    55. Style, Surfing, and Freestyle Highline with David "Sakalomo" Palomo (SLACKLINE)

    55. Style, Surfing, and Freestyle Highline with David "Sakalomo" Palomo (SLACKLINE)

    In this first 2022 episode, we welcome David "Sakalomo" Palomo to the podcast. This podcast was recorded remotely with David in Spain and myself in Arizona. We drop into David's life story. His love for surfing and how that eventually led into a love for freestyle highline. He shares the growth and new found accessibility of the sport, what the line means to him, the difference in mental games between the highline and surfing, and why he feels so driven to pursue the line. He shares his inspiration for doing 30 days of combos, his connection with Ian, Dedalotrip, the meaning of Sakalomo, his experience doing the first all mighty with a guitar, filming While You Were Sleeping, and his vision for the future of the sport.
    David also shares the most difficult experience that he has had in the sport and how it has helped him grow and become a even better athlete.

    This is an amazing conversation with one of my favorites to ever do it. Such an honor to record this conversation and share it with you. Enjoy in joy!

    Athletic Performance Accelerator is my signature elite 90 day mindset transformation program. It is for athletes and performers ready to tap into the potential of their minds, be able to regulate their nervous system under high stress performances, and align to the level 99 version of themselves. Everything in the program I  have used to transform my life into a highline professional, entrepreneur, and podcast host. It's the cultivation of my life's work and what I will be offering in the world for years to come. We are launching a group version of the program for 10 athletes and performers starting next month.
    Shoot me a dm on Instagram if you are interested in joining or know of any athletes that could use this transformation.

    54. End of the Year Solocast (SELF MASTERY)

    54. End of the Year Solocast (SELF MASTERY)

    Welcome to the final episode of 2021! I felt the call to close out the year with a solocast and a reflection of many of the lessons that came up for me in 2021. In this episode, I share those significant 2021 lessons, the 2021 rose bud thorn, my word for 2022 and where I feel my direction is for the new year. I also share my vision for the podcast and the Athletic Performance Accelerator. This episode is vulnerable, raw, and I feel will resonate with a lot of you.

    Enjoy in Joy.

    Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts because that helps this thing grow and if you love this episode, share it with someone that you feel will also love it.

    As always, I love you so much and have a wonderful rest of 2021 and beginning of 2022. 

    This podcast is brought to you by my business the Athletic Performance Accelerator
    If you are an athlete, musician, performer, artist, creative, entrepreneur, or competitor the Athletic Performance Accelerator is the tool for you to elevate your game to the next level
    We have been honored to serve over 10 athletes and performers within the Athletic Performance Accelerator with many more to come. 
    Our speciality is redefining your limitations. Breaking through old patterns and beliefs to achieve new states of performance. With tools that allow you to reprogram your subconscious mind to begin perceiving yourself in your fullest potential, tools that allow you to regulate your nervous system and rev yourself up when it’s time to perform and slow yourself down when it’s best to be relaxed, and dialing in your ability to release self doubt and insecurity so you can stop comparing yourself to others and let go the questioning of if you are doing or being enough. 
    Most athletes and performers are used to dialing in their physical training yet neglecting to train their mind and soul. The APA solves those issue by offering the tools to dial in mindset, connection with soul, and to achieve greater states of flow. 
    After helping over 10 athletes and high level performers learn these tools and elevate their game, I am filled with joy to invite you to come into this program.
    We are opening more spots right now to work one on one. You can shoot me a direct message on Instagram to apply and book a call. 
    On the call we will cover what the Athletic Performance Accelerator can support you with, the investment, all the logistics and what will best work for you.

    53. Enter the Dragons - Imagination, Flow States, and Bruce Lee w/ Stefan Dragic (MUSIC)

    53. Enter the Dragons - Imagination, Flow States, and Bruce Lee w/ Stefan Dragic (MUSIC)

    Stefan Dragic returns to the Line to Mastery for his 4th episode appearance! This one is a special one as we had the opportunity to record in his childhood home growing up after leaving Bosnia as a toddler with his mom, brother, and grandparents. Before recording this conversation, we played around in the studio and recorded a song together that incorporated his studio skills, our flute and Didge playing. He shares how he has been dedicating his time to being in the studio cooking new music with the intention of releasing a full album in 2022.
    We drop into his inspiration from Rick Rubin as a producer for some of his own personal path with music and self mastery. How we are young dragons learning to wield our fire. The elements that we feel the most connected with and the ones that we desire to cultivate more in our life. Stefan shares his vision for the best anime ever inspired by the uniqueness and magic of our lives called “The Dao Boys.”
    Stefan shares the flow of freestyle in an acoustic song and the passion and fire that Bruce Lee has invoked in his life.
    This podcast as always is GOLD and it’s such an honor to record another FIRE conversation with Stefan. 
    He and I will be doing this co-creative dance for a really long time. Theres a lot of love in this episode and that’s the gift in it all, profound and evolutionary love between soul brothers that gets to be shared with other kindred souls.
    May this podcast fill your heart, your voice, and your being with more light and elemental connection for the life that you get to live and create here on Planet Earth.

Inspiring and approachable

Great podcast to inspire you to go after what you want! It’s motivated and encouraged me to want to get into slack-lining and Cam makes striving for optimization seem approachable and doable

Samjunk13 ,

So much resonance

Cam speaks his truth from his heart and it is felt so potently! I find it so easy to relate to his path to mastery and although slack lining ain’t my thing yet, it’s about to be now!

Essdee003 ,

Great young man, great conversations

Cam is a thoughtful and well researched podcaster who, above all else, is genuine and authentic about his experience! Can’t wait to hear more interview podcasts.
