Are you physically fit? Are you mentally fit? Is it worth being one without the other? These are the questions Jessica Bax has wrestled with on her journey.

We were so lucky to get some time to chat with Jessica Bax. Or JBax as she is known to her fans and followers. Jessica is a personal trainer, a certified meditation teacher, a podcaster, and a mindset coach. She’s an entrepreneur and a self-made young woman.

If you’ve listened much to our podcast, you know I’m a sucker for a story about someone pivoting in their life and following a dream. Bonus points if they find success in that pivot. Well, that’s Jess. As you’ll hear on the pod, it all started with a mirror selfie back when she was in college, unhappy, out of shape, and overweight.

We had a blast talking with Jess. She tells us about her journey. We talk about the mindset shift she went through last year when the pandemic descended on her life. Something that many of us can empathize with. We discuss fitness, mindfulness, and the intersection of physical and mental health. We try to get some fitness tips out of her, but I leave a bit disappointed that she doesn’t tell me how to get those chiseled abs I want. We talk some about our kids and cultivating good influences online.

Anyway, this was a fun conversation. I think you’ll find some nuggets of wisdom in there. And if nothing else we can introduce you Bros to an amazing, super cool young woman named Jessica Bax.

How much vulnerability is too much vulnerability? Can we be too open and honest? Brené Brown, the godmother of vulnerability, would say absolutely YES.

Well, this week the Bros are pushing the envelope a bit and over-sharing with you, Bros!

Enoch has a lot of resistance to releasing this episode. They discussed it at length, and decided to share it anyway. You're getting the full monty, warts and all.

The episode opens with Sosh discussing his nascent comedy routine. He's trying to develop a "tight 5" minutes of material. Then we get into some pretty raunchy jokes and stories. We sort of put the "bro" back in Brodhisattva. This is definitely NSFW.

The rest of the conversation is Enoch wailing and gnashing his teeth over his frustrations with the pandemic, particularly the Delta wave, and his struggles over the best thing to do for his kids.

Enoch is a bit drunk and gets drunker as the conversation progresses. If you listen closely, you can hear the ice rattling in his glass. He sounds a bit unhinged, but that's because he was. Right after this, he called a break on the podcast along with most other extraneous activities in his life. That's why we're just now releasing a conversation that happened back in August when Delta was peaking.

The break did Enoch some good. He needed some time to reset and get his head straight. Both of the Bros are now back and feeling better for it.

Honestly, no one should listen to this. You surely have better things to do with your time. But if you're still interested, tune in. It's not pretty, but here they are, warts and all...

The Bros were completely blown away and inspired this week by our guest Michael Miller. Michael talks to us about his journey to becoming a world-renowned instructor in Vedic Meditation. He also answers some important questions, like: How can I start meditating? What benefits can meditation bring to my life? Why do I need a meditation teacher? Can meditation be dangerous? And... Can meditation make me a better lover?

Enjoy this conversation and expect more on this topic.
