    QV #79: Jared Slater - Athlete Engineer on Voltage, Charge, Expedited Rehab and the Body's Wiring

    Jared Slater tore his UCL pitching in college, right as COVID shut down every field, gym, and clinic he could have used to rehab it. He was stuck in California with a laptop, some bands, and a couple of weights in his garage, so he started treating himself — filming his own mechanics, adjusting his own program, digging through research at night. He doesn't call himself a strength coach anymore. He calls himself an athlete engineer, a term he picked up from Matt Rhea, because the box "strength coach" puts you in is too small for what the job actually is. He owns IHT Human Performance in North Charleston, South Carolina, where he trains athletes on both performance and rehab through a heavily neuro-based approach — muscle testing, treating the brain as the actual site of an injury rather than just the tissue, and getting people back on the field in a fraction of the usual timeline. He opened the gym about a year and a half ago, not long after losing his mother, partly to carry forward the work ethic she modeled for him. This one covers his theory of injury and recovery, built around voltage and charge in the body, several case studies he cites (a torn PCL he says was healthy in eight weeks, bulging discs resolved in four days), a theory connecting a run of 49ers tendon injuries to a nearby electrical substation, and his take on vibration, frequency, and why the people around you matter more than you'd think. Underneath the specifics there's a plainer idea running through all of it: be the best at whatever level you're actually at right now, before worrying about the next one. Full conversation below.

    QV#78: Ezra Vancil - Singer-Songwriter on Flow State, Vulnerability, and Making Real Art

    Ezra Vancil got signed to a substantial recording deal as a teenager and has been making music ever since — he's in his fifties now, still touring, still putting out a record most years. Somewhere in his twenties and thirties he went through a genuinely dark stretch: substance abuse, felony charges, a divorce, and a rock bottom that included thoughts of suicide, until one night something in him finally said enough. He's an Americana singer-songwriter based in a forest in East Texas, known for house concerts where the between-song stories matter as much as the songs. His new project, a double album called Morning & Midnight, turned into a full poetry collection along the way — he sat down to finish the record and ended up with a book he never meant to write, due out on Audible and Kindle by the end of the year. Most of this conversation is about that rock-bottom period and what came after it: giving up on trying to be something and learning to just be what he already was. We also get into flow state (he describes it through a car accident that knocked him clean out of his vehicle), the three versions of himself he calls the flow-state writer, the craftsman, and the editor, why he stopped chasing what his art earns and started paying attention to what making it does to him, and the couple who wandered into one of his concerts to sign their divorce papers and left holding hands instead. His best line of the episode: he spent most of his life performing a persona, and the day he stopped, the wrong people and the wrong work just filtered themselves out on their own.

