In this episode, I’m sitting down with DJ Shipley of GBRS (Global Battlefield Research Solutions) to talk about how a life dedicated to becoming the most elite at your craft can the ultimate asset for your family. Especially when that craft is elevating your physical and mental health and abilities.

Be an asset, never a liability.

NOTE: This was recorded 4/9/26 prior to the G.1.M Ultra

In this episode, I sit down with BPN athlete Jonny Davies 24 hours before the G1M Ultra to talk about ultra running, confidence, self-respect, and the work behind becoming the person you want to be. Jonny shares how running helped him rebuild his relationship with himself, why confidence is earned through action, and how journaling, training, nutrition, and discipline shaped his G1M prep.

We also break down the backyard ultra format, fueling for endurance, the power of community, and why the process matters more than the finish line.
