There's an old saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." In simpler terms this means in order to accomplish anything great in your life you're going to have to be willing to take some risks. When I first met Brian Pannuzzo, he was a Wallstreet Executive and a 7-figure earner. He had money, nice cars, expensive clothes and a beautiful home. He was successful by most people's standards. And, he was unfulfilled. Realizing the job, title, high income and all the toys in the world couldn't bring him enduring happiness and fulfillment, he decided to risk it all to pursue his true purpose and passion. He quit his job, moved his family from the East Coast to California, and found his true calling in life. Now he is inspired by the work he does, coaching and helping men whose financial success has cost them their health, marriage and relationships. Whether there are a few things about your life that could be better, or you're looking for a massive overhaul to change your entire existence, you'll learn how to do it in this episode. Listen as we discuss: Brian's journey from Wall Street to doing what he was born to do. [9:41] The ripple effect created from stepping away from his one-dimensional life. [12:44] The importance of hiring a coach to TRANSFORM your own life. [17:10] Why self-belief is critical. [20:41] Why you MUST step out of your comfort zone to grow. [23:29] Life is about experiences, don't waste it! [25:20] Why you must surround yourself with people that support, believe in, and challenge you! [27:56] How to remove crabs from your bucket.

In 2016 Matt Dawson, the Creator and Founder of Dawson's Peak, was successful by most people's standards but he still felt an unshakeable sense of unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. He became increasingly disheartened because of his lack of a greater purpose. The best way he knew to bring about dramatic change was to intentionally put himself into uncomfortable situations and strive to push his own limits. With no previous climbing experience, he climbed some of the most extreme mountains in the world including Mt. Everest, Kala Patthar, Gokyo Ri and Cho La Pass. Spending his days hiking, reading and writing, he discovered the introspective/meditative elements of being in nature, hiking and climbing. It was then he was hit with the inspiration for Dawson's Peak, a public charity which looks to stage multiple global expeditions meant to inspire people by pushing the boundaries of peak human potential, and he discovered his life's purpose.

If you want to succeed in life you've gotta learn how to be a leader and develop the grit to overcome adversity. The all-new #RenegadeRadioPodcast features a man that may know more about both than anyone else, Jason Redman. A retired U.S. Navy SEAL, he suffered devastating injuries when he and his team came under heavy machine-gun fire while fighting the war in Iraq. Shot twice in the arm and once in the face, he managed to survive through the heroic acts of his teammates and his own will to live. Jason overcame seemingly insurmountable odds, and hardships the likes of which most people will never know, to recover and continue living a rewarding and successful life. He's the founder and Executive Director of Wounded Wear, which later became Combat Wounded Coalition, a Non-Profit organization that supports those wounded in war and families of the fallen. He's also the founder and CEO of SOF Spoken, a speaking company which provides inspirational presentations on leadership, teamwork and overcoming adversity, and the author of "The Trident: The Forging and Reforging of a Navy SEAL Leader" and his newest book, "Overcome: Crush Adversity with the Leadership Techniques of America's Toughest Warriors." Leadership isn't about having a title or being "the boss". It's about having the right mindset, taking initiative, accepting responsibility and inspiring others through your example. To learn how to develop these skills and more listen as we discuss: The chilling story behind the injuries Jason suffered in combat. [10:41] Did being physically fit help save his life? [27:39] A surprising element of strong leadership. [33:02] Why he was determined to get back in shape and the huge obstacles he overcame to do it.

This episode includes the deepest dive on hormone optimization and HRT that we've ever had on Renegade Radio. So, it will be of extreme interest to all men over 35, and especially those over 40. Find out everything you can and should be doing to get your testosterone and other hormones to optimal levels. And why NOT doing that could lead to all kinds of health problems. We also go into great detail on everything you should be doing to maximize your sleep so that you can always perform at the highest level. After retiring from active duty as a U.S. Navy SEAL, Dr. Kirk Parsley began treating his fellow servicemen. In time he noticed a direct correlation between his patients' sub-optimal hormone levels and poor sleep habits. He helped them experience phenomenal results by addressing both issues. He became Naval Special Warfare's expert on Sleep Medicine and a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He invented Sleep Remedy, a dietary supplement designed to help people overcome the most common nutritional deficiencies that can interfere with deep, restorative sleep. Dr. Parsley is also certified in hormone modulation, consults for multiple corporations and professional athletes and teams, and lectures all over the world on sleep, wellness, and hormone optimization. This episode will not only teach you the importance of optimizing your hormones and sleep, but it also gives you actionable tips to help you do both. Note: When Dr. Parsley refers to "sub q" injections, this means subcutaneous. Listen as we discuss: How he became a U.S. Navy SEAL and found his way into med school even though he was a terrible student. [7:06] How the secrets his fellow SEALS kept from their doctors led him to specialize in sleep and hormone optimization. [17:18] What led to the "light bulb" moment when he realized sleep was the key to optimal health and performance? [21:50] How often should guys in their 40's have their bloodwork done? [31:18] What are the most important blood tests for guys in their 40's and beyond? [35:38] Does low testosterone double your risk of disease and death? [46:31] Testosterone causes prostate cancer, right? Think again… [47:12] What is the ideal test level for a man? [48:55] The optimal frequency for HRT and why intramuscular injections aren't the most effective way to take it. [53:23] The scary truth about surgery when you're 40 or older and how Kirk helps patients recover much faster. [59:53] Effective ways to recover from a concussion. [1:09:42] Symptoms of low testosterone and the MOST effective thing you can do to fix it. [1:17:46] Is the correlation between testosterone levels and erectile dysfunction misunderstood? [1:26:08] The devastating consequences of just ONE night without enough sleep. [1:29:36] Why optimal hormone levels are as beneficial to your brain as they are to your body. [1:39:30] His top tips for improving your sleep tonight. [1:45:54] Is there an optimal time of day to train to optimize performance and sleep? [1:59:50] What is Doc Parsley's Sleep Remedy?

