Def Reset 2025, this is a public service announcement. You know what that is? Yeah, of if you put the, you know, the emergency broadcast system that used to go when there was a rainstorm or something? Or in Hawaii, maybe you had a tsunami coming. First of every month is a test, by the way, in Hawaii, on Kauai anyway. Okay. Yeah, you get the, yeah. Yeah, sure.

So I was thinking maybe lead this thing off with that. So if you decide to do that in post. Right. Understood. But hey, here's what's going on. You know, we have the New Year coming. And in the new year, we're gonna get stronger, we're gonna get smarter, we're gonna get faster,

we need healthier, and we're gonna get better. Listen, you ever, you work out solo at this time. Yes, sir. At what junction in your life, like when you were working with Squatty, Squatty Lewis, the ledge, you were at workout partners, right? Yep, 100%. I had a workout partner for two straight platoons. Mm-hmm.

And same thing, like it was just, Good to go. Oh, yeah. So it's good to have someone that you're going to work out with. And it's good to have someone if you're going to try and get better, someone to do it with. So that's what we're doing. We're doing this thing. It's called the Def Reset.

Discipline equals freedom reset. A little protocol to get back on your life. And here's the thing. Listen, you get off track. You ever go in the open ocean on a boat? Boat, sure. On a paddle board? Paddle board.

Have you ever been so far? far out there you can't see the land anymore no okay okay you can drift off course yeah right and you have to wait till you get something unless you have GPS we eventually got GPS but you can drift off course you don't want to drift off course so you need to shoot a resection um shoot some some terrain features so you know where you are otherwise you could drift off path and so this is a little protocol that we do deaf reset to get us back on path and it's a it's kind of cool it's a little team we have a good team we put together for it so some of the things we're working on we want to get smarter so we have echelon front we we do we put together some leadership courses classes

to learn and think about uh we have train hard which is jason calipa's company and jason cleopha he's kind of got a lot of things going on because he's he won crossfit games yeah but he's also He's a brown belch in jujitsu. He's doing the tactical games right now shooting. He's shooting bow and arrow. He's doing everything. But one of his main focuses is working out. So he's put together a bunch of guided workouts.

And then Jock Fuel, we got that going on as well. So like the three of us companies together. And by the way, it's just a free thing. Free guided workouts from Jason Kleepa. We got Ashley, Ashley Freeman from Jocco Fuel. She's giving out like nutritional guidance because she was, she's like a master of science in health and human physiology

and she works at Jocco Fuel but she's you know advising how to eat clean and she's squared away she's awesome so that's what we got going on and then like I said Ashland Front so we put all this stuff

into an app and the app you'll have access to this to these courses to these classes and everything and then you'll be able to track your daily discipline which is sort of the, that's the crux. So eight daily habits of discipline, and there's kind of nine.

I have nine, and I want you to have nine. I want all of us to have nine. But we only, we have eight, I'll tell you about out of the gate. Then I'll give you the ninth. So the eight are pretty straightforward. Up before the enemy, so you're going to get up early.

People say how early do you have to get up? Get up early enough in the morning so that you can do some, kind of physical activity in the morning. Now listen, if you're a person that lifts and that's your main jam and you like to lift and it's your preferred life is to lift at night or in the afternoon, that doesn't mean you have to switch your workout program. But you need to get up early enough that you can do, you know, a 20 minutes worth of stretching

or you can do a 20 minutes worth of cardio or you can do something, you know, Sam I'm saying. So you're going to get up early enough. If every day you get up at 7 o'clock in the morning and you're doing deaf reset, but you're a lifter and you lift every night after dinner. That's your thing. That's when you feel strongest. You lift at 8 o'clock and night. You don't need to change that.

You do need to get up, what, half an hour early so you can do 20 minutes of stretching, cardio, something. Mobility, dexterity, something. So you're going to get up early. You are going to then get after it. Whatever that physical thing you're going to do, you're going to do it. You're going to do it every day.

That's number two. So it's up early, get after it, PT. The third one is prioritized next year. What does this mean? This means you're going to write down what you're supposed to do in the day. So before you go to bed at night, you're going to write down what you're supposed to do tomorrow.

And then you're going to do those things. You're going to check the boxes. I was a box checker. It was a big time when I was in the Zool teams. I still do it, but not. as much yeah man I was a box checker if I put a box in front of something I was like an a OCD to go and do it so I could check the box it's very helpful um thing because it's kind of like it's kind of like a version of gamification a little bit fully yeah fully what if you get

dopamine from checking a box I feel dopamine by checking the box or what you know the whole box being in front of you and yeah you check one you want it for go let me get that next one yeah yeah fully we like it's very effective so that's what we're We're gonna do right down what you're supposed to do. That's the number three prioritizing next year. Number four, hydrate or die. So we're drinking water. How much water?

