    Fighting for Family: Patience, Perseverance, and the Title Hunt with Jordan "Amu" Miles

    In this moving episode at Genesis Fighting Academy, Will Carr sits down with Jordan "Amu" Miles, an amateur lightweight contender on the verge of his first title fight. Jordan pulls back the curtain on a childhood defined by survival, being raised in a household of nine by a single mother, and the "vague, trench-like" past he left behind to become a father and a fighter. From the discipline of three-a-day training sessions to the emotional weight of fighting for his kids and his cancer-survivor grandmother, Jordan’s story is a testament to the power of finding a "chosen family" in the gym. Main Topics Covered The Road to Genesis: Jordan’s transition from smaller gyms to finding a home at Genesis and how the coaching staff shaped his current trajectory. The Lesson of Patience: Why "staying long" and being patient is the most important lesson Jordan has learned from Coach Jake Ramos. Jiu-Jitsu vs. Wrestling: A deep dive into why Jordan loves the "methodical" nature of Jiu-Jitsu compared to the "gritty" and "rough" reputation of wrestling. The 155 Title Hunt: The upcoming January 31st championship fight for Colorado Combat and the frustration of having multiple opponents pull out in the previous year. Childhood in the Trenches: Jordan shares the raw reality of growing up without knowing his father and seeing his mother work tirelessly to support their extended family. Fighting for a Reason: A vulnerable discussion on why Jordan dedicates every punch and every medal to his mother, his grandmother (a cancer survivor), and his two sons. The Legacy of Fatherhood: Jordan’s mission to be the example for his sons that he never had, including watching his six-year-old follow in his footsteps in Jiu-Jitsu. The Power of the Facility: Why Jordan believes there is "no other gym" like Genesis and how the family atmosphere breeds success. Key Takeaways Stay Long, Stay Patient: Success in the ring (and in life) often comes from reigning in the desire to "fire off like a rocket" and instead sticking to the methodical plan. Your Team is Your Vibe: A coaching staff should do more than just push you physically; they must understand your unique vibe and identity as an athlete. Persevere through the No-Shows: Jordan faced three cancellations last year but stayed "trucking" toward his goal, proving that consistency eventually leads to opportunity. Purpose Over Pain: Hardships from the past—like a vague childhood or a lack of photos—can be channeled into a powerful drive to build a better, documented future for the next generation.

    Fighting for Peace: MMA, Mental Health, and Self-Actualization with Micah Haas

    Micah Haas is a professional fighter with a 7-0 record, but his toughest battles weren't won in a cage. After losing two brothers to suicide and emancipating himself at 15, Micah found that martial arts was more than just a sport—it was a survival strategy. In this episode, Will Carr sits down with Micah at Genesis Fighting Academy to discuss why fighting saved his life, the hollow reality of six-figure months in real estate, and how "getting punched in the face" provides the ultimate clarity for mental health. Main Topics Covered The Path to 7-0: Micah reflects on his rapid start in professional MMA, fighting five times in just 14 months, and his transition into a more methodical stage of his career. A Childhood of Self-Survival: Growing up with five brothers and emancipating himself at age 15 to live with his wrestling coach. MMA as a Lifeline: How martial arts rescued Micah from self-destructive thoughts and the grief of losing siblings to suicide. The "Six Figure" Depression: Micah shares the turning point when he reached peak financial success in real estate only to realize he was more depressed than ever, leading him to sell everything and move to Colorado. Finding Chosen Family: The deep, parental bond Micah shares with coaches Jake and Amanda Ramos at Genesis Fighting Academy. Combat as Art, Not Violence: A shift in perspective on how society views fighters vs. the peaceful, ego-less reality of the gym community. The Power of Listening: Micah’s raw advice on how to be a supportive partner for those struggling with mental health—and why "shutting up and listening" is the ultimate act of love. Key Takeaways Self-Actualization Over Financial Independence: Money can buy comfort and experiences, but purpose and drive come from aligning your daily actions with what truly brings you joy. Love Yourself First: Until you can sit in a room alone and truly love who you are—separate from materialistic success—you cannot fully love others or your life. Give Up Control: Micah advocates for working hard on what you can change, then giving away the need to control the outcome to destiny or a higher power. Community is Sustaining Joy: The "extreme" love and support found in a team environment can transcend biological family and provide a foundation for mental resilience.

