As I was sitting in the sauna last week, a few thoughts popped into my head.  

The thoughts led to a brief conversation in my head.  

Which led to me sitting down and recording a podcast for you.  All within the span of 30 minutes.  That is just an example of thinking differently that you can access at anytime.  

In this particular episode, I give a few examples from my own life of thinking differently including opening up despite COVID lockdowns, publicly, to national news; taking a walk-on student athlete and making him proficient in a week, how would one go about doing that?  And more, including why trying to raise your testosterone levels naturally is a fool's game.  

PLUS….I am doing something new to get more reviews on my ITunes. Whoever leaves the best review this week will win a FREE Blue Panda Hat, that I will ship out directly to you!  DM me once you’ve left the review.  

Last week, I sat down for my second interview and podcast with famous TV personality and superwoman, Barb Majeski.  

The first time we did it over Zoom, which was cool.  I felt elevated and I knew that I could learn a lot from Barb.  

This time, being in her presence, she is a beast!  

Her mindset about achievement and success is world class.  She doesn’t have everything she wants ‘YET’.  Key word here.  

We talk about the mindset of flying first class and also flying on your own private jet.  Which if you think is materialistic, you are missing the point, it's a MINDSET!

Barb talks about not having ocean front property, YET (she does own a beautiful home down the shore already), but she asks the people that have the beachfront homes how they got there.  

You can follow Barb on social media at barbaramajeski and keep an eye out for her new book coming out.  She also has a phenomenal challenge that begins Nov. 1 that I will personally be doing.  You can find more info out at www.themorelifecollective.com. 

In today’s episode of the ULYIS podcast, I have some questions for you men out there.  

How often are you telling your son or daughter that you love them and that you are proud of them?

Do you carve out specific time for them?

Did you father ever tell you that he loved you and was proud of you?

What does it mean to be a man and father?

This is stuff that has been on my mind and I believe it will help all you men out there.  

And of course, I mix in a little conspiracy theory.  

Two weeks ago, we took a road trip up to Connecticut to give our first seminar on a national circuit.  

Who’s we?  Me, my great friend BK from Chicago and the Turkish Ok, one of the masterminds behind the up and coming media company, Has Media.  

Well, you can’t let a good opportunity go to waste and I believe in leveraging my time, so we decided to record an episode of ULYIS on the drive up there.  

We chat about many things in this off the cuff, behind the scenes conversation, including how this whole speaking tour came to be, why shame can be useful in a transformation, but you shouldn’t be the one making a person feel that shame and so much more.

I cannot tell you how many times in the past few years, while having casual conversations, people have said to me, ‘This can’t be real’.  

What were they referring to?

Worldly events.  

Stuff that people are usually oblivious to, but that my endlessly curious mind cannot help but research and explore.  

Reality is indeed often stranger than fiction.  

In today’s episode, I talk about corrupt politicians and what that means for you, real life Terminator robots, Elon Musk's satellite trains, testosterone and much more!  Never know where it’s going to go once I get on a rant!

As you read this, I am on the way up to Connecticut or shortly will be to give the first seminar in a series on a speaking tour my great friend Brandon and I will be doing this year.  

And no doubt, I am listening to a replay of a recent podcast I did with two of the world’s greatest fighters, Mickey Gall of the UFC and future UFC champ, LJ Reboli.  

We went over the mindset of a gladiator, training, success and they even hit me with some well thought out questions.  Pretty cool when pro athletes love strength and conditioning on top of their sports skills practice, which leads to some interesting conversations.  

If you’ve ever wondered what people that are the best in the world think like, then definitely check out this episode.  It’s off the charts, maybe the best episode yet! 

A couple of weeks ago, one of my great friends, Brandon Kelly, was in town for a few days to hang with us.  

We took full advantage of our time together which meant a brutally hard Monday morning workout with a bunch of the guys, followed by a podcast with the two of us and another friend, Jake, from Louisiana who was in town for a Navy SEAL event.  

We chatted it up about LIFE, success, focus, drugs and so much more.  

If you take a listen you will hear my explanation of how using the analogy of a flashlight will allow you to shift your attention at any moment.  

This is key, because where your attention goes, energy flows and results will follow.  

A couple of weeks ago, we traveled up to Connecticut for a workout and podcast with Steve Oroscoe.  

Steve and I connected by chance.  Someone tagged me and the Liver King in one of his posts, which was about fasting, so I decided to say hi and shoot him a message.  

One thing led to another and we set a date to catch a workout and shoot some film and record a killer podcast.  

Nothing happens unless you make it happen, remember that.  

Anyhow, in this episode, Steve and I talk about: 

-Why fasting is the WAY…

-A very simple way to being fasting

-The harsh, often ignored, reality about success.  But when implemented, you can do ANYTHING….

-How to leap frog from one dream to the next, knowing that success is a continuous process

And much, much more.  

