The Lonely Life of Leadership and Spirituality - Mind Over Matter #68

Another BANGER of an episode. I went on Steven's podcast "The Ascension Show" and we had an incredible convo (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0HFCVr5CSCm9vvwPCftsyi?si=GtIiN8lYSLSFsIZPQl_vmw) so it was only natural to get him on my pod and talk deeper. We talked about spirituality, religion, leadership, loneliness, losing friends, entrepreneurship and so much more. Steven shook me with his knowledge and awareness at age 21. I truly hope y'all enjoy! Steven's Website: https://hoo.be/pen...

God and Gratitude - Mind Over Matter #64

I met Vegas through an X post on suicide. He shared his story there a bit and I felt the need to ask him to come on the pod. He accepted and I couldn't be more grateful. This was one of my favorite episodes to record. It felt as if everything we talked about could help somebody. Enjoy

Finding Balance, Hope, And Love - Mind Over Matter #63

This episode blew my mind. Typically we have on a random guest and hope we connect well. This was one of those times we connected extremely well. Rob came on the show and for the first time... I recognized someone's smile. I see many similarities between Rob and I, from depression and addiction, all the way to the other side called LOVE. Thanks for coming on the show Rob, you're forever welcome back. -Trevor Hononguard Coffee Co - https://honorguardcoffee.com/ Honorguard Instagram https://hono...

Facing Reality, Adapting to Your Environment, Owning a Business - Mind Over Matter #62

We had the honor of speaking with Vinnie this episode. I met Vinnie roughly a year ago and all I can say is this man spreads love. Constantly optimistic, while also struggling on his own, we dove into his business, adapting to what God wants, and facing reality. Thanks for coming on Vinnie! -Trevor Hononguard Coffee Co - https://honorguardcoffee.com/ Honorguard Instagram https://honorguardcoffee.grin.live/ Episode with the Owner of Honorguard Vinnie's X account

Military Medications Result In A Discharge - Mind Over Matter #54

Carlos spent some time in the military and ended up with a discharge due to sharing medication. To see the government treat him like a convict hurts us deeply because through this conversation you can tell he's a fantastic dude to have in your corner. He cared too much, no deed goes unpunished. Thanks for coming on Carlos, I look forward to your future.

Stop Getting Married! | 1SG Popp of Redonkulas Regiment Has Some Lessons - Mind Over Matter #48

If there's one thing we love, it's getting some lessons from older veterans. We were blessed enough to have retired 1SG Popp on to "spit some game", as we youngsters would say. As many of y'all know, we've had our ups and downs with marriage. We saw this constantly in the Army. We get deep into marriage and why it is a scam more often than not. We may not agree on everything, but we both learned a lot from Popp, and we hope you do too. Check out Popp's links below; as always, never quit, and sta...

Karlee Mertens | Battle with Mental Health and the Importance of Traveling - Mind Over Matter #47

Karlee ran into some trouble this past weekend when traveling, but luckily I got to help her out. Miami, I will not be back... With so many obstacles in our way, plans falling through, my car's engine taking a sh*t, and jumping from hotel to hotel trying to gameplan what's going on the next day, we figured we'd hop on a podcast and talk about how to get through some struggles. Resilience is key in this world and we just wanted to share some thoughts.

Eugene Williams | PTSD from Prison (Our First Life Saved) - Mind Over Matter #42

There's very little I could say that would do this episode justice. Eugene spent 18 years in the Florida State Prison System and his ability to talk about it all is impeccable. After serving that long for something that seemingly wasn't his fault, he still took responsibility for everything.

Karlee + Tommy | Understanding Biological Mental Health Deficiencies - Mind Over Matter #41

I’m not even sure what to say. First off, go join irrationaloptimists.io and meet the people there. Secondly, since this episode was recorded, Karlee has become a close friend of mine and we’ve continued our conversations over the phone. With each and every call I have with her, we dive deeper into our mental health state, which is EXACTLY what we all could use. Someone to relate with and talk to about the hardest topics. It’s hard and takes a while for it to get easier, but I've been feeling un...

Facing Adversity Through the Lens of the Army with Jay - Episode 27

Kevin and I both could not overexaggerate how much Jay has affected our lives since this recording. This took place about two weeks ago and ever since then Jay has been hopping into our Discord just to shoot the shit, making me realize Kevin and I do not do it nearly as much as we should. It can get a little dull staring at this computer screen for hours a day, but having Jay pop in and out of our discord makes it a lot more exciting. Thanks for giving us your mind and time Jay! We look forward ...

Why Homeschooling is the new wave and what Brandon decides to do about it - Mind Over Matter #26

Back again with another episode with Brandon. Kevin and I both have used Brandon as a glimpse of what fatherhood looks like. We wanted to bring him on the show to talk a little more in depth on how he has been parenting, what he has been doing and why, and a couple extra things including home schooling. With such a bright future ahead of us, it was hard for Kevin and I both to stray away from this great opportunity to talk a little more about what it's going to look like for us. Thank you again ...

Mind Over Matter #18 w/ Sam Cutrara - Having Faith during Low Times, Religion, Story of Sam's Injury

"This week, Sam Cutrara came on the show. I have known Sam personally since junior year of high school at Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor, Illinois. We were studying calculus together and I realized sam had a great goofy side to him. So we always kind of clicked off that, but then 2 years ago sam suffered an injury and I knew he was recovering within his house for quite some time. So, I wanted to tap into what it took for Sam to come out on top and now be training for the Chicago Mar...
