Andy Frisella - The Real AF MFCEO

March 07, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 85.5 MB

You don't get to write the beginning of your story. But you do get to write the rest of it. And for today's guest, at the beginning of his story, you would seldom find a person who believed in an optimistic middle and end for him. But as Andy Frisella explains to the young men of Apogee on this call, no one is going to believe you until after you achieve what you're after.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis.

Miranda Alcaraz - The Fearlessly Fit Female

February 28, 2022 13:00 - 57 minutes - 53 MB

There are two things that we have explored extensively on this show. 1. Schooling is vastly different from education- the two are not synonymous and 2. The greatest success is often found in the most unconventional ways by simply paying attention and taking action.

Elliott Hulse - Warrior, King, Magician, Lover

February 15, 2022 00:39 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MB

We talk a lot about the importance of dad's being in the home- but not just the physical proximity of it- fathers actually being a present and active role in raising strong young people for the world. We've seen a massive decline of such men. Men who are of the world and the trends of the culture rather than of the traditional masculine role of responsibility and virtue. Today's guest knows what it's like being a man of the world, and he completely rejected that path in favor of a more fulfi...

Max Martini - An Action Actor and A Man of Action

February 07, 2022 13:00 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MB

Confidence isn't inherent. It's earned through hard work and pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone. Even if, like in the case of today's guest, it means getting punched in the face. Max Martini works in an industry known very well for its rate of rejection -- it's the name of the game in Hollywood, and confidence is a must. Not something that our guest always had. But Max did always have the desire to push himself past his limitations to see what he's capable of. And it's paid off. Today...

Bo Hines - The Principally Grounded Politician

January 31, 2022 13:00 - 50 minutes - 46.9 MB

Iron sharpens iron. Today's guest knows that in order to become an individual of sound reason, your ideas will need to be challenged. You need to have a grounded philosophy and grounded ideals based in logic that can stand up to opposition. And in today's political climate, especially within colleges, any philosophy that goes against the narrative is quick to be silenced. Bo Hines explains to the young men of Apogee just how important it is to know who you are, what you believe, and have the...

January 31, 2022 13:00 - 50 minutes - 46.9 MB

Jon Fitch - The Fighter Who "Knows Nothing"

January 24, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MB

In a climate and a world today where you get celebrated for being a victim and it's a constant competition of who can have it the worst, today's guest lives his life without complaint. Not because there's nothing to complain about, but he understands that it's a waste of time. Life's not fair, no matter what the movies say. Jon Fitch learned that life lesson early on, and today he shares his experiences with the young men of Apogee.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis. Right now, listeners ...

Derek Woodske - Defier of the Hometown Mentality

January 17, 2022 23:24 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MB

The hometown mentality. It can either hold you back and keep you within the range of all you've ever known, or you can take a look around and decide you're meant for more. The latter is the case for today's guest, Derek Woodske. Derek has overcome tremendous challenges, injuries, and treacherous travels throughout his life. Today, he shares with the young men of Apogee his story and the importance of living life without regrets.  DEREK WOODSKE Derek is considered to be one of the premier l...

Tough and well-versed in fighting, today's guest has made a career for himself as a secret agent, a detective, police officer, lawyer, and more through acting.

Today, Frank Grillo shares with the young men of Apogee how he gets it done.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis. Right now, listeners of E11 can ...

Todd Herman - The Impenetrable Mindset, The Alter-Ego

December 06, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 90.4 MB

Split is one of Matt's favorite movies, simply for the concept of how our mentality can directly affect the physical manifestations that take place in our body and our life. If you've been listening to this podcast at all over the course of the past 120 episodes, you've definitely heard him talk about it. Today's guest is a man who knows all about the power of the mind, and how you can use your mentality (or rather the mentality of others) to achieve your goals.  Today's sponsor is Discover...

Ryan Michler - Protector, Provider, Presider

November 29, 2021 15:35 - 1 hour - 101 MB

Our listeners who have been with us since the beginning likely recognize this name, and anyone who is involved in the traditional masculinity space definitely knows this name.

November 23, 2021 22:22 - 1 hour - 94.3 MB

If you've ever wanted to hear a conversation between two Matt Beaudreau's, this is the episode for you. Matt has been in the education space for a long time and has seen how the game is played. If you've listened to any of our other episodes, you know how much he does not believe that college is necessary for success, and today's guest Isaac Morehouse shares that thinking- so much so that he built a business around it.  Character, work ethic, communication, and an ability to learn are highl...

