The Meat Mafia Podcast

When everyone looks left, Colin Stuckert looks right. According to him, it's always been this way. From a young age, Colin felt a steady tug away from what people thought of as "normal". In school, business, and life, Colin has often found himself time after time wearing the contrarian hat. And, that's just the way he likes it. As an entrepreneur, Colin has dabbled in just about everything, from a gym owner to a juice bar to a supplement company and an agency. His natural appetite for risk and competition may seem like second nature, but it's been reinforced in him over time through years of taking risks, going all in, and iterating along the way. As you'll hear in our podcast with Colin, his path toward success has been anything but conventional. Even for him, the origins of his intuition around spotting an opportunity aren't fully clear. Was it the years he spent as a poker player in Las Vegas? Or was it his thousands of hours logged playing the video game Age of Empires with his friends (earning him a top spot in the global rankings)? Regardless of where Colin's edge comes from, he's got it and we spend a good portion of this episode unpacking the keys to becoming serious about finding opportunities, taking risks, and building things of value for people. It's hard to not have a conversation with Colin without getting excited about the endless world of opportunities out there. If you're struggling to break through, in need of inspiration, or not sure where to start with turning the thoughts in your head into something more than just ideas, this is the podcast for you.We're proud to announce we're launching our first product with Colin as a co-founder.

Nate Pontious has not lived a conventional life. After growing up in Illinois, Nate spent his early adult life serving in Afghanistan as a member of the Marine Corps. As you'll hear in the podcast with Nate, his return to life as a civilian left him in an unfamiliar place. The nature of the Marines provided clear objectives and direction for him, and Nate's transition to civilian life felt abrupt. Without a real idea of what he wanted to do next, Nate left his hometown in Illinois for the coasts of California in search of something different. Nate started his life in LA sleeping on the beach, hustling for money and food, and working hard to establish himself. Nate ultimately found himself falling in love with the world of CrossFit, and quickly became a top-level competitor in the sport. As you'll hear in the podcast, Nate has a gift for putting his fitness and health at the center of his life, even during hard times. The key for him is his morning routine. All of his experiences led him to start his online fitness business with his now fiance, Remi, called Home Bodies, which has since become a massive success. Now, Nate is spending his days building and maintaining his ranch in Texas.Our conversation with Nate took several directions. His stories cover the depth of the human experience: serving overseas in the Marine Corps, living homeless on the beaches of LA, competing in CrossFit, building a successful business, starting a ranch & pursuing a purpose-driven life. The gold that Nate shared with us in this conversation is a reflection of the thoughtful and purposeful nature that Nate carries with him every day. This one went deep and we hope you enjoy!HomebodiesHomebodies InstagramNate's InstagramArticle on Nate and RemiConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Danny Miranda has become a close friend of The Meat Mafia in a short period of time. He's the host of the popular The Danny Miranda Podcast where he's hosted some of the world's most accomplished entrepreneurs and business people like Sam Parr, Nick Bare, Andy Frisella, Gary Vaynerchuk, and more. Danny is an absolute force in the world of podcasting, having launched his first podcast in September of 2020 and already amassed 359 episodes and an incredible following. If you haven't already, go check out Danny's show (we promise you will quickly binge through 10 episodes in a week - it's that good)! Our favorite episode of his is the episode he recently recorded with Andy Frisella (linked below). If you are wondering, 'how do I become successful?' or 'how do I find my passion?', Danny's podcast is a wealth of inspiration and motivation. As you'll hear in our conversation, Danny's road to starting the podcast was not a straight line to success. After years of following the wrong direction, Danny hit a sticking point. His life wasn't where he wanted it to be and he didn't really know why. He was stuck. After going through Andy Frisella's 75 Hard Challenge, Danny felt alive again. He took the momentum he had built over the 75 days of internal work and put it towards starting his podcast (and he hasn't looked back since). We took a ton of value out of this conversation and can't wait to hear your feedback on this one! If you do have comments on the episode, feel free to reach out to us in the DMs on Instagram or Twitter - we'd love to hear from you!

