We’re thrilled to have Dr. Nazlie Latefi, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at BioVanta, join us on the podcast. Dr. Latefi gives an inside look at the surprising lack of innovation in the over-the-counter medicine industry. She explains how most cold and flu remedies rely on outdated formulas developed back in the 1930s, with ingredients like pseudoephedrine and dextromethorphan that are ineffective yet still commonly used today.As a scientist pursuing her PhD in molecular neuroscience, Dr. Latefi started questioning why OTC options hadn’t evolved to address root causes like inflammation. This curiosity ultimately led her and her husband to create BioVanta, using next-level ingredients backed by science and nature.We come away feeling empowered, knowing we can vote with our wallets to support companies like BioVanta that are pioneering meaningful change. We’re grateful to continue learning from Dr. Latefi and are encouraged by BioVanta’s mission to transform over-the-counter medicine into safe, natural solutions that actually work.Connect with Dr. NazlieTwitterShop Biovanta ProductsConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSCrowdHealth provides an alternative to traditional health insurance by allowing members to crowdsource their medical expenses.Use the code 'MEATMAFIA' to get coverage for $99 for your first 6 months.Paleovalley is on a mission is to help people reclaim vibrant health.

This week we sat down with Dr. Anthony Gustin, founder of Equip Foods, host of The Natural State Podcast, and expert on ancestral health and nutrition. We reflected on Anthony's journey building and selling his company Perfect Keto, and the lessons he learned about finding fulfillment through creative pursuits versus just chasing entrepreneurial success.Anthony shared his recent move to Bend, Oregon and how he is focused on investing profits into local businesses and building community. We discussed concerns about societal decay, and the lack of inspiring role models when reaching high levels of "success."A big portion of this episode involved an honest discussion about our spiritual journeys and discovering meaning through faith. Anthony opened up about exploring religion after rejecting it earlier in life, while we explained how finding a supportive church community has been incredibly impactful for both of us.Overall, this was a wide-ranging and vulnerable conversation exploring entrepreneurship, spirituality, regenerative agriculture, and leading a values-driven life in service of others. We appreciated Anthony's wisdom and perspective.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSSacred Hunting is enabling people to experience hunting trips all across the United States and sharing the traditions of coming together through the sacred practice.

This week we sat down with Rob Schimek, the CEO of of Bolttech, a global insurtech company worth $1.6B dollars. Rob has over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry and is one of the most accomplished executives we have ever met. We could have podcasted for hours just about Rob’s professional career and business insights, but there is so much more to his story. Rob comes from humble beginnings, born into a family of 8 that was on food stamps when he was a child. He learned the value of hard work at a young age and was the first generation of his family to go to college. He started by getting an associate’s degree from Bucks County Community College, a Bachelor’s degree from Rider, and then an MBA from Wharton. Rob’s endurance pursuits are beyond legendary. He has done countless marathons, Ironmans, and tough mudders. He has completed the Ironman World Championships in Kona 3 times and is currently training for the Antarctic Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon at 58 years of age. We detail his training regiment, diet, bloodwork protocols, and much more. It is also important to note that Rob did not complete first race until he was 40, and we discuss why it’s never too late to start something new. This is an amazing episode for anyone interested in business, endurance sports, transitioning to entrepreneurship late in life, and above all…. Maximizing your potential in the short time we have on this earth.

In a few short years, she went from training Nick Bare for his first Ironman to running one of the most accomplished triathlon teams in the country. We first had the chance to meet Natasha the day before our first Ironman in Waco, Texas in the fall of 2021. While we weren't her athletes, she made a point to track us during the race and check in to see how we were doing. Since then, we've become great friends and she's played an incredibly important role in mentoring us over the last two years that we've known her. But, we are not alone. Natasha coaches and mentors many of her athletes in triathlon, as well as life. She's a true leader, and NVDM Coaching is a true testament to her love for her athletes and her commitment to putting God first in everything she does. In our conversation with Natasha, we discussed:Her path from professional tennis to NVDM CoachingWhat makes NVDM Coaching differentBuilding mental toughness as an athleteWhat she learned coaching Nick BarePutting God first in her business and lifeWe're incredibly honored to call Natasha a friend, and we hope you find value in our conversation.

