Episode #3 is in the books! We are pumping the content out and the feedback has been so amazing. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the infamous Andre Ferguson, A.K.A Lucky Libra yesterday at the studio. We got to catch up and talk about his family, Olympia performance, and much much more. If you know how Andre and I are, it's legit just a hang-out session with mics in front of us. My man was scarfing his meal down when we started!
Once again I appreciate all the love and support. If you have any feedback for guests/segments I'm all ears! I want this show to be something everyone can be a part of.
For now, just keep liking and sharing the episodes, it's the best way for the show to grow and reach more ears and eyes

Ever received an offer that made you do a double-take? That's how I kicked things off this week, recounting a laugh-out-loud encounter with an OnlyFans recruiter and contemplating the 'what ifs' of online modeling. My sidekick in this whirlwind of banter, John "Manimal" Beneduce, and I didn't hold back, stretching from tales of Norse gods to the practicalities of martial arts training.
As our conversation zigzagged through the realms of ancient knowledge and modern-day applications, John and I uncovered the mystical underpinnings in everyday life. Ever wonder how Odin could inspire your daily grind or what jiu-jitsu has to do with the art of connection? We've got you covered, spinning stories of personal transformation that might just motivate you to reconsider how you approach the world—whether you're wearing a Gi or a Kimura savage shirt.
Wrapping things up, we didn't shy away from getting real about the blood, sweat, and tears in the dojo, pondering the possibilities of exclusive gyms, and peeking into the minds of deities. If you're ready for a dose of the unexpected, peppered with laughs and a few philosophical gems, then clear your schedule—you've got a podcast episode that refuses to fit any conventional mold.
