".. if your actions and your words are aligned, that's integrity, if you're if you're telling people what they want to hear, so that you get the sale, but you don't care about their outcome, then all of a sudden, you're not focused on the right things..." "..one person's junk is someone else's treasure. So the idea is that it's more if I know that, that the customer needs these three capabilities..." "..if you focus on what is it the client really needs, and you know that you're serving their needs, then you're never really selling anything, you're just solving someone's needs.."

Joey is a highly skilled and experienced wellness instructor, with certifications in the Wim Hof Method and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

In addition to his breathwork expertise, Joey is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Master Jean Jacques Machado, and brings his knowledge of martial arts and the physical discipline it requires to his wellness instruction. In this episode, Joey talked about combining Judaism with spiritual exploration through plant medicine, breathwork & meditation - something that can be hard for some but has been incredibly transformative for him. He explains how breath work helps him manage stress levels and develop deeper self-awareness and what drives him to seek more adventures exploring spirituality with the help of plant medicines from around the world. Find out how these spiritual practices can help you in finding inner peace despite all of life's obstacles that can stand in the way of your personal growth - such as family obligations or societal pressures. His story serves as an inspiration for those who are looking for more ways to explore their faithfulness through both traditional religious teachings & modern methods like plant medicine & breathwork. "what you've often find is people that like we're in like real turmoil in their lives and then went to some real deep rock bottom and were able to turn it around" "You can have all the creature comforts, the women, the drugs, whatever it is that excites you, like the fame and all that good stuff. But without a level of a deeper meaning, you're going to enter this hole that no amount of money can feel fill, no amount of anything like within this physical realm I feel can actively fill." "But there is something to being out in the elements and being a little uncomfortable, being a little cold, being a little too hot, that literally forces you to be present." Tune into this episode now! PS. Joey was the one who influenced me into doing the "ice bath," which is a game changer! /episode/index/show/tribesmen/id/25928598

Episode 30:Preventing Suicide with Rabbi Hammer 11/22/2022

Episode 30:Preventing Suicide with Rabbi Hammer In this podcast episode of the Tribesmen podcast, I interviewed Rabbi Shalom Hammer. Rabbi Shalom Hammer lives in Israel now 32 years and serves as an educational lecturer for the IDF. He is the founder and director of Makom Meshutaf which offers non-denominational and non-coercive Jewish educational programming for Pre-Military Academies throughout Israel. Since his daughter Gila died from suicide at the age of 18, Rabbi Hammer champions mental health awareness and suicide prevention worldwide. In this episode, he dives deep into his experience with grief and how he found the strength to keep going. It is an inspiring conversation that opened my eyes to the importance of mental health awareness, self-care, and resilience in times of adversity. I am extremely grateful that Rabbi Hammer shared his story with us on this episode. What you'll learn from this episode: Rabbi Hammer's journey through his grief and how he found resilience The importance of mental health awareness and suicide prevention Self-care strategies in times of adversity What we can do to help those suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts. Gain a greater understanding of why it is so important to prioritize mental health and learn tangible action steps that you can use to support someone who is struggling. We all have an obligation to care for each other, as Rabbi Hammer explains so powerfully in this podcast. "..our greatest attribute is life. We want to live, we want to embrace life. And everyone obviously deserves a shot at that. Everyone has to embrace and remember it, and certainly to take care to even those who are suffering, to somehow remind them of that and bring them there." "..because people are afraid to say the word suicide. It's something that as I said before, remains a taboo. People are afraid if they mention the word that, it will promote and that it will certainly encourage others and so on and so forth. And that's a mistake." "But ultimately, when someone is experiencing those things, it's a downward spiral. And they feel trapped, so trapped in a place of darkness and despair that they just don't know if there are any viable options out there." ".. the vast majority, not all the vast majority of people, particularly adolescents who die from suicide, do not want to die. They want to live. They just don't have direction guidance, or they don't have the know how of what they're supposed to do for themselves..." I hope you enjoy this episode!
