Pirate Life with Tait Fletcher

Myself (@Natronovitch), @TheRubenRivera, and Edward McGovern III (therapist and 10th Planet Santa Fe blue belt) joined @TaitimusMaximus in the office of Undisputed Fitness where we consumed copious amounts of Bulletproof coffee and talk about health, the Whole Life Challenge, jiu jitsu, and get unexpectedly joined by @eddiebravo.

The master and founder of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu, @eddiebravo, talks about the Denny Prokopos / Justin Rader super fight, cutting weight, his upcoming rematch with Royler Gracie and more! He's hands down, the finest, most accessible and useful Jiu Jitsu coach I've ever had the absolute fucking privelege of learning from. I came to him as a strong purple belt in 2005, and have had the honor to call him my teacher since then. I"ve proudly carried the flag of !0th Planet since that time and have been continually blown away by his worldview as well as the way he takes the walls off of our sport and nurtures fertile ground for its growth.   I could go on and on about that...hes a badass musician and has a large body of great work...but it isnt nearly a composite picture, nor is this particular podcast telling of all he is. He's a world-shaker and a revolutionary...he inspires and questions and is a true heretic.  He is open and inquisitve and nurturing. He is a fantastic father and continually growing.   I cant say

I hung out in my apartment in LA joined by @annielederman and @natronovitch. Annie is a badass comedienne I know from Santa Fe who made her way to New York where she worked her way up the comedy ladder and recently made her way to LA. We discuss the hustle of the comedy world and what it makes to take it, how to properly pronounce her last name, and her history of sexual partner.

@Natronovitch is a manager and CrossFit coach and @therubenrivera is the jiu jitsu instructor at my gym, Undisputed Fitness, in Santa Fe. We cover Nate's upcoming combat jiu jitsu match in LA this Sunday, spanx, boners, and all kinds of other interesting and deep stuff!

Coach Greg Jackson found a spot to chat with me for the enjoyment of all you Bulletproof Badasses. We span the topics from kids in MMA/military operators/Synchronicity theory/MMA adaptation of nearly all literary, artistic, scientific thought/family, etc. As my coach, I couldn't be more proud to have him on. As a genius, what a privilege to learn from and speak with on a whole different level than simply as an athlete. The convo is really about a legend. A trailblazer in this beautiful sport. Coach is a man that worked through and created templates for success around problems that other coaches haven't encountered yet... dual contenders in the same camps... psychological health of athletes.. after plans for fighters... YOU NAME IT. Enjoy, ya'll. #staybulletproof

My friend Derik, solid human and stunt man extraordinaire, rolled from the 505 to the shores of Sunny Cali-forn-ia with me. He's one of the most interesting people I know and I could chat with the bastard for hours. He's a font of info and really interesting guy. I love him and you will too!

My friend Arlo Rosner is a film producer and all around badass. He is joined by Maynard Del Mar, one of my besties who also works in the film biz. As usual, we start off business, get distracted, and talk about STD's... and morph into a convo about high performance/function/communal encouragement and excellence. I really liked this one because we all have seen each other through different incarnations; club kid/drug dealer/bouncer/etc.... TRANSCENDENCE, YA'LL!!!

Camille Macres is the author of a fantastic cook book called "PaleoGasm". I spent the afternoon in her cooking class and was enthralled by her energy and knowledge. Her dishes were INCREDIBLE!!! I at once jumped at the opportunity to have her as a guest, and she agreed. We met, she had wine, some badass stew I'd made the day before, and my ADD coversation ensued! She was perhaps expecting something more formal. This was better! Finder at @reciperx!

This is LA. estevanoriol.com shows you a glimpse into this street artist/photographer/clothing/designer/innovator/trend setter.... the man's a BOSS. I met him at SA Studios where he and Mr Cartoon have built an empire from the street up. It was awesome, inspiring and left me reeling with how dope my life is. We touched on a little of everything and it left me eager for the next time... #thisislosangeles

This edition features actor Kevin Rankin. A badass performer that I'm working with right now. He was incredible in Friday Night Lights and his mind is FASCINATING! He leans towards libertarianism and strives towards true freedom and empowerment. The chat took place in the hotel lobby in Abq, and a couple folks came in and out; our buddy Cory that does makeup for films, and the brilliant Jesse Plemons, of The Master, who may grace us on a future episode. I hope you all glean as much off it as I did!

A nice chat went down at Urth Cafe on Melrose... Myself, @AriShafir, and @Natronovitch take in the sites, combat the busser over our right to record our voices. Going over Ari's sordid sexual history/his history of comedy and origins of the young genius. Similarities between figthing and comeday, and the webs in between. I think we meander into the famous Hard Rock Hotel fight where I pull guard and then squeeze a bully's neck til he's asleep while Rogan calms security. ENJOY.

Two LA OG's who flipped their lives into fashion.