Little did I know until after the episode that Steve ran for Senate up there and potentially is eyeballing the 2026 Governors seat.  Yes, with his mindset, I have no doubt that he has a great shot at winning, which won’t surprise you after you listen to this episode.  

Back in 1998, I read a book that I got by mail order from a magazine, that shaped my foundation for my training philosophy.  

At the time, I was still in high school, just entering my senior year.  

And I had a vision of becoming the strongest bodybuilder I could become.  

I left no stone unturned.  

Anyone can slap together some exercises.  That doesn’t necessarily constitute a solid training program.  

What I always want to know is: what’s the creator's philosophy behind it?  

Take a listen to see what my exact philosophy of training is, it’ll give you a better understanding of training than 99% of ‘fitness experts’. 

Listen, people pay me good money to write programs, take advantage of this opportunity to learn about my training methods. 

Listen to it until you truly understand it.  

Back in 2014, I was lucky enough to go to a Dax Moy seminar on Mind Mapping, which ultimately transformed my life.  

Have you ever had a philosophy, theory or idea but couldn’t quite formulate it into something coherent, even though you knew it to be true?  Well, that’s what Dax did for me when it came to Mind Map.

In this episode, we go deep on the real purpose of goal setting and I believe once you listen to this, you will never look at goal setting the same  way again and you will forever have more self-awareness which will help when you get off track, which will happen.  

We talk about:

-The 3 I’s of impact, influence and income

-The dopamine treadmill and why it will burn you out and leave you feeling hopeless

-Why the answer to overwhelm is never MORE

-What the real purpose of any goal is

-How to use the 3 ‘Beauty’s’ to set up magical days

-Why structuring your LIFE around what is most important NOW is an absolute MUST

And so much more.  

So buckle up and prepare to have your mind blown!  I know mine was. 

Dax is one of the top Coaches in the world, his clients include British royalty and celebrities to name a few.  You can find out more by going to www.mindmapcoach.com or by following him at Dax Moy (his writings are brilliant, a must!).

A week ago, I was on day 3 of a 4 day fast to bring in my new year.  

The past few years, I have made it a ritual to fast until my birthday, do a brutally hard training session on my birthday and go deep into my mind the night prior with the help of Magic Mushrooms.  

Why in the world would someone do this?

I thought you were supposed to take it easy on your birthday?

In today’s episode, I explain my thought process behind why I do this, I explain my insights and key takeaways from the MM trip and share with you how I hurt my calf significantly and what I did about it both mentally and physically to recover in superhero time.  

People ask me about mindset far more than anything else.  

And truth be told, mindset is my forte.  

In fact, the main reason I utilize my fasting protocols is for the mind and spirit.  

In this episode, I cover 3 keys that anyone can do to transform their mindset.

By the way, negative thoughts are completely normal and common, but it doesn’t mean we have to settle for them.  

Take a listen and apply what I share here.  But, be warned, there is work involved!

A month or so ago I decided to start talking once in a while about worldly events, topics that I am well versed in and study daily.  

I am endlessly curious about all this stuff.  

Now, if you are only listening to the MSM, this stuff will all be new to you and might even highly offend you.  

If you are easily offended, then you best not listen, or you can and you can vehemently disagree with me.  But I’ll still be your friend:)

In this episode, I talk about: UFOs, Bronny James’ heart attack, the Stanford President and the Jason Aldean song.  

Absorb what is useful and discard the rest.  

Steve Parente, long time friend and client, is about to open his 16th Physical Therapy location.  

That’s incredible, I don’t care who you are!

I can’t even imagine opening 16 gyms.  

And this has been done in an environment in which the big boy corporations have pretty much wiped out all the smaller mom and pop shops.  

When I first met Steve, he was in need of an energy boost.  At first, he rejected the Panda method, thinking it was a bit crazy.

Now, he has a group of friends that he supports doing the Panda!  He has taken his discipline to a whole other level.

Success leaves clues.  

And if you are after success, then you are going to want to take a listen to what he has to say.

2 weekends ago, I attempted and successfully completed the Army Ranger Challenge.  

It was 12 miles in under 3 hours with 40 pounds on my back.  

Why in the world would someone do this voluntarily, without a sanctioned event?

Because, I said I would and because I have to constantly see if ‘I have what it takes’.  

In today’s episode of ULYIS, I go over the ins and outs of my adventure, my mindset, how my body held up and the self talk I played in my mind as I took step after step.

Not to toot my own horn, but I am going to.  

I am excellent at seeing patterns long before most people.  

I saw right through the Covid lies, literally, before it even officially began.  

And nearly every prediction I have made about stuff going on around the world since then has come true.  Devon and my brothers would confirm this for you.  

So, in today's episode, I give you a sneak peak into my brain with what is happening and what I believe will happen next.  

I normally don't talk about this with the public, but my buddies have urged me to start talking about this and other interesting fascinations I have, more regularly.  

