004 - Mart and Dave - Why Energy Work Hits Athletes Harder Than You Think 09/22/2026

004 - Mart and Dave - Why Energy Work Hits Athletes Harder Than You Think The energy is palpable. I can feel your energy. How’s your energy? I’m low energy today. I’m placing too much energy here. Mart and Dave start the discussion today with a visit into the Pinterest world of Elvish Sci-Fi Medieval Forestry Art, then take a dip into the waters of the Sperm Whale and its ability to shatter a human with only its sound vibrations. Marty takes us deep into the BioField and ElectroMagnetic Energy. Some call it Raiki. Others might call it Aura. It’s a power Mart must respect and wield with care. Nick Bjugstad makes a brief and welcome interruption to toot Dave’s horn and put Marty in his place. Our energies are in constant flux and flow. We condition our energies. Is it static? Is it dynamic? Might we need to shake up the cerebral spinal fluid in our bodies and take it for a walk? Can we manifest both the feminine and masculine sides of ourselves? Dave talks about MetaCognition; moving and playing with the Tone, Rhythm, and Structure of our words and thoughts. Mart plays with the MetaPhysical, the body remembers, the body keeps score. We can all spend time pulling from our own story arcs and altering our past interpretations for our own benefit and the benefit of those we serve in the present and into the future. Don’t miss the Rapid Fire Round to hear Mart’s answers to some of Life’s most pressing questions.

003 - Mart and Dave - Living Outside the Curriculum 09/15/2026

003 - Mart and Dave - Living Outside the Curriculum Meetings, meetings, meetings. Timed meetings. Sauna meetings. Boring meetings. Dynamic meetings. Humans like to meet. Episode 3 starts off with a look at the way we come together and the way we say goodbye. How much of this behavior is learned and culturally acceptable? Enter Minnesota Nice and Iron Fist Detroit and how much does this collective thought and feeling affect the overall ether being created in a sports town, a team, or organization? The fear of offending can hinder great growth. Ruffling, Disrupting, and Offending are oftentimes great stewards of necessary change. Mart and Dave take us through some of their own coaching journeys. Climbing the ladder and taking the sidewalk are known paths to going somewhere, but spending time in the wilderness and taking the side door also provide great insight and perspective when it comes to teaching, coaching, and leading others. Being YOU as a coach. Bringing YOUR special sauce. Leaning into and drawing from YOUR experiences. Trusting in YOUR unique teaching and coaching abilities. Finally, Mart and Dave touch on Humility and Confidence. Courage and Awareness. Let’s throw on some turtlenecks and take a walk.

001 - Mart and Dave - The River has Changed Harvey and Dave find themselves back together, standing side by side at the banks of a river that is well known to both of them. Except. The River has changed. And. So have Harvey and Dave. Mart and The Fishbowl gets a warm and thoughtful goodbye. Like a Viking funeral, the name gets gently placed on a wooden raft, let go downstream, and struck with a flaming arrow, sending it into its afterlife. Left standing is Mart and Dave, and in this first episode, the two waste no time diving deep into the swirling waters they now find themselves in, in this current season of life. How have the identities, characters, and personas changed over the years? Where has disruption and discomfort left its mark?

040 - Dr. Mauro Zappaterra - MD, PhD, Cerebrospinal Fluid and Presence Hello, my friends, please welcome Dr. Mauro Zappaterra to the podcast. I was thrilled to have a conversation with him this fall. His work grabbed my attention when I saw what he was doing with cerebrospinal fluid. This fascination had been heavily on my mind surrounding our breath and ways to better understand consciousness. I reached out to Dr. Zappaterra to peel into his perspective and the journey he's embarked on. He is clearly intelligent and passionate about his craft, but his curiosity and humility stand out immensely.

038 - Father Ben - Priest & Scholar 06/16/2025

038 - Father Ben - Priest & Scholar This week, we have Father Ben joining the show. He joined the Dominicans in the Summer of 2014 and spent seven years in formation for the Dominicans in Denver, St. Louis, and was at St. Paul's for his pastoral year in 2017-2018. After being ordained in 2021, he spent three years as a parochial vicar at St. Tom's in West Lafayette, the campus ministry for Purdue University. He has since relocated to Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, where he currently resides. Ben and I have a friendship that goes back to college. From those days to now, our relatioinship has been built on seeking truth and expanding our thoughts through faith. I have enjoyed watching Father Ben take his faith to the highest degree over the years and be a resource for many. This conversation is a peek into the experiences we've had and spaces we've shared. I've leaned heavily on Ben throughout my adult life for understanding and comprehension of the Bible. I feel as though this meeting only scratches the surface of where we may go in the future. For now, this is our first recorded conversation, which I feel you will enjoy! One love. Harvey Martin Instagram | X | Website | Without Words: Mastering the Art of Being | | Breathe. Focus.

036 - Jakob Junis - Major League Baseball Pitcher Cleveland Guardians This week we have the smooth, soft-spoken, prominent-hearted legend, Jakob Junis. It has taken quite awhile to get the big fella on the podcast, but the winds finally made it in our favor. As he was in Minnesota to play the Twins, nature called for rain and thunderstorms. With the cancellation of a ball game, the boys got to sit down, have coffee, and talk about life. Junis is a family man who knows his way around Major League Baseball. With parts of nine seasons in the show, we break down the path. His ability to articulate his early days in the league to where he is now relates to many of us on personal pressures and obstacles in our career trajectory. Having the flexibility and awareness to navigate life on the road, balance family life, and pursue greater heights professionally resonated well. Enjoy the show with my good friend. One love.
