   Episode 19: Colton Waltner

   Welcome to the final episode of Season 1 of the DEUCE Racing podcast! A big thank you to all for listening over this past year. We've got one hell of a community that is vulnerably pursuing their best life, and this final episode with Colton Waltner is certainly one hell of a guest to finish with. From pro baseball player to current DEUCE Coach and Staff member, Colton Waltner has never shied away from the hard work it takes, day in and day out, to forge the ordinary into the extraordinary. Colton lives life with his hands in the dirt, and after listening to this episode, you'll want to, too.

   Episode 16: Tim Brown

   “I think when you’re in a metropolis like this – a sprawl, so many people – it’s easy to get lost and it’s easy to forget who you are, and it’s easy to feel insignificant. And I felt like DEUCE became this little flower that pops up on the sidewalk between the cracks. Where it felt like, okay, I belong here. This is my little corner of the world, of LA, of Venice.” Tim Brown, ladies and gentleman. One of the original members of DEUCE Gym, it is with great excitement that I'd like to share with you the latest episode of the DEUCE Racing Podcast, featuring Tim! Tim is the type of person that makes the yard more comfortable, just by being in it. And, much like with his incredibly impressive, decorated career in journalism, after listening to this episode, you'll better understand and appreciate how the charm that surrounds Tim wherever he is is no coincidence. Not only that, but it's accessible to you too.. Warmly inviting you to listen to Episode 16 with this one-of-a-kind man, myth, and legend.

   Episode 15: TJ Stafford

   TJ Stafford makes music. Pretty incredible music, mind you. Fascinated by the creative process, and what we can distill from experts in their craft, like TJ, who are committed to a lifetime of continual production, I asked him about his process for creating new songs. “Does it come to you?” His reply spoke volumes: “If I start.” In this latest episode of the DEUCE Racing Podcast, TJ brilliantly speaks about the entire spectrum – light and dark included – of life as an artist, as well as the importance of simply staying in motion – with whatever it is you do in life. Oh, and by the way(!)… Since releasing this podcast, TJ’s latest album, “The Death of Zossima”, has made the Official Ballot for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song (“THE CURE”), Best New Artist, and Best Engineered Album for this year’s Grammy Awards by The Recording Academy! Go on, get those headphones out and sit back for a real treat of an episode.

   Episode 14: Sarah Williams

   Captain Planet is a woman, and her name is Sarah Williams. Sarah, our newest Breath & Exposure coach, is an incredible individual who has completed some extraordinary adventures, including... Hiked the entire John Muir Trail, a 220 mile solo hike from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney. Gone 6 days with no food or light in an underground cave for a reality show. Trekked across the entire country of New Zealand, north to south, a 5 month journey, with just a small backpack. Summitted the tallest mountain on the continent, Denali, in 21 days. Sarah has completed various other trips in multi-day backpacking, rock climbing, mountaineering, canyoneering, and freediving, and is a professional photographer. She believes that our connection to nature is vital, and sets out to capture the ways in which we can discover and strengthen that relationship; focusing on outdoor activities, exploring, and general storytelling. Sarah aims to empower the rising generation through example and documentation to use the strength of their bodies and creativity out of their minds to experience more parts of nature. We are so fortunate to have her with us as a Breath & Exposure Coach at DEUCE! Inviting you all to tune in, like, subscribe, and share!

   Episode 13: Darryl Stingley

   From a young age, Darryl Stingley saw comic books, cartoons and superheroes, and was inspired to do what they do. Fast forward to today, and Darryl "Wavy" Stingley is one of the greatest parkour athletes in the world. Not only has he transcended the sport as an athlete, but also, as a teacher, thanks to his one-of-a-kind skillset, body of experience, infectious passion, and commitment to development that is ever-evolving. Oh, and did we mention? He'll be at DEUCE Gym THIS SATURDAY, September 25, to deliver the first of its kind Parkour Seminar. If you've ever wondered what parkour is, how to do it - particularly, the skills necessary for development and how to do them - or if you're "fit" enough to do parkour (spoiler: parkour is for everyone), Darryl is quite literally the human being you want teaching you! Inviting you all to tune into this special episode of the DEUCE Racing Podcast with the man who has curated a profound ability to distill the complexity of parkour into simple terms and application. Admiration of mastery is one thing, but the opportunity to be guided toward pursuing it yourself - and in an accessible way - is next-level humanitarianism. Enjoy this conversation and we'll see you Saturday... To connect with Darryl, check out https://www.4thasqvad.com/thasqvad and on Instagram @iamwavezilla

