Great chat with renowned UFC referee Herb Dean, wherein we chat about his lifelong devotion to martial arts, the exotic locales he's visited by way of MMA, the international rise of the sport, and Fight Formula, the non-IV rehydration drink that he's launching with former MMA fighter, Savant Young.
Incredible hang with Kenny wherein we talk about what is the ego, and how do we banish it and get real. We explore why fighters, and people in general, think the facade protects them, but how it actually hinders personal and professional growth.
An amazing podcast with one of the founders of Tapout! Like or dislike the brand, this incredibly emotional episode chronicles the journey of three friends who hooked their wagon to the new 'sport' of MMA, and the wild times and the millions of dollars that followed... until the leader of their crew, Charles 'Mask' Lewis, died in a tragic car accident. That's when the drama really started. Buckle up.

Jake battled GSP in front of 60,000 rabid fans and also earned a blackbelt under Ceasar Gracie, despite (or because of?) never tasting meat—and that means beef, chicken, pork, fish, etc. Jake talks about being born on a commune and raised by hippy parents, one of whom, his father, was a badass green beret. See a pattern? Time to shatter stereotypes!
Sean McCully fought Erik Paulson less than two years after UFC 1. At this time there were very few Jiu Jitsu gyms in the U.S., and even fewer (maybe none) MMA gyms. He also founded L.A. Boxing, a franchise operation later acquired by the UFC.