When Michelle Allen joined us on the podcast, we were excited to dive into her perspective on launching her company Mother Culture. The origins of the company are rooted in her own family's struggles in curing some severe allergies and illness. From the start of the conversation, we knew Michelle was going to bring a wealth of knowledge. She taught us all about:- Why Raw Milk is healthy?- How to cure allergies?- Why food is medicine?- How to heal the gut with food?- How to start cooking nourishing meals for kids?- How to take risks in business?- What is the Weston A Price Foundation?- What is the GAPS Diet and why is the GAPS Diet so good for gut health?We spent a lot of time discussing the risks she took in starting her business. As a mother of 7, she went all in on her business and spent nearly every penny she had on her first piece of equipment (the one she still uses today). Whether you are looking to learn more about entrepreneurship or the power of healthy foods, you will absolutely enjoy this episode!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Nina Teicholz is the author of the groundbreaking book The Big Fat Surprise, which exposed many of the conflicts with the established beliefs around saturated fat being inherently "bad". Her work has been cited in the New York Times and several medical journals including The Lancet, The BMJ, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Nina has established herself as a thought leader in the world of nutritional policy with much of her work starting with her book and appearances on major media platforms like Joe Rogan and other major news sources. Her efforts to shift the existing narrative overshadowing the existing nutritional dogma have built an entire movement of people looking for alternatives to Big Food and Big Pharma. Nina has shed light on so many important connections and stories through history that have uncovered a larger agenda happening in the world of food. Her experience as a researcher was born out of her studies at Yale and Oxford, and now the former vegetarian (of 25+ years) is helping deconstruct the multiple layers of problematic policies destroying our health.

Wolki Farm is a regenerative farm founded in 2019 by Jacob Wolki. Originally, Jacob got into the farming space to put high-quality food on his table. He had been battling with some issues with allergies for years and years. It wasn't until he started paying more attention to the food he was putting into his body that he started to see the allergies improve. Jacob then quickly grew passionate about growing his own food and sharing his uniquely delicious and quality food with his local community. Now, Jacob is servicing his community in New South Wales with a manless butcher shop that runs on a trust system (and some cameras).

Charles Mayfield is the founder of Farrow Skincare, an animal-based skincare product that does not contain fillers, additives, and other harmful chemicals. Charles became fascinated by the benefits of lard on the skin when he made the connection between the biology of humans and pigs. The origins of Farrow all started after a long day out in the July Tennessee sun. Charles decided to use some lard from his farm to protect his skin from peeling out of necessity and it wasn't until the next day that he realized his skin never peeled and his burn had vanished. At that point, Charles realized he was on to something. Now, Charles is on a mission to bring lard-based skincare to the masses and convince people to throw away their toxic skin creams. We had an amazing conversation with Charles about sun protection, the importance of taking care of your skin, building a value-first business, and the truths about the skincare industry.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarFond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Courtney Swan is the host of the Realfoodology Podcast with a background in Integrative Nutrition. Her interest in the world of nutrition started in college where Courtney uncovered the power of nutrition and fueling the body with high-quality food. After graduating college, it did not take Courtney long before she was able to start applying her passion for nutrition to her work as a tour manager of some major up-and-coming bands. She spent several years coordinating and supporting the exhausting experience of managing musical tours, and Courtney credits her focus on nutrition and health as a key driver for her success as a tour manager. Since her early beginning in nutrition, Courtney has launched her wildly popular podcast Realfoodology where Courtney uses her podcasting and social media platforms to inspire people to live healthier lives. In our conversation with Courtney, we discussed getting enough protein in your diet, the disconnect in our food system, the vegan and carnivore diets for females, and managing hormone health. We also got Courtney's opinion on why birth control may cause more negative side effects than you realize. Check out Courtney's website where she does great product reviews, recipes, and more!

Dr. Ian Billingshurst popularized what is now known as the BARF Diet for dogs. It's a raw food diet that many believe is the species-appropriate diet for dogs to be eating. From our perspective, it's amazing to see what has happened in the world of human food transition into the world of dog food. Cheap, low-quality ingredients in pet food has led to the deterioration of animal health, however, the raw food diet seems to hold a lot of promise. In our conversation with Dr. Ian Billingshurst, we discussed his approach to uncovering the raw diet, why he believes a species-appropriate diet it the only diet to follow, and practical advice for pet owners.

Robert Breedlove is a bitcoiner and the host of the 'What is Money Show?' which covers the history of money and the theoretical implications of the advent of digital currencies, specifically Bitcoin. We had Robert on the show in August, but we wanted to do a deep dive into the importance of understanding money in the fast-changing world. With banks like Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank (among several other regional banks) feeling immense pressure, it's more important than ever to understand how money works and why we are living through a technological shift when it comes to money. If you do not understand Bitcoin, this episode should help break down why it's important to spend some time thinking about it. Our podcast is centered around health and wellness, however, we feel it's important to understand these topics in order to live a free, thriving life.

