In this episode, Jordan sits down with Krishna Thapa in the heart of the Himalayas, surrounded by nature, ritual, and legacy. A former Gurkha, elite SAS soldier, and now the guide behind Nepal’s Warrior Monk Retreat, Krish offers a rare window into what it truly means to awaken the inner warrior — the part of ourselves that rises when everything else collapses.
Krish shares his story of struggle, discipline, and purpose. He reflects on summiting Mount Everest for the first time, not for glory, but to honour the legacy of the Gurkhas and leave something behind for his daughter and those who come after. He speaks deeply about the courage it takes to accept death, the humility of climbing, and how purpose must be bigger than ego.
This conversation weaves between the physical and the spiritual, exploring ancient Himalayan rituals around the five elements, the emotional power of walking barefoot on sacred ground, and how true transformation begins by mastering not just the body or mind, but the energy that flows through all living things. Krish’s message is clear — we all carry a warrior within us, but most of us have forgotten how to find it.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected, without purpose, or like something deeper is calling, this episode will meet you right where you are. It’s a rare glimpse into a world few will ever see — and a reminder that real strength comes from knowing who you are and why you walk the path you’re on.

In this episode, Jordan Mulligan sits down with Derek Lunsford — reigning Arnold Classic Champion, former 212 Mr. Olympia, and the 18th Mr. Olympia of all time — for one of his most open and inspiring conversations yet. From growing up in a small Indiana town to sleeping in his car while chasing his dreams, Derek shares the raw truth behind the journey to the top of professional bodybuilding.
He talks about the chip on his shoulder that pushed him early on, the mental shift that came with success, and how surrendering his life to God in 2020 transformed his outlook and motivation. For Derek, bodybuilding was never just about physique — it was about purpose, sacrifice, and becoming who he was truly called to be. He opens up about setbacks, the importance of failure, and the freedom that comes with no longer fearing it.
With a deep respect for his competitors and a drive to do what’s never been done, Derek reveals his goal of making history by winning the Arnold Classic, Pittsburgh Pro, and Mr. Olympia in the same year. He also reflects on the intense discipline behind the scenes — the training, the diet, the exhaustion, and the family support that makes it all possible. Whether you're into bodybuilding, personal growth, or stories of faith-fueled resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
