In this episode, we explore the warrior mindset through the lens of undisputed boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk , a man defying age and odds through discipline, legacy, and spiritual strength. We reflect on how true greatness comes from honour, work ethic and a refusal to be broken by adversity.

We dive into the difference between emotional health and mental illness, questioning whether society is pathologising natural emotions to feed Big Pharma. From lockdown trauma to the rise in ADHD and antidepressants, we explore how healing often lies in nature, routine and spiritual alignment, not medication.

We discuss fluoride, pesticides, and hidden toxins in food, water, and medicine, asking if these systems are designed to suppress human potential. We break down how TV, media, and Hollywood manipulate the subconscious, and how we can reprogram ourselves by choosing what we consume, mentally and spiritually.

We talk about the loss of honour among men, broken unity in society, and how subcultures like simps and roadmen reflect a deeper identity crisis. We touch on rising crime, police failings, and the disconnect between the elite and working class, sharing real stories of injustice and corruption.

Ultimately, we finish on a message of love, purpose and self-leadership encouraging listeners to rise above fear, reject victimhood and live with discipline and higher consciousness. This is a bold, honest conversation for those ready to break free and raise their vibration.

In this episode of The Life Dojo Podcast, we sit down with Joe Watkins, a strength and conditioning coach in elite sport to talk about his new philosophy: The Whole Way a system that blends cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom to help people win in both sport and life. We dive into how the grind mentality in fitness and sport often neglects the human element, rest, self-awareness and emotional regulation.

We discuss everything from the mental and spiritual aspects of performance to the dark side of sports. We explore how many people avoid real growth by chasing quick fixes, be it phones, substances or material distractions. I share personal stories around trauma, success, and how discipline not motivation is what truly drives transformation.

We tackle big topics: capitalism’s impact on family and connection, digital addiction, media manipulation, masculinity and how society pulls us away from authenticity and presence. We talk about embracing challenge, rewiring the nervous system and finding strength through breathwork, meditation and staying true to yourself.

This conversation is raw, real and unapologetically honest, a reminder to challenge the status quo, reconnect with what matters, and laugh a little more along the way

In this episode, we go deep.

We explore the role of mainstream religion as a potential control system and how it may disconnect people from true spiritual growth. From debates between atheists and Christians to the prison conversion pipeline, we look at religion’s power, contradictions and cultural impacts.

We question modern protest culture, the transgender debate and whether society is pushing ideologies instead of healing. We highlight the ripple effect of working on yourself instead of fighting the system blindly.

We dive into ancient wisdom, from Bushido philosophy to the Dogon tribe and the Elohim, asking whether ancient "myths" could be misunderstood history. Is humanity’s true power being hidden?

We speak about war, duality, combat sports, and how competition mirrors primal instincts. We touch on how man moved from harmony to control and how the current system manipulates us away from nature, truth and unity.

Finally, we look at the cost of living crisis, addiction, and how what seems like breakdown might actually be a breakthrough, leading us back to purpose, clarity and a higher way of living.

This is a raw, challenging and expansive conversation for those questioning everything and seeking deeper truth.

PEDs in combat sports, Social Programming & The Power of Nature

In this eye-opening episode of The Life Dojo Podcast, we explore the hidden forces shaping our minds, health, and society.

We begin with a raw conversation on PEDs in combat sports, drawing from real experience in MMA and questioning the safety, ethics and corruption in boxing today. We then dive into controversial topics like Magic Johnson’s HIV diagnosis, the double-edged sword of technology and how social media and attention culture have replaced true connection.

We challenge societal labels, explore religious unity across cultures and discuss how being in high-level environments can elevate your personal and business growth. We also break down how mainstream sport is used to distract and control the masses, just like the Roman gladiator arenas of old.

On a deeper level, we explore how collective consciousness is being dulled, why emotional control is vital and how walking the path of the higher self is key in resisting division and anger.

We finish with a powerful look at our spiritual connection to animals and nature from jaguars and lions to our own pets. Are animals conscious beings? Do they communicate spiritually? This episode brings it all together: mindset, media, nature and the journey to true self-mastery.