Steve Weatherford is not your average NFL punter. As a professional punter for 10 years, Steve accomplished more than most - he won a Super Bowl with the New York Football Giants, was voted the "fittest" man in the NFL, and won Walter Payton's Man of The Year Award in 2014. Since his playing days, Steve has taken his passion and love for life into the world of entrepreneurship, where he has become close friends with moguls like Jesse Itzler, Nick Bare, and Lewis Howes. His thirst for life and desire to lead other men in the right direction is incredibly honorable. Steve credits many of his recent transformations at a man and father to growing his relationship with God and becoming a stronger man in faith. We had a rich conversation with Steve and if you enjoyed it please leave a comment or review! In our conversation, we break down the keys to Steve's success and unpack the spiritual component of living a healthy and enriching life.

Breathwork and meditation have become repopularized in many health circles in the past decade and for good reason. We have both been huge proponents of the power of the breath and were excited to have Jake Whan on to take a deep dive into the world of breath work and mindfulness. In our conversation with Jake, we discussed his path towards breathwork and meditation. As a high-level collegiate athlete, physical fitness and nutrition always played a key role in Jake's life, however, it wasn't until Jake found breathwork that he realized health was much more than diet and weightlifting. We also spent time exploring the important topic of nutrition and what so many people seem to get wrong when it comes to diet.

Wyatt Rodgers faced crippling autoimmune issues at a young age. In our conversation with Wyatt, we talk about the debilitating nature of autoimmune conditions and the rising prevalence of these types of conditions. Our conversation centered around his healing process and the body's innate desire to heal when given the proper healing environment. Wyatt discovered the carnivore diet and an improved life-style played the largest factors in his ability to naturally heal himself and avoid a lifetime of pharmaceutical drugs and hospital visits. We loved this conversation with Wyatt since it touched on the emotional and powerful nature of the healing process. Wyatt is now heavily involved in music, which also played a critical role in his ability to put his autoimmune conditions behind him.

Alex Feinberg has made a name online as a coach advising men and women on ways to become healthier and financially free. But, he hasn't always been a coach. He started his career working at Google, where he quickly pivoted into a role with a Hedge Fund. Prior to his working experience, Alex played high-level Division 1 baseball at Vanderbilt, and he credits much of what he learned about life, competition, and finding success, to what he learned playing baseball. His first two jobs gave him a perspective on the world that has made him a very popular name for himself on Twitter. Alex is one of our favorite people to talk to and brings an intense, clear, and fresh perspective to what it takes to become successful.

We first met Kaely McDevitt in Fredericksburg, Texas, out at Roam Ranch, and within the first few minutes of talking it was clear that she presented a wealth of knowledge on women's health that we really wanted to tap into for our audience. We are currently experiencing some pretty startling numbers when it comes to both men's and women's fertility, and so much of it has to do with diet and lifestyle. In the last 70 years, women's fertility has decreased by 50%, and it's estimated that in vetro fertilization is supposed to double from 2018 to 2026 to a $36bn industry. The fertility crisis is truly a food and lifestyle crisis, and we dove deep into these topics with Kaely to learn more about what women can do in order to take back their fertility and hormone health.

Austin Dillon owns and operates his farm Counter Culture Farms in Nacogdoches, Texas. We first came across Austin at the What Good Shall I Do conference at Roam Ranch, and his message stunned, not only us but everyone in the room. He had our attention. What we heard from Austin that day was a young man with conviction, purpose, and a mission. He spoke about the process of regenerating his land for the last 15 years, and the real difference between plant-based agriculture and animal-based agriculture. Austin then dove deep into the connection between death and life. He explained the process of handling & experiencing death, saying: "Death is so negative in our minds, but it's just another cultivator for life in nature". When he said this, the entire room stood still. What a perfect articulation of the beautiful balance between life and death. There is not one without the other. Once we heard, Austin speak at the What Good Shall I Do Conference in April, it was clear that we needed to get him on the show. It took us longer than we wanted to, but we went out to visit Austin at his property this past December. We recorded a show with him and toured his property and, man, he is even more impressive than we remembered! Please enjoy this conversation with him and let us know what you think!

