REN presents The Beacon Ricky Ung

Ladies and gentlemen, today we're blessed. Joining us on the podcast is Lucas Rocha, The illustrious professor at Logic BJJ in Arcadia, California.
I joined his gym March of 2021 and found myself captivated by his instruction and calm demeanor.
Through time and dedication, he's cultivated a warm and welcoming environment for his students. This is hard to find in a typically machismo combat sport, let alone create. Join us as we gently explore the mind of a professional athlete, father and extremely kind human being.

It's as though the world has forgotten how to hold a conversation. As humans we crave connection, be it through a shared hobby or similar interest. Technology has taken a firm hold on how we socialize and it's changed us, for better or worse. Remember that a simple sit down with someone open minded can be worth its weight in gold. We're not alone in this world, all it takes is a gentle smile and an open mind to make someone feel safe. Join the infamous David Lee and I as we have a sit down and talk about tattoos, taboos and life as we know it.

Take some time out of your long day to tune in and catch some healthy vibes. It seems we've forgotten the power behind action, influence and impact. If you want to change the world, start by changing yourself! Remember to take care of yourself and reach out when things become overwhelming. I'm certain someone will be there to help you pick up the pieces.

Our community plays a pivotal role in the people we become. Which is why it's important to stop and smell the roses. Fionne and I have taken a look at the community we grew up in and found a vicious, repetitious cycle. At times we close ourselves off to new people and experiences. It's almost as if we're living in a bubble, unaffected by the outside world. Join us as we open up about some of the vices within our community.

Starting your own business venture can be a daunting task, and it’s no easy feat. There’s tremendous struggles and challenges that come with running a business. However, when the going gets rough, what is the reason why we continue to believe? What does it take to succeed? How do you become a legend? Join CJLEGENDS and I as we catch up and listen to his story.

Lo and behold, we're here to talk about the toxic culture within families. Your home growing up is supposed to be filled with the smell of home cooked meals and loving interactions. It’s your safe haven. But for a lot of people, that home can act as a sort of prison. Our parents were busy trying to make the best of a bad situation. At times we received the brunt of their frustrations, some worse than others. What I’ve learned through the various interactions with people and some self reflecting is that these hardships help instill overwhelming empathy. Join Kayla and I as we open up about a few of the obstacles we’ve overcome. Hopefully you’ll find reprieve, and a sense of belonging through our conversation.
