In Episode 305, I sit down with JT DeBolt. We’ve known each other through the interwebs for a couple of years, and about six months ago, he finally pulled the trigger and joined the jiu jitsu academy. He’s still early in the journey, and as usual, we talk about how it’s already starting to change his life. JT served as a Naval pilot for 12 years, flying numerous combat missions in the P-3, supporting ground troops by providing surveillance and real-time intelligence to commanders on the ground. He’s an incredible human who brings powerful perspectives on leadership, societal issues,...

In Episode 304, I sit down with Anton Stetner. We originally recorded this for his show, The Anton Stetner Podcast, but it turned into a great conversation. We dive into many of the challenges people in Washington are facing right now, and I really enjoyed the discussion. Anton is aligned with the Endless Endeavor ethos, and I believe in cross-promoting and connecting my listeners with other freedom-minded shows that bring real value. He also interviews me in this episode, so if you’re a fan of this show, I think you’ll enjoy this one. Please enjoy Episode 304 of the Endless Endeavor...

In Episode 303, I sit down with Dave Watumull. Dave and I share a mutual friend who recommended him for the show to discuss his company, AX3, and their product, astaxanthin. While this episode highlights Dave’s journey as an entrepreneur and the benefits of astaxanthin, it also takes a deep dive into the science and data behind the supplement and why it’s so beneficial across the board. If it feels like a two-hour advertisement, good. I respect people who are passionate and deeply knowledgeable about their craft, and Dave absolutely is. Dave is also offering Endless Endeavor...

In Episode 302, I sit down with the Row West crew following our first true test of the mission, a full 24-hour ocean run operating on a strict 2 hours on, 2 hours off rotation. This was our first real look at how we function as a team under fatigue, in the elements, and on the water, we will soon be living in. We talk through what we learned physically, mentally, and as a crew. What worked, what did not, and what needs to improve as we get closer to departure. With about a month until we push off for Hawaii, this is where everything starts to get real and the small details begin to matter...

In Episode 301, I sit down with John Carughi, best known for disarming a suspect armed with a stolen police-issued AR-15 in downtown Seattle during the George Floyd riots, an incident captured on video by a local reporter. John is a former Marine and an exceptionally skilled firearms instructor specializing in rifle, pistol, and long-range shooting. We dive into stories from his background, mental health, hunting, and more. This conversation has been years in the making, and I’m glad we finally made it happen.

In Episode 300 I sit down once again with Adam Livesay. Adam is one of Electric Jiu Jitsu’s success stories as he’s utilized the powers developed on the mats to positively impact all other aspects of his life. We talk about life, business, politics and of course jiu jitsu! His ability to remain positive and see the good in all situations is unlike anyone I know, and we could all use someone like Adam in our lives!

Episode 299 is a solo episode where I take a deep dive into what we want out of society as men, and the leadership traits required for us to become inspirational and influential figures for the generations coming up behind us. At 45 years old, we should be comfortable sharing our wisdom and knowledge in an effort to empower the next generation to break the cycle of political corruption, endless wars, and division.

In Episode 298, I sit down with the entire Row West crew for the first time. This was our first time coming together as a full team, getting the boat on the water, working alongside each other, and beginning the vital mission prep to ensure success in May 2026. This podcast goes deep into what we hope to gain from this expedition, who we hope to inspire, and how we are continuing to lead by purposefully confronting adversity to show our people that life is meant to be lived. Each crew member brings a powerful and unique perspective, and I am excited about how this expedition is starting to...
info_outlineIn Episode 282, I sit down with Chris Vasil and Bilal Hasan — two local professional fighters out of Charlie’s Combat Club here in Everett, WA, who also cross-train at my jiu-jitsu academy. When I was younger, I trained for many years with their head coach, Charlie Pearson, and our gyms have always shared a great relationship.
We had a really fun conversation diving deep into each of their journeys in the world of professional MMA. As you can imagine, pro fighters tend to be fun, wild dudes — and this episode definitely reflects that energy! We talked about their training, mindset, and what life as a fighter really looks like. Both Chris and Bilal are exceptional athletes and competitors, but more importantly, they’re great human beings.
Bilal is a young up-and-comer, and I’m confident you’ll see him in the UFC before long. I really enjoyed sitting down with these guys, and we’ve already agreed they’ll be regular guests on the show.