   Episode 12: Logan Gelbrich

   DEUCE Family, it is my absolute honor to share with you the latest episode of the DEUCE Racing podcast, featuring our exceptional founder & extraordinary all-around human being, Logan Gelbrich. This episode dives deep into a number of rich topics, including Logan’s core values and how they have shaped his life, how DEUCE has remained the same and how it has changed over the past 10 years, and how DEUCE’s model for developing coaches transpired and has evolved. Logan also vulnerably shares how “strengths aren’t just strengths,” including his experience learning to navigate the shadows that they cast. I’d say I hope that you enjoy this episode, but the truth is, I already know you’ll be moved by it. I met Logan 3.5 years ago and believe me when I tell you that I will forever remember – like the back of my hand – how kind, patient, and open-minded he was. Look, there are no shortage of inspiring people out there, but Logan is the rare type of person that helps you not just believe, but take action, towards pursuing your best life. As always, cheers to vulnerably going for it. Inviting you to listen, like, and share with others! Attachments area

   Episode 11: Baylor Baugh

   “I would rather try something than say ‘What if?’” Baylor Baugh, a midday regular, moved to LA from Tennessee three years ago and has been a part of DEUCE’s community for about a year now. By trade, Baylor works in business management and is a VP of Copyright Administration. But by heart, Baylor is and has always been devoted to music. In this week’s episode, we talk about all the ups and downs of Baylor’s journey towards actualizing her dream – to become a country singer. And, surprise(!) Baylor is soon releasing her first-ever single, Little Things! This conversation is sure to encourage you to reflect on your own dreams, especially the ones you had as a little kid, as well as inspire you – to exercise a deeper appreciation for all the little things in your life.

    Episode 10: Nyesha Arrington

    And just like that, the DEUCE Racing Podcast is in the double digits for episodes! On this week’s episode, you’ll get to meet the one-of-a-kind, exceptionally humble and nurturing, Nyesha Arrington. Not only does Nyesha have a special story about finding her greatest passion, cooking, at an incredibly young age, she also has a particularly special gift for storytelling. Throughout this episode, you’re guaranteed to find yourself drifting off into a warm space of appreciation and admiration for everything that Nyesha talks about. But equally so, you’ll experience how listening to her so clearly describe her passion – and staying true to it despite numerous obstacles along the way – can will lend itself to rich, nourishing reflection for you to consider regarding your own passions. For Nyesha, everything can be distilled to its nucleus; the act of finding the common denominator. The one that unites a singular thing to a far more expansive, collective, connected world. Nyesha, forever a student, is fiercely committed to a growth mindset, and believes intellectual birth should commence at birth, and really only cease at the end of life. All this goes without saying, the work she does and the grace in which she does it is astonishing. Folks, there’s simply nothing else I can say other than this: you’re gonna glow after listening to this episode!

    Episode 9: Matt Fitzpatrick

    Episode 9 of the DEUCE Racing Podcast, with our very own Matt Fitzpatrick, is here! Matt, who received an MA in Curriculum & Instruction at CSUDH in May 2020, currently teaches high school science (Health, Physiology, and Biology), and is the co-lead within the Health Careers Academy, as well as advisor for the newly created Gay-Straight Alliance. Last year he supported students in their efforts to run the LA Marathon! Part of what makes Matt's current role and impact as an educator so compelling is his diverse background -- in fields completely separate from teaching! As he transitions into a profession in LA, a city he is proud to have grown up in, Matt is eager to meet and learn from others who are cultivating an inquiry-based, social justice centered, culturally-responsive, tech-supported, and inclusive learning environment. He aims to “queer” science education, create an environment where students find affirmation in who they are, and know that despite feeling uncertain or certain about the future… that love, curiosity, and the ability to adapt can help each of us live as our most authentic self. As always, we invite you to tune in, like, subscribe, and share with all your family & friends! BONUS: for those of you interested in listening to Matt's famous Spotify Playlists...

    Episode 8: Emily Hacker

    Did you know? Fewer than 4% of airline pilots are women. And, one of them is our very own Emily Hacker. In this episode of the DEUCE Racing podcast, meet Hacker! An LA native and student of DEUCE for several years, who not only flies, but jumps out of airplanes, too – she’s got 498 sky dives! Hacker is a true Renaissance woman who attributes a growth mindset to helping expand and enrich her life. How she approaches training, and really, most things in life, comes from a place of wonder. Rather than getting fixated on the outcome of things – particularly things she’s never tried before – she tends to frame life experience from this line of thought instead, “Hmm. I wonder if…” Looking for inspiration to try something new without letting the fear of failure stop you? This episode is for YOU. Inviting you to tune into this episode and like, subscribe, and share with friends & family, as always! As Hacker puts it, “You have to give yourself the permission and allowance to be a beginner.” Cheers to infinite growth, and highlighting another exceptional human being in the DEUCE Community! Also, Emily has her own podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/1BQzjqyly5gUeumMs6BWvO?si=p41e5-QoRKe2QAm16uE6LA&dl_branch=1)!

