I wanted to share my story on The BHM Show (Big Healthy Me) w/ my friend Bryan Teare. He teaches personal optimization and health, and we dissected the success and battles throughout my path to creating freedom and health.
Visit www.fistpumps.com for a chance to win a copy of my book where I dissect 100+ interviews with creative entrepreneurs and the habits that make them the happiest people in the world.

I am taking a hiatus from social media to solidify my dreams. This is how you can become one with your dreams as well.
My book: On Happiness! How to Retire Your Job, Retire Your Mind, and Fist Pump to the Life You Love.
It is no secret that I am a HUGE fanboy of Honoree Corder. And I should be, right? Her principles and strategies have allowed me to envision my future, set smart and measurable goals to work towards, and ultimately track and accomplish my those goals to bring my vision to reality.
What I once thought was impossible is now REAL. I’ve put my notice in at my ‘career job.’ I’m selling my house and moving to the beautiful Northwest. I’m starting my journey of a 24/7 location independent freedom lifestyle. It’s surreal.
I’m not any smarter than you, and I don’t have any skills or talents that I didn’t work my ass off to achieve.
The point is, it’s all attainable if you BELIEVE it is. Once you believe, it is just a matter of taking action on a consistent basis.
Honoree Corder understands this because she started from the bottom JUST LIKE US. She doesn’t have a college degree or divine superpowers (although I’d argue the second), but she has mastered the principals required to become the happiest, healthiest, and most prosperous writer possible.
In this episode, we discuss these core principals and how they not only work for writers, but for everyone. We also discuss the topic of her newest book “Prosperity for Writers,” and how these principals can be used to create massive abundance in your career.
Put your sarcasm hat on, cause Honoree is wildddddd.
Highlights
Life is a massive journey of creation. We are all products of creation, and we are all living for creation. However, there is seldom a clear path that paints the way for our dreams, our happiness, and the meaning our existence.
We all get lost. It is the root that allow us to create ourselves just as we please.
After all, we cannot find ourselves unless we lose ourselves.
Mike Brennan was absorbed in the magic of arts as a child, and he loved making others smile. By creating, he was able to bring out more smiles in those around him, and it brought him peace.
He always had a vision and drive for working in the arts the rest of his life, but life takes unexpected twists that bring mass confusion.
In this chat, Mike and I discuss the struggle and confusion of growing up as an artist, and all of the blindside magic that life throws at us. He also gets into his creative techniques and his campaign to create a new piece every single day.
Highlights“I will do a painting for the wanted poster of Godzilla. Then I will make Godzilla watch the last two Godzilla movies that were made and he would probably just pack it in himself.”
Advice from the show…Colin Gray is full BEAST MODE when it comes to podcasting. He has been deeply involved in it since the mid-2000’s, and he’s a huge influence and resource for how I started this podcast.
Colin is superior at creating valuable content with ZERO fluff, and he is a humble and sincere teacher for anyone looking to start or grow a podcast as a hobby or career. He’s one of the few who have figured out how to make money from podcasting, and he does an incredible job teaching others how to reach this point and sustain it.
He’s the founder of ThePodcastHost.com and the PodCraft Podcast, where he covers a wide variety of valuable topics ranging from selecting podcast equipment to building a website for podcasting.
In this episode, we talk the ropes of podcasting 101 for beginners, the power of creating your podcast and the effect it can have on your life, and tips, tricks, and resources from the mastermind Colin himself.
Word!
Highlights
To defeat Godzilla with his talents…
“Being a podcast and audio producer, I am surrounded by a thousand meters of cable in my office, so I’d make some sort of net made out of those able, catch him and trap him down.”
Advice from the show…What does simple feel like?
The expression is light, and it seems uncomplicated, but there is no doubt that the heaviest barricades in the world litter it’s path.
Heavy situations. Heavy thoughts. Heavy emotions. Heavy worries. Heavy fights. Heavy stress. Heavy distractions. Heavy minds. Heavy hearts. Heavy lives.
I do believe we can simply live and co-exist with heavy things, but this is not the goal.
To overcome the weight of distractions, and to truly feel light and free, you cannot just simply live.
You must live simply and be simply YOU.
I sit with a sense of determination and reason. I’m aiming for the ultimate high through a portal of floor level attachments in a house that once hosted many great walls of distress and madness.
I’m glad I’ve cleared my dwelling.
I’m in love with the new order.
I have learned so much.
To ground yourself, you must truly disconnect from materials and situations that are idolized by the masses.
Possessions are not trophies or dreams.
What if you could cherish your productivity, focus, and mindset and function from the core elements of natural life?
Hidden deep beneath your puddles of conscious and subconscious lust, jealousy, envy, and procrastination, you will find a stream that guides you to an ocean of clarity, awareness and meaning.
It’s pure.
Take a moment to place your hand over your heart.
Focus on your beautiful breath.
Love with all of your ability.
Love from your head to your toes, from the sky to the core of the earth.
Notice every space.
Notice the magic required for your precious mind and body to dance together in harmony.
