   EP 95 * JoJo Smoke Griffin * Don't let anyone break your spirit, the warrior mindset of winning

   Jojo “$moke” Griffin is a rising MMA star fighter who always finishes a fight and keeps a relentless training schedule with one goal: UFC. In this episode of Targeted with Atlas Aultman, Jojo SMOKE Griffin opens up about his journey from a small California town to becoming one of the most exciting MMA prospects to watch. He talks about training multiple times a day at Red Hawk Academy, preparing for his professional MMA debut, studying fighters when everyone else is relaxing, and developing the mindset required to step into a cage believing you cannot be broken. But this conversation goes much deeper than fighting. Jojo discusses his faith in God, growing up in a Catholic family, losing his opportunity to play college football during COVID, discovering MMA, and how his first loss inside the cage ultimately became one of the most important moments of his career. He also explains the psychology of fighting, entering a flow state, dealing with fear and negative thoughts, visualization, gratitude, sacrifice, film study, adapting during a fight, and why he believes the mind often quits before the body does. Jojo’s philosophy is simple: “Don’t let anyone break your spirit.” This is a conversation about MMA—but it’s also about what happens when a young man becomes completely committed to mastering his craft. In this episode: • Jojo “Smoke” Griffin’s MMA journey • Training with UFC fighters and shooting with Badger Asher • 100% finish rate • Preparing for his professional MMA debut • Training at Red Hawk Academy • The transition from football to MMA • How losing changed his mindset • Faith, God, risk, and opportunity • Training two to three times per day • Film study and gaining an advantage over opponents • Developing an MMA flow state • Mental preparation before entering the cage • Why gratitude is part of his training • Turning setbacks into fuel • His goal of reaching the UFC • Why “the scars make the man” • The mentality of becoming impossible to break Targeted is hosted by Atlas Aultman and features conversations about leadership, resilience, mindset, performance, adversity, and the people willing to do difficult things in pursuit of excellence.

   STRONGER MEN ARE HARDER TO KILL, Period. Not just physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually. In this episode of Targeted Podcast, Atlas Aultman breaks down what it takes for men to become stronger, better disciplined, more resilient, purposeful, and harder to break. Drawing from his experience in making warriors stronger for decades through innovation AND his conversations with UFC legends, professional athletes, military veterans, champions, bestselling authors, TEDx speakers, entrepreneurs, and men who have survived extraordinary adversity, Atlas explores the different dimensions of strength every man should be developing. This episode examines: • Physical strength, fitness, muscle, and longevity • Mental toughness and resilience • Discipline when motivation disappears • Forgiving yourself and moving beyond guilt • Overcoming trauma and adversity • Building confidence through difficult experiences • Faith, spirituality, and finding your compass • Purpose and direction for men • Raising your personal standards • Learning from champions and high performers • Becoming the man your younger self needed • Building a legacy your older self will respect Targeted Podcast was built around one central mission: helping people become stronger through the experiences of those who have already been tested. If you’re a man in your 20s or 30s trying to become stronger, more disciplined, more confident, more capable, and more intentional about your life, start here. You don’t need a military badge, championship ring, professional sports contract, bestselling book, or million-dollar company to develop strength. You need to put in the work. Your body matters. Your mind matters. Your faith and purpose matter. Your standards matter. And the decisions you make today determine the man you become tomorrow. Get strong. Aim for excellence. Stay on target.

   EP 93 * What war left behind, thinks by Grandfather didn't tell me openly

   This is one of the most personal episodes of Targeted Podcast I have ever recorded. For the first time on this show, I share stories from my grandfather, SFC Gary L. Frye, his service during the Vietnam War, his connection to the early Special Operations community, the 1st Cavalry, combat trauma, and experiences he carried with him for the rest of his life. Some of these stories were never openly discussed while he was alive. My grandfather served during an era when American forces were developing tactics, missions, and capabilities that would help shape generations of U.S. Special Operations. His experiences included helicopter warfare, unconventional missions in Vietnam, the loss of friends in combat, earning the Purple Heart, and living with the psychological consequences of war. His story also intersects with an era of Vietnam history many people recognize through the book We Were Soldiers Once... and Young and the 2002 film We Were Soldiers. This episode isn’t about glorifying war. It’s about what happens to the people who survive it. Years later, while I was deployed to Iraq, my grandfather reached out to me with a simple message: if I ever needed to talk about what I was experiencing, he might understand. Only after his death did I fully understand how much he had carried himself. This episode is about combat, family, PTSD, the warrior mindset, Special Operations history, and one lesson my grandfather left behind: Get it out of your head. If something is eating at you, talk to someone. Write it down. Put it in your phone. Tell someone you trust. Don’t allow the battle inside your mind to become one you fight completely alone. ⚠️ MENTAL HEALTH / SUICIDE PREVENTION If you are in the United States and are contemplating suicide, self-harm, or harming someone else, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. ***FILM & BOOK RECOGNITION / COPYRIGHT NOTICE*** This episode discusses and references historical events portrayed in the motion picture We Were Soldiers (2002) and documented in the book We Were Soldiers Once... and Young: Ia Drang—The Battle That Changed the War in Vietnam.
