Buckle up for one heckuva inspiring episode today as I sit down with my dear friend, legendary trainer, author, and now AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR…Greg Justice. Yep—you read that right.

This isn’t just a story about obstacles, balance logs, or flying through the air—it’s about mindset, purpose, legacy, and what it really means to never stop growing. In This...

Huddle up! It's halftime of 2025—and I’ve got one question for you: Are you winning the 1st half of 2025…or are you getting your tail-kicked? And are you ready to dominate the 2nd half of 2025? If so, I have a barn-burner for you today. In Episode 432, I’m coming at you full force with a locker room style pep talk that I hope will light a fire in your soul.

I’m talking real-deal coaching today: ✅...