Dr. Brittney McGetrick earned her bachelors degree in Food & Nutrition from San Diego State University, where she developed a strong interest in the power of food in healing health problems. As she entered the hospital system, Brittney realized her role as a registered dietician interested in healing people was not best suited for the hospital system. Brittney then pursued learning more about Gonstead Chiropractic work after healing many health problems of her own through the practice. Now, Dr. Brittney utilizes her unique background as a dietician and a Gonstead Chiropractor to bring a more holistic approach to curing health problems she sees from her patience.

Will Harris owns White Oak Pastures and is a transformative thinker in the world of agriculture. In the 1990s, Will took his father's farming practices and began evolving them toward a input, closed-loop system (often referred to as Regenerative Agriculture today). At the time, Will didn't think much about the changes he was making on the farm. That is not to say no thought was put into the changes he was making, but Will felt that the changes he was making were intuitive as opposed to innovative. His suspicions and struggles on the farm led him to experiment with raising his animals as nature intended: in line with nature. The changes he has seen on his farm since then have been nothing short of amazing. Will has returned nutrients back to the soil and enriched the life on his land by eliminating harmful chemicals, and relying on multi-speciation and systems that support natural dependencies. In 2019, White Oak Pastures partnered with General Mills to create a Life Cycle Analysis of the amount of carbon his farm put back into the soil compared to conventional practices. This is a profound piece of research that contradicts what many people believe about agriculture and its potential impact on climate. In our conversation with Will, we discussed: - How did White Oak Pastures come to be?- Building a legacy on the land- Welfare farming & its effect on our health- A Bold Return to Giving a Damn: Changing Our Culture- Carbon sequestration, the water cycle, and returning life back to the landConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarHoly Cow Beef - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from TexasOptimal Carnivore - 10% OFF - Replace your daily vitamin with on the road, easy nutritionPerennial Pastures - 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaAFFILIATESLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA10’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Crisps - 10% OFF - Carnivore / Animal-based snacks for eating healthy on the go!Pluck Seasoning - 10% OFF - Nutrient-dense seasoning with INSANE flavor!Fond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Making it to the professional ranks in any sport is against all odds. You battle the risk of injury, the consistent competitive grind, overcoming self-doubt, and much more. Baseball in particular presents an even greater number of factors working against each athlete in order to make the professional ranks. It's an amazing accomplishment to even make the major leagues, but to become an all-star is an even more remarkable accomplishment. Enter Joe Mantiply. Joe has played 9 years of professional baseball, and at 31 years old he finally had his break-out season, leading to the first all-star appearance of his professional career. Joe credits his success to his attention to detail and consistent approach to improving through intentional and focused practice each day. Joe's story is amazing and as two ex-baseball players, we enjoyed every minute of our conversation with him dissecting his mindset on becoming an All-Star.Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein

Judy Cho is an author and animal-based nutrition expert, but she hasn't always been a nutritionist. She started out her career working as a consultant for a major consulting firm, working long, hard hours and watching her health deteriorate over time. After experimenting with a vegan diet and plant-based eating, Judy quickly realized her health was moving in the wrong direction. She battled issues with brain fog, memory loss, and chronic fatigue, to the point of depression. After months and months of low energy and poor health, Judy turned to a carnivore diet as a method of last resort and she has not looked back. In our conversation with Judy, we discuss her nutritional journey and touch on some of the major misconceptions with the carnivore diet.

Man's search for meaning is a tail as old as time. It's something we all deal with at one point or another, and ultimately it's the question that all of us face every day. Are we living a life of purpose? Are we serving others in a meaningful way? What good can I do with my time here on Earth? As a 42-year-old man, Adrian Grenier began feeling the intensity of these questions in a more visceral way. As an A-list celebrity, Adrian, or Vinny Chase as most people know him, had everything you could possibly imagine a Hollywood movie star would have. With the notoriety, accolades, and money, came with it a deep misalignment and years of struggling to reach his potential as a man. But, at 42 years old, everything changed. Adrian decided to move his life to Austin and downsize everything, going from seeking everything to striving for simple. For a full year, he lived in a camper van outside of Austin and focused on things he felt really mattered - raising his own food, learning tangible skills, and connecting with mother nature. Through his forced change, Adrian started to see his life evolve from one of fleeting materialism to deep meaning and connectedness. In our conversation with Adrian, we go deep into his hero's journey to find meaning in life and make a real impact in this world.
