    Formless Pod #150 6.13.2026 Trainer Benny Green

    Trainer, Fighter, Musician, Vegan On this episode of The Formless Podcast, Dustin sits down with Benny Green, a Muay Thai practitioner, fighter, and trainer originally from London, England. Benny's path through martial arts has been anything but typical. A vegetarian since birth, he began training as a child in more traditional styles of Karate before eventually embracing a vegan lifestyle, playing metal music, and finding his true home in the world of Muay Thai. The conversation explores Benny's martial arts journey, the lessons learned from different training environments, how personal identity evolves over time, and the role discipline plays in shaping who we become. From traditional martial arts roots to the culture of Muay Thai, Benny shares insights gained through years of training, teaching, and fighting.

    Formless Pod #149 6.6.2026 Take a leasson from Jordan

    Formless Pod #149 | 6.6.2026Take a Lesson from Jordan Dustin and Tyler "The Super Human" take a lesson from Jordan as they talk about photography, walking dogs, and developing the right "dog-like attitude" toward life. Along the way, they explore the importance of making memories, being present for the moments that matter, and finding value in the simple things we often overlook. The conversation also turns toward martial arts and self-improvement as they reflect on their Black Belt test and take an honest look at the parts where they came up short. What did they fail? What lessons did they learn? And how can failure become a stepping stone to growth? This episode is a mix of mindset, martial arts philosophy, personal reflection, and the everyday experiences that shape who we become.

    Formless Pod #148 5.30.2026 Sharpen the Ax

    In a departure from the norm, Dustin and Tyler "The Super Human" go completely off script. What begins with a quote from the opening of the show turns into a wide-ranging conversation about splitting wood, sharpening the ax, filmmaking, and the timeless process of telling stories. The discussion explores the value of preparation before action, the importance of refining your tools and skills, and how the best stories often come full circle. From hard work and craftsmanship to creativity and personal growth, Dustin and Tyler connect lessons from everyday life to the deeper ideas that shape how we think and live. If you're interested in storytelling, philosophy, mindset, creativity, martial arts, and continuous self-improvement, this episode offers a thoughtful and entertaining journey through seemingly unrelated topics that all connect in the end.

    Formless Pod #147 5.23.2026 There is no spoon.

    What does the famous line from The Matrix really mean? In this episode, Dustin and Tyler "The Super Human" explore the philosophy behind "There is no spoon" and how our perception of obstacles can shape the way we experience reality. Often, we become so focused on solving a problem, overcoming resistance, or forcing a result that we never stop to question the assumptions creating the problem in the first place. Drawing lessons from martial arts, mindset, and personal growth, Dustin and Tyler discuss how many of the barriers we struggle against are mental constructs. By changing perspective, we may discover that the obstacle was never what we thought it was—or that it wasn't there at all. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or trapped by a challenge, this conversation offers a different way to look at the problems standing in your path.

    Formless Pod #144 5.2.2026 Plan, Execute, and Recover, with Doug "Ziggy" Zeal

    The Formless Podcast #144 | 05.02.26 In this episode of The Formless Podcast, Dustin and Tyler “The Super Human” sit down with Doug Zeal, also known as “Ziggy,” to talk about his journey through Wu Ying Tao, growing up in Portland, and how he eventually became a coach and teacher under Randy Zank. Doug shares stories from the early days of training, the culture surrounding martial arts, and the lessons that come from years of dedication to teaching and personal growth. The conversation dives into lineage, mentorship, martial arts philosophy, and the importance of preserving knowledge from the generations that came before us. On a personal level, this episode carries special meaning. At the school where Dustin and Tyler train, portraits hang on the wall honoring the teachers who helped shape their system and community. Out of the five portraits displayed, they have now interviewed three of those teachers on the podcast—something they consider a true honor and a way to preserve the history and spirit of the art. This episode is about more than martial arts—it’s about legacy, respect, tradition, and carrying knowledge forward for the next generation.
