When I asked Helen what she did for a living a couple of years ago while in a Kettlebell Class at Nakoa Performance, she nonchalantly said, "I am a pro Snowboarder." OK. I then asked her what she does when its not snowing. "I hang out here in Encinitas." OK. I must of had the look of WTF on my face because she then said, "I know, it's pretty cool and I know it won't last forever so I am enjoying it now while it lasts." Hence her belief or mantra, if you will, of "Don't take yourself too seriously" and one of her biggest fear in life,  having regret. Regretting not taking a chance, regretting not taking a certain line while snowboarding in the backcountry of Whistler, Canada, or regretting not sticking with snowboarding after multiple injuries and people around her telling her that she should not board any longer.       She has become the only female on the YES team, appeared in all of their movies and was nominated for TransWorld's "Rookie of the Year" award for her "YES. It's a Movie" part. I first saw

Hey there!! Today we have on the Sho Zac Armstrong.  Zac came to San Diego from Texas for a change and found himself 30 years old and hadn't changed a bit: working in the restaurant business, drinking, smoking, eating at all hours of the day..... he needed a change. Well, him changing is an understatement. Zac is a self-described Teacher of Teachers, Coach, Studio Manager, and Teacher of Anatomy for Yoga Teacher Training in the United States and abroad. I know Zac to be an influencer in our industry, along with being a student of his sport. He is consistently looking at furthering his knowledge. In short: ZAC ROCKS!!! Enjoy the Sho!

Being a Contribution to the World from a place of Love Hey There!!! Today I interviewed a really good friend of mine, Dionizio Fisher, whom I have been friends with since Jr High School, close to 30 years. We reconnected about a year ago and found we have a similar interest and passion as to how do we contribute to our family's lives, community and ourselves through work we can do.  I wanted to get him on the show to get an on the court reality check where there are gaps in society and where we could make a difference. His life experiences has bestowed him much wisdom, far more than he gives himself credit for, available to pass on to the young men of the world, especially those young souls in jail or prison. I call him Fish. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!! Enjoy!! Robert Budd PS. I really hope you enjoy this podcast. If you would be so kind to rate this podcast in iTunes I would really appreciate it!! Thank you in advance!

Ben is a very special friend of mine. He is a Marriage and Family Counselor- violence specialist.  He is what I would call a "good soul".  Whenever I am around Ben I feel so much peace and ease that it is such a great experience. Ben is lives North of San Diego in a small coastal town of Cardiff. That is where he can be found and that is where we run into each other wondering around with the love of his life Debra. Ben and I first met while I was coaching and he as a member of Seal Fit Crossfit in Encinitas. Ben continues to rock those workouts on a daily basis! He is such an inspiration to many people around him including myself. We get into what had him become a Therapist and what has made him an exceptional human being and therapist. One thing being not perfect, being a trouble soul and needing counseling himself. Those how do teach, right? We also get into who has played a major role in his life and what Spiritual Leaders have influenced him. Enjoy!! Robert Budd PS. I really hope you enjoy this podcast. I

Q: What message would you like to leave people with? Sarah: "I like big butts and I can not lie!" Hey All! Sarah was so fun to interview! We did this right after working out together, which spent us both! The workout, Murph, is a Hero Workout in tribute to Michael Murphy. It is brutal and a little fun at the same time. Sarah is a former collegiate softball player and small town Ohio girl, one look at her and you might think “This girl could whoop my ass in just about anything.” True, she’s tough as nails and stronger than most guys, but with her fun-loving and silly personality, she’ll make you laugh in a heartbeat and instantly feel at home. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology and a Masters in Sports Marketing so it’s safe to say that sports and fitness is definitely passion of hers. She has a ton of experience in boxing and Muay Thai, Crossfit and Sports Performance. Her outlook on life is contagious and fun to be around. I hope you like the interview as much as I did doing it!! Enjoy!! Rober

The road for a UCSB graduate with a degree in Biochemistry to Strength Coach has been a curvy one. What events happened that make Mike different as a coach and therapist may be the events that would make most people take the path that has been prescribed to them.  We met during a Kettlebell class that I was teaching and was impressed in the amount of body control he had and that he does't shy away from being that guy who warms up differently than anyone else does. I was so impressed with his abilities that I asked him to train me and there our friendship begun.  I hope you enjoy hanging out with Mike and I as we chat in the coffee shop about why philosophy books have been more of an influence on him than the text books of his trade.  Enjoy!!!  Robert Budd

“If you want it you can have it.” Brandon Glade was told this by his father at a young age and has been something he has led his life by.  What an amazing experience sitting across the table from Brandon Glade as he tells of the events of his past that was the turning point in his life. This man dig deep in this interview and the strength of his character shined like no other. I consider strength in someone by how vulnerable they are willing to be and Brandon is STRONG AS HELL!! We talked about fitness, gut bombs from McDonalds, ADHD as a kid (and adult), and prison myths. THEN we got into some real s*@t. What was it was like for him to kick Herion and within 22 days get put back in Prison for his 3rd term because of what many people (men in particular) would see as the right thing to do at the time. We talk about who influenced him: from his older brothers to the legends of skating, to his father and the men at his weekly Spiritual meetings at North Coast Calvary. To say my mind was blown and my heart was fu

Hey All! Or as Lance would say, "hey Y'all!"  Having this conversation with Lance is the perfect example of why I love doing these interviews for the SHO. I got the opportunity to get to know someone who I have known for quit a while at a whole other level. Lance has been a huge impact on my life yet I did not really know him at all. By reaching out to Lance to have him on the show I now have a much deeper relationship with him. Lance is a Senior Partner at Aldebaran Associates International.

"Time is relevant, relationship is key, patience, discernment..." Michael Castrogiovanni Hey All! The burning question I had for Mike was, "How the heck do you survive?" I know Mike as someone who does alot of wandering. Meaning, I have know him for a few years and haven't known him to really have a career or permanent residence.  Another question I have always wanted to know is how does he do life without structure? How is it that my life is so structured and planned and how do I get it no so my structure makes up my identity?  These are the things that I wanted to know and much more. Michael has been a huge influence in my life and have always considered him a dear friend. I know you will feel like you are friends by the time you finish listening to this SHO!  Enjoy!!

Hi All!  Meet my friend Chris the Kiwi! He stayed with me and my wife Lynnzi for 2 weeks during the summer of 2016. To put this into context, we had never met before he stayed with us. It was sight unseen and as it turns out, Kiwi's are really cool down to earth type of people. So it all worked out and while staying with us we got to know each other a little. What intrigued me about Chris is his taste of music and his Athletic ability. The guy has got amazing body control and strength.  He has been a professional Irish Dancer from a very young age (5 I think) and from there got into Break Dancing, Martial Arts, Salsa and Tricking. Tricking is that crazy shit you see those youngsters doing and think to yourself there is no way I am doing  that!!  In this episode we talk a bunch about his passion, dedication and the fact that there isn't any predators on New Zealand (Iknow, random) amongst other fun facts.  Enjoy the Show!

This is a short clip of the interview with Glenn Stokoe. 

I have a few ways to get rid of stress in my body: Body Surfing, Postural Therapy, etc but Floating in a Float Pod at North County Float has been by far the most effective and efficient way of relieving stress. Now this is stress from the body and the mind. I come out of a session of Floating free of tension and feeling more creative because my mind and body are free of blockage. This may sound too good to be true and trust me I thought the same when first learning about Floating then I tried it and now I am hooked.  Floating has been around for over 50 years but it is most needed in these times of over stimulation and external stress. I feel my shoulders tensing up just sitting here writing this...... I gotta go float after this!!  Enjoy the SHO!!
