Summary

Be honest, how often do you say “no” to things you don’t want to do? 

We’re conditioned to sit in desks, be quiet, raise our hands and ask permission to go to the bathroom, and follow the rules. 

Do what you’re told and never stray from the herd. Get a job, bite your tongue, pay your taxes and behave.

But as the years chug along, saying “no” becomes a superpower. 

Try it now, it feels good. “NO.”

Joining us on the show is Bobby Maximus a former UFC fighter and Toronto police officer, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Ontario with a double major in Psychology and English. 

We’re chatting about:

  • The power of writing it down
  • The importance of saying “no”
  • Why we become too dependent on exercise equipment
  • How to manage your governor without blowing your knee
  • The problem with toxic masculinity on the internet
  • And tons more…
