Burn the Ships

About Burn the Ships

Burn the Ships is a podcast for dreamers who want to live more courageously and have more fun doing it. I'm interviewing the most hilarious, courageous, and inspiring people I can find to start conversations that help us all move down the road. In 711AD, Tariq ibn Ziyad led 7,000 soldiers across the water from Northern Africa to attack the Visigoths in modern-day Spain. 100,000 enemy soliders waited for their arrival, ready to destroy them. Tariq's men began to retreat when their general gave one of the greatest commands of all time. "Burn the ships." Their only escape route engulfed in flames, the men turned towards their enemy and, against all odds, slaughtered the opposition and established a new kingdom that would last for the next 800 years. In a world where most of us won't lead naval brigades to conquer other nations, what does it mean to be courageous? How do we make the most of this one life we each get to live?

   Phillip Blow

   You can’t miss Phillip Blow in the room—one because he’s got biceps the size of propane tanks, but more importantly because he’s the most joy-filled person in every space he walks into. He’s the kind of guy who makes you feel better about the day simply by being himself. It’s incredible. So, when we first sat down for coffee I was fascinated by the amount of tragedy in his story. The loss of his daughter, wrongful incarceration, business failure, and divorce led Phil to a moment backstage at a bodybuilding competition that changed everything. Today, he’s a partner at a tech firm, works with a number of fitness brands, and is an incredible influence in the lives of his family and friends. Today’s Burn the Ships episode is worth your time. Listen close.

   Karissa Johnson

   Karissa Johnson has more energy in her pinky finger than you have in your entire body, AND she’s my only friend who has visited all seven continents. She’s a world explorer and teacher who has overcome some major challenges to get where she’s at today, which we dive into in this episode. I promise this one will make you want to dream bigger for your life and probably leave you doing cartwheels everywhere you go today.

   Mary-Michael Brenner | Just Hold On

   I sat down with Mary-Michael (and her two cats) recently to talk about her new album, how to courageously create things in public without being afraid of people's opinions, and why cats may be better than dogs. (You heard me right.) Her first single, "Come Too Far", is out NOW on Spotify, and the full album, "Just Hold On", drops later in November. Don't miss it!
