About this listen

In this short episode, Michael and guest Marcus Edwards break down one of the most overlooked principles in combat sports and life: training with intention.

Using real experiences from sparring, coaching, and years in martial arts, we explore why simply showing up isn’t enough — and how ego, fatigue, and autopilot thinking keep men stuck at the same level. The conversation looks at humility, awareness, and why having a clear motive in every round, session, and decision is what actually drives improvement.

We discuss game planning, conserving energy, adapting under pressure, and how fighters can use structure and purpose to evolve instead of surviving sessions. The episode also explores how the same principles apply outside the gym — in work, relationships, personal growth, and self-mastery.

This is a grounded, practical conversation about discipline, adaptability, and becoming harder to break — not just in the ring, but in life.