Hunting used to be a sacred practice (and in many parts of the world it still is). However, in the modernized Western world, we've gotten away from the traditional practices around sourcing our own food, which used to be a source of great spiritual and personal growth. We were excited to speak with Mansal Denton about his experience leading hunting trips that brought people back in touch with the sacred elements of hunting:- Building confidence in self- Intimacy with nature- Connecting with food- Healthy relationship with death- Brotherhood and community- Primal masculinityMansal's story beyond hunting is remarkable. As a young man, Mansal ran into trouble with the law and found himself in jail. The time away from society shaped a new perspective on life for the young man, and within the confines of prison Mansal begin to resurrect a brighter future. In our discussion, we talk about masculinity and the cultural significance of rite's of passage. We also discuss the power of handing down tradition and knowledge from one generation to the next, as a way to shape and form strong men. **DEAL ALERT**If you are interested in learning more about Mansal and his hunting trips, check out Sacred Hunting and let him know the Meat Mafia sent you to get $250 off your hunt!Mansal's book: Sacred HuntingMansal's podcast: The Mansal Denton PodcastConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFold App - Earn Bitcoin on all of your purchases by using the Fold Debit Card - it's simple, easy, and a fun way to earn bitcoin as you spend money on healthy foods!

Dear Media has become a media empire. What started out as a blog, has now morphed into one of the largest, most influential independent media platforms in the world. Michael and Lauryn Bosstick launched Dear Media back in 2018 and together they host the flagship show on the platform: The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast. The show explores different conversations around wellness, business, beauty, and lifestyle, while layering in the charming and inspiring nature of Michael & Lauryn's relationship.We were excited to connect with Michael because he has partnered with his wife to build a truly unique and special media business that has helped spread a positive message around becoming the best version of yourself. Michael has spearheaded a lot of the behind the scenes growth of the platform by brokering deals with new podcasts and brands. As you'll hear in the show, Michael did not take a conventional road to the media world. He first started out in real estate and then had a successful stint in the aviation business, building JetBed with his father. Our interest in having Michael on the show stemmed from learning more about the successful habits he has built over the years to perform at a high-level and create the life he wanted for himself. In our conversation we discussed:The destructive nature of dating apps and pornography on menBuilding successful habits to run multiple businesses while being a great father & husbandThe principals of a healthy relationship & the secrets to building a lasting relationshipLessons he wants to pass down to his children & how to be a leader a role model for his kidsHow to radically improve your life through transforming your healthMichael's favorite books & resources and why reading has unlocked so much value in his lifeWe hope you enjoy this conversation and if you get value out of it, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify 😊Link to Dear MediaLink to The Skinny Confidential Him & Her PodcastSome of Our Favorite Episodes of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast:Peter AttiaPaul SaladinoMark SissonDr. Will ColeLewis HowesChapters:00:00:00 - The Importance of Fitness and Wellness in Daily Life00:09:42 - The Importance of Mental and Physical Resilience00:19:15 - The Skill of Selling in Business00:28:33 - The Importance of Curiosity and Creating a Unique Experience00:37:54 - The Journey of Building a Podcast Business00:47:14 - Focus on Servicing People00:56:53 - Navigating Relationships and Distractions01:06:46 - Finding Purpose in Family01:16:34 - The Importance of Real World Preparation01:25:53 - Interview with gratitudeConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFold App - Earn Bitcoin on all of your purchases by using the Fold Debit Card - it's simple, easy, and a fun way to earn bitcoin as you spend money on healthy foods!

Dr. Kirten Parekh is the co-founder of Klora and practicing podiatrist in New Jersey. Dr. Kirten's gut health story started overseas when he contracted food poisoning during an elective surgical rotation. He ultimately ruined his gut microbiome through antibiotics, which led him down a path of ill-health and months of gut issues. Since then, Dr. Kirten has become passionate about helping others with gut related issues, and in today's episode he and Brett dissect the growing epidemic of gut related problems.