In this moment, try to reflect on the sheer idea and principle of your life in existence. Try to comprehend your place in this miracle.
I don’t think there is a word or adjective that can describe how lucky we are to be here.
Maybe you feel alone, or maybe you feel within something much greater than yourself.
I have no doubt you are not alone.
I am here.
You and me.
You have a force inside of you capable of shifting the energy of the entire world.
You have a voice inside of you loaded with confidence, security, and precision- all weapons of ongoing creation.
This voice is OF you.
It’s your pure voice.
It’s simple.
It’s direct.
It’s on a mission to smile.
It’s a transition from ‘God Money I’ll do anything for you’ to a symphony of creation, love, and meaning.
It’s a treasure map to bring your vision to reality.
It’s a golden ticket to the land of understanding.
It’s YOU, through and through.
When you were born, you were pure and 100% unique.
But, like anything else, your shell was destroyed by normality and ‘reality.’
As an infant, life is as you choose to perceive it, but you eventually grow into the power of your influences and surroundings.
You become them, and they become you.
They are more developed. They have the advantage.
You begin to dress in the luggage of others.
The awareness that was once your choice is now stapled to your forehead by textbooks, organized religions, breaking news, and forceful education.
Your position and situation in the world begins to just “happen” as allowed and you become the product of everyone else.
Heavy things fall down on you, and you absorb and accept them. You become a function of them.
Very rarely is this a simple, happy product.
Some people play dress-up forever, but you don’t have to.
You know those times when your mind is conversing like two separate beings?
Yes, it really is.
Your muse and your heart never stop fighting for you, and these conversations are their way of winning your attention.
When your inner voice presents questions, possibilities, and visions, you need to pay attention to these alarms.
They are the purest form of you.
No dress up. No fear.
The guidance will help you break through the shell of clutter, distraction, and “reason” and lead you to a path of absolute happiness and meaning.
Imagine a simple life of pure, unfiltered love.
Why is it that society teaches us to label a stress-free life of happiness, true love, contentment, and clarity as unrealistic…
..or as dreams
..or as wishes
..or as impossible
..or as fairytales?
We were all born with the purest right to happiness, and they want us to think we are crazy for believing in it.
They want us to believe we are crazy for loving, smiling, and maximizing the beauty and miracle of life.
I’m here to tell you that you are not crazy.
WE are not crazy.
When you are simple, you are magical.
You are magnificent.
You are sumptuous.
You are beautiful.
You are brilliant.
Your vision is triumphant when all others are blind.
All of those dreams, wishes, and fairytales are real, and if you follow and believe in them, the key to happiness is yours.
They represent you and the magic of creation in it’s purest and SIMPLEST form.
The seed of life.
It is your birthright. It is your superpower.
You never lost it- it has just been covered by those heavy things.
So- break through the chains of your influences and distractions, and utilize your ability to live simply and be simply you.
You are now focused, precise, and meaningful.
You are the purest form of you – the miracle you were presented to this world as.
It’s never too late to utilize the magic of your birth.
Be simple. Be you.
Love simple. Love you.

For the last couple years, your smart phone has been eating your brain. It has been your best friend, your library, your GPS, and a medium for blasting music, face-timing, or even hardcore stalking your friends.
We are ALL guilty of allowing our faces and brains to be devoured by our phones. Sometimes, we sit without thinking, constantly refreshing feeds over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. It’s okay. It’s not your fault. The phones are designed to be addicting. The designs are working.
In a way, we’ve lost the familiarity with what it truly feels like to be alive and connected to this incredible, beautiful Earth.
“Mental minimalism gives you that space to get rid of everything else that is causing unnecessary stress, distraction and lack of focus and lets you do what it is you love.” – Jorge Selva
As a child, Jorge was obsessed with the rocks, formations, and the natural Earth, and it eventually led to a passionate degree in Geology. One day, he caught himself in the middle of a chronic brain-frying refresh session, and he realized that his smart phone was depleting his focus and relationship with nature.
Longing for a larger sense of aliveness, Jorge decided to test his strength away from the smart phone.
It felt good. Really really really really really good.
It felt so good that he decided to dedicate his future to helping others rediscover what it’s like to feel alive, focused, less distracted, and more aware.
Jorge is the co-founder of Minium, the creators of the world’s first modern minimalist phone. The phone is designed to maximize focus on areas that matter the most, allowing more time for real-world interaction, aliveness, and extreme clarity.
In this episode, learn about Minium & the process of creating the phone, and the underlying magic of minimalism.

Advice from the show…The transparency behind me and how I'm creating the life I love.
Molly Knight Forde's blog post on The Ole Time Religion. :)
Everyone longs for more inspiration, motivation, passion, and ultimate meaning in life. It’s an incredibly hard journey, but when we link arms and unite behind an army of positivity, our dreams start to become real life.
Valerie Groth is one of those gems who leads the rebellion against resistance, inconfidence, procrastination, and negativity. She understands the sacrifices and uncomfortable transitions that must be made when creating a life of meaningful happiness, and she is dedicating her life to helping others reach their mindful and physical peaks.
