Ep 415Discover How to Grow in More Ways Than 1
My Time With Mark Bell Last Week Last week, Devon and I flew out to Sacramento so I could appear on Mark Bell's world famous show: The Power Project. It was something that I had visualized often and it came as no surprise to me that my thoughts manifested. I have always liked and respected Mark's open, honest and intelligent approach to health and fitness. Plus, he's a heck of a successful entrepreneur! In today's episode, I break down the trip, the memories, the behind the scenes, fly on the wall, look at everything. And I will be sure to post the show once it's released.
Ep 414My Thoughts on Testosterone and Ozempic
I started using testosterone over a decade ago after competing as a natural bodybuilder for many years. And it has been a game changer! Let's be clear, TRT is the same thing as anabolic steroids and PEDs. Another hot topic that people have been requesting I talk about is Ozempic. If you want to know what I think about it, listen up! In today's episode, I go over all the benefits, risks and clarify some issues on the topic. PS- I am taking on 5 new clients, shoot me a message if you want to have a chat! 908-229-6666
Ep 413The Most Underrated and Powerful Form of Exercise
In today's episode I teach you about the most underrated form of exercise that nearly everyone can do, with few exceptions. Jesus did it constantly. Einstein was notorious for it. Steve Jobs came up with his greatest ideas while doing this. To find out what I am talking about and for some new insights on it if you already know what I am talking about, you will have to take a listen!

Ep 412Fitness and Armageddon
In today's episode, I bring back a fan favorite: conspiracy theories and how what I've been teaching for decades can help you survive Armageddon. My video crew recently asked me what I am really passionate about these days, and this is it. I study this and do my research. If you have been living inside a box or haven't broken free from the Matrix, then this should help you in that regard. It's time to connect the dots.
Ep 411God is a Silversmith
Last Friday, I had a great Coaching call with a friend and client from Missouri, Isaac. We went down the rabbit hole on a bunch of different things, much of which is too much to share here. But one of the topics we got to talking about was Jesus, vibrational energy and how God builds us up. Isaac made the great analogy of God being a Silversmith. If you hold the spoon or ladle over the fire too long, it gets ruined. The struggles you are having is the flame. You are the silver, God is putting you through exactly what you need to go through to become the best version of yourself. Struggle is essential. I recorded a short podcast for you on my thoughts around this topic. If you feel stuck, frustrated and anxious about where you are at in your life at this moment, then take a listen, I think it will bring you some comfort.

Ep 410Goals are Not the Differentiating Factor for Success
People that succeed set goals. People that don't succeed set goals. Goals are not the differentiating factor when it comes to succeeding. So, what is the answer? In today's episode I break it all down. Your path is the answer, the process. And remember, the purpose of setting any goal is to increase your level of happiness. Always check yourself before you wreck yourself. Be Unconventional...

Ep 409Fasting for 100 Straight Days
I had the pleasure of interviewing Pascal Bachman, a man that is currently 80 or so days into a 100 day fast! Yes, you read that right! And, while I love fasting, I have no visions of doing a 100 day fast. So the next best way for me to learn about something of that magnitude was to interview someone that is doing it. In the episode, we go over blood work, mindset, sleep and performance when in the depths of a really long fast. 'Your intention determines the result' - Pascal
Ep 408My Experience with the Dangerous and Beautiful Mt. Washington
Last weekend, we went up to Mt. Washington to attempt to climb it for the 4th year in a row. Our crew has grown up to 14 men, ALL who want to challenge themselves. Is it what I felt like doing? Of course not, it would be so much easier to have a lazy Saturday at home (what's that like???). As usual, there were many lessons learned, many insights gained. When you put yourself into a corner, where it feels like you are up against the world's heavy weight champ, your mind has no other option but to go inward. It's a meditative experience, any type of serious challenge. That's the beauty of it.
Ep 407Situation Update: Armageddon
We are living through perilous times, Biblical times, in my humble but accurate opinion. I love studying this stuff and have a very good intuition when it comes to what is going on. Love me or hate me, I was 100% right with everything I said about Covid from the very start of it. In today's episode, I break down some of what I think is going on, what is going to happen and why I have this month and April marked as 'high alert and readiness' months. Things aren't going back to the way they were before all of this kicked off, so mind as well get your mind ready and prepared. If you want help with your mindset, shoot me a text, 908-229-6666.

