Work in Progress

I go back to the well of great questions that you all send in. Plus, I get a tough hitting interview with my six-year-old daughter, Magnolia. A lot of exciting questions are asked of my daughter and me. I think we both do a great job of answering them. Topics include Testosterone replacement, training through injuries, calorie deficits, overhead pressing, motivation, finding romance, good moods, and much more.

Oh, man. The nutritional supplement industry is a crazy one. Magazines, websites, and IG accounts are always trying to sell you on the newest pill or powder, that's purportedly the missing element in your health journey. The truth is, it's all bullshit. There are compelling products that can help you, and there is a minimal amount of items that can be considered essential. This episode is devoted to clearing up the substantial confusion surrounding supplements and hopefully aids you to make the right decisions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I try to be as open as I can to help people who struggle with similar issues. I haven't dealt with anxiety much in my life, but my amazing wife, Bianca, has a long history with it. She thought it would be useful to spend an episode discussing how anxiety has harmed her and how she has successfully and unsuccessfully dealt with it. Because we are husband and wife, we have meaningless arguments and quarrels as well. It turned out to be a delightful conversation, and I think you'll see why I love her so much.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I wanted to cover some of the most common mistakes. These are mistakes that I've personally made over the years and ones that I frequently see others making. These missteps can easily discourage you and I'd love to prevent or put an end to them.

I am a drug addict and alcoholic. I've always been reluctant to directly create content based on addiction and recovery, but I'm happy to talk about it if someone inquires. Judging by my DM's and emails, A LOT of people are struggling with addiction in some form. This episode is simply my experience and understanding of recovery and addiction. I don't have the answer or secret solution to anything, let alone addiction. What I do have, is a nice collection of successes and failures that can hopefully shed light on the subject. I will be clean 18 years in a matter of weeks. I am a dipshit. If I can do it, so can you. Cheers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I'm half way through the 12 week program from "The Maximus Body." The author of the book and the creator of the program, Bobby Maximus, joins me to discuss my progress. Bobby ends up enlightening me on so many different aspects of life. I always encourage you to listen to my Maximus episodes and this one is particularly informative. We end up chatting about relationships, mindset, framing and perspective, plus much more. www.bobbymaximus.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Drew Pinsky has been my professional partner on the radio and television for a long time. Through our professional partnership we've developed a beautiful friendship. Drew and I get right into Covid talk and I sincerely feel its a different conversation than the one you're commonly hearing. Drew is not only a board certified MD, he's also a member of the media. Because of this, he has some of the most insightful views on how this pandemic is being handled. This is not a divisive, agenda driven hit piece. That's the last thing anybody needs. This is a thoughtful investigation of the radical experience we've all been having for the last six months. We also talk about how he is old and weak. Yeah Buddy!!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

So if you listened to the last episode with Ryan Bader, you may have heard me talk about the 12-week program I am doing. It is from the "Maximus Body" by Bobby Maximus (aka Rob MacDonald). The book is fantastic and I recommend it to you all. There is a six month program that is very comprehensive and well programmed. There is also a 12 week program that is gnarly!!!! I chose the latter. Its 6 days a week, two workouts a day, for 12 weeks. More than anything, it asks you to really get to know yourself. Maximus, much to my surprise, offered to personally guide me through the program. I'm overwhelmed by how generous and helpful he's being and I definitely don't take it for granted. Here is check in podcast number one of my journey, where Maximus himself gives me some guidance and motivation.