    Episode 7: Derek Walker

    Chef, restaurant owner, 10-year Program Director & Instructor of The Culinary Training Program at St. Joseph's Center (https://stjosephctr.org/culinary-training-program/) - a remarkable non-profit right down the street from DEUCE Gym in Venice, Ironman triathlete, Chopped (https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/chopped) winner, (folks... the list goes on!) student of DEUCE since 2014, and forever a student life, LA native Derek Walker lives a fascinating, richly diverse and decorated, constantly evolving life. Short and sweet, here's what makes this conversation with Derek exceptional: the juxtaposition in perspective from an individual who has been and continues to be deeply committed to embracing opportunity (and all the obstacles that come with it) throughout his entire life, as well as open-minded enough during the darkest depths of any meaningful pursuit to step back and honor taking a break from passion when needed. Very much a "yes" man to maximizing all that life has to offer, Derek looks at any challenge with this approach: "I don't look at it as a burden. I look at it as an opportunity." This is kind of the conversation you'll listen to and walk away reminded that anything is possible! As always, we invite you to tune in HERE (https://open.spotify.com/show/56hwLE8lxajXnYINyPa1V0?si=ILPQeI4FTveV779GJ_xWog&dl_branch=1), like, subscribe, and share with everyone you know.

    Episode 6: Ben Smith

    We love Ben Smith. Not only is Ben a beloved GPP Coach at both DEUCE Gym in Venice and DEUCE Backlot in Hollywood, he’s also the Head Coach of three DEUCE Specialty courses – Nutrition, DELTA BRAVO, and Bodybuilding. And while you might already know a bit about Ben’s background (https://youtu.be/FbpuTERMMps) in the military, or how he came to find DEUCE, you’ve likely never heard him tell the story about sending DEUCE Founder, Logan Gelbrich, a DM from a porta potty somewhere in Germany... or how (and why) he came to learn about strength & conditioning… or heard him speak about embodiment, and how a greater understanding of somatic processing has contributed to a richer, much more expansive perspective on things like commitment & manifestation. Ben Smith doesn’t just get the job done with everything that he does, he unequivocally lives it. And, in the way he understands that strength & conditioning training can grow one’s capacity, Ben applies that same mentality to growing his capacity in all other expressions of life. As Ben puts it, while being successful in one field doesn’t guarantee success elsewhere, it does teach you that you can do hard things, and stay in it – regardless of what the outcome is. In this way, “Success is a function of consistency.” On this week’s DEUCE Racing Podcast episode, I’m beyond excited to share with all of you a conversation that will surely inspire! You know the drill by now… tune in HERE (https://open.spotify.com/show/56hwLE8lxajXnYINyPa1V0?si=7UVkNdVkQpuwcZtXxJs_Qw), like, subscribe, write a review, and please share!

    Episode 5: Campbell Lillard

    We have a saying at DEUCE, "Killers Only." Make no mistake, the connotation behind that saying is positive, in reference to the self-propelled drive of a living organism to proactively act upon life, as opposed to passively or reactively succumbing to it; behaving with the independence & conviction of a predator, not prey. It is with incredible excitement and honor that I invite you to tune into my conversation with Campbell Lillard on this week's episode of the DEUCE Racing podcast! Campbell exemplifies an evolving, proactive way of living to an awe-inspiring, exponential degree, and, coupled with his relentless growth mindset, has both experienced and created radical transformation in a very short period of time. Through Campbell's work coaching at DEUCE Garage in Venice, with The Phoenix (https://thephoenix.org/), with Homeboy Industries (https://homeboyindustries.org/), and now in bringing to life the first ever DEUCE nonprofit, there's a 100% chance you'll finish listening this conversation bursting with Campbell's infectious energy to be & do better in your own life. Right now, today, and every day forward..

    Episode 4: Chessa Latiffi Donaldson

    “I don’t know how to like anything, I only know how to love things.” Let's start here: we don't call her "Mayor of the Morning" for nothing... In this week's episode, we feature a DEUCE legend, Chessa Latiffi Donaldson! She's been a student at DEUCE for five years, is a mother of two, and has an extensive background in non-profit work. She is also the epitome of a champion to our DEUCE community - fiercely committed & consistent to training, as well as exceptionally generous in making sure those around her feel seen and celebrated for their efforts, always. A few fun facts about Chessa - she PR'd her 2k row while pregnant with her second child, got her first (and second!) bar muscle up during the CrossFit Open earlier this year, and has a knack for name-dropping our beloved Tim Brown better than anyone else out there. (We love you, Tim.) She's also the ring leader of CPFC (CarPort Fitness Club!), a training group - no, family! - that evolved in 2020 during quarantine when the gym was closed due to COVID; an impressive testament to the power of a non-negotiable dedication to training, paired with community. It's impossible to listen to Chessa speak and not feel inspired. Enjoy.

Jun takes us back to how he found DEUCE, met and became best friends with our beloved Salty Boy, Taylor Gelbrich, and how his training has evolved over the years. As always, thanks for listening.
