    Ep. 11 MATT MCLEOD | Growing a brand & becoming a Responsible Delinquent

    This is a SUPER special episode for me. Being able to interview an old friend that has just “done the damn thing” and talk about his journey gets me excited about life and I hope it’ll do the same for you! Today I’m joined by Matt McLeod. Matt is a Registered Dietitian, fitness coach, natural bodybuilding pro, Responsible Delinquent, and one amazing content creator! In this episode we dive into the Trifecta drink system Matt created, his coaching journey, climbing over “cringe mountain” with content creation, what it means to become a responsible delinquent, and much more!

    Ep. 8 JEFF BILSKI | Life's Journey of Optimizing Health

    Everywhere we turn there is an ad, a suggestion, an opinion of how you can change your life and get healthy.

Jeff and I have known each other for over a decade now and have both been on the pursuit for better health. We have both taken some similar and very different approaches - which is the best part! We discuss Jeff's journey to optimizing health, his health struggles, popular trends and their legitimacy, is Seinfeld better than friends, and some other banter!

    Ep. 7 JEFF BLACK | The Art of Winning

    The greats in sport or business will tell you the same thing - winning is fun. Everything in life is better when you're winning. If you look at these specific people who have been at the top of their game, industry, etc, you'll find clues on how they became labeled as "the greats." When you piece it all together, it's quite an art. In today's episode I'm joined by the one and only Jeff Black! We discuss the art of winning and how failure, mindset, and relationships all play into becoming a habitual winner. Jeff is a guy who fell in love with bodybuilding in hopes to overcome osteogenesis imperfecta, aka brittle bone disease which has led him to helping others pursue their best health and fitness for the last 18 years. Jeff is soon to be published author and is bringing awareness to brittle bone disease and mental health! In his own words "just a guy who's happy to be here and if the world's a little crooked, I'm looking to make that picture a little bit straighter before I go."

    Ep. 5 TAYLOR WING | Find Financial Freedom Through Real Estate

    There are many types of investing and many ways to get started. Some of the easiest ways that everyone talks about would be buying a few shares of a stock on Robinhood or some ETH on Coinbase. We'd probably all consider this entry-level. When we think of investing into real-estate we think it is a far stretch from where we are right now. But, what if I told you otherwise? In this episode I'm joined by Taylor Wing! Taylor is finishing up his time in the military and transitioning to full-time real estate where he owns 30+ rentals, flips homes, creates tech for the industry, and mentors people who want to get started in real-estate. We discuss how Taylor got started, where he is at now, how easy it is to begin, and breaking down the barrier to entry!

    Ep.2 JOSH VOGEL | Modern Masculinity Epidemic

    Let's be honest, there's something going on here. If you look at the research you'll see testosterone levels on a massive decline, the number of obese men on a sky-rocketing incline, and so much more info that shows the unfortunate trajectory men are on. So what does this mean? A masculinity crisis. Today I’m joined by my friend, Josh Vogel, who is actively serving in the military as a sergeant in the US army, an elite level bodybuilder and powerlifter sponsored by Glaxon, a full time student, and a coach helping men reclaim their manhood.  In this episode we discuss the modern masculinity epidemic and how men can fight back to reclaim their manhood. - GoFundMe Link for Juju: https://gofund.me/e203fd66 - Follow Josh: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vogelitis Apply for coaching: https://linktr.ee/thejoshvogel - Follow me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brewingupaconversation
