In this first episode of The University of Badassery Podcast, C. J. and Mac have a high-energy, motivating, brain-punching discussion with Dr. Trevor Bachmeyer, owner of Smashwerx, a world renowned rehab system, and a powerful social media influencer who dispenses daily content to hundreds of thousands.
Douche Zone
What’s the Douche Zone? Well, it’s basically a push for etiquette in a world where decency is in decline and rudeness, sloppiness, laziness, and inconsideration are on the rise. Do we have a responsibility to speak out? What about bullying? C. J. and Mac tackle these topics in this episode!
Metal Zone
Of course, we HAVE to talk about THE METAL! As Mac says, “Metal isn’t for everybody. You have to be cool first,” but because of the influence of C. J. and Mac (and their previous podcast, “Metal Excellence”), more and more people are being turned on to heavy metal and loving it! C. J. and Mac break this down.
Sentinel Segment
The Sentinel Segment is all about one thing: protecting you and your loved ones in an unpredictable world. These segments are taken from Mac’s book Sentinel: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Protection Detail. With Mac’s extensive background and knowledge of living and working in the world’s most dangerous places—along with his years spent in the Army’s most elite counterterrorism unit—he brings effective, simple tips about how to stay safe and prepared. In this episode, Mac discusses hurricane, or disaster, preparation.
