Awesome discussion about finding the value in negative feelings, the work that must be done to pull yourself out of a hole, combatting the pressures put on us by society, and how to help someone without enabling them.  Enjoy!

Choosing someone to trust to coach you on any new skill requires trust and vulnerability.  Today we talk about how to choose a coach, and allow yourself to be coachable.  Well discuss the importance of application and situational awareness as well as knowing how to stay present and focus on the lesson at hand.  Also how important choosing the proper person to teach you something as significant as self defense for your self or loved ones and how to stay away from snake oil salesman.

We are back!  After a lengthy hiatus Evan and Joel are back!  We talk about allowing yourself to feel feelings without trying to control them or allowing them to impact your actions and how giving yourself space to FEEL, can lead you to answers about yourself or your goals, that you didn't even know you were looking for!  Be honest with yourself is the best way to love yourself!

This week we discuss the famous " Man in the Arena" speech from Theodore Roosevelt and the incredible relevance it still carries today about how others will sometimes try to downplay or ridicule the goals and work of others in order to make themselves feel better about their lack of courage, meaning, fortitude, or belief.  Instead of popping someones balloon,  go find your own!

Great conversation about building habits for sustainable success through small, intentional choices on a consistent basis to develop healthy habits and eliminate bad ones to increase productivity and results in all areas of life!

We are back after an unintentional hiatus! We take a look at how Strength and hardness is needed to build, protect, and fortify, and softness can be used to create comfort and "feelings" of safety.  Ultimately we need both,  but it is our job to balance What we seek, and when.  Memento Mori is much darker when you forget the other half which is Memento Vivere.  As always,  We believe balance is the ultimate discipline.  Enjoy!

Good Discussion about the upside of being "Friendzoned" and how excommunicating people who care about you for not being romantically interested in you can be incredibly detrimental to your life in the long run because of the amount of valuable relationships you can lose by thinking like a caveman,  Chime in and let us know what you think!

Joel and Evan Have an awesome conversation about the problems with lowering standards to achieve "Success" and the negative impact universal equity of outcome can have on the overall quality of our lives.  We hope you enjoy, and would love to hear what you think!

This week we start out with a discussion on the dangers of selling a "quick fix" for vulnerable people looking to learn self defense.  Also covered is the idea of either living with your choices and being happy, or changing the things you prioritize to get different results rather than complaining about the consequences of choices that we made on our own for ourselves.  Do what makes you happy. Control what you can control.

On this episode we talk about how toughness is a choice that is made every single day, telling yourself the truth in relation to your capabilities and goals, and understanding that feelings are meant to be FELT, not discarded, discredited, demonized or avoided.  We talk about how our loved ones make sacrifices for us in telling us what we don' want to hear, and better ways to deal with negative feelings, self talk, or explosive emotions.  Thanks for helping us make it to 101 episodes.  WE LOVE YOU.

Today we talk about a philosophical question of friendship.  Do you LOVE your friends?  If not, should you find new friends? Or, should you work on BEING a better friend?  Balancing ego and accountability cant be hard, but if you can't be happy for your friends,  something is missing.  We hope to help you find friends that you can not help but love. 

Brief solo episode about my thoughts on a recent social media encounter and some of the underlying reasons why it may have gone the way it did.  I'll talk about my opinion on why the saying "misery loves company" seems so fitting and true in these types of exchanges and how realizing where a person is coming from can help you at least feel empathy for their situation.  The second half is a realization I had in explaining the importance grip breaking and gi training to a beginner student and how that relates to removing the obstacles that stop us from understanding our true value and distort our perception of ourselves.  I hope you enjoy, and i hope this helps anyone who may be struggling to love yourself.  Have a great week!