Ep 406Self-Mastery is a Journey
And James Dorsett is a walking, living testament to self-mastery. In this episode, I chat with James about fatherhood, chasing your dreams and the chaos within the world. You have to give credit to a man that is a single father and that gave up the comforts of a JOB to pursue his passion. P.S. - I have the next round of the Panda Challenge beginning next Monday. If you would like to join people from all over the globe and are ready to drop massive weight heading into the summer, then apply for one of the 5 remaining spots here, I am happy to talk about it with you and see if it's a good fit: https://panda.newellstrength.com/register P.P.S. - DADS, you have one more week to get into our Ripped Dads contest.

Ep 405Money Won't Bring You Happiness but Happiness Will Bring You Money
Money Won't Bring You Happiness but Happiness Will Bring You Money I had the pleasure of interviewing Kelly Siegel of 'Harder than Life'. His story is amazing and everything he touches turns to a success. Kelly lives an extremely disciplined life, is at the gym every morning at 5 AM, following his morning journaling and meditation and even gave up booze back in 2019, for good! Kelly has been on quite the journey and as he says, 'Is the ultimate student'. I walked away with notes for personal use, ordered his book right away and joined his private app, he was that good! If your past is holding you back, then listen to Kelly's story of childhood abuse and neglect and how he was able to use it to transform his life. Some of the other things we go over include: -Our favorite superheroes and why…. -Favorite WWE wrestlers… -The GOAT of bodybuilding…. -And an amazing way to leverage every single book that you read. I walked away from this interview buzzing! Kelly's energy is contagious and he is creating a movement. You can search Harder than Life for both his book and app. And definitely give him a follow on IG at kelly.siegel.71 If you are ready to join me on my 5-week Panda Challenge, you can apply here: The Panda Challenge
Ep 404Want to Live Longer?
Late last week, I had an interview with a top level longevity doctor, Akash Bajaj, from out on the west coast. We talked about a lot of stuff, mindset, hormones and what he does to help his patients and clients live better, more vibrant lives. And he's got a really cool story that he tells at the beginning about how he was literally a witness to the twin towers coming down on 9/11 and being a first responder on the scene. Amazing stuff! You can follow Dr. Akash on IG at akashbajajmd. P.S. - If you haven't gotten my free training program, you can download it here: https://www.thepandamanofficial.com/top-secret-special
Ep 403The Story of How I Met Devon
15 years ago, I met Devon. Even though it seems like a year ago! Being that today is Valentine's Day, I figured I would share our little love story with you on today's show. As with anything, there are lessons embedded and the top students will always be able to pull those lessons out and apply them to their own lives. Patterns were the reason we found each other and patterns were why I tried to break up with her. Take a listen and you will understand why.
Ep 402Fasting for the Apocalypse with Layne Bullger
Last week, I had a great talk with my friend from Alabama, Layne. We had been wanting to do a podcast for a while, and the timing eventually worked out. In this episode, we go over why fasting is the #1 thing you should put in your toolbox if and when SHTF. We also go over our views and thoughts on what is going on in the world and a few predictions. That might not be your cup of tea, no hard feelings if that's the case. If you like this episode and want to hear more of them like this, let me know! You can check Layne on and get in touch with him through is Instagram @lanebullger And if you haven't gotten your copy of my FREE book, loaded to the gills with fasting information and my methods, then all you have to do is go here: FREE BOOK
Ep 401You Must Get Healthy to Lose Weight with Dr. Tim Jackson
Get Healthy to Lose Weight Last week, I had the pleasure of having renowned functional medicine Doctor, Tim Jackson, on my show. Tim and I have a deep interest in each other's work, in fact, I was on his show back in the fall to talk about all things fasting. We go into a lot of very interesting things in this episode, including gut health, the quality of the air you breathe and how to make sure your mitochondria is functioning at their peak. You are, afterall, only as healthy as your mitochondria say you are. I know that from all my fasting and cold tub therapy that my mitochondria have become younger. We go into it in more depth and I think you will find some stuff that you can put to use right away. Don't forget to leave a review if you like what I am doing, it helps me out a lot!

