ChatPTP: Push the Pace

If you’re not already following Steven, you’re missing out on one of the most authentic and impactful voices in the podcast space. Former Army Ranger, former biker, and now a respected jiu jitsu gym owner — Steven’s lived a hundred lives and earned every stripe along the way. Ask any coach on the West Coast — they know who he is. His name carries weight throughout the PNW not because he chases fame, but because he shows up for people. On and off the mats, Steven leads with discipline, grit, and heart. His gym isn’t just a place to train — it’s a place where people find purpose. One of the most powerful stories? A man on the edge — ready to give up — found the strength to keep going because of Steven’s words, example, and belief in what training can do for the soul. That’s not just coaching. That’s saving lives. If you want real conversations from someone who’s lived it, led it, and bled for it — Steven and CHAPTP are it. #CHAPTP #StevenIsTheStandard #LeadershipMatters #JiuJitsuSavedMe #PNWStrong #RespectTheWarrior

Steve bring’n the fire on this one. Lots to relate on! Them 80s and 90s! The best years to be a kid!

Prof. Steven shares about himself, his family upbringing, and some of the sentinel things that launched him into becoming who he is today. These days manliness is a battleground. Steven shares some hardship of a physically present, but emotionally negligent father figure. This vulnerability is relatable, and honest. It is truly needed in these present times. He alludes to changing family legacy as a father engaging his sons in ways that he himself was not engaged. Namely, telling them “I love you.” Looking forward to the next one, hopeful to see a positive and honest trend from Steven for the good of people- particularly young men in our current culture.
