I Came Back 6 Years Later… Completely Different Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

Back in 2018, I sat down on the Mike Drop Podcast… and a lot has changed since then.

This time, I’m coming back as a different man—with different experiences, different perspectives, and after building multiple businesses along the way.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the trip to Dallas, what goes into these conversations before the cameras roll, and the people who’ve had a real impact on my life along the way.

From navigating the chaos of travel to sitting down with people who helped shape my path after the military—this is a raw look at the journey most people don’t see.

One thing is clear…
who you surround yourself with matters.

And not many people truly give a damn anymore—but the ones who do can change everything.

You’re Not the Man You Used to Be. Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

Inside the Agoge Brotherhood Retreat in Kona, Hawaii.

This wasn’t a vacation. It was a reset.

This weekend wasn’t about motivation. It was about getting honest.

Most men don’t need another speech. They need real connection, real accountability, and real tools that still work when life hits hard again.

In this video, you’ll see what happens inside the Agoge Brotherhood Retreat: physical training, jiu jitsu, hard conversations, stillness, discipline, and brotherhood built through pressure.

If you’ve been drifting…

If you feel like you’re not the man you used to be…

If you know you were made for more but haven’t acted on it…

This is for you.

The next retreat is in Surf City, North Carolina — July 23–26, 2026.

If this resonates, don’t ignore it.

This experience is built for men who are ready to respond instead of react, lead their families well, rebuild discipline, and operate from clear values instead of emotion.

Life will still be waiting when you get home. The difference is how you handle it.

Former Marine Raider vs. Black Belt - BJJ Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

Former Marine Raider and BJJ brown belt getting some good work in with a black belt on the mats.

This was a friendly roll — no egos, just iron sharpening iron. Jiu jitsu has a way of humbling everyone, no matter your background. It doesn’t matter if you’ve served in special operations or just started training… the mats tell the truth.

Respect to the black belts who keep pushing the level higher and to the warriors who continue to learn.

THE MOST EPIC MEN’S RETREAT HOUSE IN HAWAII Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

An unreal weekend at the Agoge Brotherhood Retreat in Hawaii - I wanted to give you a quick tour of the property we stayed at.

This place was the perfect setup for everything we did over the weekend — a massive main house, private cabins for the guys, a big communal space for meals and classes, ocean views, and the full recovery setup with the cold plunge and sweat tent. It was the perfect environment to unplug, reset, and focus on what actually matters.