Ep 400The Odyssey
When one of my great friends and mentors, Sweet Lou, asked me to out to Ohio with him this past week, I had no idea how busy of a week I was going to have. But, as my schedule filled in over the months since he asked me, I realized that it was going to be 'a lot'. I had just gotten back from South Carolina and quickly had to turn around the next morning, train, hang with the kids for an hour before school and then back off to another airport. On the way, we were just about there when we found out our flight was canceled. I told Devon that it looked like with the snow we wouldn't be going. Well, we did wind up going and it was awesome. In today's episode, I start off by telling you about our Odyssey to get out to Ohio and some of my key takeaways from the fellow men and pastors. This one will hit you with a lot and hopefully it causes you pause and reflection. Take what is useful for you at this moment and discard the rest.
Ep 399The Roots of My Mindset
Way back in 1997, I went to the library to take out a book. Imagine. Now I have about 3 books delivered to the house each week, ha! What was the book? It was a book by Dr. Dennis Waitley, I don't recall the name of it. It was about visualization. Odd book for a teenager, no? Well, that really set me on to tapping into the power of the mind and it's something that I have been studying and applying ever since. In today's episode, I share with you some of the key experiences and moments in my life that have helped me to develop my Mind.

Ep 398Amazing Interview with Dr. Dean Jones
The week before Christmas, I had a great interview with my new friend, Dr. Dean Jones of Colorado Medical solutions. Dean had reached out a while back because he saw some of my videos and wanted to connect with another true practitioner of long form fasting. You see, many talk, but don't walk. Or at least don't 'walk it' very often. And we had both helped literally hundreds upon hundreds of direct students and clients. In this episode we go deep on so many things that you would be curious about regarding fasting, including: -peptides and all the rage about Ozempec -Inflammation and insulin resistance -Calories in vs. calories out, BS If you'd like to get a copy of Dr. Dean's amazing book, shoot a text to 720-465-1200 and he will send you over a FREE e-copy!

Ep 3973 LESSONS I LEARNED FROM SCOTT ABEL
Back in 2008/09, I hired my first personal Coach. I was very intrigued by his approach to training as well as cycle diets, since it aligned with the path that I was on but he was decades ahead of me in experience. Truth be told, what really drew me to him was his approach to the mind, body, spirit connection. The training was just icing on the cake. In fact, one of his books, 'Your Truth is Calling: Connecting the Dots to Self-Awareness', is still one of if not the best self-development book I've ever read. In today's episode, I share with you the top 3 things I learned from Scott and how I have implemented them into my life and how you can do the same. P.S. - If you decide my show is worthy, please leave a solid review. And if you take a screenshot and text it over to me at 908-229-6666, I will mail you out a FREE gift!

Ep 396How to Fast Through the Holidays
I remember back to when I was competing and trying to balance a life alongside that. I would bring tupperware everywhere with me and if wasn't a cheat day, I WAS NOT fun to go out with. I missed far too many moments trying to 'stick with my diet'. It was silly. I learned a lot, but I now try to FREE people from that type of mindset and that prison of dieting. In today's episode, I go over Mind Mapping, how to navigate the holidays with fasting and some of the deeper benefits of fasting as well as hormones involved. It's an awesome episode!

