I get asked a lot about how to deal with loneliness. Unfortunately, like many others, there were times in my life when I felt lonely, deserted, and isolated. Here are my thoughts on dealing with loneliness. I mention in the video that it's probably not necessarily our fault if we're lonely. The way our society is constructed has us further apart than we've been in the past. The benefit of this is that there are places you can find like-minded people and form connections! On the other hand... Sometimes it is our fault. At least to some extent. It may sound harsh, but there's a very real possibility that we may have some character flaw that seems to drive people away from us. It may be easier to think of this in terms of other people, and not ourselves. For example, there may have been an overly aggressive person from whom you've distanced. If this is you, that's okay. We all have flaws. We're all on a journey to self-improvement. Even if you've irrevocably angered EVERY person you've met (which is highly unlikely), it's still not the end of the world. There are people you haven't met yet that will love you. At the end of the day, we don't need an army of friends to not be lonely. In fact, it's entirely possible to be around many people and still lonely. There is a HUGE difference between having 1 person and having nobody. I hope this video can help some of you find that one person. Legal Notice: Consult your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise program.

I talk with the wonderful SarahBethYoga about the benefits of yoga, the origins behind the practice, and how anybody can incorporate the practice into their lives if they choose. I had a lot of fun talking with Sarah and learned a lot. I hope this podcast can intrigue some people who know of yoga but would like to learn more about it.

I talk with Ben Patrick aka the Knees Over Toes Guy about his story and fitness philosophy. Joining us was his lovely wife Alissa aka the Knees Over Toes Girl. What really impressed me during our discussion—which could have been a LOT longer if it wasn't for our busy schedules—was that how training strength through our natural full range of motion could improve so many things. Not only can we actively decrease so-called "chronic" pain in our lives, we can also skyrocket our athleticism. I learned a lot during our talk and I hope this can benefit you! You can find Ben at atgonlinecoaching.com or just as "the knees over toes guy" on social media.
This is a great episode where I talk with my good friend Christi Brown of Intuitively Strong about building a healthy relationship with food and the psychology behind eating. You can reach her on her website www.intuitivelystrong.com or on her Instagram @intuitively_strong!

In this solo podcast episode, I discuss my philosophy on fitness, calisthenics, and diet! I also do Q&A with my live audience.
This is the live broadcast with my good friend and farmer Arlin Hicks on what constitutes a good diet and how to grow healthy food. Those that follow my content know that a quick "hack" to healthy eating is growing and making your own food. We simply have much more control over what we're eating and ingest fewer toxins and chemical fillers. Arlin also gives his opinion on organic and non-GMO foods, the agriculture industry, and the future of farming.
I sat down with my old classmate and friend Dr. Ryan Warren. He has a successful chiropractic practice in Rogers, AR called Warren Family Chiropractic. Ryan is a straight shooter who is excellent at explaining his craft. We discuss chiropractic application to health, wellness, strength, athleticism, pain, immune response, and more. I loved talking with him, learned a LOT, and hope to have him back soon. You can find him on social media and at http://www.warrenfc.com/
I interview my good friend and mentor Tom Bryant! We discuss diet, fitness, calisthenics, wrestling, sports, rock music, addiction, cannabis, and much more!
Here are some thoughts on long-term motivation.
Some thoughts on finding what you're meant to do! Using experiential introspection can not only help us learn more about ourselves, but what we may want to explore in the future. When we find what we want, sometimes it can deeply resonate within us.
Some thoughts on working deeply, finding your flow, and checking stuff off your todo list!
Patience can help us achieve our goals if we use it strategically. There's some disagreement over the importance of patience, but it depends on how we apply it. We can use it to temper the "edge" of our ambition to help avoid burnout and save us from some tempting shortcuts.
It's good to have people around you who align with your values and goals!
Some thoughts! This video was filmed in response to a friend worried about becoming an adult and having to make a living, pay bills, and other fun grownup stuff. It definitely is a change for some people, but the outlook is not as daunting as it may seem.
Some thoughts on how we can better connect with others by working on understanding ourselves and understanding others!
Here are some thoughts on friendship!I think there are at least 2 parts to this:1.) Finding new opportunities to meet people and make friends2.) Learning to be a better friend.Shared experiences can help grow friendships. We can do this by pursuing a passion. This is sometimes done through some combination of the following:a.) building somethingb.) joining others in a mutually shared pursuit (like fitness, art, or warm beverages)A good goal for being a better friend might be to learn to treat our friends the way we'd want them to treat us.However, as usual, we can remember that while personal development can be a lifelong journey, we'll sometimes meet people that connect with us better than others. It can benefit us to be introspective and reflect on ways we can improve. On the other hand, it can also benefit us to remember that not everyone is going to like us (or vice versa) and that may be fine.