Whether you agree or disagree with what I have to say here, I hope that it gets you thinking a little bit differently. 

But, be warned, some of this might upset you.  If you are rigid in your beliefs and would rather live inside a bubble, DO NOT LISTEN.  

There you have, consider yourself warned.

In this episode, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of chatting with Barbara Majeski, TV personality and CEO/Founder of the More Life Collective.  

Barn drops so much wisdom in this episode that I had to call Devon right after to tell her how excited I was.  Barb simply ‘gets it’.  

You will hear how Barb overcame a devastating divorce and stage 3 cancer in the same year, which propelled her to chasing her childhood dream of becoming a TV personality.  

Surviving cancer made Barb check herself and make some deals with Grim Reaper himself.  One of the most impactful things was making sure that she is always in alignment with whom she promised herself she would BE if she got another crack at life.  

Living in true alignment and calling yourself out on BS is something Barb is brilliant on.  

I kid you not, I was like a kid in a candy store, because she was dropping so many bombs that directly correlate to Mind Mapping.  

Barb talks about how the happiest people are the ones that are the most curious and that possess a growth mindset.  And, ‘You don’t have to be the smartest person in the room, you just have to do the smart things’.  

‘Information’ doesn’t lead to a transformation…action does! 

‘Suspend your judgment of others, it’s only poisoning you and holding you back.  Rather, ask how they did ‘it’.’ 

Man, this was great, we are already planning part 2 this summer.  

Stay tuned.

Since our social media game has blown up, I get all types of bizarre, funny and interesting messages and comments.  

So, I figured that once a month or so, I would have the ‘Silliness Report’ edition of the podcast.  

Highlighting some of the points brought up to me and giving you my take on them.  

In today’s episode, I highlight a true fake fitness expert, a 16 year old with not an ounce of work ethic, a college educated robot and a functional medicine practitioner.  

Enjoy, laugh and learn!

I met David Fishchuk through our mutual Coach a few months ago.  

I was impressed by how he was carrying himself and creating the life of his dreams at such a young age (he’s 29).  

In today’s episode, we sat down for a conversation in which David shared how he overcame the death of his brother, how he beat his addiction to adderall and pornography and how he now teaches his clients to drop all vices.  

If you are on the path of self-improvement and you think that you are the only one going through the jungle of vices, things you need to hide, know that you aren’t alone.  

Take a listen to today’s episode and gain some inspiration from David.  He’s a great young father that is going to be doing big things on this planet!

Back in 1997, I began using visualization and studying visualization to help me with becoming the best basketball player I could become.  

And it has been something that has been so powerful in my life that I love sharing with you guys.  

Recently, on our trip to Jamaica, my visions became manifest, in a HUGE way.  

And it all has to do with infusing your thoughts with emotion and enthusiasm, consistently.  

In today’s episode, I go over the story of the witch doctor and my massage in which my new reality got burned into my nervous system.  

Believe it or not, either way you are right.

My video crew, the Turks, aka Has Media, has been wanting to hook me up with one of their other clients, Jake, for quite some time.  

Jake has a very interesting background, from being in the military to Mexico, back to the states and now going back to Mexico.  

Jake ran a half marathon in costume, without consuming any water and then went on to run a full marathon without any water as well.  

Jake is the type of man that when he puts his mind to something, he does it.  

He was in the corporate world for a bit, but his soul kept telling him that he was destined to become a Coach.  

I got along with him so well because he, too, follows the unconventional route in life.  

If you are in need of a shot of inspiration, check this episode out!

Be Unconventional - Kyle Newell

Kowboy Keith recently came to town and we got a killer workout in, followed by an amazing podcast episode.  

Keith is an uber entrepreneur…

He went to prison for a year..

He was on the Federal Agents most wanted list…

And he has given up all vices as he takes a new path in life.  

This episode is an inspirational tale to say the least.  

There were tears and laughter and a whole bunch of motivational nuggets for you to take from.  

If Kowboy’s story doesn’t inspire you, you might want to check your pulse, because you might be dead.  

You can follow Keith on Instagram @kowboykeith.  Be sure to check him out.

In today’s episode, I was fortunate to have my good buddy, Patrick Tromley, aka the Level Up Dad on the show.  

Patrick is a shining example to his 3 sons and men that he Coaches on how to be a man.  

Patrick and I discussed the lack of male leadership and the situation that we now find ourselves in as a world and as a country.  

One of the great things that you’ll gain from listening is that Patrick was in the Real Estate field for quite some time, but it never lit him up.  

It was a means to an end.  

And then, he found his true purpose, Coaching others.  

When I asked him what advice he would give his 25 year old self, he said, ‘Get into alignment quicker’.  

It’s such a rare thing to see a man that has found his true purpose and who is pursuing his true purpose.  

You will walk away a smarter person for listening to this episode, for sure!
