    #018 - Kade Routolo - Who Am I Without My Sport?

    Kade Ruotolo is one of the most dominant grapplers of his generation — a multiple-time world champion, elite martial artist, and rising MMA fighter known for his pace, creativity, and relentless belief in himself. But in this episode, Kade joins us during a much quieter chapter: recovering from the most challenging injury of his life. Coming off a full ACL tear and PRP treatment, Kade opens up about the mental side of being sidelined — not just from competition, but from movement, training, and the identity he’s carried since childhood. We talk about navigating recovery when everyone has an opinion, learning to trust your body’s intuition, and what happens when your sense of self is temporarily stripped away. This conversation goes beyond rehab protocols. We explore humility, discipline, martial arts, respect, and the belief system required to become one of the best in the world. Kade also reflects on the small moments that shaped him — including a brief interaction with Nate Diaz as a kid — and how gestures from role models can leave a lifelong impact. This episode is about recovery, identity, belief, and the discipline required to rebuild from the inside out.

    Bianca Valenti is one of the most respected big wave surfers in the world — and a pioneer who helped change the sport forever. She was a leading voice in the fight for equal pay in professional surfing, helped open doors for women in big wave competition, and continues to push the boundaries of what longevity in surfing can look like.

Dr. Dino is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Athlete Rehab & Performance Specialist, and Primary Spine Practitioner who has been serving athletes and active individuals since 2011.

    #015 - Shaun Lopez and Dr. April Mancuso Reynolds - Reclaiming Agency In Health

    Shaun Lopez is a Maui-based renewable energy engineer, big-wave surfer, and the host of The Buoy Report, where he explores how energy moves through systems — from solar grids and island communities to the ocean and the human body. In this episode of The Process, Dr. Masi Reynolds sits down with Shaun and his wife, Dr. April Mancuso Reynolds, for a rare three-person conversation about injury, infertility, parenthood, and healing. What began as a knee injury at Jaws during a powerful Eddie swell became an unexpected turning point — one that reshaped how they think about medicine, effort, and trust. Shaun and April share their fertility journey with honesty, including the frustration of being told “nothing can change,” the importance of asking better questions, and how diet, regenerative medicine, and mindset helped restore balance. At the center of it all is energy — how it’s stored, depleted, renewed, and influenced by intention. In the second half of the episode, Shaun steps into his Buoy Report role and asks a defining question: What does energy mean to you? From there, the conversation expands into discipline, fatherhood, calculated risk, and learning when to push — and when to let go. This episode is about agency, resilience, and trusting the process in health, performance, and life. 00:17 — Introduction01:12 — Three Voices, One Conversation03:48 — Questioning Certainty07:26 — Trust, Data, & Advocacy08:20 — The Jaws Injury11:24 — Injury as a Turning Point14:10 — Infertility & “Nothing Can Change”19:34 — Food Is Information20:34 — The Egg Quality Reset24:22 — Surrender & Spiritual Healing29:00 — Fatherhood Changes Risk39:32 — Calculated vs Reckless49:44 — What Is Energy?01:04:48 — Discipline as a System01:18:14 — Letting Go as Power01:32:29 — Closing Reflections Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/shaun.lopezzz/ Check out The Buoy Report:https://thebuoyreport.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/doctor.aprilm/ This video is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    #014 - Makua Rothman - Becoming a Villain for Good

    Makua Rothman ( @makua ) is a Big Wave World Champion, respected waterman, and musician from the North Shore of Oʻahu — a product of Hawaiian lineage, heavy surf, and the cultural roots that shaped him. But in this episode, Makua joins me to share a story far deeper than titles or waves. Though many know Makua for his accomplishments, few have heard the full truth behind his transformation. Injury, addiction, and personal unraveling forced him to confront who he was becoming — as an athlete, a father, and a man. What emerged was a renewed commitment to discipline, honesty, and living with intention.In this conversation, Makua and I explore identity, recovery, and the belief systems we inherit from our families, our culture, and sometimes our trauma. We talk about choosing your “hard,” how small wins create momentum, and why the best wave Makua ever experienced wasn’t one he rode, but one he watched someone ride for the first time. Makua also shares the deeper meaning behind Villains for Good — his movement devoted to truth, integrity, and living with aloha, even when misunderstood.We get into the connection between mindset, nutrition, and mental health, the spiritual side of healing, and the discipline required to rebuild a life from the inside out. This episode is ultimately about accountability, forgiveness, and the courage to become the person you were meant to be. --- Follow Makua: https://www.instagram.com/makuarothman/ Listen to Makua’s Music: https://www.youtube.com/@makuakairothman https://open.spotify.com/artist/3jLRWHcXHgVSx7Kith9jc0 --- Chapters 00:00 — Introduction 01:56 — Opening Theme & Disclaimer 02:20 — Makua’s Story Begins 07:32 — Choosing Your Hard 12:45 — Blessing or Burden? 14:18 — The Best Wave I Never Rode 15:09 — Legacy & Lineage 17:23 — Accountability & Truth 22:34 — Surgery Is Always an Option 20:11 — Belief Systems & Ancestry 24:59 — Discipline as Medicine 30:05 — Villains for Good 31:22 — Jesus Was a Villain for Good 33:40 — “I’m a Villain for Good” 43:56 — Parenting With Emotional Intelligence 46:04 — Youth Sports & Pressure 52:36 — The 1% Mindset 55:07 — Protecting Your Mind 56:06 — Forgiveness & Tough Love 1:06:14 — A Knee Is a Knee 1:08:16 — Closing Reflections --- This video is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    #013 - Jessie Salas - Consistency Builds Longevity

