Episode 260 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features a conversation with my uke and teammate, Jake Cechini, as we take a deep dive into his journey toward earning his purple belt. Jake has been one of the most consistent and dedicated members of our team over the past few years, and his growth on the mats is a direct reflection of that commitment.

He’s played a vital role in the Academy, especially with the kids' classes, and has naturally stepped into a leadership position. Jake is one of those guys who earns everyone’s respect—he brings great energy, tough rolls, and zero ego. A lifelong athlete with a background in high-level hockey, it’s always interesting to watch how guys from other disciplines evolve when they step into the world of grappling.

I really enjoyed this one—digging into Jake’s story, his progression in jiu-jitsu, and of course, geeking out over the art we both love.

In Episode 259, we do another solo episode. As mentioned in the episode I recently did a plant medicine ceremony and haven't really felt like myself the last week or so I did not want my diminished state to have any type of negative impact on a potential guest interview, so I decided to take a couple weeks to myself and focus on solo episodes. Lots of cool guests are slotted to be on the show so please stay tuned! Please enjoy Episode 259 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast!

In Episode 258, we’re doing a solocast where I discuss the Forge Collective: Excellence & Camaraderie Summit. I believe this kind of experience is something missing in many men’s lives, which is why I’ve created this comprehensive one-day program—to help men truly connect.

Men need to take a deeper look within and ask themselves: What do I want? What do I need?

While I’m excited to launch this program and start engaging face-to-face, I also think it’s a crucial conversation to have on the podcast—to help people take that first step toward self-discovery and asking, What do I want out of this life?

Our first summit is scheduled for June 28th, and if you feel called to join, I’d love to have you there.

This episode dives into why I believe the program is so important and what it’s all about.

In Episode 257, we’re doing things a little differently! I was a guest on my friend Keith Yackey’s podcast, and we decided to release the episode on both of our platforms as a way to cross-pollinate our audiences and help spread a positive message.

I was invited to record an episode of his podcast, Married Game, at his studio in Dana Point, CA. We vibed and had a lot of fun, so we figured it made sense to share it here on the Endless Endeavor platform as well.

In today’s episode, I get to be the one interviewed as Keith takes the lead and dives into my background and life. If you’re a fan of the Endless Endeavor, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.

Episode 256 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features an amazing conversation with my good friend Emily Hayden! Emily and I first connected at Ian Smith’s Freedom Rally back in 2020, and we’ve been solid ever since. She’s an IFBB Pro, fitness model, podcast host, and transformational coach with a mission to help women evolve—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

With over a decade in the fitness industry, Emily has built an inspiring personal brand grounded in discipline, authenticity, and relentless growth. She’s the creator and host of the Evolve with Emily podcast, where she dives into powerful conversations on mindset, personal development, and living a life of purpose.

Through her coaching programs and international retreats, Emily empowers women to step into alignment and become the strongest versions of themselves. Whether she’s training, speaking, or guiding transformational breakthroughs, Emily leads with heart, passion, and unapologetic conviction.

And of course, we go down some weird rabbit holes—just how we like it on this show.

Episode 255 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features an incredible conversation with Quan Huynh. Quan spent 22 years behind bars after a gang-related incident in 1999 in Hollywood, where he took another man’s life. But in the midst of serving a life sentence, Quan discovered a powerful truth: real freedom comes from within.

Today, Quan is on a mission to change the narrative around formerly incarcerated individuals. He’s using his journey to bring healing to others, and he shares his transformation in his powerful book, Sparrow in the Razor Wire: Finding Freedom from Within While Serving a Life Sentence.

Quan’s story is raw, real, and deeply inspiring. I truly enjoyed the time we spent together, and I’m honored to share his voice with you.

In Episode 254, we head to Barneveld, Wisconsin, to spend a couple of days with our friends at Vortex! This trip was all about getting hands-on with the Vortex Impact—a rifle-mounted laser rangefinder and ballistics computer. It’s an impressive piece of gear that we break down in today’s episode.

But more importantly, it had been a while since Foulke, Lapin, and I had linked up, so we took the opportunity to record a short, light-hearted, and ridiculous episode while catching up on life. There’s nothing earth-shattering in this one, but if you know the Endless Endeavor, you know that sometimes just kicking it with the homies is exactly what’s needed.

Episode 253 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast is all about what it really takes to open and run a successful jiu-jitsu academy. A lot of our listeners are passionate practitioners, and I constantly get questions about the business side of things—everything from building the right culture to navigating the day-to-day operations.

In this episode, I share my personal experiences—the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons learned—so that anyone considering opening their own academy can do it with clarity and confidence.

Jiu-jitsu isn’t going anywhere. If you have a genuine passion for the art and the charisma to lead, it might just be the perfect path for you.
