Michael Chandler - Top 5 UFC Lightweight On Mindset And The Walk On Mentality - EPISODE #618

Michael Chandler joins the podcast this week to talk about mindset, parenting, and his incredible recent win at UFC 274 over Tony Ferguson. Mike has an incredible amount of knowledge and real life experience choosing to walk on at the University of Missouri rather than taking a Division 3 scholarship. This move paid off as he became an All-American college wrestler who transitioned to multiple time World Champion with Bellator. Rather than retiring with Belator, Michael essentially walked on again to an unknown career with the UFC. Michael has earned his spot as one of the top 5 Lightweights in the UFC and a fan favorite due to his exciting fighting style. Incredibly dedicated to fitness, Michael takes excellent care of his body which also made for good conversation. This is a “Can’t Miss” episode.

Physical Friday - How I Lost 17 Pounds QUICK - EPISODE #616

Summer is coming! Its time to shed the Dad bod and get ready for the beach! I am celebrating today because I met my goal this morning for my own weight loss. I have lost 17 pounds since March 10, 2022 going from 191 pounds down to 174 pounds. After a winter of trying to increase my weightlifting strength (and not being very disciplined in my diet) I want to weigh less so that I can focus more on running. I used an app called The Carbon App to track all of my eating habits and keep control of my intake of food.

I am not here to tell you which diet is best for you but rather how you can make whatever diet that you and your nutritionist or dietician have determined will be your plan. Apps can help you to track your food intake to keep you on track to reach your goal. The Carbon app goes a few steps further to make suggestions and create a plan for you based on the type of diet you select; Balanced, Reduced Carb, Low Fat, Plant Based or Ketogenic, and allow you to track everything that you eat or drink. Keeping track of your food is like having a speedometer. You know exactly where you are and how much you can eat while staying on track to your goals.

Ray Cash Care is a former Navy Seal, Actor, Lead Instructor at the Modern Day Knight Project with Bedros Keuilian and PUSHUP MASTER who does 1320 pushups in an hour! Ray joins me on today’s podcast to discuss the mindset of an elite military operator both in and out of service. Ray goes through many of his acronyms that he lives by which lead to his success and how we can all apply some or all of it to our lives. Ray gets after it and makes the most of every minute. He is grateful and thankful and does not rest. He is 50 years old and in better shape than most people of any age because he is constantly sharpening his blade. Just as an example, Ray does 6320 pushups every week. That is 1000 per day and then 1320 on Saturdays with his Instagram community. 1320 is an important number because that represents the 22 veterans and First Responders who commit suicide per day. He does 22 pushups every minute on the minute for 60 minutes.

If you want to get after it like Ray you can be coached by him. Follow him on Instagram @raycashcare. Tell him you heard this podcast ! He said that he responds to every direct message.

People often talk about your physical diet, but I think your mental diet is just as important, meaning what you take into your brain on a daily basis. This can be things like the news, social media, books you read, etc. A few years ago I decided to change up what I was taking in every day, and to try and only make it positive things. I completely stopped following the news, and I try and only follow positive accounts on social media. Do you think that a mental diet would be good for you? Try it for a week and see how you feel.
