Dave Lipson

I've known Dave Lipson for almost 10 years. I've never seen him frown. I've never seen him angry. He's as mentally tough as he is physically strong. I was curious as to how he views obstacles and challenges.  For those of you who follow Dave's Instagram page, his online persona is quite different than talking to him one-on-one. You're going to be very surprised by this conversation. Dave's background is fascinating and this interview went deeper than I expected. I love learning new ways to look at life and challenges.  Enjoy this intimate talk with my friend Dave 'freakin' Lipson. Learn more about his training programs here.

Andrew Huberman

It’s not often you find a neuroscientist studying fear who growing up, also fought in the streets and trained and competed in combat sports. That’s what makes Andrew Huberman’s story and message amazing and even more credible to me! I’m fascinated by the mind and the brain and especially its connection to fear. I read what I can to make sure our method is consistent with modern principles of neuroscience. Unfortunately so much content online is often pedantic and academic making it hard to relate to.  Enter Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., Professor of Neurobiology and Director of his own lab at Stanford School of Medicine where he works on brain mechanisms of fear and anxiety and neural regeneration. Mr. Huberman is not your typical professor A) because of his background and B) because he is able to convey complex ideas in ways “we” can all understand.  Meet Andrew Huberman.

Andy Stumpf

I first met Andy about 10 years ago in Santa Cruz.  As our paths continued to cross our conversations got longer and deeper.   Over the years I have learned that he's an incredibly talented and passionate man. He's a caring father.  A patriot. An explorer and adventurer. He can draw and write.  He's funny and a deep thinker. He's like a modern-day Renaissance Man, which doesn't make sense but it does.  Oh, and he likes to jump out of airplanes on off giant mountains.  Meet Andy Stumpf. Although no longer wearing a uniform, Andy continues to fight for the SEAL community, and their families.  In 2015 he set two World Records after jumping from 36,500 feet and flying over 18 miles in a wingsuit in an effort to raise 1 Million Dollars for the Navy SEAL Foundation.  Andy is a sponsored skydiver and BASE jumper, constantly traveling the world creating content for his sponsors.   After entering the private sector, Andy founded a consulting firm dedicated to ensuring that the lessons learned from over a decade of sustained combat are retained, refined, and utilized by leaders in the business world.  Andy's podcast His bio His Instagram feed

I heard about Tosh long before I met him. As the recipient of the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism, his story is amazing. What's even more fascinating to me is how humble he is.  I asked him to share the story as it's so relevant to this podcast aptly named: KNOW FEAR. It's worth reading about the event online here. Tosh's life is fascinating and the current chapter is as mesmerizing as it is inspiring. His thoughts on life are shared on his Instagram feed which I highly recommend you scroll through. This talk was special like the man himself.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Hans Molenkamp

From Conor Mcgregor to Nick Swardson. From Jocko Willink to Fedor.  From Monster Energy to Triumph United.  Who the hell is Hans Molenkamp? I connected with Hans about a year ago and discovered a mutual passion for 'creativity with integrity'. The more we spoke the deeper it got. He’s a modern day ‘renaissance man’ with a love of music, art, and physical movement. We’ve both been grinding for decades and it's amazing to me that our paths only crossed recently.  But I’m sure glad they did. Hans inspires me &amp; considering my optempo, that says a lot. During this podcast I found myself simply listening and absorbing, Hans’ story is pretty amazing, from his background in the skate/surf community to his beginning’s with BJJ &amp; MMA and how he built his relationships and brand. He’s been behind the scenes for almost all of it.  But more importantly, he has a legitimate philosophy about life and is willing to share it. Sit back and meet Hans Molenkamp. Follow Hans on IG

Ranger. Leader. Author. Motivator.  Mentor. I met JC Glick over 10 years ago while I was teaching a military contract. JC was a thinker. I noticed him immediately in class for two main reasons: 1) He asked deep questions during the theory portion. 2) He is 6’3 220 lbs. During a specific CQB weapon drill, he politely questioned the efficacy of one of our long gun retention principles, (that’s polite for “I don’t really think this will work”).  At 5'8", 190lbs I had a momentary fear spike.  And even though 'size matters', I trust physics more. We tested it - the move worked as promised. That moment was the beginning of our friendship. JC went on to do great things as a military leader, leadership consultant, two-time author, and entrepreneur. He’s a close friend who has also helped me navigate through some challenging times, which makes him one of my mentors too. Meet my good friend, JC Glick.   CONNECT WITH HIM ON LINKEDIN

Ranger. Leader. Author. Motivator.  Mentor. I met JC Glick over 10 years ago while I was teaching a military contract. JC was a thinker. I noticed him immediately in class for two main reasons: 1) He asked deep questions during the theory portion. 2) He is 6’3 220 lbs.

Jared Reston

"For a split second, Reston's field of vision filled with exploding stars. The officer had been in his fair share of fights before, but never had he been knocked for such a disorienting loop as this. As he fell and rolled down the embankment, he knew that something had gone terribly wrong: His jaw collapsed upon itself and he realized that his teeth had canted 45 degrees and were lying sideways in his mouth."  Read the entire article here I first met Jared Reston at the Shot Show a couple years ago. There was something familiar about his face.  Then it hit me.  This was 'the' Jared Reston - my company has been playing the video interview of him describing his fight for his life in our SPEAR law enforcement classes for many years. We show it to inspire and exemplify the 'never quit' mindset.   Enjoy this call, we discuss the ambush, the gunfight, current training and much more.  Meet Jared Reston.  Learn more about Jared and the courses he offers here: http://restongrouptraining.com/  Click here to watch the video we show in our courses

Mathew Polly

Bruce Lee: Icon, innovator, pioneer, legend.  I discovered martial arts the year Bruce Lee died. His spirit and persona inspired me to go after my dreams. And in many ways, he had the most impactful influence on my journey even though I never had the honor of meeting him in person.  I have an extensive Lee collection and have read ever biography printed so I was thrilled to see this new book released and written by an experienced author and researcher.  I contacted Mr. Polly and he agreed to this interview. I met Mathew Polly for the first time during my interview with him.  We connected immediately as we were both Bruce fans from way back. What Mathew didn't know was that I actually knew Brandon Lee for many years. We were friends, trained together, I did a film with him in Hong Kong and more. As a result, this conversation went deeper and was more personal than a stereotypical 'book launch' interview.    "Forty-five years after his sudden death at age thirty-two, bestselling author Matthew Polly has written the first authoritative biography of Bruce Lee’s life. This is an honest, revealing look at an impressive man whose personal story was even more entertaining than any fictional role he played onscreen."
