In this episode, I share my personal journey with resiliency—what it means to “be where your feet are,” how to handle anxiety about the future, and why facing life’s hardest moments one step at a time is the key to moving forward. I’ll talk about my early entrepreneurial days, lessons learned from the military, and the powerful advice from my late best friend Talon that has carried me through some of life’s hardest seasons.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• “Be where your feet are” — focus fully on the present moment, not on future unknowns.
• Only worry about the “closest alligator to the boat” — solve the problem right in front of you.
• Worry alone is useless; move from anxiety to action by making a plan.
• Entrepreneurship (and life) is a contact sport — expect challenges and prepare to respond.
• Resiliency is built through presence, planning, and executing one step at a time.

In this episode, I break down how to run a sub-6 minute mile—even if you’re not a “runner.” This framework is built for the well-rounded athlete: strong in the gym, fast on the track, and still fitting training into a busy life. I’ve used this exact system to hit sub-6 consistently, and I’ve coached countless others to do the same, all without training for hours a day.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• You don’t need marathon-level mileage—just smart, targeted conditioning.
• Use the three energy systems: Gain (short bursts), Pain (intense efforts), and Sustain (longer intervals).
• Interval training is the fastest way to improve mile time when you’re limited on time.
• Consistency across intervals matters more than volume—stop when your performance drops.
• Combine this with bodyweight strength work (like my pull-up program) for a complete, efficient system.

📌 Example Protocols:

• Gain: 30s on, 90s off — start with 5 intervals, build up while maintaining consistency.
• Pain: 2m on, 4m off — very hard efforts, 5–10 intervals max.
• Sustain: 5m on, 5m off — 3–5 intervals at aerobic threshold or Zone 2.

⏱️ Chapters:

• 00:00 Who This Is For (Well-Rounded Athletes)
• 01:05 Why a Sub-6 Mile Matters
• 02:00 The Simplicity of Energy System Training
• 03:15 Gain Workouts (Explosiveness & Power)
• 04:30 Pain Workouts (The Hard Stuff No One Trains)
• 06:00 Sustain Workouts (Aerobic & Threshold)
• 07:25 Putting It All Together in a Week
• 08:20 Why Fitness Fuels Every Part of Life

In this episode, I show you how to get off your damn phone—so you can take back control of your mind, sharpen your focus, and be more present. The average American spends 4.5 hours a day on their phone, mostly doom-scrolling. I’ve cut my screen time down to about 29 minutes a day, and the difference in clarity, presence, and enjoyment of life is huge. Here’s the system I use and how you can do it too.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Most phone time isn’t productive—it’s addictive by design, draining your energy and focus.
• I use an app called Opal (no affiliation) to block distracting apps with strict schedules.
• The key is the Allow List—only keeping essential apps (GPS, camera, Audible, Spotify, kids’ sports apps, etc.).
• Set different rules for weekdays and weekends—block during family time and cut down work distractions.
• Even if you need Instagram or another app for business, set strict daily limits (15–30 minutes max).
• Track your average daily screen time to make sure your system is actually working.

⏱️ Chapters:

• 00:00 Why You Need to Get Off Your Phone
• 01:05 The Average 4.5 Hours Problem
• 02:15 The App I Use: Opal
• 03:45 Building an Effective Allow List
• 05:20 My Weekday and Weekend Schedules
• 07:10 Handling Instagram for Business
• 08:15 Why You Can’t “Just Use Discipline”
• 09:20 Final Thoughts: Protect Your Mind, Be Present
