Summary

In Episode 251, I sit down with Brendan Weed—a brother I met back in 2017 when we were both going through the Washington State Police Academy. We connected instantly, both coming from military backgrounds, having completed Ranger School, deployed to combat zones, and showing up to the academy physically and mentally dialed in.

After graduation, Brendan went on to serve as a Sheriff’s Deputy for eight years. But over time, a series of injuries and a shift in perspective began to wear on him, eventually leading to a loss of passion for the profession. In this conversation, we unpack that transition—what led him to step away from law enforcement and how he found the courage to start his own business.

Today, Brendan talks about living in what he calls "universal alignment"—where his goals and dreams have begun to manifest rapidly since becoming intentional about his life’s direction. This was a powerful and meaningful episode, and I really enjoyed reconnecting with Brendan.

0:00.0	What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Endless Endeavor podcast. This is going to be episode
0:03.8	251. Guys, you can hear some music in the background, probably hear people getting thrown. That is
0:08.8	because jujitsu practice is happening. Jiu-Jitsu is what we do here. That is real life. And so that is what
0:13.8	it is. We have a couple ads to knock out and we will start the show momentarily. Do me a favor, guys. Listen to the ads. Please don't fast forward through them like
0:21.5	everybody else does. I only partner with good companies ran by cool people that offer a good
0:26.6	product. And by supporting those brands, that is how all this works. So let's go ahead and hop
0:31.6	right into it. We're first brought to my Moya brand. And Moya brand is a Jiu-Jitsu

0:38.1	2015. They put out a phenomenal product. Their geese are rugged, stylish, comfortable. Most
0:43.7	importantly, they are consistent. I wear an A2L. When I order an A2L from Moia, it shows up if it's
0:49.6	like a fucking glove, just like every other A2L. and that is what I love about this company more than
0:55.3	anything. Most key companies lack consistency, and it drives you nuts. One time you order an A2L
1:01.3	and the sleeves go all the way to your elbows, and the next time they're past your fingertips,
1:05.4	and it's like, who the fuck is doing quality control? You will not have that issue with Moia.
1:09.8	I've been preaching Jiu-Jitsu on the End the endless endeavor since episode one. It will change your life. If you are not
1:15.7	training, I promise you that is the biggest thing you could do today to change the trajectory of your
1:21.2	life. And if you do that, you are going to need a ghee. So go ahead and check out Moia brand geese

1:34.5	by cured nutrition, CBD. And cured nutrition is the OG sponsorship of the endless endeavor.
1:40.0	They have been with us for a long time and that is because they put out a product that works,
