Dose of Humanness

What's up Human! This episode I get to chat with Ben Walker, who is currently a working nomad leading a group called Follow Spring North. Ben goes by Benjoy because his motto is, "Fun is the Point!" Ben is a coach at The Strong Coach where he leads fitness coaches through a 6 month program to Freedom. When you look at Ben's life, you might think... WTF? He's outside EVERY DAY, he's traveling around the United States at alllll the National Parks, he always has a smile on his face... How did he get here?

In this episode we dig into what lead Ben to living this life. From life as an unsatisfied actor in New York, to quitting and signing up for professional development that emptied his bank account to ZERO. As Ben began to live his life in deeper alignment, and doing things for HIMSELF, he noticed that things come a lot easier. The way Ben lives in integrity and alignment is inspiring...

I'm excited to introduce Kevin Torres! Kevin has created a business called Dad Bod WOD, where he coaches busy dads to weight loss, healthier lifestyles, and confident lives. Kevin himself had been on the heavier side most of his life, and had suffered lack of confidence and self worth because of this. As he began to shift his body and his mind as a busy father, he figured he would share his journey. His shares picked up momentum, and soon enough he was having people reach out for programs and coaching.  Kevin drops a lot of wisdom on the weight loss journey, and more generally, how to commit to any transformation. You can find him using the links below!

Each of our guests in Season 2 thus far, Josh Lujan, Josh Hash, and Danny Rios, demonstrated a similar set of virtues in their transformative stories. They took them seriously! And they've accomplished a lot in their lives. If you listen to each episode, you can absorb their happiness and enthusiasm for life — it's contagious! Having these conversations was really dope for me as a host... I got to be in a position of awe and get curious about their life stories.

This episode presents my takeaway's of the episodes from Season 2 on the topic of Transformation. We've dropped into some deep transformative stories so far in this season of the podcast. This episode highlights the biggest takeaways - Integrity, Just Starting, and Doing the Hard Things.

Whats up human! This episode features a wise man — a good mentor and friend... Danny Rios! Danny is a coach of coach's, currently a leader in The Strong Coach business and community. In this episode, Danny tells his story of going deep into College Football, then to owning a Crossfit gym where he seemingly had it all. At a certain point, he realized that he was not living in alignment and it was eating at his insides. He handed the Crossfit gym over and headed on a journey within. What he found is a way of life in which he is a nomad, working his dream job with an incredible team, and taking life as it comes with joy and peace.

This man embodies his teachings in a way that is SO DAMN RESPECTABLE. Take from this man's journey all that you can. And if you want to work with him, see below!

Myy brother, Josh Hash, joins me to get deep and talk about his journey of the last 10 years. I've always looked up to Josh — his is dedication to discovering himself, his practices, and being a student of life. In this chat we capture what it was like for him to build Strength Side from the ground up. From feeling lost and suffering, to choosing a path and going with full force, to being nomadic, to the rise of Strength Side. I got to ask him about all of the challenges, and all of the celebrations along the way.  He does not disappoint!

A beautiful chat with an interesting and wise man.

For the start of Season 2, I'm so stoked to introduce Josh Lujan! Josh has been in the professional gaming world since his younger days in which he has been top-ranked in World of Warcraft. As his life moved forward, he realized he wasn't living into his value of being healthy and fit. He saw more for himself and he set out to make a change immediately. He kept gaming, but slowly made a shift toward health by working out and eating well. As his body and health progressed he got into bodyweight training of which now he can perform some IMPRESSIVE moves.

Now Josh is a voice for health and wellness in the gaming world, his mission being to "Make gaming a healthier space." As you'll hear in the episode, he now sells training programs and a cookbook to his audience of gamers.

This is one inspiring dude who has lessons and wisdoms for us all. See the links below to find Josh around the socials.

Dear listener. This conversation touches on success: motives for success, what it takes to become successful, and the inner and outer work that's required for one's success. The first step toward success is choosing your path. Becoming more and more you while you step away from conditioning and what you believe others want of you. Wanting success is no problem, but dig in and ask why you want it. Is it filling a hole inside of you? Or is it to be of service? 

Success won't fill your holes. Only you can create wholeness.

Matt Hsu of Upright Health joins for a Human Chat about how he ended up doing something he loves and enjoys for a living, fatherhood, and overcoming workaholism. Matt's approach to life is especially interesting because his own personal inquiry and research has lead him to trust himself more than anybody else. In a culture where we're taught to rely on others to give us answers about ourselves, Matt calls bullshit. It is this thinking that really propelled myself to learn more about the world and myself through PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. This approach call for radical self responsibility, and it might just be the key to freedom in our lives.
