Scott Jones started a fight promotion as a joke name between friends — "husky fat" meaning a dad bod with an attitude — and turned it into a memorial show for his training partner Nick Phillips, a world champion kickboxer who died of pancreatic cancer three months after diagnosis. That show raised money for the Pancreatic Cancer Foundation's Oklahoma chapter and felt good enough to keep going.Four years later, Husky Phat Promotions runs kickboxing events out of Oklahoma with small gloves divisions, Glory-style clinch rules, and a 45-year-old bald male ring girl. Jones hosted the U.S. leg of the K-1 Grand Prix last year and sent a fighter to the world tournament. He also runs a roofing company that pays the bills while every dollar from the promotion goes back into it.Jones talks about why kickboxing is the most underrated combat sport in America, the community organizations he partners with to get underprivileged kids into martial arts, and what it's like to build something when you started with a trailer park childhood and deal with depression daily. His best idea: worst case scenario is bankruptcy — kids are healthy, wife still loves you, life moves on. Take a risk.Thanks for listening.Husky Phat Promotions: huskyfat.comHusky Phat YouTube: youtube.com/@huskyfatpromotions1882Husky Phat Instagram: instagram.com/huskyfatpromotionsCleats for Kids: cleatsforkids.orgThe Come Up Foundation: comeupfoundation.comBig Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma: bigoklahoma.orgQuality Values Podcast: jacobconlanshields.com/pages/podcastYouTube Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcDYjJATsN-Nn0Fs5HLuIq5EIzDcA9tgg

Sav Hill is a mobility and kettlebell specialist in Nashville running Fight Flight Conditioning. She played music for half her life before fitness, climbed Kilimanjaro on her brother's behalf, and has been called the world's best or worst influencer — a title she's proud of.Sav came up through injury and an eating disorder she didn't understand at the time, got educated instead of staying stuck, and rebuilt everything around joint health and functional movement. NASM corrective exercise. FRC mobility cert. Hardstyle kettlebell training under Zach Henderson. Then she found Bellfest and discovered entire other worlds of kettlebell work she didn't know existed. Now she coaches with a joint-first philosophy and treats the boring prehab work as the actual work.We talk about what functional training actually means and whether transference or intentionality is the better definition, why kettlebells open more doors than barbells, what it looks like to train for your life instead of a number, how sitting in discomfort is the thing that actually builds you, and why the strategy is having no strategy when it comes to social media. Sav's best idea: if you go to the root cause, you don't have to keep going back for the bandaid fix.Thanks for watching.

Shawn Sherman thinks exercise is making you worse. Not always. But more than you'd like.Shawn played high school basketball in Pennsylvania until a kid jumped on his back during a loose ball scramble — sophomore year, done. He went to Penn State for exercise science, found a system called Muscle Activation Techniques, got 90% of his own back pain resolved, and became the first MAT practitioner in Major League Baseball, working with the Chicago Cubs. Then one client kept getting worse under the protocol. So Shawn did the opposite of everything he'd been taught. The guy called him the next day — pain gone, 2–3 inches taller, 11 strokes off his best round of golf. That accident became Square One System.Now Shawn runs workshops and online courses teaching movement professionals — rehab, fitness, performance — a neurological problem-solving framework. Over 200 joint actions, six head positions, four eye positions. Binary input: threat or safe. Find the threat, show the brain it's safe, let it reorganize. He's taken a few thousand people out of pain himself. His students have scaled that into the tens of thousands.We get into why he deliberately stopped reading industry material for three and a half years to keep his thinking uncontaminated. How he compares to systems like Go-To, Counter-Strain, and MAT. Why he thinks the rehab/performance split is an insurance artifact, not a real boundary. And his best idea — your brain is running old software from injuries that healed decades ago. Square One doesn't add new apps. It restores factory settings.Thanks for watching.

Josh Dorfman wanted to be a spy. Ended up building the future instead.Two years in 1990s China. A parking lot full of Mercedeses in a communist country. An epiphany that sat in his back pocket for seven years before he knew what to do with it. Now he grows perennial grass, presses it into building panels stronger than the OSB in most American homes, and locks carbon into walls and roofs instead of the atmosphere. Josh Dorfman is the founder of Planted and runs Super Cool, a media platform covering the companies scaling the low-carbon economy. He recently returned to Planted as CMO.We talk about how the business works, why they built their own machines from scratch, why farmers aren't risk-averse — they're risk-saturated — and why China is the Standard Oil of the 21st century while most people aren't looking.Good conversation.