Ep 395What I Learned from My Talk in Houston
It's hard to believe that it was already a week ago that I was down in Houston preparing for a presentation to AAM, a large financial institution. Believe it or not, I had speaking on a large scale stage like that on my vision for 2023. Dreams do become a reality, when you take the time to invest your energy into them. So, what did I learn from my talk? A lot! And I am not really talking about the content of which I spoke, although I learn that stuff deeper each time I teach too. I am talking about my trip, my mental preparation, what I did or didn't do to get into the proper mindset. P.S. - If you are interested in the upcoming January Panda Challenge you can go here: https://panda.newellstrength.com/register P.P.S. - If you leave an awesome review, shoot me a screen shot on my cell and I will send you out a free gift in the mail! 908-229-6666
Ep 394Why Marketing is So Powerful
What I Believe About Marketing I began studying training back in 1997. I opened my business officially in 2007. In 2007, I began studying marketing. To the point that I have probably invested more time, energy and money learning marketing than I have training or nutrition. It's a passion of mine, because of how much psychology is involved. Seriously, I read a good sales letter like most guys look at porn or IG models. I get jacked about reading good sales copy. You may be thinking, 'What is sales copy?' or you may be thinking, 'YES, another marketing nerd!'. Either way, I think you'll like this episode and get some cool stuff out of it. A lot of people have been coming to me more and more for things like marketing, so I figured I will start sprinkling this type of stuff in. Don't forget to follow me on IG @thepandamanofficial and on YOUTUBE @thepandamanofficial You rock!
Ep 393How to Train for Maximal Functional LIFE Strength
25 plus years ago, I fell in love with strength training. Even at that point, I was on a never ending quest to learn the true 'Secrets' of strength. And if I've learned one thing, it's that there are no secrets. There's a better way to do things, an optimal way, especially if your goal is to have your strength and fitness carry over to everyday life, and why wouldn't that be your goal? Unless you were a professional bodybuilder. In today's podcast, I give you the lowdown on insider training wisdom that I've accumulated over the past 25 years. Take what is useful and discard the rest. Be Unconventional - Panda Man P.S. - For more information and some awesome FREE stuff, you can check out my website at www.thepandamanofficial.com
Ep 392Shenanigans and My Current Time Blocking Stragegy
A couple of weeks ago, I spent a half day with my long-time Coach, Vince. Vince has been Coaching me for over a decade. It's rare to have a Coaching relationship that lasts that long, but he always gives me insight and stuff to reflect upon. Anyhow, one of the things that we were going over was how to best utilize my days. I have 4 businesses in addition to the most important duty of being Father and Husband. People often ask me how I manage, so in this episode I go over the recent tweaks to make sure I am being as efficient as possible. I am sure you will pick something up here to put to use. In addition, it's been a while since I did a 'Silliness Report', so there's some of that in here too, including the new UN Lockdowns, Bill Gates buying up 'all' the farmland and the SpaceX rocket failing for the 2nd time. P.S. - If you are interested in making 2024 the best year of your LIFE, then start NOW. All the lights will never be green. IF you'd like a free session or two to see how you fit at Newell Strength, simply reply to this email. P.P.S. - I am sneaking in one more small, as in number of students, Panda Challenge before 2024. Actually, it will run into the first few weeks, but why wait until 24 to make the BIG change? Anyhow, I have 3 spots remaining as of this message (can't guarantee there will be any left by the time you read this). You can text me if you're interested, 908-229-6666
Ep 391A Reflection on a Vision
About a year ago, I set the goal to run my first marathon. The jury is out if it's a one and done. I know better than to make that decision while in a state of euphoria and fatigue. For now, I am just being. In today's episode of ULYIS, I go over the lessons learned and the stories made from training for my first marathon to competing in my first marathon. I am sure you will find something useful in here. And, if you leave a review (help a brother out:)), and let me know, I will send you a gift in the mail. P.S. - If you want to learn, in depth, what I teach with the fasting and feasting portion of my Panda Method, then you are assuredly going to want to get a copy of my best selling book, the Panda Diet, while you still can.

Ep 390How I Would Prep You For 2 Very Different Hollywood Roles
I remember watching the movie, Cop Land, back in the day. I took an interest because I am a big Stallone fan and it was really the first time I had heard of an actor intentionally packing on fat for a role. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to let you in on how I would get yourself or myself ready for a role of being a fat guy and also getting in tip top shape, under a deadline. There's many lessons in this episode, so take notes and apply what is relevant and useful. By the way, I am trying to get my reviews on ITunes higher, so if you leave an awesome review, let me know and I will send you out a gift or two, via the good old USPS. 🐼If you're interested in getting one of my custom, 30 day training programs, for FREE, simply go here and it will be sent straight to your inbox!

Ep 389Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands and More Silliness
While on my 13 mile run last week, I stopped for a few walking breaks and on those breaks I decided to record what was on my mind. I always find it cool and interesting to record while my mind is in an altered state, such as right after or during an intense workout or while driving and my mind is occupied. In this episode, I speak about specific adaptations to imposed demands, when it comes to training, Shoegate and the Ron DeSantis controversy over his actual height and more in the world of conspiracy. Lastly, I speak about the truth as I know it, developed through Direct Knowledge, not some shiny new textbook. I think this is super important, more and more as people have lost the ability to think critically, especially when it comes to logic and fitness. And, if you leave a solid review, text it over to me and I will either ship you out a free copy of my book or a blue Panda hat, whichever you like (908-229-6666).

