    Why Men Need Training Partners More Than Motivation

    With the Shoulder to Shoulder Challenge right around the corner, this episode captures the why behind it. Jason and MDV talk through what they’re seeing in real time as thousands of men commit early, why training partners change everything, and how simple daily standards can reshape your mornings, your mindset, and your follow-through when life gets heavy. This isn’t about hype or perfection. It’s about structure. Accountability. And showing up shoulder to shoulder when motivation fades and discipline matters most. If you’ve been on the fence about the challenge, this episode gives you the perspective you need before it starts.

    How Did We Get Here? Men and the Crisis of Connection

    Jason and MDV dig into a statistic that’s hard to ignore — the growing percentage of men who report having zero close friends. They unpack why this is happening, what it means for your life, and why building real connection matters now more than ever. Along the way, they hit everything from Christmas music in November to airplane WiFi, rope burns in Cookeville, Rich Froning staying true to who he is, UFC talk, Jiu Jitsu, and how training interests shift as you age.
