Want more time, more money, more freedom, and more fun? Then this podcast episode is for you. As a long time Bruce Lee fan, I've always been an advocate for simplicity and minimalism. When things get too complex or I start accumulating too much physical or mental clutter I'm never quite as happy. I'll never forget the first time I saw the movie, Fight Club. It was like an epiphany when I heard Tyler Durden say, "We buy sh*t we don't need with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like....

As soon as I read one article by Dr. John Rusin I knew I had to have him on the podcast. He just gets it. And our training philosophies couldn't be any more aligned. I found myself nodding my head and saying, "Yes, yes, YES!" as I read each sentence. It's easy to tell someone to just do some big compound movements and go heavy. That doesn't take a genius. But if you want to avoid injuries and maximize your performance over the long term there is so much more to it. You've gotta pay strict attent...

They used to always sell us on The American Dream. You spend an inordinate amount of money to go to college and get a degree. Then you spend the next decade or so paying that off. But supposedly you'll get a really good job with that really expensive piece of paper they give you at graduation. And then you "buy" a house that costs way more money than you have. And you pay the bank to live there for the next 20-50 years. But you'll have "security" and will be able to "put down roots." You'll get ...

People hate mornings. They spend the first hour of the day hitting the snooze button, whining, pissing, moaning, and dreading the day ahead. You can choose to let your morning be like that, and walk around like a human raisin, shriveled up and empty of any inspiration, presence, and purpose. Or you can rise above the masses of mediocrity and take ownership over that first hour. You can choose to put yourself in the mindset to dominate, kick ass, and make the world around you better. You can choo...

The ability to do what you want, when you want, how you want. Freedom. That's what we're going after, and it's why I recommend everyone cut out negativity, useless chores, and soul-sucking relationships. When you eliminate clutter, you create freedom. But too much freedom can be crippling. A life without rules opens you up to distraction and inefficiency. Tons of free time lulls you into the idea that you'll just slip into the life if your dreams. You can avoid that complacency by building struc...

As a kid I had zero self-confidence or communication skills. I was super shy and socially awkward. I never thought I was good enough. I doubted myself constantly. I was scared of my own shadow and constantly lived in fear. This lasted for more than half my life, well into my late twenties and early thirties. Then I realized something had to change. Epictetus, the great stoic philosopher, asked, "How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be?" For me, the answer was, "Not one secon...
