C&T Ep. 48: The power of Strength w/ Charisma, especially in Women

C&T Ep. 47:

Miranda drops some nutrition knowledge at 28:58, and Ben get's into the heart and mind stuff at 51:30. The best for the very last, right? Y'all are awesome! 

8:00- Opening Day for MLB and is baseball still America's past time? 

13:15- The Freestyle program at Black Wolf is growing! 

18:49- The beginning of the Christopher Robin conversation. Have you seen it? Did Winnie the Pooh play a role in your childhood? 

19:59- Ben gets a little judgy about comic book movies

21:26- the gym is haunted and a ghost moved the hoolahoop on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram Live. Call the paranormal investigators! 

22:28- The Sound of Music had a 3 hour run time and they had the decency to program in an intermission. Will Marvel's 3 hour monstrosity, END GAME, have an intermission? 

25:00- True artistry is delivering incredibly value in as little as possible, right? Use less words. 

26:13- The fallacy of more is better. After all, some people would prefer we program "Murph" once a month if not more.

27:50- Ben thinks killing characters you eventually "bring back to life" is just Dollar Store creativity.  

28:58- Miranda brings us Nutrition Tip #3. What do you know about protein? She'll be unpacking the 3 macro nutrients over the next three weeks so stay tuned. 

33:43- Joel discusses comic books, escapism, and Stan Lee

34:44- Ben questions Joel's credibility when it comes to movie recommendations after last weeks Triple Frontier suggestion. 

41:10- Ben's Man Crush Friday

43:35- Back to Christopher Robin for real this time. And everybody cried. You should too. Don't be too cool for emotions. Truly cool kids embrace vulnerability. 

47:24- The bi-weekly Joe Rogan tangent

51:30- Ben really wants you to watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime

 

In The Open 2019 Wrap Up Show

Miranda and Joel sit down to brag about some of y'alls amazing performances over the last 5 weeks. They discuss the results from each week as well as the winner of the team competition at the end. Enjoy! 

C&T Ep. 46: The Podcast You Actually Deserve

I want to apologize for the past few episodes. They have been sloppy and unplanned and although that can be fun for those of you close to us because stream of consciousness from people you enjoy is entertaining at times, we did not launch this podcast to be just two guys shooting the shit. 

Today is a new day. And, as we discuss in the episode, it is largely due to the relief that Miranda's arrival to Team Black Wolf has provided. 

3:30- We start this episode with Coffe Talk with Joel. He takes us through his morning coffee routine and demonstrates the iced pour over method with 1885 Coffee. We add a shot of espresso that we made in our Brevel Espresso machine with Inteligensia Espresso Beans and the results were amazing. 

24:20- We talk about how amazing it has been to have Miranda with us. I, Ben, feel like the old me that started this business four years ago with so much fire in my soul, and Joel finally gets to actually rest and recover between his bouts of high energy coaching and engagement with our athletes. Life is good. 

SUB STORY: 26:45- Ben worked at Abercrombie and management was about as effective as you might expect from people hired for their douchiness instead of their work ethic. 

35:50- We discuss our initial thoughts on our Enneagram (personality assessment) results and how some of us are raised being reminded of where our strengths are while others are rarely if ever told. Life is not equal and life is not fair. We have to keep this in mind. 

51:35- There is not quantifiable proof that Ben and Joel are literally opposites. As in no overlap on strengths at all. Where he is strong, I am weak. And where I am strong, he is weak. 

54:10- Things to come: 

• Freestyle at Black Wolf officially launches April 1st with 3 class offerings: Freestyle Grit, Freestyle HIIT, and Freestyle Enduro. On March 25th, we will be opening up the schedule. 6am Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 6:45 (INSTEAD OF 7PM), Monday-Wednesday. And the biggest news: all 5 classes offered on the Black Wolf schedule are open and available to our Freestyle athletes. We will be running Freestyle Grit and Freestyle HIIT programming every Thursday from here on out. Freestyle athletes are also invited to join us on Sunday at 10:30am (with FREE Sunday Yoga at 11:45am). That means you now have 13 classes to choose from each week. And, if you sign up before April 1st, the price is just $85! 

 

• Den of Wolves: We are launching the Black Wolf Business Directory in April. If you are a Black Wolf athlete that offers a service or product you would like to make known to this community, please let me know. Send me an email at Ben@BlackWolfCF.com with a description and photo (or I can just use one of Joel's photographs of you working out like a badass. Your call). We will feature one business a week on the podcast and on the social media accounts and we will have them all posted on the website. 

 

C&T Ep. 45: What's hot on Netflix and Nutrition with Miranda

Miranda drops some nutrition advice in at 29:39 so be sure to check that out. 

The rest is for your enjoyment. 

We do ask toward the beginning for your help in building the future format for this podcast. Right now we are looking at 

-Coffee Talk: Joel teaching me something he has recently discovered about the wonderful world of coffee

-What did you watch, listen to, read: We are only allowed to reference Joe Rogan once a month. This may be business related or, like today, what we have really, really enjoyed consuming for our own entertainment (check out the F1 Docuseries on Netflix. It's AMAZING!). 

-Upcoming announcements

 

What else would you like to hear us talk about? This can be a researched subject, or just our personal thoughts. Your call. This is for y'all and we do not want it to continue to devolve into Joel and I just having conversations we can have outside of the podcast. 

 

Thanks for being awesome!