He has gone on to become a Level 3 Personal Trainer and co-founded the most popular gym in Southern California, Box 'N Burn.

Over the last few years you may have heard some relatively new (less than 10 years of real world experience) trainers and online fitness guru's regurgitate the following statement, "volume is the key driver of hypertrophy gains." That statement is continually made these days because of some studies showing that those who did more sets gained more muscle. But it's hardly conclusive and hardly the advice that everyone should adhere to. If you lack the requisite 10-25 years of real world coaching experience that it takes to wade through all this stuff, you just go with whatever's popular at the moment. The first thing I do with anyone who isn't making gains is to cut their volume down drastically. Whenever you do that you almost always see gains in size, strength and power. You also feel better and your joints hurt less. So, in this episode, we'll get into the real deal on training volume and a bunch of other stuff including: Is there any value in doing complexes? How to add 100lbs to your squat in 12 weeks. Massive gains with only 1-3 sets? Best way to get rid of belly fat? Leg training for athletes who play/practice 3x per week. Tracking sleep and HRV. Safely loading and picking up weights. Stuff I use in the gym. How to engage the back and not the biceps. Best workout split for men over 40? How to build bigger traps. How much frequency is too much? Best ab exercises. Neck and grip training tips. This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition.

Drew Manning knows what it's like to be overweight, out of shape, unhealthy and uncomfortable in his own skin. He knows the burden of being physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. If that's where you are currently, he can relate. He also knows how amazing it feels to be healthy, lean and muscular. He has experienced what it's like to have almost limitless energy and unshakeable confidence. If that's where you want to be, he can show you how. Drew is a Fitness Expert, Personal Trainer and the creator of the #FitToFatToFit TV show and www.fit2fat2fit.com. He is also the NY Times Bestselling author of the book, "Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs. On Purpose,", host of the Fit2Fat2Fit Experience Podcast and the founder of the keto focused supplement line, Complete Wellness. As a Personal Trainer he became discouraged by the number of his clients who were quitting their exercise and nutrition programs long before achieving their goals. A fitness fanatic since childhood, Drew had never experienced what it was like to be overweight, out of shape, unhealthy and unhappy. In effort to better understand the challenges his clients were facing he decided to put his own body through an experiment. He intentionally gained 75 lbs. of fat within 6 months by stopping exercise and eating the kinds of processed foods that are typical in the average American's diet. Once he gained the weight, he turned to the pillars of exercise and nutrition to help him lose it all within the next 6 months. Drew not only gained weight, but he also gained a much deeper understanding of and respect for the difficulties overweight people have and the challenges they face when trying to achieve their health and fitness goals. If you want to learn more about what this journey taught Drew, and how it can help you become physically, mentally and emotionally healthy and strong, listen as we discuss: How did he first get into fitness? [3:46] What was his training like in the early days and how has it evolved? [4:51] What was the inspiration behind the Fit2Fat2Fit experiment? [7:27] Physically, mentally and emotionally what happened to him when he gained all the weight? [10:13] How did he eat to gain so much fat so quickly? [11:07] How he ate and trained to get his body back! [16:47] Why going keto changed the way he looked at nutrition. [19:31] The connection between your mental, emotional and physical health and how stress impacts the body. [24:30] How did he get to a place of self-love?

Have you tried losing weight in the past but just couldn't make progress no matter how little you ate or how much you exercised? Even worse, have you managed to lose weight in the past only to gain it all back, and then some? The problem most likely is NOT a lack of discipline and consistency, or any character flaw. The problem is your current "Setpoint," and learning what it is and how to change it will help you finally get the results you want. Jonathan Bailor is the founder of SANESolution.com. His SANE program is rooted in the modern science that weight gain and diabetes are not character flaws, but instead are symptoms of an elevated Setpoint Weight caused by "insane" foods and yo-yo dieting. He is also the NY Times and USA Today bestselling author of the book, "The Calorie Myth." His newest book is, "The Setpoint Diet: The 21-Day Program to Permanently Change What Your Body 'Wants' to Weigh." The Setpoint Diet provides a breakthrough eating plan proven to help anyone who wants to improve their metabolic health, blood sugar and weight naturally and permanently by lowering their "setpoint." The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.

Everyone feels fear. From the biggest, toughest, most jacked dudes on earth to small children and frail, elderly women, fear is an emotion all humans know well. If we all feel it, what separates those who take action and do what's necessary in the face of fear from those who let it cripple them? The answer can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. Tony Blauer has dedicated his life to teaching people how to understand and manage their fear even, and especially, in the most stressful, dangerous and violent situations. He is the creator of the Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response (S.P.E.A.R.) self-defense system. Back on Renegade Radio for the 2nd time, in this episode Tony provides an in-depth explanation of the emotion known as fear and teaches you what happens physiologically when you experience it. Whether it's so you can defend yourself if necessary, give an amazing presentation, perform well in a job interview or just have the confidence of knowing you'll take action when faced with it, you must learn to conquer your fear. But before you can defeat it, you need to understand it. To learn how, listen as we discuss: Why Tony started doing Tai chi with Dr. Mark Cheng [12:23] Is his intensity sometimes misconstrued?
