25. (Ray Terry) How To Overcome Darkness + Build The Life Of Your Dreams (Punk Rock + Warped Tour, Included!)

In this episode, I sit with Ray (member of the band Kill The Fall - who just dropped their newest EP!) in Cleveland, OH, the morning after I taught a seminar at his gym. We discuss…

his journey through traveling the country in his van, playing punk rock as a starving artist,
the number 1 skill an aspiring athlete / artist / up and comer in any industry needs to develop,
how to overcome darkness from your childhood and upbringing, and create the life of your dreams,
some of the entitlement we see that kills folk’s careers,
the never-ending importance of building disciplined habits,
the similarities between jiu jitsu and music,
and how to ALWAYS keep moving forward.

Enjoy this deep, genuine, raw episode. It’s definitely on my favorites list, and I think it could end up on yours, too.

Don’t forget to share / review / subscribe / rate / comment / post, whatever works for you. 😆 It all means the world. 🤍

Thank you for being here. I’ll see y’all in the next episode.

Love, Kendall