On this episode of the podcast, Brett and Casey Ruff's discuss Brett's story from putting his Ulcerative Colitis in remission to starting the Meat Mafia and launching Noble Origins. If you haven't heard Brett's full story, he lays it all out in this conversation, enjoy!This was from Brett's appearance on Casey Ruff's podcast The Boundless Body Podcast. For more on Casey, check out his site for his personal training here called The Boundless Body. Intro:The hosts introduce guest Brett Ender, co-founder of the popular Meat Mafia podcast and new supplement company Noble Origins. They provide background on Brett's journey from being an athlete struggling with autoimmune disease to finding health through a carnivore diet.Brett's Healing Journey:Brett shares how ulcerative colitis derailed his college athletic career. Despite medications, he still experienced flare ups. In 2019 he tried the carnivore diet on the advice of Dr. Paul Saladino's appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. Eating fatty cuts of meat dramatically improved his symptoms and inflammation. Brett eventually stopped all medications under doctor supervision, realizing food can be powerful medicine.Starting Meat Mafia:After college, Brett reconnected with his old baseball teammate Harry. They shared interests in fitness, nutrition, and carnivore. Training for an Ironman triathlon cemented their bond. This inspired them to start the Meat Mafia brand on Twitter in 2021, writing educational threads on the food system. They built an audience of 130k followers. In March 2022, they launched their podcast which now has over 200 episodes.Food System Revelations:Brett explains his learnings about the corporatization of food. A few big companies control most brands, using cheap processed ingredients to maximize profits. Government subsidies exacerbate this issue. It has come at the expense of small farmers and makes consumers disconnected from their food. Brett recommends seeking out local ranchers and building personal relationships.Visiting Regenerative Ranches:Brett describes visiting regenerative farms and seeing farmers' passion and care. The symbiosis between the animals and land was eye-opening. Local community-supported ranches provide nutrient-dense foods and value beyond just food. Brett encourages listeners to visit local ranches and see the effort behind quality regenerative products.Introducing Noble Origins:Brett introduces his new company, Noble Origins, created alongside Meat Mafia co-founder Harry and friend Colin Stuckert. They wanted to produce a physical product representing their nutrition philosophy. Noble Origins makes powders containing beef organs and collagenous animal parts like bone and blood. This provides nutritional density lacking in muscle meat alone. The powders aim to conveniently deliver benefits of nose-to-tail carnivore eating.Building the Brand:Brett discusses their modern, mainstream branding for Noble, unlike many primal/rustic brands in the space. This attracts a wider audience beyond just hardcore carnivores. They want to keep the product line simple, focusing on creating the most nutrient-dense powders possible. The positive feedback at KetoCon was rewarding. While building a successful business, their mission is spreading regenerative nutrition.Corporate vs. Entrepreneurship:The hosts ask Brett about transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship. Brett weighs the trade-offs. He advises assessing your risk appetite and timeline for generating income. Finding a meaningful mission is key to overcoming uncertainty. While difficult, for Brett the fulfillment of pursuing his passion outweighs corporate comforts. He encourages those feeling an entrepreneurial “itch” to take the leap.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

On today's episode of the podcast we were joined by the founder and CEO of Promix - Albert Matheny. Albert started his journey into the world of health and fitness as a collegiate athlete at the University of Florida, where he ran track and majored in Food Science & Human Nutrition and Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology. His passion for performance and nutrition accelerated him into starting a gym in NY and ultimately his highly regarded supplement company, Promix. We had a great conversation with Albert talking about nutrition, performance, launching businesses, and much much more - enjoy! Albert took an unconventional path to starting Promix, getting hands-on experience in food science, receiving nutrition certifications, and even packing protein powder himself early on. This approach gave him deep expertise.He focuses on meeting customers where they are - providing better nutrition options rather than trying to totally change behavior overnight. Small changes over time can add up.Having autonomy and working with good people who push you are important. Albert enjoys working across multiple brands and projects simultaneously as it fuels creativity.Belief is crucial - putting yourself in proximity to success helps build confidence you can also get there. Starting something like a podcast requires just showing up consistently.Major shifts happen through everyday products and brands people use, not politics. Albert aims to subtly influence perspectives on nutrition via accessible products.Taking smart risks is easier when you have a fallback. The bar to start something like a podcast or social media account is very low today. Getting started can build momentum.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