    BARE KNUCKLE: The Brutal Truth on Pain, Respect, and Coming Back from a KO

    What does it actually feel like to hear your own bones "crunch" mid-fight? In this episode, Will Carr sits down with pro bare knuckle fighter Keegan Vandermeer at Genesis Fighting Academy to uncover the raw reality of the world's most unforgiving sport. Keegan opens up about the terrifying recovery from a devastating knockout, why "manners" are essential in combat, and how he manages the high-stakes transition from Muay Thai champion to professional bare knuckle brawler. If you've ever wondered about the thin line between fighting and business, this "fire up" conversation is for you. 🚀 MAIN TOPICS COVERED: The Bare Knuckle Mindset: Why fighting without gloves requires a calm, methodical approach. Keegan explains why you must "count on being hurt" whether you win or lose. The Transition from Muay Thai: How a national title-winning amateur career led to a surprise call from BKFC and a broken hand in his very first pro bout. Recovering from the Lows: A vulnerable look at the physical and emotional aftermath of a knockout loss, including a broken orbital, a reset nose, and the "restlessness" of recovery. The "Hammer and the Nail": Keegan discusses the importance of having been on both sides of a victory to build a complete fighter’s perspective. Street Fights vs. The Business: Why real-world altercations humbled Keegan and pushed him toward organized competition to protect his "money makers" (his hands). Guiding Principles: The role of respect, manners, and the "Yes, sir/No, sir" mentality in a sport that most people view as barbaric. Focused Energy: Why Keegan avoids high-risk hobbies like snowboarding to ensure his career longevity and stay "sharp" for the ring. 💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Expect the Pain: In bare knuckle fighting, injury is an eventuality. Success depends on how you deal with the "crunch" of a knuckle or a nose mid-fight. Discipline Over Instinct: When the pressure is on, poorly trained instincts fail. A fighter must rely on methodical training to navigate the distance and timing of a match. Respect is the Foundation: Keegan argues that respect and manners allow an athlete to handle the "serious business" of combat with level-headed composure. The "Get Back Up" Mentality: Career-ending moments are only final if you choose to walk away. Resilience is found in taking the lessons from the lows and getting back on the horse. 🔗 CONNECT WITH KEEGAN VANDERMEER: Instagram: @keegan_vandermeer Gym: Genesis Fighting Academy 🎙️ CONNECT WITH WILL CARR: Website: willcarrspeaks.com YouTube: @willcarrspeaks Spotify: Will Carr Speaks Instagram: @willcarrspeaks X (Twitter): @willcarrspeaks Health & Wellness: geneseenutrition.com Enjoyed this episode?

    The Inventor’s Journey: From Idea to Multi-Million Dollar Exit with Jonathan Thorne

    In this episode, Will sits down with his mentor, Jonathan Thorne, an inventor, engineer, and entrepreneur who mastered the high-stakes world of medical devices. Jonathan shares the raw, unvarnished truth about the "seven failed boxes" in his garage that preceded his massive success with Silverglide, and how a two-year legal battle for his life's work actually tripled the company's value. From bungee jumping ventures to global medical exits, this conversation is a masterclass in the grit required to turn a material object into a flourishing business. 🚀 MAIN TOPICS COVERED: The "Sticky" Problem: How an early failure with a collagen patch led to the invention of non-stick silver surgical probes. The Pivot to Profit: Why Jonathan’s first product "rounded to zero" in sales and how shifting to non-stick bipolar forceps turned a niche gadget into a "painkiller" product. The Seven Failed Boxes: A masterclass in entrepreneurship as a "sickness." Jonathan discusses the importance of archiving failures and why it took eight tries to hit a home run. The $30M Litigation Gamble: The harrowing story of a supplier stealing IP right as an exit was planned and how winning that battle 3x'd the company valuation. Bungee Jumping & Hot Air Balloons: A look back at one of Jonathan’s early ventures. What he learned about fixed vs. variable costs while jumping 78-year-old women out of balloons. B2B Marketing Mastery: Why the "sexiness" of a product isn't just for consumers, but for sterile processing departments and scrub nurses too. The "King" vs. The Exit: The emotional reality of selling a company, losing your "throne," and watching a larger entity execute the future vision. Advice for New Entrepreneurs: Why Jonathan suggests starting small and writing a full business plan before ever taking money from relatives. 💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Painkillers vs. Enablers: A successful invention either allows someone to do something they couldn't do before or removes an existing, frustrating pain. Jonathan argues the "painkiller" is often an easier sell. Grit is the Great Equalizer: Tenacity and the refusal to quit are more predictive of success than IQ or elite schooling. Plan Before You Deviate: You cannot successfully pivot a business if you never had a core plan to begin with. The plan provides the baseline for every necessary change. Salability Over Concept: Don't ask for investment when you have "two wet sticks." Wait until you have a fire (proof of concept and actual sales) before you pour on the gasoline. 🔗 CONNECT WITH JONATHAN THORNE: Company: Surgical Coatings LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-thorne-81537811/ 🎙️ CONNECT WITH WILL CARR: Website: willcarrspeaks.com YouTube: @willcarrspeaks Spotify: Will Carr Speaks Instagram: @willcarrspeaks X (Twitter): @willcarrspeaks Health & Wellness: geneseenutrition.com Enjoyed this episode?

