Show notes

Coach Sam's guest in this special episode of Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit is elite tattoo artist, Jasen Workman, who has created masterpieces for Coach Sam, Garrett, and many of the Warrior brothers. We find out how he was introduced to the conversation of Warrior, what caused him to take a healing journey of over 600 miles, and how an "out of the blue" phone call led Jasen to make a decision that changed the trajectory of not only his life but also the lives of hundreds of men.

Parable #1: The Healing Journey

While building a million-dollar company and team, at the young age of 34, Jasen's body began to shut down from the incessant hustle and grind. After discovering a brain tumor, doctors suggested surgery, but Jasen was unwilling to take chances with potential consequences.
Much to the chagrin of medical experts and family members, and after being told he would eventually go blind and ultimately die if he did nothing, Jasen took matters into his own hands and decided to go on a spiritual journey of healing. Most thought he was absolutely crazy, but Jasen felt called to go on a 635-mile healing walk from San Francisco to Portland within 32 days.

QUESTION

What have you been called to do in your life that didn't make sense to anyone but you? What were the results?

Parable #2: The Great Escape

During his month-long walk, Jasen met many people, mostly businessmen who were trying to escape the hustle of their every day lives to gain clarity and to reinvent themselves.
It was in isolation where Jasen gained clarity for his life through journaling and by asking himself questions. He wanted real connection and authenticity with his family, both of which were lacking on his part, and that his kids "just needed their fucking dad."

QUESTION

How are you showing up for your kids?

Parable #3: More Than Art

Jasen and Coach Sam describe the tattoo experience as two old souls meeting and coming together. It's a pivotal life-changing moment in time, a transformational experience.
"It's an experience where I get to share a slice of life with another human being …where they have a piece of me on their body. There's an energetic exchange, a footprint."

QUESTION

What message or story does the art on your body describe?

Parable #4: The Phone Call

It was December 2018. Jasen was in the airport waiting to board his flight to Florida when he received an urgent call from Warrior headquarters. A series of events had transpired, causing Jasen to become disconnected from Warrior for a time, so this call was totally unexpected.
What transpired next was like witnessing a slow-motion scene in an epic Hollywood movie where one is kept on the edge of their seat until the very last possible second.

QUESTION

Describe a turning point in your life that came out of left-field.

Parable #5: The Hand of God

As Jasen sat in the audience of WC3 with over nine hundred other brothers, he suddenly heard Coach Sam call out his name. Only moments before, he had a premonition he would be called to the stage. Although he had healed in many ways, Jasen felt that his heart hadn't fully healed.
Coach Sam recalls, "I was sitting there holding your heart, you turned the candle on, and I asked everyone to come forward. Nine hundred guys got up from their chairs, kneeled down, and all of their hands were on your heart. It was like a giant tree of arms with the healing coming through those 900 brothers and dads."

QUESTION

What lasting impact has this experience had on your life?

Parables from the Pit

" We both had pain, and in the midst of it we had this pure joy and connection. We laughed, we cried, we listened to music, we were eating… we were kids again."

—Sam Falsafi

"Sam is a fucking healer. He takes men into a place they never thought they could be."

–Jasen Workman

STEP INTO CONNECTION | Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit | EP 083 Mar 28, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Todd Wendell is Coach Sam's special guest in this eye-opening, compelling, and fascinating episode of Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit. Their conversation resonates at a high frequency and invites you to step up and connect in ways you may have never before considered.

Parable #1: What's Your Blueprint?

The conversation of Warrior entered Todd's realm when the conditions of his life could easily be described as "good." Always one seeking more growth and information, Todd consumed the entire audio of WarriorBook during his six-hour drive to a hunt in Utah and afterward found himself in a pivotal conversation with Coach Sam.
"Based on society's standards, things are "good" for you. But is good going to be good enough in the future? What assurance do you have that as each of you change over the next several months, especially your children, that what you're doing is going to be good enough? What is your blueprint? What's your strategy?"

QUESTION

How does society's definition of "good" show up in your life?

Parable #2: Connection With God

Todd entered Warrior Week 55 with a spiritual disconnect. He knew there was a God, and he believed in him, but he had spent years leaning on man for that connection.
It was during that week that Todd was able to shed long-held beliefs and stories and begin to have a personal connection for himself with God, which was a significant turning point for him.

QUESTION

How has your connection with God opened up and improved?

Parable #3: Healer's Hand

Up until Warrior Week 53, Coach Sam saw the mechanical aspect of chiropractic but remained uneducated about the deeper scope and meaning of it, and became a slave to his stories. We tend to dismiss and make up stories about that which we do not understand.
After suffering for over nine months with an injury, Coach Sam turned to Chiropractic, which ultimately shifted his beliefs through his personal experience. "It is biological and spiritual. That is where the alignment happens with the universe, which is this bigger connection."

QUESTION

How do you feel about it? Have you had a personal experience?

Parable #4: Remove Resistance

The nervous system is a reaction to the environment we surround ourselves with. If we can remove some of these interferences, and improve and tighten that awareness, the body starts to thrive and resonate at a higher frequency.
"What creates resistance inside of our bodies? Drama, trauma, psychological, and physical issues which are ofttimes a manifestation of our emotions. As we begin removing those blocks of resistance built up inside of us, the electrical currency has the ability to circulate at full capacity."

QUESTION

As you look within yourself, what do you believe is holding you back and impeding your circulation capacity?

Parable #5: Awareness

In our modern era, the man who is aware is a man who sees life through the blended lens of science, spirituality, and his own philosophies. He is a man who exercises confidence and certainty as he leads his wife and children.
Listening to the voice inside of you as you raise and lead your children is crucial in our day and age, especially when others are quick to tell you what to do. Remember, your children were given to you…not them. Trust your intuition.

QUESTION

What has been your experience with choosing the blended lens of beliefs?

Parables from the Pit

"I'd rather my kids get lack of sleep than lack of me. And…I'd rather spend a fucking hour with my son than read a book about raising sons."

—Sam Falsafi

"Lose the shame and guilt, and step up to connection. It's all around you. Stop sedating it, stop running away from it…step into it."

–Dr. Todd Wendell

"Our bodies are nothing more than a television receptor for a frequency that's beyond us."

—Bruce Lipton

SHOW UP & BE PRESENT | Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit | EP 082 Mar 26, 2020

Coach Sam's guest in this episode of Warrior Week: Parables From the Pit is Jeff Oldroyd, graduate of Warrior Week 55, the week it never stopped raining! What did Jeff realize that first night in the Pit? What does he treasure most in this world? How does he show up for his kids and the kids in their small community? What simple but important message do Coach Sam and Jeff have for the fathers listening to this podcast?

Parable #1: Precursor to Warrior

About ten years prior to finding Warrior, Jeff created a symbol and statement of his life based upon a book his friend had written. "By having a balance between my belief in God, my family, my business, and my active, adventurous lifestyle, I will achieve my life's goals and dreams."
When Warrior came into his life, Jeff was already heavily into the habit of Core 4 (Body, Balance, Being, and Business), but now had the tools to not only back it up but to also take it to the next level.