    QV #77: Chris 'The Warrior Maker' Harris - 25 Years Training Special Forces

    Chris Harris was ten years old when his mother, a heroin addict and dealer, got arrested and sent to prison. He and his two sisters were split into separate cars by Child Protective Services and never lived under the same roof again. What followed was years on the streets of Dayton, Ohio — sleeping under bridges, eating out of dumpsters, cycling through foster families. At twelve, digging through a dumpster, he found a bag of donuts. He ate them, got disgusted with himself for celebrating it, threw the rest away, and made himself a promise: he was done being poor.He found martial arts through a pastor who taught free karate classes in the housing projects, then talked his way into lessons at every school he could find by trading chores for training. By 18 he'd trained in six styles. After the Air Force, he spent 25 years as a private Department of Defense contractor, teaching close-quarters combat to special forces operators for the U.S. and its allies. Since then: 14 books (two of them pulled straight from his own life), eight articles in Forbes, and his own combat system, Roku Jitsu, built from the six styles he came up through. Today he goes by The Warrior Maker.This one covers what he means by mindset — the space between a stimulus and how you respond to it — free will, and why he won't keep a single excuse in his back pocket, even a true one. Also: training Navy SEALs and Green Berets, the difference between rational and irrational fear, and what happened to his two sisters, who followed their mother into addiction and both died young. Asked how his own life turned out so differently, Chris gives the exact same explanation they would have: because his mother was an addict. Same circumstances, different perspective.Find Chris:The Warrior Maker: https://www.thewarriormaker.comThe Book of Mindset: https://a.co/d/0a7A32ERIG: https://www.instagram.com/thewarriormaker/Quality Values Podcast:Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcDYjJATsN-Nn0Fs5HLuIq5EIzDcA9tggMore episodes: https://jacobconlanshields.com/pages/podcast/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5xzOcAP2agwcVVAdu7vztc#QualityValues #TheWarriorMaker #Mindset #ResilienceChapters:0:00 Growing up on the streets of Dayton, Ohio3:33 The bag of donuts: the moment everything changed5:26 Indomitable spirit, defined8:06 Why nobody stepped in10:05 Rivals, demons, and shadows: the Warrior Maker mindset12:19 Mindset as the space between stimulus and response14:11 Free will and accountability: the torn bicep and the book deadline20:01 What foster families taught him21:26 Finding martial arts through a pastor in the projects23:10 From the military to 25 years training special forces worldwide24:42 Aikido and harmonizing with an opponent's energy28:20 Fourteen books, Forbes bylines, and why he doesn't love writing40:05 Roku Jitsu: combining six martial arts into one system41:17 Training instinct, not muscle memory42:56 Overriding instinct: the $100,000 check in the fire44:11 No excuses, no platform to blame45:47 Training Navy SEALs and Green Berets: "there is no try"47:42 The indomitable spirit, since age 1248:22 Operating without fear: rational vs. irrational50:16 His sisters, and "same circumstances, different perspective"51:29 Find your demons and put them to work51:48 Where to find Chris: The Warrior Maker

    QV #76: Colin Donohoo - Rev6, Nervous System Training, Rewiring Fear Into Play

    Colin Donohoo broke his ankle in a rec-league soccer game right after finishing his kinesiology degree, and used the recovery to study his own body instead of going into physical education. Sixteen years later he's a Rev6 (formerly Revolution in Motion, formerly Proper Body Exercise) master trainer and the owner of The Language of Movement in Los Angeles. Colin trains what he calls nervous system training — a separate bucket from strength and conditioning, built around feedback instead of load. Balance work, water bells, sand mazes, foam rollers. He walks through how he found the system through a trainer named Jeff, then traces it back to its source: Edith, a chiropractor who built the whole practice on muscle testing, and a story about a classical pianist who avoided spinal surgery because of it. This one covers The Body Keeps the Score and trauma-informed coaching, a memory-training detour through sommeliers and medical students, and the idea Colin calls spiritual energy versus resistance energy — doing the things that are good for you because you're pulled toward them instead of forcing yourself through them. Also: a first capoeira class that went better than it had any right to, Roger Federer's Dartmouth commencement speech, Ella Langley's stage presence, and a goal to help eight million people that started out, less ambitiously, at eighty thousand. Colin's best line of the episode: someone disconnected from their body treats the front door like a threat. Someone who isn't sees a playground.

    QV #75: Daniel Spencer (Saluz) - Primary Water, Ancient Algae, Soil Health, Nervous System Training

    Daniel Spencer (Saluz): Origin story: Daniel started out chasing performance — hockey, bodybuilding, a firefighter injury that forced a rethink. That led him into nervous system training, and...algae. A friend left a jar of algae on his counter instead. Four days into a fast on it, his brain "turned on." That was the start of Saluz. What he does now: Saluz sells algae harvested from Klamath Lake, Oregon — grown in a lake bed sitting on the minerals of a collapsed volcano — along with soil amendments built around the same organism. He also works alongside Hydro Bliss, a primary water brand pulled from underground in Oregon and canned before it ever sees sunlight. This one covers a lot: hydrogen water , dead soil and mycorrhizal fungi, chlorella vs. spirulina, fascia, Rolfing, adaptogens, and much more. Daniel's tip: Spend a year just reading the ingredients on everything you eat. No goal beyond knowing what's in it. Eventually you can pick something up and already know.