Look, different people have to drink different amounts of water. There's ways you can tell if you're drinking enough. But here's the thing, we tend not to drink enough water. That's just a tendency that humans have. So we're gonna drink water, drink it before the meals, right? Drink it as needed throughout the day. There's some guidelines out there. Some one guideline that was half your body weight in pounds,

ounces of water. So if you weigh 200 pounds, you're going to drink 100 ounces of water a day. I saw some things that said that was low, but it also depends on your activity. So you're going to figure out what hydrated means to you and you're going to do it. And then the next two are pretty straightforward. Clean fuel. You're going to get clean fuel. You know, you're going to eat this stuff that's on the perimeter of the grocery store. Yeah. Right. The perimeter of the grocery store stuff that comes in uh its own package like an orange yeah it's own natural it's own natural package or that has an ingredient list of one word yeah beef chicken fish fish broccoli like that's what we're doing and of you might eat some supplementation we got you handled on the supplementation for clean

fuel and then of course no sugar-coded lies so you're not going to for this time period you're not going to poison your freaking body with junk for 30 days you're not going to put any poison into your body no donuts no freaking uh uh pretzel wrapped hot dogs you no just good stuff so now we get to number seven which is back to the book so you're going to read right every day you're going to read and right every day. Very similar to going to the gym. How much progress do you see after one day in the gym? How about three days in the gym? You got a little pump, I think. You got a little pump, but you're not seeing the visual progress that you dreamed of. Correct. It takes time. And it's the same thing with reading and writing. You want to get smarter. You want to get more articulate. You're not

going to see a difference overnight because you read for 20 minutes yesterday. But if you read for 20 minutes for 30 straight days, you're going to learn some words. You're going to learn, and if you're writing, you're going to learn how to articulate yourself better. You're going to get smarter. So that's number seven. Number eight is you're going to remember. And that is you're going to take some time.

This is also a good thing to write about. Hey, you are going to show gratitude and thanks for those that sacrificed so we can do what we get to do. And you're going to be thankful that you're able to do what we get to do. So those are the eight. The ninth habit, you know what it is? You know what it is. I probably won't be surprised at you. Yeah, the ninth habit, the bonus habit.

The thing that I honestly, this is such a good thing. It really is. It is burpees and it's either 10 minutes of burpees or 100 burpees, whichever comes first. Okay. Yeah. So if you can only do whatever, 42 burpees in 10 minutes, cool. You got them done. If you, if you can do 100 burpees in form.

minutes and 38 seconds, you're done. That hurts, by the way. Yes, sir. That kind of, you push number. So you will, here's a cool thing. This is the last time I did this, uh, death reset and I did 100 burpees for 30 days or 31 days or whatever. I, what I noticed was I really truly got better at just shutting off my mind and just doing

them. Yeah. Like by the end, I was just like, but I wasn't even thinking about him. It didn't even matter to me. I was still doing burpees. Like it didn't, I might as well have been taking a drink of water. Yeah. I was just, okay.

It's time to do the burpees. So you can learn. to cope and push through and not even think about turn your mind off but I think it's a a good protocol for life and you will you'll definitely get better here's the thing don't one of the things about like a new year's resolution you hear people we'll just start today I say that we start today why are you waiting till the new year let me give you a little hint the burpees start now like like get started and that way you're ready for it when you start doing it and

And here's the other thing. You know, when we, in the military, when we go on a mission, we don't just go on the mission, we come up with a plan for the mission. And that's what we're doing here. Planning and preparation. So planning and preparation,

if you're listening to this right now, we got the deaf reset coming. Here's some things to think about. Start getting the junk food out of the house, right? Get rid of the donuts. Get rid of the chocolate chip cookies. Chips a hoy, get them out. Remember James?

Which James? James Nielsen. Yeah, no. Jiu-Jitsu James. He would be, he would just come into training. And dude, he's a savage. He was, he's a really good black belt. And he has a weirdest, he's got one of the weirdest games in Jiu-Jitsu.

He would, he would prefer for you to be a cross-side on top because that's where he had like some weird sweep from or some, you know what I mean? He's just one of those guys who has a weird game. But I remember he would come in and he would, he would, he would. He would be like, oh, yeah, moving a little slow day. I'm like, oh, why are you good? He's like, oh, I just ate a sleeve of Oreos. Like a whole sleeve of Oreos.

That's real. Yeah. So get those things out of your house. I would advise not by eating them. Yes, not by eating them. You know, I had that thing where I had my freezer broke down in my house. And so we moved the stuff and I had an RV. And so I moved the stuff to the RV for a little while, the stuff that was frozen.

