Joshua Settlage is a strength and conditioning coach for a variety of grappling athletes in addition to training and competing in jiu-jitsu himself. His resume also includes his own podcast, amazing content for grapplers on his social media, and he formerly worked closely with the one and only Mark Bell at super training gym and slingshot.

In this episode we go over a WIDE variety of subjects like Josh’s history in wrestling and weightlifting, that one time he did a bodybuilding show, nutrition and weight cutting for athletes, and even why Batman is the greatest superhero of all time.

This episode was exactly the kind of content I want to create - just the right blend of educational conversation and two dudes having fun.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!

At 430 pounds, Jim Trick was trapped in a life, body, and mindset from which he thought there was no escape. That was a decade ago.

Today, Jim finds himself over 220 pounds lighter, a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, founder of the MyWhiteBelt instagram page, host of the MyWhiteBelt podcast, a successful life coach and musician, and an all around incredible guy. We discussed weight loss, jiu-jitsu, getting started later in life, and so much more including A LOT of discussion around how mindset truly is the driver of everything.

This was one of the best interviews I’ve done in a while, and there is no shortage of value for anyone losing weight, doing BJJ, or chasing the life they want to live.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I am joined by Dusty Hall. He found himself on the wrong side of 500 pounds before flipping that switch, working for change, and finding his way.

Dusty and I discuss life at 500+ pounds, the misconceptions of weight loss surgery, how REAL change happens, and the power of a simple phrase - FIND A WAY.

It was a pleasure to chat with Dusty and get to know him. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Kent Peters is a black belt in BOTH Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. He is the founder of Zombie Proof BJJ in Sydney, Nova Scotia as well as the brand Supernatural Survival Gear, and he is popular in the grappling community for his video breakdowns of techniques.

We talked about Kent's unconventional path to jiu-jitsu success, how jiu-jitsu goes much deeper than self defense and fitness, the power of shit talking, the kind of father he is, and so much more!

This episode is exactly what I want my podcast to be about - getting to connect with people like Kent and have fun conversations that can hopefully improve the lives of at least one listener.
