Transcribe →Leave No Doubt: The One Event That Still Sticks with Me
Mar 1800:12:05Tap to summarizeThis episode is about a moment that never really goes away.Looking back at the 2012 CrossFit Games, there’s one event that still stands out—not because of the result, but because of the effort.It wasn’t about losing. It was about knowing there was more to give… and not giving it.That feeling sticks.This conversation is about why those moments matter, and how they shape the standard moving forward. Doing the extra rep. Pushing when it would be easier not to. Choosing effort when no one else would know the difference.You won’t remember every win.But you’ll remember where you held back.The goal is simple: leave no doubt.Thanks for tuning in to the Jason Khalipa Podcast! 🎥 Click HERE to find a Men’s Club near you.Click HERE to join the Virtual THMC.Follow us on Instagram:JK PodcastJason30 days FREE on the TRAIN HARD AppSubscribe to our newsletter

Transcribe →I Think About This Weekly… Advice I Got at 20
Feb 1100:09:37Tap to summarizeIn this second installment of the month-long Coffee with Khalipa series, Jason shares a piece of advice he received at 20 years old that still shapes how he operates today.“If you want to be an owner, start acting like an owner today.”This episode is about the gap between who you want to become and how you’re showing up right now. Too often, we wait for permission, a title, or someone else to anoint us before we take responsibility. But real ownership doesn’t start with a promotion, a role, or recognition. It starts with behavior.Jason breaks down why you can’t flip a switch later and expect different results, how waiting to be chosen keeps people stuck, and what it actually looks like to act like an owner long before anyone calls you one.This is a reminder that responsibility is something you take, not something you’re given.Coffee with Khalipa.
