Maximus Check # 1
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.

Sex is not a 4 letter word with Lora DiCarlo
"I see a world where sexual stigma and shame are erased and gender equity and empowerment are embraced." These are the words of my guest Lora DiCarlo. She is an entrepreneur/inventor that has skyrocketed to the top of the sex tech game. On top of her amazing products, she now is providing sexual health coaching through the WellSX program. She is a very smart, ambitious and accomplished woman and I had an amazing conversation with her about modern American sexuality.

The Real Orlando Magic
My friend, my former Jiu Jitsu Professor and one hell of a guy. He's Orlando Sanchez. It's always amazing to watch someone achieve greatness, and as an ADCC champion, Orlando has definitely done that. But this young man came from a very deep hole only to get back to ground zero. He's built himself into a healthy, happy person and I love it. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For Whom Chris Bell Tolls
Chris Bell is a documentary film maker who's committed his life to preventing people from suffering. He's a bodybuilder, powerlifter, addict and genuinely caring human. His vulnerability and courage have helped me and many others keep going even when the going gets tough. He has looked in the mirror at someone he didn't like and made the changes he needed to make.

Come on Ride the Train. Choo Choo!
Last Episode was all about eating and this one is ALL ABOUT TRAINING PUNK!!!! I fielded your questions and did my best to answer them. I also broke down exactly what you need to know to put together your best training protocol. It's time to confront your resistance and....Well I guess use resistance. See it's a play on words cuz we have existential resistance and I'm saying use resistance training. Oh never mind.