Ep 388The NEW Ripped Dads Curriculum
We first ran Ripped Dads back in 2014. I remember being so pumped to get so many dads out for the program. It proved to be a LIFE changer from the outset. And since that time, my perspective has grown a lot, being a father myself. In today's episode, I lay out the new curriculum that I've put together for the Ripped Dads weekly lesson. These areas are essential in my opinion if you want to become a better man, a fantastic father, a Ripped Dad. P.S. - Men, to get a free download of my private TRT seminar, go here: https://www.thepandamanofficial.com/testosterone-therapy P.P.S. - If you leave a solid review on my show, shoot me a message and if it's the best of the week, I will send you out some Panda Man swag for FREE. Shoot me a text, 908-229-6666
Ep 387Begin to the Think Differently
As I was sitting in the sauna last week, a few thoughts popped into my head. The thoughts led to a brief conversation in my head. Which led to me sitting down and recording a podcast for you. All within the span of 30 minutes. That is just an example of thinking differently that you can access at anytime. In this particular episode, I give a few examples from my own life of thinking differently including opening up despite COVID lockdowns, publicly, to national news; taking a walk-on student athlete and making him proficient in a week, how would one go about doing that? And more, including why trying to raise your testosterone levels naturally is a fool's game. PLUS….I am doing something new to get more reviews on my ITunes. Whoever leaves the best review this week will win a FREE Blue Panda Hat, that I will ship out directly to you! DM me once you've left the review.
Ep 386Teach Me How You Got That With Barbara Majeski
Last week, I sat down for my second interview and podcast with famous TV personality and superwoman, Barb Majeski. The first time we did it over Zoom, which was cool. I felt elevated and I knew that I could learn a lot from Barb. This time, being in her presence, she is a beast! Her mindset about achievement and success is world class. She doesn't have everything she wants 'YET'. Key word here. We talk about the mindset of flying first class and also flying on your own private jet. Which if you think is materialistic, you are missing the point, it's a MINDSET! Barb talks about not having ocean front property, YET (she does own a beautiful home down the shore already), but she asks the people that have the beachfront homes how they got there. You can follow Barb on social media at barbaramajeski and keep an eye out for her new book coming out. She also has a phenomenal challenge that begins Nov. 1 that I will personally be doing. You can find more info out at www.themorelifecollective.com.
Ep 385An Important Message to Men
In today's episode of the ULYIS podcast, I have some questions for you men out there. How often are you telling your son or daughter that you love them and that you are proud of them? Do you carve out specific time for them? Did you father ever tell you that he loved you and was proud of you? What does it mean to be a man and father? This is stuff that has been on my mind and I believe it will help all you men out there. And of course, I mix in a little conspiracy theory.
Ep 384When a Vision Becomes a Reality
Two weeks ago, we took a road trip up to Connecticut to give our first seminar on a national circuit. Who's we? Me, my great friend BK from Chicago and the Turkish Ok, one of the masterminds behind the up and coming media company, Has Media. Well, you can't let a good opportunity go to waste and I believe in leveraging my time, so we decided to record an episode of ULYIS on the drive up there. We chat about many things in this off the cuff, behind the scenes conversation, including how this whole speaking tour came to be, why shame can be useful in a transformation, but you shouldn't be the one making a person feel that shame and so much more. By the way, if you're interested in learning about why diets suck and they never work, then check out my upcoming Panda Diet Challenge, there's nothing else like it. https://panda.newellstrength.com/register
Ep 383This Can't Be Real Part 1
I cannot tell you how many times in the past few years, while having casual conversations, people have said to me, 'This can't be real'. What were they referring to? Worldly events. Stuff that people are usually oblivious to, but that my endlessly curious mind cannot help but research and explore. Reality is indeed often stranger than fiction. In today's episode, I talk about corrupt politicians and what that means for you, real life Terminator robots, Elon Musk's satellite trains, testosterone and much more! Never know where it's going to go once I get on a rant!
Ep 382Have You Ever Met a Modern Day Gladiator?
As you read this, I am on the way up to Connecticut or shortly will be to give the first seminar in a series on a speaking tour my great friend Brandon and I will be doing this year. And no doubt, I am listening to a replay of a recent podcast I did with two of the world's greatest fighters, Mickey Gall of the UFC and future UFC champ, LJ Reboli. We went over the mindset of a gladiator, training, success and they even hit me with some well thought out questions. Pretty cool when pro athletes love strength and conditioning on top of their sports skills practice, which leads to some interesting conversations. If you've ever wondered what people that are the best in the world think like, then definitely check out this episode. It's off the charts, maybe the best episode yet!
Ep 381Where Your Attention Goes
A couple of weeks ago, one of my great friends, Brandon Kelly, was in town for a few days to hang with us. We took full advantage of our time together which meant a brutally hard Monday morning workout with a bunch of the guys, followed by a podcast with the two of us and another friend, Jake, from Louisiana who was in town for a Navy SEAL event. We chatted it up about LIFE, success, focus, drugs and so much more. If you take a listen you will hear my explanation of how using the analogy of a flashlight will allow you to shift your attention at any moment. This is key, because where your attention goes, energy flows and results will follow.
Ep 380Learning from a Great Father, Businessman and Athlete
A couple of weeks ago, we traveled up to Connecticut for a workout and podcast with Steve Oroscoe. Steve and I connected by chance. Someone tagged me and the Liver King in one of his posts, which was about fasting, so I decided to say hi and shoot him a message. One thing led to another and we set a date to catch a workout and shoot some film and record a killer podcast. Nothing happens unless you make it happen, remember that. Anyhow, in this episode, Steve and I talk about: -Why fasting is the WAY… -A very simple way to being fasting -The harsh, often ignored, reality about success. But when implemented, you can do ANYTHING…. -How to leap frog from one dream to the next, knowing that success is a continuous process And much, much more. Little did I know until after the episode that Steve ran for Senate up there and potentially is eyeballing the 2026 Governors seat. Yes, with his mindset, I have no doubt that he has a great shot at winning, which won't surprise you after you listen to this episode.
Ep 379How to Use the 'Beast' Philosophy of Panda to Create Killer Workouts
Back in 1998, I read a book that I got by mail order from a magazine, that shaped my foundation for my training philosophy. At the time, I was still in high school, just entering my senior year. And I had a vision of becoming the strongest bodybuilder I could become. I left no stone unturned. Anyone can slap together some exercises. That doesn't necessarily constitute a solid training program. What I always want to know is: what's the creator's philosophy behind it? Take a listen to see what my exact philosophy of training is, it'll give you a better understanding of training than 99% of 'fitness experts'. Listen, people pay me good money to write programs, take advantage of this opportunity to learn about my training methods. Listen to it until you truly understand it.
Ep 378What the Real Reason for Setting Goals Is
Back in 2014, I was lucky enough to go to a Dax Moy seminar on Mind Mapping, which ultimately transformed my life. Have you ever had a philosophy, theory or idea but couldn't quite formulate it into something coherent, even though you knew it to be true? Well, that's what Dax did for me when it came to Mind Map. In this episode, we go deep on the real purpose of goal setting and I believe once you listen to this, you will never look at goal setting the same way again and you will forever have more self-awareness which will help when you get off track, which will happen. We talk about: -The 3 I's of impact, influence and income -The dopamine treadmill and why it will burn you out and leave you feeling hopeless -Why the answer to overwhelm is never MORE -What the real purpose of any goal is -How to use the 3 'Beauty's' to set up magical days -Why structuring your LIFE around what is most important NOW is an absolute MUST And so much more. So buckle up and prepare to have your mind blown! I know mine was. Dax is one of the top Coaches in the world, his clients include British royalty and celebrities to name a few.