When you listen to Khalil Rafati's story you'll likely be in disbelief. At 33, he was broke and broken. At 109lbs, he had spent the past several years battling a serious drug problem, which ultimately derailed him and left him on the streets of California. His battle with drug addiction sent him on a downward spiral with no end in sight. It wasn't until June 18th, 2003, when Khalil finally snapped. He had reached the end of the road and decided enough was enough: he had to get sober. He tossed all of his prescriptions in the trash and left the hospital, accepting an impending struggle. The next few days left him in the darkest place of his life. The absence of the prescriptions and heroin left him on his knees - in the darkest place of his life. It was the beginning of his turnaround, but it didn't come without a cost. The pain he suffered through those withdrawals propelled him forward. He surrendered to God and began making some serious changes in his life. After getting sober, Khalil began to reconstruct his life and now he's a successful entrepreneur, owning the smoothie bar, Sunlife Organics, author of the book I Forgot to Die, and angel investor in several incredible brands. Our conversation with Khalil was moving. It's a powerful story of overcoming adversity and committing to a healthy life. We talk about how he incorporated animal-based nutrition into his diet to anchor his health as he began to rebuild his life into one he could never have dreamed of just a few years prior.

Dean Brennan is the CEO of Heart and Soil, and the heart and soul of one of the most exciting CPG brands in the health & wellness space. It all started for Dean when he met Paul Saladino, and a few other key early members of the heart and soil team, in a sauna in Austin. Dean was working a full time job at the time, but figured he could find a way to help these three guys out in some way. He wanted to make it work, so he did. Dean stepped in and started helping in any capacity he could in the early days. It was that early effort that made it clear that he needed to be working with Paul and the Heart and Soil team. And from there the rest is history! Dean has contributed in growing the vision for the brand from $0 to $50m per year business, and they are just getting started. It's beyond exciting to see their brand and message grow and evolve, but more importantly have an impact on influencing people to become healthier versions of themselves.

Robbie Kroger is a documentarian and a fierce conservationist. He also just so happens to love hunting. Robbie is the visionary behind the documentary series Blood Origins. Blood Origins is a deeply important series of stories that sets out to portray the lives of hunters. The goal? Robbie wants the collection of stories to serve as a series of inspiration that speaks to why people love hunting & why we should protect it. As you could imagine, the stories that Robbie has himself through recording the show, and hunting in all different corners of the world, are insane. In our episode, we talk about how Robbie got started hunting as a South African immigrant to Mississippi, the legacy that his grandfather passed down to him, and some of the wild stories he's seen first hand through hunting. His documentary series won an award in 2018/2019 from TMVA for Best Hunting Video of the Year, which speaks to the quality of the stories Robbie is able to find and tell. If you are into hunting or curious about why we should place more emphasis on supporting hunters, please listen to this episode and share it with a friend.

Dom Fusco found himself in a dark place during his transition from college athletics to establishing himself in the real world. After battling some injuries during college, his resiliency and desires to play collegiate football were tested. While his buddies competed on the field, he quietly worked to regain his health. He struggled. Dom found himself in a place he never wanted to be: partying, injured, and unsure of what the next steps would look like for him. Would he play football again? Dom battled to regain his footing and found himself lost, until one day a buddy of his sent him a Gary V clip that sparked the change he needed to start to rebuild himself and his passion for life. The Gary V clip led to Dom starting podcasting, which led to him to the realization that he had a knack for media. He continued to lean into his passion for health, which ultimately led him to joining the Upspace team just over a year ago. It was a pleasure getting to hear Dom's story and his insights into navigating the early part of his 20s. It's clear he's on a path to do big things, but it didn't come without agonizing through some tough months trying to find his way in this world. Dom is now the host of the Pure Ambition Podcast and one of the Founders of Upspace - an app focused on helping creators in the health and wellness space build communities of value. If you're in your 20s looking for inspiration on finding what's next for you and how to get there, check out this episode with Dom!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