    QV#74 James Murray: The Feldenkrais Method, Healing Through Movement, Improving Alignment

    James Murray spent twelve years as a competitive bodybuilder in South Africa, and in all that time his hamstrings never once got sore. Scoliosis since he was young, a back "as tough as a drum," couldn't draw his knees to his chest. He gave himself two years to fix his body and get back to the gym. That was twenty-five years ago. He tried Pilates first — got certified, got good at it, body didn't change. Two years of Gyrotonic after that, still couldn't find his own sit bones. Then a Feldenkrais practitioner working the same gym floor sat behind him, put her hands on his stomach, and told him to push his belly out. Nobody had ever told him that. He took a Feldenkrais class not long after — forty-five minutes on the floor — and came out of it with inches of length behind each knee that a decade of stretching never gave him. He spent the next four years training to become a practitioner himself. James Murray is a Feldenkrais practitioner now, and he wrote a book on incorporating the ideas — "Cure Sleep Apnea by Moving Out of Your Own Way" — making the case that obstructive sleep apnea isn't a slack-tongue problem, it's a head-position problem, and the fix is the same as everything else in his world: change the self-image, and the body follows. This one starts with the life of Moshe Feldenkrais himself — fleeing pogroms, a teenage walk across Asia to the Adriatic, a physics PhD in Paris, and a friendship with the man who invented judo that ends with Feldenkrais bringing the sport to the West. From there we get into what the method actually claims, straight from Feldenkrais's own book "Body and Mature Behavior": posture isn't a position, it's a decision your brain keeps making without telling you, and you don't fix it by stretching or strengthening, you fix it with awareness. We get into Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration, why his own glutes and hamstrings wouldn't grow for over a decade, what a frightened rabbit has to do with it, and why the quality of a movement matters more than its range. The idea I keep coming back to: movement generates awareness. Not the other way around.

    QV#73 Glahens Paul 2: Solving the Loneliness Epidemic with an App | Dipidi Co-Founder

    Glahens Paul survived the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, immigrated to Boston at nine years old without a word of English, and now runs Dipiti, a Nashville startup betting against the entire social media playbook. Second sit-down with Paul. First one covered the concept. This one gets into the man — the math kid who tested equal on creative and analytical scores, the kid who went from an open-door courtyard in Haiti to a concrete-jungle version of childhood in Boston, the founder who built a company out of his own isolation instead of around it. Dipiti is the technical answer to a personal problem. Paul and his co-founder were two social new grads who kept watching plans fall through because the day got busy. So they built a tool that answers four questions — who, what, when, where — and gets people out of group chats and into rooms with each other. We get into the 2010 earthquake and the two months he spent sleeping in a shared courtyard with his whole neighborhood. We get into why he calls social media "diet social interaction" — all the sensation, none of the nutrition. We get into a University of Chicago study on what people will pay to quit apps they can't stop using. And we close on the question Paul keeps coming back to: does AI give us the chance to become more like ourselves, not less? Nashville rooftop, freezing wind, ground beef and sweet potatoes. Some things about building a startup never change.

    QV#72 Anthony Simpkins: Gems on VHS Founder on Going Viral by Accident & What Really Matters in Life

    Anthony Simpkins runs Gems on VHS, a Nashville channel built on slow, unscripted, folk-inspired video work. Recorded at Wild Side MMA — Nashville and Clarksville — right after Simpkins and I rolled a few rounds. He's got the fat lip to prove it. Origin story: A felony for selling mushrooms at eighteen kept him out of college — no Pell Grant for felons. So he bought a Canon T2, started filming musicians in Nashville's early-2010s scene (Belmont, house shows, a town that felt like the center of something), and decided he'd never work for anyone else again. Free videos on Craigslist turned into paid ones. One of them — his friend Benjamin Todd playing a song called "Using Again" against a white wall — sits at 12 million views on YouTube now. He didn't see it coming. What he does now: Gems on VHS. Intimate, acoustic, cinema-verité style, shot in the spirit of old Alan Lomax field recordings. He's turned down bigger paydays — a Zach Bryan booking among them — to keep working with people he actually likes. Patreon, AdSense, and whatever else pays the bills in between (bar mitzvahs, bus commercials, gym promos — he's done it all). We get into stepping away from capitalism as an operating philosophy, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the difference between fear-presence and the real thing, dumb phones and why the carriers won't let you have one, and why jiu jitsu and live music hit the same nerve. His best idea: chase quality over quantity, work with people you like, and stop needing every upload to top the last one. Good luck out there, Anthony. See you on the mats — or somewhere with worse Wi-Fi.