And then a couple, you know, fix the fridge. Now everything's fine, and we brought the food back down, but we left the freezer stuff up there, so the ice cream was in the RV. It's literally like 50 feet out my back door. And I was like, oh, I want some ice cream, but I'm not gonna go out there and get it. So all I needed was just a little bit of resistance

and I didn't get the ice cream. Yeah. So that's what we're doing. We're gonna get this stuff out of your house, so you're not gonna be, you won't even have it available. It's just going to make it so much better and easier. Get some books to read, right? Get a notebook or a planner so you can write down the things that you need to write down

what you're going to do tomorrow. We have that execute, execute, execute thing at our shalom front, which is pretty awesome. That little planner, which is fired up. Get your workout gear ready, right? You know, get some dumbbells. The workouts that Jason puts together, they're very basic. You don't need a ton of equipment. But, you know, get yourself a dumbbellbell.

Get yourself a sandbag or something. hopefully get a pull-up bar or some rings or something, right? Yeah. Get some chalk. Do you chalk? Yes. Love it. Dude.

I went through a little phase. I was in Germany and I just went through this phase where I was like, chalk is weak and I'm not going to use it anymore. It was terrible. I hated it. Because I thought my grip will be stronger if I don't use chalk because it's so much harder to hang on to things. It might be true. But it really did negatively. like the amount that you could do for the rest of your muscles.

Yeah. So like your, my forearms would be smoked after a pull-up workout. But like my back the next day, I'd be like it didn't really feel like I worked out as hard as I normally would. Yeah, for you, uh, throwing the baby out with a bath while.

Yeah, exactly. So then I, I, I, one of my, actually the same workout partner that I just talked about that I had for like two. So two deployments, that's like,

that's almost four years of working out together. You know what I mean? It's a long time. Yeah. But I had, I was, in Germany, I went to go see him because he was in Germany. And we like did a workout and he broke out his chalk.

I was like, I don't use that anymore. And I was like, it's a week. You're addicted to it. I was like talking to all this smack to him. But get your chalk ready because I don't recommend it. I recommend you get chalk. And I recommend if you work out a gym that if you work out at a gym that doesn't allow you to have chalk, there's a problem. I don't like that gym.

Also, I know it's a thing. I know there's a lot of gyms like that. But there's another product. that's in replacement. It's like it's not chalk, but it does it. I forget what it's called. It's called like chalkless.

I don't know. Have you tried it? No, but I hear good things. But no. I like that whole chalk experience. So I recommend. I do too.

So get your chalk ready. Get your pull-up bar mounted. Get some workouts in. So, you know, start doing some burpees. So it's not attacked your system. Get the app. Your brother made the app.

Yes, sir. It's a good app. It's a good app. It's, It's fired up. There's a new feature too, by the way. Yeah. That I came up with or yeah, I guess I did can't come out with it.

But I'm not going to tell you about it. Dude. Wait, do you know about the feature? Yes. Okay. But tell everyone else. It's like the Jocko announcement, like kind of what do you go? I forget the word I used.

But anyway, yeah, it's like you'll broadcast like a task. The word. Yeah, yeah, put out the word. That's what it was. Yep, exactly. I put it out word where you got to just do something. In the hopes that the whole reason was that, you know, a lot of us like, bro, we're sitting down all day

and we get caught up in our work, or in our work, you know, or whatever we have to do. That's a good thing. You know, you're focusing on what you need to focus on, but sometimes physically it can be a problem like you're sitting around for too long. There's a whole thing I can go into about that. I'm not going to, but it could. So it does help to stand up every once in a while,

get the blood moving stretch, do some jumping jacks and burpees, whatever, you know, just for a little bit. I don't know, five, ten minutes. That's it. Go back to work. Bro, you don't even need five, ten minutes to be honest with you. Yeah, yeah. Did I tell you got little dumbbells for my office?

No, no, no. Yeah, I just got a, I got a set of 25 pound dumbbells. And I'm just like, I'll be in my office and I'll just like do curls. Yeah, yeah. Or I'll do. You know what's really good to do is a thrusters. Just do like five thrusters, 10 thrusters. Yeah.

That's so good. Yes, it is. It's so good. And yes. So there might be some tasks. Yeah. Coming out. So, yeah, if you can do it like live where,

if you sign up for this feature, if you activate this feature, like you'll get a word directly from Jaco. Hey, this is what we're doing right now. You kind of got to do it. And then you got to mark whether you did it, didn't do it, or ignored the order. So either way, you sign up, if you recommend or if you sign up for this feature, activate this feature. I'm thinking it doesn't cost nothing. But if you activate it, you're kind of in. Because if you're like, oh, it comes up, oh, I can't do it. It'll say, oh, yeah, you ignored the order. Ignored the order. Or you got to say no, I didn't do it.

Then you have the report. Are they going to let these reports go back to you so you know who did and didn't do it? Well, obviously, I keep track of everything that happens. But at the end of the day, it's just to help. That's why the drones have been flying around the country. We're checking things out. No, it's going to be fun. So get the app.
