What happens when you mix martial arts, a little peer pressure, and three people who should definitely not be sparring at work?

You get a wild, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful podcast episode on self-defense, teamwork, and knowing your limits.

Jimmy is sharing stories from his many many years of martial arts training... from the moves he’s mastered to the injuries he’s racked up along the way (including one unfortunate groin incident that’s hard to forget). Then Megan and Miguel share what it felt like to step into their very first kickboxing class and how a few simple tips made them feel stronger, safer, and more prepared to handle themselves in the real world.

But don't get us wrong, this episode isn’t about how to win a fight... it’s about how to avoid one, how protect yourself, and how to get the confidence to maybe throw an elbow or two if it comes to that. Whether you’ve got martial arts experience or even if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym, you’ll come finish out this episode with a new appreciation for confidence, distance, and the power of staying calm under pressure.

From Yosemite run-ins with the highway patrol to six-foot flames caused by DIY fire starters, this episode covers the real-life risks of venturing into nature and how to prep like a pro... even if you’re just going for “a quick hike.”

Jimmy and Megan talk trail safety, packing tips, camping fails, and how to purify water with everything from iodine tablets to French-press-style filters.

Whether you’re heading into the backcountry or just camping with the kids, we’ve got you covered with gear, guidance, and cautionary tales to help you stay safe outdoors.

Most people don’t realize how fast someone can bleed out... or how easy it is to stop it (if you know what to do). In this episode, Jimmy and Megan are joined by Miguel for a deep dive into one of the most practical, life-saving skills out there: stopping the bleed.

But don’t expect a boring first aid lecture. We’re talking real talk: how white clothes can trick you, what soaking through a winter jacket really means, and why you should never trust a belt to save a life. You’ll learn how to tell if bleeding is life-threatening, the big mistake people make when they underestimate a “little” wound, and the three tools every responder should know how to use... tune in to find out!

And just wait until you hear what one student did to test how much a pint really is (useless hint: it involved teriyaki sauce and a laptop).

Whether you’ve had Stop the Bleed training or are just curious what all the fuss is about, this episode is packed with street-smart safety tips, hands-on advice, and the kind of stories you’ll definitely want to share at your next team meeting.
