EE 300: Growth On and Off the Mats with Adam Livesay

In Episode 302, I sit down with the Row West crew following our first true test of the mission, a full 24-hour ocean run operating on a strict 2 hours on, 2 hours off rotation. This was our first real look at how we function as a team under fatigue, in the elements, and on the water, we will soon be living in. We talk through what we learned physically, mentally, and as a crew. What worked, what did not, and what needs to improve as we get closer to departure. With about a month until we push off for Hawaii, this is where everything starts to get real and the small details begin to matter more. This episode also goes into what we hope to gain from this expedition, who we are doing it for, and why we continue to lean into difficult things. Each guy brings a different perspective and background, and you can start to hear how it is all coming together. Follow the journey, be inspired, and step into your own challenge.

In Episode 301, I sit down with John Carughi, best known for disarming a suspect armed with a stolen police-issued AR-15 in downtown Seattle during the George Floyd riots, an incident captured on video by a local reporter. John is a former Marine and an exceptionally skilled firearms instructor specializing in rifle, pistol, and long-range shooting. We dive into stories from his background, mental health, hunting, and more. This conversation has been years in the making, and I'm glad we finally made it happen.

Adam is one of Electric Jiu Jitsu's success stories as he's utilized the powers developed on the mats to positively impact all other aspects of his life.

His ability to remain positive and see the good in all situations is unlike anyone I know, and we could all use someone like Adam in our lives!

Episode 299 is a solo episode where I take a deep dive into what we want out of society as men, and the leadership traits required for us to become inspirational and influential figures for the generations coming up behind us. At 45 years old, we should be comfortable sharing our wisdom and knowledge in an effort to empower the next generation to break the cycle of political corruption, endless wars, and division.

In Episode 297, I sit down once again with Sean McCormick. Sean is no stranger to the show, but today we did things a little differently. Sean interviewed me about my new book, Courage Through Adversity. As always, we went down plenty of rabbit holes, but it was great to talk about the book in detail on the show.

In Episode 296, I sit down with Megan Sellstrom. Megan spent the last 13 years as a crime scene investigator in Louisiana. She recently identified the heaviness the profession was causing and made the courageous decision to walk away and step into a new phase of life.  Megan loved the career, as you'll hear on the show. It was fascinating, and she held a passion for it, but being subjected to violence for years took its toll. Her story is not unlike many people inside the profession, and she made the decision to prioritize her heart over her career.  Please enjoy Episode 296 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.

In Episode 295, I sit down with my main homie Greg Lapin. We discuss all the normal necessities of life: capability, training, reflecting on our careers as law enforcement officers, and of course, jiu jitsu.