We feel strongly about supporting the growth of talented young guys with big dreams. Men in their early 20s today are faced with a mounting number of traps that society has set for them, and it's easy to fall into those traps without the proper friend group, motivations, and guidance. That's why we were excited to have on Matt Worthington, a 24 year old author, podcaster, super connector, and entrepreneur based here in Austin. Matt's the author of the book Ultra Productive and host of the Riser Podcast. He's been featured in New York Weekly Magazine and Business Insider. Just an all-around great dude as well! We were first introduced to Matt through a random encounter at the gym, and have since attended one of his famous Jeffersonian-style dinners he hosts in town to bring together a diverse group of change makers in the Austin area. Matt's maturity and discipline have granted him success early in his 20s, and the fun part is he's just getting started. We wanted to bring Matt on as an example of a young man carving out an unconventional path. He shared his insights into frameworks he's used and lessons he's learned to put him in a place to continue to meet great people and build community in Austin. If you're a young guy in his 20s, please give this one a listen!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Brian Sanders is the founder of the Sapien Center in Austin, Texas, a health and social club that brings together like-minded health enthusiasts. Brian became interested in launching a physical space after spending nearly 6 years working on his upcoming documentary Food Lies, launching his brand Nose-to-Tail, and starting his podcast Peak Human. His passion for re-writing the health narrative was born out of his own health journey that started after both his parents encountered life-altering diagnoses. Since then, Brian has focused his energy on getting more information in the hands of people looking to make a change, and now his community space serves as the epicenter of healthy living in Austin, Texas. In our episode with Brian, we discuss the importance of creating a third place, why community is just part of the bigger picture of health, and the power of learning how to hunt for your own food.

If you’ve spent any time scrolling through health accounts on social media, you’ll see it plastered everywhere. “America’s Hormone Crisis is getting worse”. And, the sad thing is, it’s true. We are seeing a sharp decline in overall health, and as a byproduct, our hormone health is suffering. Obesity? On the rise. Chronic diseases? Up. Hypertension? Even more up. Our health as a country is facing some serious problems, but we have a path forward.In our conversation with Dr. Jacey Folkers, we discussed how to take ownership of your life and your health. Dr. Jacey brings a holistic approach to health, which starts with blood panels, food sensitivities, and nutritional guidance. If further interventions are needed to improve quality of life through supplementation, peptides, or hormone replacement therapy, he and his team at Blokes consults with patients to make informed protocols to support their clients. We love Dr. Jacey’s approach to health and well-being, and can not emphasize enough the importance of getting blood work done as a preventative lifestyle measure. In this episode, we took a wide range of topics and brought them into the conversation of what’s currently happening with our health in the US and what you can do to make changes to avoid getting trapped in the cycle of ill health.

Angelo Keely found himself in a bad place. At the age of 16, Angelo found himself beaten and stabbed. His abdomen ripped open, Angelo found himself fighting for his life. It marked a turning point in Angelo's life. He had to rebuild himself from scratch from that day forward with very little support. It was on him. Angelo's recovery has led him to many places - silent 10-day meditation retreats, traveling through the Himalayas, living in France, and launching Kion. Angelo's recovery started with improving his diet and lifestyle, but he dabbled in just about everything: barefoot running, yoga, breathwork to martial arts. Angelo turned his trials into triumphs by truly challenging himself to answer the tough questions and keeping an open mind to new experiences to grow. His story of starting Kion epic and inspiring. For anyone looking to learn more about overcoming adversity, launching a business, and (most importantly) tapping into optimal health through diet and lifestyle, this ones for you. One of the best parts of the conversation is when Angelo takes us through a deep dive of 'what is an essential amino acid?' and 'why do we need essential amino acids?'. This was a rollercoaster of a conversation with so many unique pieces of value - we hope you enjoy!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Joe and Serenity Carr seem to be doing exactly what they were meant to do: building the healthiest baby food company on the market. Both have dealt with their share of health struggles. Both were sick as children, eating readily available junk food and not minding much attention to their health. Serenity and Joe's food choices as children ultimately led to ill health. Serenity struggled with leaky gut and inflammation after her poor diet put her on antibiotics. Joe struggled with a poor diet, which ultimately led to complications when it came to managing his diagnosis with a form of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Both found themselves looking for answers. It wasn't until they discovered the power of the Paleo diet that the light bulb went off: food is medicine. As young parents, Joe & Serenity felt an obligation to feed their family the best food possible, yet when it came to finding baby food they found nothing that met their standards. What started out as a personal need, quickly turned into a serious business opportunity and the creation of their business: Serenity Kids. As you'll hear during our conversation, we discussed each of their journeys to finding good health, overcoming adversity in life and business, and the spiritual practice of entrepreneurship & starting a family.Serenity KidsConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein SPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