Dr. Richard Amerling is a nephrologist with over 40 years of experience who watched American medicine go from high-quality care to a metrics-driven system that's lost the plot entirely. In this conversation, we trace the root causes — from the moment doctors accepted third-party payment, to the Marxist formula that dictated their billing, to the vaccine mandates that got Richard himself fired from his teaching position in Grenada.We go deep on what quality actually means in medicine (hint: it has nothing to do with hitting benchmarks), why the doctor-patient relationship is fundamentally an act of love, the cholesterol and statin scam, homeostasis and the kidney as the body's silent regulator, and why Richard now proudly calls himself an anti-vaxxer.This one challenges a lot of assumptions.

On this episode of the Quality Values Podcast, I’m joined by Oliver Brossman from Prevolve Footwear — a company building custom-fit minimalist “barefoot” cleats designed from your foot scans. We dig into WHY conventional cleats can wreck your feet/knees, what “custom” actually means in performance footwear, and how Prevolve uses scanning + iteration to create wide toe-box, zero-drop, flexible cleats for sport.If you play soccer, football, baseball/softball, or flag football — and you care about foot strength, injury risk, and performance — this one’s for you.👇 LINKS (Guest + Prevolve)Prevolve Footwear (Website): https://prevolvefootwear.com/Prevolve Foot Scanning Guide: https://prevolvefootwear.com/pages/foot-scanningPrevolve Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prevolve_/👇 QUALITY VALUES PODCASTIG: https://www.instagram.com/quality_values/(Subscribe here on YouTube + drop a comment with your sport + what your feet/knees have been through.)CHAPTERS00:00:00 Why cleats hurt: knee surgeries → barefoot “aha” moment00:01:18 Meet Oliver + what makes Prevolve different00:02:04 Oliver’s origin story: soccer injuries, 3D printing, and the road to custom cleats00:16:36 Cleat design rabbit hole: stud patterns, surfaces, and performance tradeoffs00:32:06 Foot scanning + customization process, transition tips, injury risk, and how to orderKEY TOPICS- Minimalist / barefoot cleats for field sports- Wide toe box, zero-drop, and foot strength- 3D printing + iteration in footwear design- Stud patterns, traction, and plate stiffness vs flexibility- Scanning your feet (Volumental) + customizing fit- Transitioning safely + reducing injury risk#barefoot #minimalistshoes #soccercleats #footballcleats #baseballcleats #foothealth #3dprinting #injuryprevention #performance

Andy Bryant is a podiatrist, movement thinker, and educator with **The Foot Collective**, one of the leading voices in changing how we understand feet, footwear, and human movement.In this episode, Andy walks through his evolution from *traditional podiatry* to a **movement- and nervous-system–informed approach**, shaped by his own athletic background, injury history, and years of working with people in chronic pain. We explore why the foot is not a rigid structure to be “corrected,” but a dynamic sensory organ that adapts to environment, load, and lifestyle.This conversation spans barefoot shoes, injury rehab, posture myths, footwear for athletes and kids, ultra-running, nervous system feedback, and why changing how your feet interact with the ground often leads you to question *everything else* about how you live and move.---🦶 CONNECT WITH ANDY BRYANTInstagram: *@andybryant_podiatry*---🌍 THE FOOT COLLECTIVEWebsite: [https://www.thefootcollective.com](https://www.thefootcollective.com)Instagram: [  / thefootcollective  ](  / thefootcollective  )Podcast: The Foot Collective Podcast (available on all major platforms)---⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Andy’s journey into podiatry & questioning traditional foot care12:00 – The foot as sensory input: movement, variability & nervous system feedback25:00 – Injury rehab, barefoot exploration & chronic pain38:00 – Shoes, kids, athletes & changing cultural assumptions52:00 – The Foot Collective, education & the future of foot health---🎙️ QUALITY VALUES PODCASTHost: Jacob ShieldsInstagram: [  / quality_values  ](  / quality_values  )If this conversation shifted how you think about shoes, posture, or movement — share it with someone who’s dealing with foot pain, transitioning to barefoot footwear, or rethinking how the body actually works.
