    Episode 24: My mom: Josephine Borro

    This episode is a little different—and one that means a lot. I sat down with my mom to talk about her life before kids, the challenges she faced, the lessons she tried to teach us (that we probably didn’t appreciate at the time), and the stories that shaped our family. From funny memories to real conversations about resilience, sacrifice, and what actually matters—this is one of the most honest episodes we’ve done. If you’ve ever thought about asking your parents deeper questions… this is your sign.

    Episode 20: Mindset & Intention: How You Show Up Matters

    In Episode 20 of the Intrepid Golden Podcast, we break down two things that quietly dictate your results—mindset and intention. It’s not about motivation. It’s not about hype. It’s about how you choose to show up. We talk about: •Why mindset is the lens you see the work through •How intention gives direction to effort •The difference between just “getting through it” and actually growing •Why hard days, when approached correctly, are often the most productive Whether you’re in the gym, at work, or navigating life outside of training, this episode is about showing up on purpose—with clarity, composure, and accountability. You don’t need perfect conditions. You need a clear intention. Press play, set the tone, and do the work.
