Buckle up for one heckuva inspiring episode today as I sit down with my dear friend, legendary trainer, author, and now AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR…Greg Justice. Yep—you read that right. At 63 years young, Greg recently stepped onto the Ninja Warrior stage and showed the world what’s possible when faith, grit, and years of consistent deposits into your health account come together. This isn’t just a story about obstacles, balance logs, or flying through the air—it’s about mindset, purpose, legacy, and what it really means to never stop growing.

In This Episode, We Dive Into:

• Greg’s full American Ninja Warrior experience—from a 4am call-time to national TV stardom.
• How a setback (a brutal ankle injury) turned into a setup for his comeback.
• The Jack LaLanne legacy that drives Greg’s mission. And a surprise visit from Elaine LaLanne on primetime NBC.
• Why mindset beats age every single time.
• Greg’s recovery story and how he reprogrammed his brain (and body) to overcome fear.
• “BEDWAS”: The powerful acronym Greg lives by every morning.
• The difference between retiring and rewiring.

In this Show, Greg also drops powerful truths like:

• “Age isn’t just a number. It’s experience, wisdom, and an invitation to do MORE.”
• “Your bank and health account are like the same thing. The more good things you put into them, the more you can take out of them.”
• “I’m a rookie at 64—and I’m just getting started.”
• “Don’t let someone else define your limits.”

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt “too old” to start something new, or if you’ve faced a setback that’s begging to be reframed as a setup for something greater. It’s for the person who doesn’t just want to leave a legacy—but wants to live it out loud, every single day. And it’s for anyone who needs a powerful reminder that your health is your greatest form of wealth. Listen in, get fired up, and then go deposit something into YOUR health account today.

Huddle up! It's halftime of 2025—and I’ve got one question for you:
Are you winning the 1st half of 2025…or are you getting your tail-kicked? And are you ready to dominate the 2nd half of 2025? If so, I have a barn-burner for you today. In Episode 432, I’m coming at you full force with a locker room style pep talk that I hope will light a fire in your soul. So whether you’re up big or you’re down 28–3 halfway through your year, we still got one full half (of the year) to play—and let’s not forget, champions are made in the 2nd half.

I’m talking real-deal coaching today:
✅ We’re assessing your first half. Wins, losses, and some lessons & AHAS.
✅ We’re making the necessary adjustments. The best coaches make great adjustments at half-time. This is your opportunity to make those strategic edits so we can dial-in the most important steps that need to be taken.
✅ Time for ACTION. It’s time to take bold, massive ACTION to finish the year on FIRE. I want us to win 2025 and this is a fire and brimstone talk to give you the strategy, confidence, courage and conviction it’s going to take to dominate the 2nd part of 2025.

Additionally, We Dive Into:

• How to evaluate your scoreboard right now—regardless of whether you are you up, down, or tied?
• What it means to revisit your theme and Big 5 goals for 2025
• How to make the strategic halftime adjustments that are necessary (and how & why
  to stop doing what’s not working)
• Why momentum is EVERYTHING—and how to build it starting TODAY
• 3 actions you MUST take in the next 90 days to set up a 4th quarter win
• A challenge that’ll hit your heart: Do you like the man or woman you’re becoming?
  (If not, it’s time to change that—starting now.)

I’m letting you inside my head & heart—including some of my personal wins and losses (yep, even the tough stuff like losing my mom), what’s gone well in 2025 so far, and what I’m doubling down on in the next 6 months. And I’m inviting YOU to do the same.

Listen, the second half is where LEGENDS are made. And I want this to be your most powerful, purpose-driven, IMPACTFUL second half yet. So take a deep breath, enjoy this episode, buckle-up that chin strap… and LET’S GO!!!

Strap in—because this episode is an absolute ENERGY EXPLOSION. In this week’s episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends and legendary coach and speaker, and now fiction author Martin Rooney, as we talk about personal reinvention, mindset, creativity, and his newest bold adventure: writing a thriller novel. Yep—you read that right. Martin’s latest project, Blood Feud: Raising Cain, is his first-ever fiction thriller—and it’s already making waves. Think Reacher… but better. (My family binge-watched the series AND read Martin’s book. The verdict? The book wins!