Craig Ballantyne - Creator of the Perfect Day Formula

November 15, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 84.4 MB

When it comes to creating the perfect day- the perfect routine- we often think we need to go above and beyond. We think our diets have to consist of green juice and waking up at obscene times to fit in all that we hope to accomplish. But today's guest makes the case that the perfect day has less to do with jamming in more things, and has more to do with doing less of the things that we know aren't beneficial. As our Apogee participants are auditing their own time in the program, there was no...

Ben Pakulski - The Godfather of Intelligent Muscle Building

November 08, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Despite the stereotypes, extremely jacked men are often so much more than meatheads. As we've seen previously with former guest, Mark Bell. Today's guest is another prime example of how discipline, hard work, and self-awareness translate into impeccable physical health AND incredible success in life. The patterns of success apply to all areas. And no man knows that better than Ben Pakulski. Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis. Right now, listeners of E11 can get a $1,000 scholarship + a free...

Leif Babin - An Extreme Leader

November 01, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 84 MB

Perspective and leadership are everything on today's episode. It's easy to fall into feeling sorry for yourself. It's easy to avoid putting in the work because you're afraid of failure. It's easier to blame someone else. So that's the route many people take. For the few, while their peers may be avoiding the work, they're seeking it out. They're putting in the reps. They have gratitude for the challenging path. Because they know that's where refinement takes place. And no one knows that bett...

Russ Ruffino - An In Demand Entrepreneur

October 25, 2021 12:00 - 43 minutes - 60.2 MB

The pure trap of life isn't when you're in a situation that feels like hell. Life's biggest trap is when you're comfortable. When you're in a position where you could achieve your potential if you applied yourself, but where you're at seems "good enough" and you choose to reside there for way longer than you should. As today's guest explains, he realized this is where he was, and he became so disgusted that he would take such an easy route, he knew he needed to make a big change. That big ch...

Jill Simonian - The FAB Freedom Fighter

October 17, 2021 23:26 - 46 minutes - 63.8 MB

October 11, 2021 00:19 - 59 minutes - 81.6 MB

Nsima Inyang - A Break-The-Bar Athlete

September 26, 2021 17:28 - 1 hour - 111 MB

There tends to be an association that culture has around incredibly muscular men that assumes that's all they are- meatheads. But today's guest very clearly defies that stereotype, being one of the biggest dudes, but also by far one of the most intelligent. He's lead a life of forging his own path and going against the grain. Couldn't have asked for a better guest to come on to speak with the young men of Apogee.  NSIMA INYANG Nsima is a drug-free Professional Bodybuilder, elite-level Powe...

Jeff Hoffman - The Explosive Growth Mastermind

September 08, 2021 04:52 - 1 hour - 86.3 MB

Today's guest is another bucket-list mentor and this recording did not disappoint. Not only is he extremely well-accomplished, perhaps the most accomplished of any of our guests, but he also is a mission-motivated man. And that mission is to make the world a better place. I can't think of a better man than Jeff Hoffman to have on an Apogee Friday call to pour into our young men.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis.

Erin Alejandrino - The White Belt Mindset

Rafa Conde - A Man of War

August 02, 2021 05:08 - 1 hour - 87.1 MB

Warriorship is a mindset. It is a mindset refined by action, self-awareness, self-mastery, and challenge. Few know that better than today's guest, Rafa Conde. Apogee seeks to bring back intentional refinement of masculinity, and Rafa is on a similar mission at a whole other level. Today the young men of Apogee ask Rafa their questions, and he does not hold back. From the self-discipline that creates success to his personal experiences on the front lines of danger, this episode is truly raw a...

Nick Bare - The "Go One More" Entrepreneur

July 25, 2021 22:27 - 1 hour - 83.5 MB

When it comes to winning, some people just have a mindset that the vast majority of people don't understand. Because winning repeatedly requires- not just a willingness- but an eagerness to face challenges again and again that most people can barely stomach once. It's the consistency of pushing yourself just a little bit more each time, of "going one more" that creates results. Nick Bare, today's guest understands that mindset and shares what it's taken to get him there with the young men of...

Zach Bitter - An Ultramarathon Mindset

July 18, 2021 18:48 - 1 hour - 102 MB

For some, entrepreneurship is just in their DNA. But in the case of today's guest, his DNA set him up to be a record-breaking endurance athlete. Zach jumped on a call with the young men of Apogee and talked about how having the right mindset, a willingness to try new things, and the endurance to push through can be the perfect recipe for success.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis.

