Lessons Learned

Real fun episode with the internet fighting sensation Shinigami. Danny Uribe has taken the internet by storm on the wildly popular youtube series Street Beefs. To be honest the first time I laid eyes on this gentleman I laughed and thought he was about to get knocked out and run off the show. He is very unassuming and a little over the top with his fight gear. Little did I know that with in a minute I would be whistling a completely different tune. Danny is extremely skilled and has earned this mans respect. He has gone on to win some impressive fights on the youtube series Street Beefs and gained national attention. I have not seen this much excitement for a backyard fighter since Kimbo Slice. Shinigami is a good guy with an even better story and we were lucky enough to sit with him while he shared it. He has lofty goals and at this rate just might make them. Hope you enjoy the show!!

On this weeks episode we chat with one of the most ambitious young people that I know. Courtney Goodson is a woman that knows what she wants and is not afraid to go out and get it. Her bloodline is filled with high level athletes across multiple sports that have played at the highest levels. Court could have chosen to go down that route and would have done quite well. She was different though, she has taken the hyper competitive spirit that lives in her gene pool and has applied it to business/media/marketing. She is furthering her education, gaining valuable experience and on the verge of creating her own media platform. If you enjoy listening to strong women speak then do I have the podcast for you. Hope you enjoy this episode of The Be Someone Podcast with Courtney Goodson. 

We sit down and chat with this proud Houstonian. Christel is equal parts intelligent and interesting which makes for one heck of an interview. I met the good doctor when she interviewed me for my children's book release. I was super impressed with her intellect and ability to pull great information from the person she was interviewing. I knew after our chat that she was someone who I really wanted to follow up with and have as a guest on my show. She is a doctor in the field of Neuro Science and is currently furthering her education at Rice University. Hope you enjoy this fun and interesting interview with "The Good Doctor" Christel Bastida

Proud to call this gentleman my friend. Dr. Williams is an interesting blend of experience and education. Sometimes in life you run into people who have either studied the walk or walked the walk. T is someone who has done both and taken the opportunity to help others along the way. Everywhere  Tarell goes he leaves a trail of goodness in those tracks. Whether it be as an educator at Conroe H.S, Track Coach, and now in the mental health field. Just to let you know how high of regard I hold this man I used to put my kids in his track program just so they could hear his words of wisdom. The exercise was secondary to the wisdom he was sharing with these young people. Please enjoy this episode of The Be Someone Podcast with Dr. T Will.

We have an awesome interview with the future of athletic performance training. Brian Mcginty has embarked on a journey to change the game and open peoples eyes to a new way of thinking. For years trainers have found ways to make the vehicle bigger, faster, and stronger. In the process  they have neglected the most important component, the driver. Coach Mcginty under the tutelage of the Marinovich brothers is making great strides in this department. He is slowly growing his empire and big things are definitely on the horizon for this athletic performance savant.  Sit back and enjoy this conversation with the creator of the Pow3r Plus training system.