But this episode is about more than a book. It’s about:

• What it means to REINVENT yourself at any age
• Why you must keep saying “yes” to new challenges
• How to take bold creative risks—even if you fail
• The power of persistence, red pens, and the ONE connection that changes everything
• How to discover the “one-person” who could potentially open up doors to you fulfilling your dreams
• Lessons in leadership, family, and living a life of constant evolution
• Martin and I go back over 30 years, and in this conversation, we bring the fire, the stories, and the wisdom. Whether you’re in fitness, business, writing—or just feeling the nudge to pivot—this episode is for YOU.

If this episode fired you up please be sure to share it with your friends and family.

Martin Rooney is no stranger to the fight. An internationally renowned fitness expert and combat sports specialist, Martin has spent over three decades in the trenches of physical and mental warfare. With a Master of Health Science and a Bachelor of Physical Therapy from the
Medical University of South Carolina, alongside a BA in Exercise Science from Furman University, Martin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. A former D-1 javelin thrower, U.S. bobsledder and two-time Guinness World Record holder, Martin is also the creator of the Training for Warriors system, which has transformed lives around the globe. His
expertise doesn’t stop there—he’s a Kodokan judo black belt and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt who has trained UFC champions, Olympic medalists, and world champions in a number of different disciplines. He has also shared his hand fighting programming with the NY Giants, NY Jets and the University of Notre Dame football. As a professional speaker, Martin has presented for Fortune 500 giants like Nike and Prudential and visited with elite military organizations like the Navy SEALs and Army Rangers.

Now serving as Chancellor of Lionel University, Martin has penned 12 previous books, but BloodFeud: Raising Cain is his first foray into thriller fiction. He lives in North Carolina with his wife and four daughters. And as you might imagine, they put him through his paces every day.

This is honestly one of the most remarkable, and extraordinary personal & professional transformations you will ever hear. If you’ve ever felt on the edge of giving up, overwhelmed, exhausted, anchored in burnout, or even wondering if your business or mission still matters… you need to hear this. It’s hard to explain…unless you have ever been there.

In today’s episode, I sit down with longtime coaching client, gym owner, and my good friend Jeremy Gritton, who shares a story that gave me chills. Jeremy was one step away from walking away from his business. Burned out. Broken. Physically sick. Ready to quit. Energy completely zapped. Throw in the towel. Or not?

One decision—showing up at the Montana Retreat last year—changed everything.
Literally. You have to hear this story. In this episode, we unpack:

• How Jeremy hit rock bottom—and found his way out.
• The moment he knew he had to get help.
• How faith, coaching, and community helped him reclaim his ENERGY, purpose, and profit.
• What it really means to “Be in the room.”
• How he went on to double his business in the past few months.

This is a raw, emotional, and wildly inspiring story of grit, resilience, faith, and getting back up when life knocks you down. If you’re energy is shot right now, you’re facing overwhelm and just not feeling like yourself—heck maybe you have even developed a bad attitude, don’t like work anymore, and have even developed resentment towards your team or those around you, then LISTEN TO THIS.

If you’re not feeling this, LISTEN anyway—because it might be what helps you (or someone you know) avoid burnout.

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Jeremy Gritton for having the courage to share this
story—and to his wife Brandy, Travis Barnes, Justin Roethlingshoefer, and every
member of our coaching community who played a role in this turnaround. You never
know who you’re helping when you keep showing up and you’re in the room!