Ep 377What I Learned Turning 42
A week ago, I was on day 3 of a 4 day fast to bring in my new year. The past few years, I have made it a ritual to fast until my birthday, do a brutally hard training session on my birthday and go deep into my mind the night prior with the help of Magic Mushrooms. Why in the world would someone do this? I thought you were supposed to take it easy on your birthday? In today's episode, I explain my thought process behind why I do this, I explain my insights and key takeaways from the MM trip and share with you how I hurt my calf significantly and what I did about it both mentally and physically to recover in superhero time.
Ep 3763 Keys to Transforming Your Mind
People ask me about mindset far more than anything else. And truth be told, mindset is my forte. In fact, the main reason I utilize my fasting protocols is for the mind and spirit. In this episode, I cover 3 keys that anyone can do to transform their mindset. By the way, negative thoughts are completely normal and common, but it doesn't mean we have to settle for them. Take a listen and apply what I share here. But, be warned, there is work involved!
Ep 375The Silliness Report Part 2
A month or so ago I decided to start talking once in a while about worldly events, topics that I am well versed in and study daily. I am endlessly curious about all this stuff. Now, if you are only listening to the MSM, this stuff will all be new to you and might even highly offend you. If you are easily offended, then you best not listen, or you can and you can vehemently disagree with me. But I'll still be your friend:) In this episode, I talk about: UFOs, Bronny James' heart attack, the Stanford President and the Jason Aldean song. Absorb what is useful and discard the rest.
Ep 3744 Realities For Life That'll Help You On Your Journey
Ep 373From Opening 15 Locations to Living the Physically Disciplined LIFE
Steve Parente, long time friend and client, is about to open his 16th Physical Therapy location. That's incredible, I don't care who you are! I can't even imagine opening 16 gyms. And this has been done in an environment in which the big boy corporations have pretty much wiped out all the smaller mom and pop shops. When I first met Steve, he was in need of an energy boost. At first, he rejected the Panda method, thinking it was a bit crazy. Now, he has a group of friends that he supports doing the Panda! He has taken his discipline to a whole other level. Success leaves clues. And if you are after success, then you are going to want to take a listen to what he has to say.

