A Stoic wants to live well— and living well means dying well, too. A Stoic lives well through having a good character, and death is the final test of it. - Seneca



This very well could be the most meaningful podcast I've ever recorded. My conversation with Billy Aiton, a former client from CrossFit Scottsdale, was more than just a reminder that life is fragile. He shows us, shows me that every second counts.

This is coming from a man who's been given 60 days to live as of the recording of this episode. And as much as I don't want to see a friend leave this life to soon, the reality is he's facing his mortality.

But if you listen closely, you'll hear the will to live in every sentence he speaks. When he talks about his kids and how proud he is of them, you can't help but want to be like him. 

To those who know Billy, I pray this episode encapsulates the man you love. I hope it inspires you to hear your dad, husband, brother, and friend speak and be so thankful for you. He loves you.

In my line of work, I get the privilege of meeting so many people who inspire and motivate the world. Billy may very well be at the top of the list. 

Billy Aiton, I love you and am grateful I got this distinct opportunity to sit down with a friend and have a conversation far beyond us both. Let's keep Fighting, my brother! 



We Love you, Billy…

The LaLanne last name is not just famous in the fitness world, but everywhere else too if you were around in 1951 to the 80s. We've probably all heard about Jack LaLanne, the health and exercise expert a.k.a the Godfather of fitness. The one member of his family that followed in his footsteps was his nephew, Chris LaLanne. 



Chris was always into sports, but chose a different route with his competitive nature. He found success in bodybuilding and helping those he cares about get strong. He got a degree in Kinesiology from San Diego State and became a mastermind in fitness. Then, in 2006, he discovered CrossFit and never looked back. 



One of the main things Chris teaches is how to be fit between the ears. He systematically walks his clients through changing their life by how they think. Once that's in motion, physical peace follows. A key ingredient to his program is fasting and letting the body heal. This IS a major part of the definition of being "physically fit." 



Chris LaLanne's got an awesome presentation and can help you live your best life. He's been at it for 30 years and knows all the tricks on how to lead yourself. In this episode, let Chris' story help you start taking charge of your life. "Let's get you a custom plan to crush it mentally!"

Jake Parent is the founder of Breath.Energy, yes there's no dot com. He wants you to know you don't have to hold onto the weight of pain you've been holding. He wants you whole. Why? Let's back up for a second...



In his mid 40s and from a distance, he looked reasonably successful. But inside, he felt like he was driving around with the parking brake on. This describes most people listening to this episode now. He felt like he was underperforming at life, knowing it shouldn't be this hard. Something had to change, and something did change, he found his breath. This sent him down a journey to healing himself. If you ask him he'll tell you he's still healing, but that's the joy of the journey. 



After being on this path for years, something else happened… Jake had a vision of sixty people doing breath work together, and Breath.Energy was born. Breath.Energy was open for 3-4 months, and every week more and more people were coming. Fast forward some years and they're still walking humanity through the deep work of healing through breath. Jake says, "During breathwork we have encouraged our community to express the deepest most unseen parts of who they are. To say this work has been rewarding is an understatement. I am eternally grateful for the space we hold which allows people to feel, release, and find the joy in their lives. Through breathwork I have found my motto of life. Love is ALWAYS the answer." 



Jake wants everyone to experience the freedom so many have felt through this work. He wants YOU to experience what it's like to walk letting go of the weights that have held you back. It starts with a breath.

Adam Snodgrass of Makaha, Kailua Kona, is a self-proclaimed fishing fool who loves his family and romping around in the sand with his dogs! When you listen in between his words, you'll feel the rich history of Hawaii just by the description of a fish. Even more, you can hear the pain in his voice when talking about what has happened since the August fires. Allow yourself to get caught in the joy he has about the people he serves. But you must allow your heart to be pulled on for the people of Hawaii and specifically the people of Maui... just like Adam.

Let's get to it; Tripp Mehew has been on the frontlines of the Maui fire tragedy since it started. As a resident of Hawaii, he holds nothing back regarding the truth about what is going on at the ground level. Isn't he "that" conspiracy theorist? NO, he's literally walking, serving, and helping the people of Maui, as well as exposing what is REALLY going on. He's not regurgitating what someone is saying on the internet or the news, no, he's there WITH the people of Maui.



He attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a father, is a former Marine, and a passionate truth seeker. He will dig until he finds it. Today, when you have 1,000 voices and are not sure who to trust Tripp speaks of what he's experienced. He speaks of what he knows, and from a place of logic. Why? Because he cares about the people he's currently serving and wants to get them the help they need.



Tripp says, "Freedom is the ultimate feeling of personal empowerment. It leads to a rich and meaningful life that you are solely responsible for. Self-responsibility and mindful choices can elevate you to living your greatest purpose. We love life! And that is WHY we fight so hard against the tyranny and evil that is trying to destroy it."
