🎙️ New Episode: The Secret to Manifesting Your Ideal Life: Mindset Shifts, Obsession & Brotherhood – with Michael Johnson
In this deeply raw and inspiring episode, I sit down with Michael Johnson — martial arts expert, mindset coach, and founder of Shockwave defence — to talk about what it really means to be a warrior in the modern world.
Michael shares his powerful life story, from surviving childhood trauma and betrayal to becoming a world-renowned self-defence instructor who has trained Special Forces, law enforcement, and top-tier professionals across the globe.
We dive into:
💥 How childhood trauma can forge strength — if you face it
🧠 The power of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how to reprogram your mind
⚔️ Why pain is your greatest teacher — and how surrender is a form of strength
🔥 Turning addiction into obsession and fuel for greatness
🌌 Why internal alignment is the key to living by design, not default
👊 The "inner war room" — how elite men are conquering weakness, building tribe, and mastering every area of life
🤝 Why every man needs a brotherhood to rise above isolation and self-doubt
Whether you’re dealing with heartbreak, addiction, lack of purpose, or just feeling stuck — this episode will challenge your thinking and give you practical tools to level up.
About Michael:
Michael Johnson, a multi-black belt martial artist, criminologist, and helicopter pilot, is a leader in tactical training for military, law enforcement, and executive teams worldwide. Serving as a deadly force instructor for Florida Corrections, his training reached over 19,000 officers.

Man is made in the image of God. He has a divine spirit breathed inside of him, and even science can see that 97% of what’s in stars is inside men. We’re literally the universe incarnate. Nothing is beyond us. We become what we believe, so reinforcing these beliefs in a powerful proximity is essential to achievement.
I lead a community of high achieving men who desire to be around like-minded individuals that execute on their purpose instead of talking about it. Being at the top can often be lonely, but being around a culture of excellence acts as fuel and expiration to those who want to step up to their next level.
