Monday Morning with Mike & MaxVon Mike Bledsoe

This week on Monday Morning with Mike & Max We get super nerdy on today’s show about fitness. From selecting training partners to tips and tricks to make yourself stronger.

Did you know that 4% of the population are psychopaths? This is a consistent statistic that has been repeatedly published over different decades. Sure, the dumb ones end up in prison, the smart ones end up in finance & tech, and the vain ones find themselves in politics. What’s the possibility that psychopaths are largely responsible for WHAT you t…

I’ve witnessed women tear each other apart emotionally in the name of “self-expression”. Self-expression is a characteristic of “self-love” and I want everyone to experience it. For most people, they’ve suppressed it for so long, that when it finally comes out it is jarring for everyone around them. The pendulum swings and they could give 2 shits a…

One of my mentors once told me “powerful leaders hold paradox”. As many paradoxical statements can land, I wasn’t quite sure what he was talking about. I had to go look up the word. Needed the definition first. So in case you are like I was I’ll save you a google search. From Merriam-Webster : one (such as a person, situation, or action) having see…

The prohibition on plant medicine is slowly lifting and we find ourselves at critical crossroads. With a lack of acceptance in the west for so long, we end up with a gap in education about traditional medicine. Medicines that used to be typical have become shrouded in mystery. Education that was passed down from former generations has been all but …

Nothing better than regurgitating shit you saw on a documentary. That’s usually the extent of most people’s knowledge on the subject. Good thing we’re extra smart over here. The bottom line is our perception of the world shapes reality. You know, actual reality. I’m not playing that silly game where I say “your perception is your reality”, because …

Does spiritual development always have to be hard? Or Can we make it easy and fun? Over the years I’ve found that we can access the greatest part of ourselves while accessing joy and community. And if you’ve been following me for very long then you know that it always leads to the dancefloor. Why are we doing all this work anyway? Let’s enjoy ourse…

Do you ever find yourself in a relationship where the other person starts acting like you owe them something? I know I have. And it doesn’t feel very good. It usually starts with one party doing all sorts of things for the person without asking. It’s all very nice until one day BAM! There’s an unmet expectation that was never communicated. This is …

As a coach there’s nothing more valuable to your business than getting in front of your ideal audience. And with the coaches I’ve worked with this seems to be the biggest barrier to success. But anytime we start to think about what it takes to get on stage whether it be in person, a podcast or IG, the gears come to a screeching halt. A lack of know…

Men and women are created equal… But not in all things. Well at least in the way it’s practiced. I’m afraid people have confused equality with being “identical”. And I can only imagine how boring that world would be. Instead of seeking fairness I think we can do a better job of honoring and celebrating our differences. To do otherwise is to reject …

I’m not talking about that fake alpha facade you may be familiar with on reality tv shows. I’m talking about the real alpha stuff. The alpha with substance. The one that doesn’t have to be the loudest in the room because they know who they are. They know what they’re capable of. And whether everyone else recognizes it consciously or not, the alpha …

You may think that solving problems through play is a novel idea. But the reality is, it’s the most foundational way that we develop the skills of curiosity and honing the capacity for focus. Play is the very first way that we learned… and then things got serious. Max and I discuss how forgetting to play has hurt us in the past and what we did to l…

I know a lot of you either consider yourself a high performer or want to be. But if you’re not a high performer in relationships then you’re likely holding yourself in the other areas of your life. Drop in to today’s show with Stefanos Sifandos as we discuss his journey as a high performer inside and outside of relationships. This is a man of wisdo…

Today Max and I discuss what we’ve learned about sex, masturbation, porn, and tantra. It wasn’t an easy road. In fact, it feels a lot more like stumbling around in the dark. You don’t have to stumble too far yourself though. In this show we discuss a few things we’ve learned over the years that have enhanced our sex lives and relationships.…

What’s it like to put all your fears on the line and approach complete strangers with odd requests? Today we find out. My guest is Brad Lancaster of the YouTube channel “Discover Connection”. A filmmaker discontent with the amount of connection he was experiencing decided to put himself in precarious situations and film it. I’ve watched several of …

Human curiosity is an interesting thing. To the uninitiated it is viewed as an assault. When someone is questioned on their beliefs their identity is threatened and defense mechanisms step in to guard our precious self. Will AI loosen the grip our minds have on who we think we are and lead to enlightenment? Maybe. It will definitely change the land…

In the last couple decades cannabis has slowly moved into our culture that has become more and more accepted. Normalized. But the true power of it is commonly overlooked. With stereotypical stoner movies creating a particular narrative that people who use cannabis are slow, stupid, and find themselves in strange predicaments. And while the stereoty…

How does social mind control work? Are there specific examples of it at play? That amongst many other interesting topics are on the menu for today’s Monday Morning with Mike & Max show.

Today’s show is with Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG. He’s a holisitc OBGYN as well as a Chek Institute professional. That’s right, a couple of dudes sat down to talk about birth. As someone who is obsessed with human development this interview was a real treat. What could be more pivotal to your development than what happens before, during, and after a pr…

10 minutes after meeting Dr. Ted Achacoso (pioneer for Health Optimization Medicine), he hands me a clear troche and tells me to put it under my upper lip. This was a trust fall… and he passed the sniff test. Soon after the consumption we sat down for a podcast interview where I experienced my awareness shift and expand into the conversation. From …

Mike & Max break down the 80/20 rule on how to optimize your business and life.

Kyle Kingsbury, Mark England, and Adam Chin. They all have something in common. A couple weeks ago I invited the best narrative geeks in the game over to the studio to have a little fun with conspiracy theories. And as you probably already know, conspiracy theories are just theoretical narratives that are labeled as such because it counters the nar…
