High school drop outs, my brother and I charted our own course for success in one of the most backwards ways possible.
Becoming self taught professional fighters.
From a half matted basement in my house to a 10,000 square foot church like facility. We have chosen the path of most resistance, and been offered a perspective of the highest rewards.
Erik and Keoni sit down to discuss the recent United States withdrawal and the victims left in the wake of 20 years of American occupation and subsequent withdrawal.
This episode is dedicated to those who gave their lives fighting for liberty in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the 13 soldiers who lost their lives shortly after this podcast was recorded and American servicemen and friend Alex Grafft.
May they rest peacefully with the knowledge that we will defend their sacrifice until the end.

Mind Raid Episode 12 Aliens CONFIRMED
Erik and Keoni discuss the most recent news.
Government officials silently releasing data that they have objects made on different planets. Why don't the headlines read "Aliens CONFIRMED!" Why would the most important discovery in human history be announced in such an obscure way?
In the time when nearly every story is saturated in sensationalism it strikes us as odd people are not more concerned with the implications that the government admitted aliens.......and no one noticed.

Mind Raid Episode 13 Paranormal Inactivity
Ghosts. It's easy believe in them when we are so universally afraid of our own mortality. The great end. It couldn't be the end right?
Why do the phantasms that defy our understanding still insist on being seen in original clothing? Would an aparition get locked into a perpetual "Style" of clothing from the big guy upstairs?
We are talking ghosts people. We talk about a previous celebrity ghost hunting experience, general thoughts on the spirit realm and finally offer an option challenge....
If you think you can break us put us in the scariest place you can imagine. We will spend a night in there to show you "We aint afraid of no ghosts..." We will even make a podcast to record our experience. Our aim is to either be made believers or banish the idea once and for all .
You pay for travel and snacks.

Mind Raid Episode 8 Quarantined Ideas
Keoni and Erik Koch discuss an alternative perspective to the recent crisis / pandemic. Is the media response to COVID - 19 appropriate? Does the fear that comes from sensationalism lead to greater danger to life on earth than the virus itself?
Discussing perspectives that are likely controversial, we await your judgement. We also happily await the throngs of twitter experts that will pick apart details or facts without actually addressing any of our concerns.
These ideas in mind please be safe, do your part and control the spread of this and any potentially dangerous virus by keeping clean, keeping healthy and exercising good decision making.
This is an opportunity to focus on family, fitness and self education. A hidden chance to step forward instead of falling behind. The world will need unity now more than ever.

Mind Raid Episode 7 The Ox Strikes Back
Jesse Lennox comes prepared for battle and sounds a horn of forewarning before drilling deep. What also happens is I wander off a few times. Ill admit it, I am a sucker for wandering conversations and improper grammar.
I find conversations more genuine when the interviewer is well prepared and the interviewee completely under prepared. This was the case and I had a delightful time.
Coming up next? Erik and I potentially at our most shameful lows. One trash talk podcast to rule them all. Because I am almost 40, and we are up above it.