    Jessie Salas spent nearly two decades in the fire service, carrying the weight of a career that demanded everything from his body and mind. But it wasn’t one injury that pushed him out — it was a calling. Through years of wear and tear, training, and searching for better answers, Jessie discovered Foundation Training, and it transformed not only his own health but also the way he serves others. In this episode, Dr. Masi sits down with Jessie to explore what it means to “train your foundation.” They dive into Jessie’s transition from firefighter to movement educator, his powerful lessons from Dr. Eric Goodman, and how tools like PRP, KAATSU straps, and cold immersion are reshaping the way we approach recovery, resilience, and longevity. Along the way, Jessie shares stories of training Madonna and reflects on Oprah Winfrey’s transformation — proof that movement has no age limit. But the conversation doesn’t stop at the physical. Jessie opens up about the deeper work of Joe Dispenza meditations, free diving, and the daily rituals that keep him grounded while serving others. This episode is about resilience, reinvention, and the power of building from the inside out.

    Billy Kemper is a four-time Peʻahi (Jaws) Champion, Big Wave World Champion, and one of the most respected surfers of his generation. Known for charging the heaviest waves on Earth — and surviving the ones that nearly took his life — Billy has built a legacy on grit, preparation, and an unshakable belief in purpose.But behind the highlight reels is a man who’s had to rebuild from the inside out. From life-threatening injuries and concussions to the loss of his mother and the daily work of fatherhood, Billy’s story is one of resilience, faith, and transformation. In this episode, Dr. Masi Reynolds sits down with Billy for a candid conversation about the cost of greatness — what it takes to reach the top, what it demands of a family, and how to evolve when the old mindset no longer serves. Billy opens up about balancing his drive as an athlete with his role as a husband and father, the mental toll of recovery, and how he found meaning beyond competition.He also breaks down his training and recovery system — from NAD and stem-cell therapy to the lessons learned under surf coach Kahea Hart, the mentor behind some of Hawaii’s best watermen. Together, they explore how physical healing and emotional awareness go hand in hand, and why real success begins when the scoreboard disappears.This conversation is about presence, purpose, and the lifelong process of becoming whole — in body, mind, and spirit. --- Connect with Billy Kemper: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/billykemper YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@BillyKemper --- Follow Dr. Masi / The Process: nstagram → https://www.instagram.com/doctor.masi/ --- This video is for informational purposes only.

    #011 - Julia Mancuso - Live Life on Your Own Terms

    Julia Mancuso, known to the world as “Super Jules,” is one of the greatest ski racers of all time. A four-time Olympic medalist (including gold in Giant Slalom at Torino 2006), five-time World Championship medalist, and with 36 World Cup podiums, Julia’s career was defined by fearless racing and doing things her own way. From skipping grades in school to training on Maui when others doubted, she carved a path that inspired a generation of athletes. But behind the medals was a body fighting hip dysplasia, labrum tears, and years of pain. Her story is one of defiance, resilience, and reinvention—choosing joy even when the road was anything but easy. In this episode, Dr. Masi sits down with Julia to explore her career against the grain: how “Super Jules” transformed setbacks into fuel, the lessons she learned navigating surgeries and hip replacement, and the decision every athlete faces—“how many years are you asking for back?” Along the way, Julia reflects on the confidence her mother instilled, the evolution from ski racing to raising a family on Tavarua, and why surfing and foiling in her 40s keeps her pushing limits. This conversation is about intuition, purpose, and the courage to live life on your own terms. --- Connect with Julia Mancuso: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/juliamancuso YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@JuliaMancusoOfficial Julia’s Vlog (Hip Surgery Journey & More) → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hDW0O0_fHQ --- Follow Dr. Masi / The Process: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/doctor.masi/ --- This video is for informational purposes only.