J Gulinello practices nutritional therapy and Masters Degree in Clinical Human Nutrition. His interest in nutrition and helping people get healthier has given him a wide lens of the world of food. He's now growing passionate about the current battle taking place over the control of our food system. J recently spoke at our ALT Health Summit with Zane Griggs about what's really happening with our food system at a global scale. In the conversation between J and Zane, they discussed C40 cities, the conflicts of interest plaguing the food system, and what we can do about the current disaster destroying our access to high-quality nutrition.The Meat Mafia YouTubeJ Gulinello's SubstackJ Gulinello's InstagramConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

How do you possibly summarize Tucker Max's story? Let me give it a shot. Yes, he's sold millions of books. Yes, he's now living on a ranch. But, the details of his wild and illustrious life aren't easy to put into words. His first book was published in 2001. Unlike most ranchers, Tucker's first book has nothing to do with farming, animal agriculture, or growing your own food. No. Tucker's first book was called The Definitive Book of Pick-up Lines, which was then followed by Belligerence and Debauchery: The Tucker Max Stories and then his most famous books I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and Assholes Finish First. So, what happened between Tucker writing books about drinking beers, partying, and womanizing, and starting a ranch in Texas? Well, that's what we set out to discover in this conversation. We unpacked Tucker's life before writing, which includes an incomplete law career and failed attempts at corporate life. As you'll hear in our conversation, we spent a good deal of time discussing where people get stuck in their careers and why people struggle to make change. In many ways, Tucker's early career set him on a path to desperately find his calling. And, he certainly found it in writing. He's written and sold millions of copies of books, started a publishing agency, and become an authoritative figure in the world of written media. But, that doesn't really do Tucker's full story justice. He's also launched a successful podcast called The Mating Grounds, had a movie made about his stories, and been an outspoken visionary for the Paleo movement, psychedelics as a tool to heal emotional trauma, and the growth of Jiu-Jitsu as a sport. His life now looks very different than what it once was. He's a father and a farmer. He raises his own food and spends most of his days solving problems on his farm and spending time with his kids. His movement through different phases of life has caught the attention of many, and his insights on life drive home a powerful message on the power of change and growth. We really enjoyed this conversation and we think you will too!InstagramTwitterWebsiteAudible BooksConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein SPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Eric Hinman is a high performer. He's launched businesses, partnered with impressive brands, and competed in Ironman and CrossFit competitions. One of the most impressive things you'll notice about Eric is his ability to curate the lifestyle he wants to live. He lays out exactly how he wants to live his life and then meticulously works backward on achieving it. His typical day includes some time on the mountain bike, a few minutes in the sauna (followed by a few minutes in the ice bath), lifting some heavy weights, and then getting after it with connecting and growing brands. He works with brands like Ice Barrel, HVMN, Kane, BLOKES, and Sisu Sauna! He came on our show a few months back, and now we were able to have him come speak at our ALT Health Conference in Nashville.

We are living through a hormonal crisis. The noticeable decline in optimal hormone levels has been shown in several studies, yet it seems to be a problem people are comfortable ignoring. The harsh reality of the situation is the societal-level effect of wide-scale hormone imbalance: infertility, depression, mood changes, & much more.We were joined by Dr. Jacey Folkers and Dr. Brittney McGetrick at our ALT Health Summit in Nashville to discuss what's happening and what we can do about it. Dr. Jacey & Dr. Brittney have both been on the podcast before, but in this conversation, we dive deep into what hormones are, the critical role they play in the body, and how our modern environment is plaguing the state of our hormone health. Dr. Jacey is the co-founder of Blokes, a male hormone optimization business that specializes in blood work diagnostics and root cause analysis for hormone health. Dr. Brittney is a Gonstead Chiropractor with a practice that focuses on healing hormone health naturally for women.

