14. Twenty Times Stronger: Lessons From The Grind

The Epic Reunion: CNMI Labor Day Tournament 2025

In this episode of the Patriotic Islander Podcast, I sit with 2025 CNMI Labor Day vice-chair Jesse Agulto as we discuss this year's tournament. We delve into its storied history, witness the explosive growth of this epic reunion, and chart the potential direction of this monumental event. While challenges often confront hosting committees, they are seldom mentioned as this festival-style reunion surges in popularity. We aim to ignite powerful conversations and forge new ideas to propel this magnificent event forward for our Marianas people, both near and far.

14. Twenty Times Stronger: Lessons From The Grind

On this episode myself and guests Ioanis Rossa and Phillip Manalo (pipping) discuss moving from Saipan to the U.S., shifting mindsets, and finding strength through faith, discipline, and vulnerability. They share practical habits—running, jiu‑jitsu, non‑negotiable routines—and how consistency and positive self‑talk help in dark times. The episode also celebrates community: a Labor Day softball reunion that preserves culture, lifts others, and turns hard work done in the dark into visible victories.

13. The Come up featuring Professor Greg Anderson

Vulnerability was present in this episode.  After taking a hiatus from the pod, I decided it is time to get back on the horse and no one better to set it off with than my Professor Greg Anderson from Electric North Jiu Jitsu and host of the Endless Endeavor.  Since I met him back in 2020 , I have been introduced to a great group of people, bad ass community and a greater mindset. Greg was a former Army Ranger, U.S Marshall and Port of Seattle police officer. He eventually got fired from the port for speaking out against the government and ultimately, it led to him finding a better path in life. Today he host a very popular podcast " Endless Endeavor and started an online accountability, "Forge Ferocity". I was excited to sit down but also nervous,lol..

12. Sniper or Downward Dog?!

This was a banger of a show!! My brodders Aj and Pal drive up for an early workout , took em to get a Lumberjack from bean and biscuit and got açaí bowls from spoon and straws delivered for after the show. Aj shares the story of NESIAN built, the roots the intentions and where it headed. We got to cruising altitude quick on this one. Touched on MINDSET,LESSONS LEARNED, FATHERHOOD and DOING HARD SHIT. The boys run a marathon this Sunday down in Tacoma , Please cast good energy and prayers to them as they embark on another milestone in their journey of doing hard shit showing our people that to be better is just incremental steps of ridding bad habits , challenge the thinking ,putting one foot in front of the other and consistently compounding those day in and day out. We never touched on it but they too are doing the Iron man in September down in the Tri Cities. Nuff said!! Do good, try hard, be great stay hard!
