Welcome to the 714! The day of recording this episode was the first time I met Ronnie. I didn't really come into it with too many expectations (or at least I try not to, because I feel like that causes more problems than it solves). So, I pulled into a parking space, and see another car pull up next to mine, I look outside the passenger side window... and see a big smile shine through a tinted window. I knew immediately we were going to have a fantastic time, and that we did. Enjoy :)

Welcome to the 714! I was going through a flurry of thoughts when I came across Andrew's channel. I felt like I was living the old saying, when the student is ready the teacher will appear. And like most students, I listened, I listened to ideas that I've heard a million times be put in a new way. It made me delve deeper into myself, and embrace parts of myself that have caused me to hold back in life. I think life puts us in challenging places to see if we have the courage to embrace something we think is so real. Because as soon as I was aware of the fear, it was gone. So, thank you Andrew for sharing your ideas, it impacts people in more ways than you'll ever know.

Welcome to the 714! So, unfortunately we had some technical difficulties in the beginning of the episode. We ended realizing 20 minutes after we started that the audio wasn't recording (my heart actually dropped when I found out, I was like this can't be lol). Luckily, it was only 20 minutes (gotta look at the good side too) and we were able to keep rolling. But don't worry, Gaurav will be back soon and we'll get a 2 hour heart-to-heart conversation in. For now enjoy, this short (by my standards lol) episode and as always much love :)

Welcome to the 714! How much do you bench bro? Most people might say 185, 225, maybe 305. But how many people can say they've benched 560 pounds! I'll tell you who can't, me. But David mf'n Reyes can. He might be able to lift an entire grand piano over his chest lol. And after meeting him I can tell you under all that muscle is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. And I think you'll agree while you're listening to this, not only is he freakishly strong, but his caring and loving attitude is palpable and that's the real strength.

Welcome to the 714! Joey is one of those guys who you just love being around. The vibe this man gives off, is nothing but love and positivity. I think we all need people like that in our lives and try our best to be that person for others. And I hope while you're listening to this, you feel that energy. Much love.

Welcome to the 714! Some ships are wood ships, but those ships may sink. The best ships are friendships, and to those ships, we drink! It's always a fun-loving time when we're with people who make us feel comfortable to be ourselves. To be able to share our deepest secrets and personal afflictions with, there's nothing like a good friend. And if you don't agree, here's two hours and twenty-seven minutes of the finest testimonial you'll ever hear. Enjoy!

Welcome to the 714! You never know when you're gonna go, so we sippin' scotch like Frank Sinatra. Shout out Young Sinatra. Anyways, I don't drink often but when I do it's always in high spirits (see what I did there?) and with good company. And on this faithful evening was one of those times, I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to have a glass with a good friend. So, we made it happen... and good googly-moogly was it fun time. Cheers and enjoy!

Welcome to the 714! This was month's in the making, and I'm glad we finally got together because this is why love doing it. Mind you, we were all coming off some sort of sickness, but none of that mattered once we were in the studio. It seems like there's always something in the air, right before we record. A mix of excitement and nervousness that combusts into the best way to spend any 2 hours. A composition of laughter, stories, and deep thoughts. Enjoy.

Welcome to the 714! This was a reunion of sorts. A group of elementary school kids getting back together. It was fun to catch up and look back on how much each of us had grown. 10 years doesn't always seem like a long time, but I'll tell you, a lot changes in a decade. And that's not a bad thing. One should change, change is necessary, integral I should say, to life. Without it, life becomes dull and meaningless. So, it's important to take it upon yourself, so that in 10 years you can look back and be proud of the person you have become.

Welcome to the 714! I don't want to say it... f**k it, I'll say it. This is a top 5, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 episode. I already knew the second we shook hands in the parking lot, that this was going to be a special episode. And boy, oh boy was it. You know what, I don't think you're ready to hear the onslaught of motivation coming your way. By the end of this, if you're not conquering the world, you're not human lol. But really, I wish I could go back in time and do it again, that's how much fun we had recording this. And so I hope you have as much fun as we did, listening and watching. Much Love.
