Be Great with Bruce Colero

In this episode, a professional climber breaks down the harsh realities of high-altitude mountaineering — and why the summit is only half the battle.He explains how climbing is often more mental than physical, with the brain’s survival instinct constantly urging you to turn back. At extreme altitude, thinking becomes distorted, energy disappears, and even simple decisions can become dangerous. Many climbers don’t fail on the way up — they fail on the way down.We dive into why the descent is where most accidents happen, how exhaustion and altitude sickness take over, and what really happens when the body and mind begin to shut down. From short, intentional breaks to forced eating, fixed ropes, Sherpa guidance, and the realities of rescue at extreme elevations, this conversation reveals what climbing demands — and what it takes away.This is an honest look at risk, discipline, fear, and survival in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.

This episode is a raw, no-bullshit look at what fighting really gives you — and what it takes from you.Bazooka Joe pulls back the curtain on the mental battles that start long before a fight ever begins: fear, self-doubt, and the lies you tell yourself just to step forward. He talks openly about confidence — how martial arts forges it, how it carries into business and life, and why it’s the single biggest advantage training gives you.He breaks down striking versus grappling with brutal honesty, explaining why he’s always preferred action, damage, and decisive finishes over stalling and control — and how that mentality shaped both his fighting style and his mindset outside the ring. The conversation moves into real-world violence, exposing how far fantasy martial arts are from actual street encounters, and why diversity in training is non-negotiable.Then the tone shifts. Bazooka Joe opens up about the hidden cost of combat sports: concussions, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, and the reality of winning a world title you can’t even enjoy. He doesn’t glorify it — he tells it straight. The physical toll. The financial truth. The recovery protocols fighters rely on just to function. And the moment every fighter eventually faces, when the body and mind say it’s time to walk away.This episode isn’t about hype or highlights.It’s about discipline, fear, confidence, consequence, and legacy.If you’ve ever trained, competed, or wanted to understand how martial arts hardens you for life — this conversation will hit home.Timestamps:00:00–1:00 – Intro2:15 – Why Bazooka Joe started martial arts4:30 – Transitioning into fighting6:00 – Transitioning from kicks to hands6:30 – Kids can’t learn good kicks anymore10:00 – Does Bazooka Joe miss “the fight”11:00 – Fighters are afraid too14:00 – What made Bazooka Joe so confident17:00 – Great Canadian fighters20:00 – Striking vs grappling23:00 – Why you need to be diverse in fighting24:45 – Bazooka Joe’s last street fight28:30 – Bringing a knife to a street fight31:00 – Showing unrealistic techniques32:45 – Joe’s final fight that made him give up fighting40:00 – No money in fighting42:00 – Is Jake Paul good for the sport44:30 – Fighting in Canada (can’t even afford a house)47:00 – The truth about concussions in combat55:00 – Peptides1:00:00 – Recovery1:09:00 – Getting mentally ready1:17:45 – Why everybody should do martial arts1:19:15 – Bazooka Joe legacy

In this conversation, Conservative Ant breaks down how COVID-era policies and mandates changed society in both Canada and the United States.We discuss how lockdowns, social distancing rules, mask mandates, and government incentives impacted everyday life, divided communities, and reshaped public trust.

This episode with Kenny Dusseault cuts through the bullshit.We talk about why athletes really fail — and it’s almost never physical.It’s ego. Identity. Poor decision-making. And refusing to think past the next fight.Kenny breaks down the reality of injuries in combat sports, when training through pain is necessary, and when it’s career-ending stupidity. We unpack the TJ Dillashaw situation, the lie of “just push through it,” and why smart athletes know when to protect the long game.We also get into conditioning that actually works, why most strength programs are built for Instagram instead of performance, and how athletes should be thinking about money, branding, and life after competition before their body forces the issue.From Sean O’Malley’s business intelligence to Jake Paul’s marketing machine, this conversation exposes why leverage beats hope — every time.This isn’t motivation.It’s perspective, accountability, and truth.If you’re an athlete, coach, or someone trying to build something that lasts — you’ll feel this one.Timetsmaps: 00:00 – 00:40 Intro00:50 – Why He Wanted to Become a Coach06:40 – Sports Psychology: Why Athletes Really Fail10:10 – How He Got Into Strength & Conditioning14:10 – His Thoughts on Business Coaches20:10 – Getting Started on Social Media23:40 – How to Develop a Real Gas Tank31:40 – Can Athletes Learn Their Limitations?32:10 – Dealing With Injuries in Combat Sports33:40 – Why You Must Train Through Injuries38:40 – TJ Dillashaw Injury Breakdown 41:40 – The “Plan B” Every Fighter Needs42:40 – Why Sean O’Malley Is the Smartest UFC Fighter (Reel)45:40 – Thoughts on Jake Paul’s Marketing54:40 – Why People Want to Work With Kenny1:04:10 – How to Build Hip Strength1:20:40 – What “Being Wealthy” Really Means1:25:40 – His Legacy Philosophy