Gregg Schoenberg sold his company the Financial Revolutionist for millions of dollars. He's had mountains of success and lived a remarkable life from living in Spain for 6 months with his wife, taking care of his mother before she passed, working with Ray Dalio, launching an executive coaching business & starting a wildly successful financial newsletter. Gregg has lived a handful of different lives. He broke into Wall Street after attending Washington University and Cornell. After chasing money and working for a big bank, Gregg realized (at 40) that he was not living the life he wanted to live. While the money was good, he could see what the next decade of his life would look like if he stayed at the bank. So he left. With no real plan in mind for what was next, he spent 6 months preparing for his next endeavor, while living in Spain with his wife and young kids. His time away from Wall Street gave him the space he needed to explore different outlets. The challenges of life set in when Gregg chose to move back home with his mother to take care of her while she was sick. It was during this time that Gregg discovered his gift for writing. After sending a few e-mails to friends offering opinions on the growing FinTech Industry, Gregg realized he had lighting in a bottle. He launched his newsletter, The Financial Revolutionist, and over the next several months grew it to over 130k subscribers and hosted several events. The business later sold for millions of dollars, which set Gregg up for his next entrepreneurial adventures. As you'll hear in our interview, Gregg has a special gift for how he treats people. It's been one of the keys to his success in life and in business. If you are looking to take a risk and become a business owner (or already own a business), this podcast is for you!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Ken Berry and Zane Griggs are two of the most influential thought leaders in the world of diet and nutrition. When it comes to eating a diet to live a badass life into your 50s (and beyond), Ken and Zane are the guys to talk to. As you'll hear in our conversation with Ken and Zane, food is the bedrock of the quality of our lives. It either dilutes our energy over time or sustains it. While most of modern health focuses on prescriptive measures to maintain people's quality of life, Ken and Zane want to put the power back into your own hands. Check out Ken and Zane's new book Kicking Ass After 50. It was an absolute pleasure to have both of these gentlemen join us in Nashville for our ALT Health Summit, which consisted of speakers like Eric Hinman, Alex Feinberg, Nick Nanakos of ZIKI Kitchens, Ann and Weldon Warren of Holy Cow Beef, Charles Mayfield of Farrow Skincare, Wyatt Ewing of Ice Barrel, Dr. Nazlie from Biovanta, Andy Schoonover of CrowdHealth, and many others!

Very few people see the other side of a traumatic health event like a stroke and get to see there health improve. Such was the case for Weldon Warren. After years of not paying close attention to his health, Weldon found himself in the hospital in rough shape. He had just experienced a stroke and, while his wife Ann stayed positive, she feared the worst. The news was hard to hear. At the time, Weldon was working as a money manager. His career was demanding and required his full faculties to do the job well - after all he was managing over $100m for various pension funds across the US. On top of his health worries, Weldon felt the pressure of his career looming as many of us do. It was right after 9/11 and Weldon had the responsibility of managing pension funds for several airline pilots in the industry. Now was certainly not the time for a health scare.As life does, the health struggle marked an inflection point for the young couple. Up until this point, they were mindful of how they treated their health, but with young children at home, a demanding job, and having just suffered a stroke, Ann and Weldon were determined to make lifestyle changes and find answers to 'what it means to live a healthy life'. It would have been easy for Ann and Weldon to turn to the pharmaceutical companies and doctors for answers, but after leaving the hospital the couple decided to do some research on their own. The doctors had famously told Weldon that “nutrition had nothing to do with his stroke”, but Ann and Weldon were not convinced. Since then they have been on a mission exploring the power of high-quality food and proper nutrition. They became so empowered by the mission that they ultimately established roots in Lubbock, Texas to begin raising and growing some of their own food. Now, they run one of the first commercially available grass-fed, grass-finished beef (never corn fed) operations called Holy Cow Beef. The couple was famously one of the first beef providers for Whole Foods Market (before they were bought by Amazon), and now they spend their time spreading awareness around the importance of incorporating more animal protein and fat for long-term health.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinInstagramTwitterHoly Cow's WebsiteSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - CODE MAFIA for 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

