While I've been sauna'ing for years consistently, the cold plunge is a newer habit I've picked up. First learning about Wim Hoff (the OG of cold plunging) years ago on Rogan, I've been slowly dipping my toes (and body) into various cold tubs. My take is that cold benefits are a bit less agreed upon than sauana benefits, but it's something I'm currently committed to nonetheless. Tune in to hear the science behind it and how you can create your own cold habit for less than $100.

I created this episode because youth sports needs a reboot, or at least some course correction. While there are some major advancements and new opportunities for young athletes, there are some glaring holes in the system. I was fortunate to have great parents and many good coaches throughout my athletic career, and I'm in a phase of life where youth sports is prominent. I'm seeing it all, and I have a few things to say about it. We'll start with some awareness, and we'll finish with some actionable steps.

"The power of self-control" says the subtitle. Second in the series of Ryan Holiday's four books on the Stoic virtues, Discipline is Destiny teaches about temperance (discipline/self-control). Discipline is one of the few habits that will open up the world of possibilities to you. The ability to say yes to the things you know you should say yes to. Not doing the things you know you shouldn't do. All part of your plan to create the person you hope to be.

I get asked about reading a lot. What books I read and recommend. How often I read. How I read. And recently I was asked how someone could become a better reader. This episode is my explanation and answer to that question.

What an incredibly fun and challenging event that was...5k on the hour, every hour, for twelve hours. I'm much more knowledgable on this side of the miles than I was prior, and I'm excited to share some of my takeaways. In this episode, I'll talk a bit about strategy and execution, fuel (food/nutrition), camaraderie, how I felt physically and mentally, and more. (NOTE: If you haven't listened to Talks 451 yet, listen to that first.)

This is my biggest physical challenge since fighting (maybe ever), a 12 hour 5k marathon of a day. A 5k on the hour, every hour, for twelve hours, starting at 7 AM. Conjured up by a friend of mine, this challenge makes me nervous and excited. Tune in to learn more about the event, my training, goals and more.

This one comes from a recent experience I had as it pertains to the scale. As a wrestler and professional fighter, I've probably stepped on the scale a bunch more than the average person. And even though my competitive days are in the rearview mirror, I still fight the urge to step on the scale and let that number dictate how I feel (albeit much less than I used to). Here is some insightful and practical knowledge that can help you distance yourself from the number on the scale and the feelings it gives you.
