-poor processed food model. But, conversations like this one give us hope that we can get there.

Myles Snider: The Art of Cooking, Sharing Meals, & The Kitchen Essentials | MMP #191

There was something about the process that made him fall in love with food. The art. The freedom. The ability to speak the universal language of flavor. Unlike most people with degrees in Economics from Fordham, Myles graduated college without complete conviction in pursuing a career on Wall Street. While the opportunity was certainly there for Myles, he felt called to pursue a different path. That path wasn't conventional, but it felt right. His untapped curiosity for the world of food led Myles to the rich culinary world of Mexico. He spent months studying and training in the kitchen with some of the more talented chefs in Mexico, developing a deep appreciation for the art of creating simple and delicious food through timeless traditions & techniques. He was immediately inspired. As Myles refined his skills in Michelin-star kitchens in Mexico, his appreciation for the elements of quality food shifted. How can you take something as simple as a taco and create an experience that will live with someone for the rest of their life? It's a sensory piece of art that only food can provide. It wasn't simply the food that spoke to him. Myles saw what food meant to culture and bringing people together too. It's as if good food had a way of bridging two separate experiences, two separate lives, and in a moment, turning them into one shared connection. It's this element of cooking that Myles brought back with him to Austin. As you'll here in the podcast, Myle's experience in Mexico taught him that food is a bridge for human connection. It inspired him to share his knowledge and love for food with friends and family. But that's not all he was sharing with them. The meals and dishes he made are all part of a story. A journey in developing an intuition for life and exploring creativity. A story about where you've been, what you've seen, and the taste for things that inspire you. Our conversation with our friend Myles explored the art of food, the power of creativity, and the process of not only finding, but also pursuing, a life you love. Myles is one of the most cool & inspiring guys we know and it was an absolute pleasure to share this conversation with him. We hope you enjoy!Myle's New '80/20 Cooking' Course: HereMyle's Newsletter: HereInstagram: HereTwitter: HereConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Colin Stuckert: The Entrepreneurial Spirit, Increasing Your Value, & The Victim Olympics | MMP #190

When everyone looks left, Colin Stuckert looks right. According to him, it's always been this way. From a young age, Colin felt a steady tug away from what people thought of as "normal". In school, business, and life, Colin has often found himself time after time wearing the contrarian hat. And, that's just the way he likes it. As an entrepreneur, Colin has dabbled in just about everything, from a gym owner to a juice bar to a supplement company and an agency. His natural appetite for risk and competition may seem like second nature, but it's been reinforced in him over time through years of taking risks, going all in, and iterating along the way. As you'll hear in our podcast with Colin, his path toward success has been anything but conventional. Even for him, the origins of his intuition around spotting an opportunity aren't fully clear. Was it the years he spent as a poker player in Las Vegas? Or was it his thousands of hours logged playing the video game Age of Empires with his friends (earning him a top spot in the global rankings)? Regardless of where Colin's edge comes from, he's got it and we spend a good portion of this episode unpacking the keys to becoming serious about finding opportunities, taking risks, and building things of value for people. It's hard to not have a conversation with Colin without getting excited about the endless world of opportunities out there. If you're struggling to break through, in need of inspiration, or not sure where to start with turning the thoughts in your head into something more than just ideas, this is the podcast for you.We're proud to announce we're launching our first product with Colin as a co-founder. Our product is called Noble Origins, our take on true nutrition. We have used animal-based nutrition to radically improve our health and our lives, and we've come together with Colin to formulate a simple solution to adding more high-quality protein into your diet.