Gino Wickman - A Man Who Took the Entrepreneurial Leap

July 11, 2021 23:46 - 56 minutes - 76.9 MB

In a day and age where "Entrepreneur" has become the trendiest thing to be, today's guest affirms that not everybody is cut out to be an entrepreneur. In fact, the traits that make someone best-suited to be an entrepreneur are things that we're born with, not things that we acquire over time. Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Find out on today's episode with Gino Wickman.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis. Right now, listeners of E11 can get a $1,000 scholarship + a free bo...

Nick Koumalatsos - The Excommunicated Warrior

July 04, 2021 20:17 - 1 hour - 128 MB

Today's guest really poured into the young men of Apogee. He talks about his experience growing up without a father and how that got him searching for a tribe in all the wrong places. That set him down a path that took some hard-hitting experiences and great male figures in his life for him to realize he needed to make a change. And boy did he. All that and more on today's episode.  Today's sponsor is Discover Praxis. Right now, listeners of E11 can get a $1,000 scholarship + a free book! S...

Phil Daru - The Trainer of Champions

June 20, 2021 17:59 - 1 hour - 85.9 MB

"Pivot" is the name of the game in today's episode. Our guest certainly has a deep understanding of what it's like to not have things work out the way you planned them. Phil Daru from a young age had wanted to play professional football and some decisions that he made became obstacles on his journey. But even still he pressed on. Until circumstances prevented him from moving forward. He changed course and got into fighting until that also was no longer an option. Phil shares his journey with...

Listeners, you will not find a better masterclass on fear than this episode of The Essential 11.

David Garibaldi - The Innovative Performance Artist

May 23, 2021 15:26 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MB

Today's guest is not only arguably one of the best- most innovative artists in the world. But he is also a spectacular human being. A local of Sacramento, David Garibaldi has raised over 6 million dollars for charity through his art. And he's not done making moves yet. In today's episode, we get into how David got to where he is today by creatively combining his passions rather than going a "traditional" route. His journey hasn't been without its obstacles. But that's the true test of succes...

Bryan Callen - The All-American Comedian

May 16, 2021 16:07 - 54 minutes - 74.6 MB

Bryan Callen brings so much energy to this call with the men of Apogee. This episode goes on my list of top 5 episodes. I'm also not afraid to admit it. I messed up. And as a result, the audio quality of today's episode is not up to par with what it usually is. But I promise you can still get everything that you need to out of it and it's with probably one of the biggest guests we've ever had. This episode had me fired up and even I had a whole bunch of great takeaways. BRYAN CALLEN Bryan ...

Robb Wolf - Leading the Healthy Rebellion

May 09, 2021 15:31 - 49 minutes - 68.2 MB

Barring Jocko, there is no one who we talk about on this podcast (who we haven't actually had on) more than Robb Wolf. That changes today! We've talked about Robb Wolf on nearly every episode in conversations around challenging the stereotypical narrative around health. He has been instrumental in redefining what health means not just for me, but for hundreds of thousands of other people too. ROBB WOLF Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist is the 2X New York Times/WSJ Best Selling author...

Andy Stumpf - Unafraid to Make the (World-Record) Leap

May 02, 2021 17:31 - 1 hour - 83.2 MB

Some people are afraid to climb 5 flights of stairs and then look down while others, like today's guest, jump out of airplanes for fun. This is a guy who doesn't back down from a challenge or a thrill and intentionally lives his life in a way where he's constantly pushing himself to be greater. Andy Stumpf is a good friend of Jocko Willink and Apogee Co-Founder Tim Kennedy- it's clear why. Great men only surround themselves with other great men. We were incredibly grateful to have Andy on ou...

Marcus Aurelius Anderson - A Modern-Day Stoic

April 25, 2021 21:45 - 1 hour - 104 MB

So very few people have the perspective on life and the mindset that this man has because so few people have had to go through what he has. Marcus has been, by far, one of my favorite Apogee Friday call guests that we have had to date. And with a name like Marcus Aurelius Anderson, none of that comes as any surprise. Grateful to have people like him pouring into the young men of Apogee and being a living example of the savage gentleman. MARCUS AURELIUS ANDERSON Today's guest is Marcus Aure...

Josh Blue - A Real Stand-Up Guy

April 05, 2021 01:08 - 43 minutes - 59.6 MB

One of the most challenging things to be good at is comedy. It's always a balance between relatableness, bluntness, and timing. It's a hard thing to master. I truly believe that it takes a special kind of person and a special kind of mindset. Josh Blue is truly a super-human in comedy. We get into his backstory, and the amount of material that he was writing within short blocks of time is just unheard of. He got good by being willing to put himself out there time and again, seeing what worke...