The creator economy is a crowded space. Where do you even get started? If you spend a few minutes, or hours (no judgment), scrolling Instagram, it's easy to tell there are a lot of people working on growing a following. However, very few people seem to have tapped into doing it in an authentic way. Matt Choi, our guest on the podcast today, seems to be a natural at it. He started his journey as a creator by blending his passion for physical fitness with his first love: football. As a collegiate athlete, Matt felt he had let some of his potential as an athlete squander. After getting laid off as a personal trainer, Matt focused his energy on bettering himself and reconstructing the man in the mirror. As you'll hear in our discussion, the high-energy, enthusiastic, and relentlessly positive Matt Choi you see on camera, was formed after a college football career that tested Matt's attitude and character. But, that failure did not define him. One of the many things we love about Matt as a creator is his willingness and ability to just throw himself into the fire. He does not hold himself back from new challenges and embraces the process of sharing his growth progression, not simply showcasing all his "wins" (of which he has many). Matt has done 30 days straight of the Murph Challenge and now he's working towards running a marathon a month, and documenting the entire process along the way. His attitude toward life, business, and family is infectious, and any creator or business owner looking to refocus on "building the foundation" will take a lot of value from this conversation. By the time you finish listening to this conversation, we hope you ask yourself two questions: 1) when was the last time you turned a failure into a win and 2) do you know who you are? - if you don't have a good answer to either question it's okay! We challenge you to take a risk on something you feel you have been putting off or want to do.

Since the average age of the American Rancher is nearly 60 years old, it's easy to understand why ranchers have been slower to leverage the power of the Internet to grow their businesses. This has created a real opportunity for younger ranchers to tap into the world of social media without much competition. RC Carter is the founder of Carter Country Meats where he sells his regeneratively-raised beef, and he's somewhat of a wizard on social media. He's put out several viral clips about what's happening in the beef industry, and his information has inspired a wave of other people to start speaking out about the various things that are happening in our food system. It's hard to envision a world where people prioritize nutrient density and regeneratively raised food over the caloric-dense, nutrient-poor processed food model. But, conversations like this one give us hope that we can get there.

There was something about the process that made him fall in love with food. The art. The freedom. The ability to speak the universal language of flavor. Unlike most people with degrees in Economics from Fordham, Myles graduated college without complete conviction in pursuing a career on Wall Street. While the opportunity was certainly there for Myles, he felt called to pursue a different path. That path wasn't conventional, but it felt right. His untapped curiosity for the world of food led Myles to the rich culinary world of Mexico. He spent months studying and training in the kitchen with some of the more talented chefs in Mexico, developing a deep appreciation for the art of creating simple and delicious food through timeless traditions & techniques. He was immediately inspired. As Myles refined his skills in Michelin-star kitchens in Mexico, his appreciation for the elements of quality food shifted. How can you take something as simple as a taco and create an experience that will live with someone for the rest of their life? It's a sensory piece of art that only food can provide. It wasn't simply the food that spoke to him. Myles saw what food meant to culture and bringing people together too. It's as if good food had a way of bridging two separate experiences, two separate lives, and in a moment, turning them into one shared connection. It's this element of cooking that Myles brought back with him to Austin. As you'll here in the podcast, Myle's experience in Mexico taught him that food is a bridge for human connection. It inspired him to share his knowledge and love for food with friends and family. But that's not all he was sharing with them. The meals and dishes he made are all part of a story. A journey in developing an intuition for life and exploring creativity. A story about where you've been, what you've seen, and the taste for things that inspire you. Our conversation with our friend Myles explored the art of food, the power of creativity, and the process of not only finding, but also pursuing, a life you love. Myles is one of the most cool & inspiring guys we know and it was an absolute pleasure to share this conversation with him.