Ep 372Playing Army Ranger for the Morning
2 weekends ago, I attempted and successfully completed the Army Ranger Challenge. It was 12 miles in under 3 hours with 40 pounds on my back. Why in the world would someone do this voluntarily, without a sanctioned event? Because, I said I would and because I have to constantly see if 'I have what it takes'. In today's episode of ULYIS, I go over the ins and outs of my adventure, my mindset, how my body held up and the self talk I played in my mind as I took step after step.

Ep 371My Wordly Predicitions for the Near Future
Not to toot my own horn, but I am going to. I am excellent at seeing patterns long before most people. I saw right through the Covid lies, literally, before it even officially began. And nearly every prediction I have made about stuff going on around the world since then has come true. Devon and my brothers would confirm this for you. So, in today's episode, I give you a sneak peak into my brain with what is happening and what I believe will happen next. I normally don't talk about this with the public, but my buddies have urged me to start talking about this and other interesting fascinations I have, more regularly. Whether you agree or disagree with what I have to say here, I hope that it gets you thinking a little bit differently. But, be warned, some of this might upset you. If you are rigid in your beliefs and would rather live inside a bubble, DO NOT LISTEN. There you have, consider yourself warned. Enjoy the show and please leave a review if you like what I am doing.

Ep 370We Are All a Work in Progress and a Masterpiece at the Same Time
In this episode, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of chatting with Barbara Majeski, TV personality and CEO/Founder of the More Life Collective. Barn drops so much wisdom in this episode that I had to call Devon right after to tell her how excited I was. Barb simply 'gets it'. You will hear how Barb overcame a devastating divorce and stage 3 cancer in the same year, which propelled her to chasing her childhood dream of becoming a TV personality. Surviving cancer made Barb check herself and make some deals with Grim Reaper himself. One of the most impactful things was making sure that she is always in alignment with whom she promised herself she would BE if she got another crack at life. Living in true alignment and calling yourself out on BS is something Barb is brilliant on. I kid you not, I was like a kid in a candy store, because she was dropping so many bombs that directly correlate to Mind Mapping. Barb talks about how the happiest people are the ones that are the most curious and that possess a growth mindset. And, 'You don't have to be the smartest person in the room, you just have to do the smart things'. 'Information' doesn't lead to a transformation…action does! 'Suspend your judgment of others, it's only poisoning you and holding you back. Rather, ask how they did 'it'.' Man, this was great, we are already planning part 2 this summer. Stay tuned. I highly recommend that you follow Barb on Instagram @barbarmajeski and check out her challenges and programs at www.barbaramajeski.com.

Ep 368Becoming the Best Version of Yourself
I met David Fishchuk through our mutual Coach a few months ago. I was impressed by how he was carrying himself and creating the life of his dreams at such a young age (he's 29). In today's episode, we sat down for a conversation in which David shared how he overcame the death of his brother, how he beat his addiction to adderall and pornography and how he now teaches his clients to drop all vices. If you are on the path of self-improvement and you think that you are the only one going through the jungle of vices, things you need to hide, know that you aren't alone. Take a listen to today's episode and gain some inspiration from David. He's a great young father that is going to be doing big things on this planet!

Ep 367How to Use Theater of the Mind
Back in 1997, I began using visualization and studying visualization to help me with becoming the best basketball player I could become. And it has been something that has been so powerful in my life that I love sharing with you guys. Recently, on our trip to Jamaica, my visions became manifest, in a HUGE way. And it all has to do with infusing your thoughts with emotion and enthusiasm, consistently. In today's episode, I go over the story of the witch doctor and my massage in which my new reality got burned into my nervous system. Believe it or not, either way you are right.