After the interview, I break down 7 powerful MINDSET strategies to help you prevent
burnout and reignite your fire:

1. Give yourself permission to rest
2. Eliminate the overwhelm
3. Create your own optimization plan
4. Dial in your nighttime routine
5. Don’t slack on your workouts
6. BE IN THE ROOM
7. Reawaken your dreams

Let’s GO!!! This is not your average podcast episode. No fluff, no filler—just straight fire. This episode is one that’ll hit you in the heart AND light a fire under your feet. I sat down with my guy, NFL quarterback Brett Rypien—seven-year vet, newlywed, and one of the most mentally dialed-in athletes I’ve ever coached. We’ve trained together for 6 years now, and I can tell you this: he is one snap away from becoming a household name. Seriously.

Additionally, I have a MINDSET section where I expand on the “One Snap Away” mentality and how this applies to each and every one of us. Lastly, I close this week’s podcast with a personal share on my son Luke Durkin who just graduated from Davidson College (NC) over the weekend and who’s about to embark upon law school this Fall. I share my most proud moment over his 4-year career in school, football, and the ROTC. Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, a leader, or just someone hungry for passion, purpose, & IMPACT—you’re going to want to hear this episode!

In This Episode, We Hit:

• Mindset Mastery: What it means to “live in victory, not for victory.” Brett’s daily habits will challenge how you start your mornings—and why he ditched social media cold turkey.
• Faith in the Fire: Brett’s faith isn’t just something he talks about—it’s his anchor. He shares how God, prayer, and how Psalm 23 keep him steady through the NFL’s chaos.
• Grinding in the Shadows: We talk about what it’s like to fight for a job every year. No guaranteed money. No promises. Just hard work, sweat, and belief.
• The Rypien Cup: Yes, it’s real. A family golf battle royale that makes Ryder Cup look tame. You’ll love this story.
• NFL Brotherhood: Lessons from Russ, Cooper Kupp, Cortland Sutton—and why the guys who stick around the longest win with their mind, not just their arm.
• My take on why backups often make the BEST coaches… and why Brett is destined for greatness beyond football.
• The “ONE SNAP AWAY” mentality.
• My personal section filled with pride & joy as my oldest son Luke Durkin just graduated from college and I share some highlights, lowlights, and what I’m most proud of over his 4-year career.
• PLUS: The Brett Rypien Jump Rope Challenge is officially ON. Can you hit 900 straight? Bring it on!!

This episode is raw. It’s real. It’s a masterclass in mindset, faith, and perseverance. Hit play. Take notes. Share this with someone who needs a little light today. And keep your eyes on #11 in Minnesota—Brett Rypien is one snap away. Let’s GO!

FLIP. THE. SWITCH. That’s right — today’s not just another day… it’s your turnaround day. In this episode, I’m coming in HOT with a soul-stirring solo message and then diving into some deep, raw, and powerful Q&A from our recent Mastermind Retreat right here in San Diego. This one is packed with FIRE and practical tools to help you level up in business, leadership, and LIFE.

We kick it off with a 7-part “Get Your Mind Right” power talk to help you flip the switch in whatever season you’re in — whether you're thriving or just trying to stay afloat. I’m dropping dimes on mindset, momentum, and what it really takes to create lasting transformation.

Then, I answer 8 big questions straight from our Mastermind family — covering everything from building a career in fitness, to staying grounded during turbulent times, to growing a business with purpose and soul. I even share a few things I’m most excited about this year (hint: Montana… Mastermind… IXP… let’s go!).

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to flip the switch when you’re stuck, stagnant, or seeking a breakthrough
• The 7 steps to create momentum and turn around ANY season of life
• How failure is not a loss… it’s a lesson
• Why discipline = freedom (yep, even when you don’t feel like it)
• The habits that drive high performance and deep fulfillment
• How to compartmentalize your busy life and still stay grounded
• Why training is my divine uniqueness (and how you can find yours)
• The #1 mindset shift for launching your dream biz
• 8 people ask awesome questions for the Q&A
• Why being in the right room is everything (join us at a retreat!)

A Personal Note:
This one hits different. It's been a wild season — celebrating my mom’s life one week and pouring into our retreat community the next. That dichotomy of life reminded me: there’s no time to waste. Today’s the day. Flip the switch. Step into your light. And LET’S GO!