Valerie is the founder and host of The Inspiration w/ Val Podcast, a motivational and inspirational speaker and coach, and the founder of The Ryan Banks Academy which was funded and supported by the World Domination Summit earlier this year.
In this episode, Valerie and I dive into the meaning of creating YOUR journey, and the core values necessary to bring them to reality. We talk about inspiration, motivation, mindset, and Valerie’s take on kickstarting a transition from lost and confused to meaningful. We also talk about her passion and drive to change the world with the Ryan Banks Academy, and the process of living larger than ourselves.
Valerie’s words and wisdom are taught from ground-level experience, and I’m ecstatic to introduce her to all of you dreamers.
Please share this with someone you really love and care about.
Creative Influences To defeat Godzilla with her talents…
GK dreamed of being a Voice-Over actress when she was young, but like most of us- she didn’t really think it was possible. She fist-pumped through school with the thought of becoming a doctor, studying micro-biology and molecular genetics. However, her creative itch for voice-overs never left, and she made a decision that most of us never believe we can make.
Screw the traditional career. Follow your dreams.
In this interview, you will learn how GK framed her mind to step away from the “safe” plan and attack her passion. We also get into methods and resources for starting a career in voice-overs.
GK is well known for using her magical voice to bring characters to life, including roles in Happily N’Ever After 2 (2009), Resident Evil 5(2009) Alpha and Omega: The Legend of the Saw Toothed Cave (2014). and Bleach, Memories of Nobody. She’s also worked with a massive amount of entertainment, food and beverage, and retail clients including Fox, Sesame Street, Warner Brothers, HBO, McDonalds, Subway, Nike and Walmart. Prepare yourself. To defeat Godzilla with her talents…There is a struggle much bigger than this pen. There is a struggle that lingers like the tide of an ocean under the dark spell of a creative hurricane. It reminds me of my mortality, existence, and progress.
This struggle connects all cries and frowns from myself and others alike, and it cooks them up to serve to others with a steamy side of bullshit.
The struggle is not sincere, nor does it care who I am or where I’m going.
It doesn’t care about you either.
It operates to dismantle the world from discovering the good energies of happiness that birth and flourish within the fruits of life. It operates to burn all bridges that we create, in arms, to support the cross-over into a life of contentment and meaning. (The life you dream about.)
When these bridges are obsolete, and we fall out of unity with one another, the struggle takes control of the current situation.
However, it can NEVER be in control of our future situations.
Thoughts and actions stapled to the back of negativity within the struggle produce an illusion that leads us to believe we are comfortable in the situation.
Do you procrastinate? Illusion.
How many times have you made an excuse to get out of doing something you fear may be difficult? Instead, you take the easy way out and do the bare minimum or nothing at all.
The result: 99.9% of us live our entire lives within this illusion. (I made the number up, but it has to be close.)
But why?
Life is about overcoming fears and obstacles and improving our minds, bodies, and souls every day. If it wasn’t, we’d all still be wearing diapers and shitting everywhere, waiting for Grandma to come wipe our asses because it’s easy.
The secret is only the “thought” of negativity is real. It only exists because we allow it to.
It is true that there will always be the cancerous “thought” of negativity ready to quadruple-stuff our asses in an attempt to destroy the positivity and world-changing efforts of our linking arms.
You can look at it two ways.
1. For every negative, there is a positive.2. For every positive, there is a negative.
You can choose to see the beauty in negativity, or you can choose to see the negativity in beauty.
When it comes thinking, you have a definite choice.
We learn how to develop to the next level of happiness off the back of current situations that may involve a taste of negativity. However, it’s our ability to see the beauty in the negativity that makes all the difference.
Some people think life is a constant cycle of failures in an attempt to find success.
Great people know life is a constant cycle of success founded within the trenches of failure.
Some people think they aren’t capable of success because they never welcome the thought.
Great people own the thought, and they shape the world with heart, passion, patience, and love.
You will be as great and successful as you believe you are, and it’s pretty awesome to find success in everything.
It’s easy.
It’s so much easier than having Grandma wipe the shit off your ass.
Look- it’s unbelievable the miracle that we are even here right now, and our time is a guaranteed limitation. You will make choices the rest of your life before, during, and after every interaction, conversation, and situation.
To be happy, you must love the choices you make, and believe in them.
You must see the gold in every bad lemon. You must laugh hysterically when negative thoughts and interactions have handicapped your hours, days, or even weeks because it’s truly magical that you have the ability to be present in the situation to begin with.
The negative thoughts will always check in and out, but it is your beliefs that will occupy the throne.
I often hear the quote: “Things can always be better, and things can always be worse.”
I don’t think so.
If you train your mind to cherish every breath, moment and struggle that you encounter, things can never be better, and things can always be worse.
If you live in a mindset where things can never be better, and things can always be worse, you will never struggle again.
That, my friend, is true happiness.
This life is true love.
We shall take on the world together.