    Vertical Integration and Real Estate Resilience with Charles Phanumphai

    In this episode, Will sits down with Charles Phanumphai, founder of Snowcap Properties, a niche real estate firm operating in the heart of Colorado’s Grand County. Charles shares how a unique business model focused on midterm and seasonal rentals allowed his company to flourish while others struggled. From navigating the aftermath of the East Troublesome Fire to predicting the "normalization" of the housing market, this conversation is a deep dive into what it takes to be a flexible, opportunistic entrepreneur in a volatile economy. 🚀 MAIN TOPICS COVERED: The East Troublesome Catalyst: How the second-largest wildfire in Colorado history unexpectedly catapulted Charles’s business by creating a massive demand for insurance-funded relocation housing. The Midterm Rental Niche: Why Snowcap Properties focuses on 6-to-9-month seasonal leases, serving ski enthusiasts in the winter and "heat refugees" in the summer. Short-Term Rental "Murder": A breakdown of the 30% year-over-year revenue decrease hitting STR owners in Grand County due to oversupply and shifting travel habits. The "Condotel" Trap: Why financing a condo-hotel is significantly more expensive and difficult than a traditional investment property. Macro Trends & "Rental Nation": A discussion on why high interest rates and record-high home prices are turning the U.S. into a nation of renters—and why that might be a strategic win for young investors. Vertical Integration: Why Charles expanded from property management into buying and selling, ensuring his clients never have to leave his ecosystem. The "Good Life" Philosophy: Will and Charles discuss finding joy in community, the importance of "learn mode," and why living under your means is the true key to freedom. Superpowers & Immortality: A fun wrap-up on teleportation, time travel, and whether modern science can help us live to be 250. 💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS: Zoom Out for Perspective: Real estate is a forgiving industry if you have a 10-to-30-year horizon. Short-term "blips" in the market are less painful when your properties are generating long-term equity. Local Expertise is the "Secret Sauce": Scaling a business requires more than just capital; it requires "quality human resources" who understand the nuances of a specific community (like knowing which appliance repairman to call). Be a "Subject Matter Expert" but Remain Curious: While focus is vital, entrepreneurs must be willing to challenge their own beliefs and adapt their models when the "writing is on the wall." Financial Independence (FI) vs. Survival Mode: Stepping out of survival mode allows you to be fully present in your life, your family, and your passions. 🔗 CONNECT WITH CHARLES PHANUMPHAI: Website: Snowcap Properties LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamung/ 🎙️ CONNECT WITH WILL CARR: Website: willcarrspeaks.com YouTube: @willcarrspeaks Spotify: Will Carr Speaks Instagram: @willcarrspeaks X (Twitter): @willcarrspeaks Health & Wellness: geneseenutrition.com Enjoyed this episode?

    Betting on Certainty: Risk, Poker, and the Future of Web3 with Rafe Furst

    Rafe Furst isn't just a tech veteran; he’s a professional poker player who treats business like the ultimate high-stakes game. From the wild early days of Full Tilt Poker to pioneering the first public "conglomerate" for blockchain technology, Rafe has spent 30 years mastering the art of the calculated bet. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a crypto enthusiast, or someone trying to find your identity beyond your 9-to-5, this episode offers a masterclass in timing, conviction, and building a life fueled by passion rather than just profit. Main Topics Covered 1. The Accidental Mogul: How Rafe went from a 12-year-old computer programmer to a catalyst for Full Tilt Poker, one of the largest online poker sites in history. 2. The Math of Decision Making: Why the skills required to be a professional poker player—making strategic decisions under inherent uncertainty—are identical to those needed for venture capital and entrepreneurship. 3. The "Light Bulb" Moment: Rafe’s first encounter with the Satoshi White Paper in 2010 and how he realized that "inefficient" computing was actually the key to global security. 4. Early vs. Too Early: A candid discussion on the "Art of Timing," using The Big Short’s Michael Burry as a cautionary tale for visionaries. 5. The Crypto Company Vision: Why Rafe co-founded a public company to give "everyday people" safe access to blockchain and Web3 without the terror of managing private keys alone. 6. Identity Beyond the Resume: Why Rafe and Will believe the question "What do you do?" is a conversational trap, and what we should be asking instead. 7. The Ultimate Road Trip: The legendary story of Rafe and his "wingman" Phil Gordon spending an entire year in an RV, traveling from Super Bowl to Super Bowl. Key Takeaways 1. Risk is Information: Success isn't about avoiding risk, but about making calculated bets with resources when you have 80% of the knowledge and 100% of the conviction. 2. The Power of Your Circle: Almost every major breakthrough in Rafe’s life—from online gaming to Bitcoin—came from a friend or a "geeky" community. Who you hang out with determines what you see first. 3. Liquidity is the Great De-risker: Traditional venture capital locks money away for a decade; Rafe argues that the future of tech investing lies in providing "aligned expansion capital" with the exit strategy already in mind. 4. "Who are you?" over "What do you do?": True connection happens when you define yourself by your values (faith, community, ethics) and your passions (skiing, skydiving) rather than your job title.
