What if the breath is the bridge between your conscious and unconscious mind —
and you've been using it wrong your whole life?

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Lafleur, breathwork facilitator, yoga
teacher, and founder of Preservation Yoga Studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Eric has built his entire teaching philosophy around two things: breath for
the body, story for the mind. What comes out of this conversation is one of
the most honest, grounded discussions about breathwork, somatic healing,
nervous system regulation, and what real spiritual growth actually looks like
day to day.

We talk about how trauma gets stored in the body — often without us ever
knowing it's there — and how conscious breathwork can begin to release it.
Eric walks through the science, the lived experience, and the unglamorous
daily discipline it takes to actually change from the inside out.

This one is for anyone who's been avoiding the hard work. The answer isn't
sexy. But it works.

WHAT WE COVER:
- How breathwork heals the nervous system and releases stored trauma
- The body's memory: why generational trauma lives in us without our permission
- Miyamoto Musashi's Two-Fold Way — the warrior who must have both a
peaceful art and a killing art
- The Hero's Journey, Threshold Guardians, and why resistance means
you're on the right path
- Eric's kratom addiction at 38 — how it nearly broke him and what got
him through
- Why sober is the highest state of consciousness
- Joseph Campbell, Steven Pressfield, and the call you can't refuse
- How to use breath awareness to stay anchored in the present moment
- The chakra system made simple — and how to use it in daily meditation
- Why "do what you love and money will follow" might actually be
holding you back

There’s a point where talking about change stops working…
and you’re forced to decide who you actually are.

In this episode, Scott sits down with Jeremy Plummer for a conversation about obsession, discipline, and the cost of choosing a path most people won’t take.

This isn’t about motivation or quick fixes.
It’s about what happens when you stop negotiating with yourself and commit fully — even when it’s uncomfortable, uncertain, or inconvenient.

They explore the difference between interest and obsession, why most people quit when things get hard, and what it actually takes to follow something all the way through.

At its core, this episode is about identity —
who you become when you stop backing out of your own life.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• The moment most people quit — and why
• Obsession vs. discipline
• Choosing the hard path on purpose
• Mental toughness and identity shifts
• Following through when motivation fades

Some people plan their lives.

Others follow the fire.

In this episode of From The Grave Podcast, Scott sits down with world-class striking coach Jason Strout for a raw, free-flowing conversation about obsession, fighting, skateboarding, punk rock, creativity, and the strange way life seems to guide us if we’re paying attention.

They talk about growing up in the 80s and 90s—building ramps from stolen plywood, skating curbs for six hours straight, and chasing whatever sparked that inner fire. That same obsession eventually led Jason into the world of combat sports, traveling the world coaching elite fighters and helping them prepare for the highest levels of competition.

But the conversation goes much deeper than fighting.

They explore:

• Why people think they “can’t meditate”
• The power of following what excites you
• How childhood passions shape an entire life
• The brutal emotional reality of fight camps
• Why humility is the mark of true mastery
• Fatherhood and seeing your younger self in your child
• The strange magic of life’s “full circle” moments
• And why sometimes the best thing you can do is just say yes and see where the ride takes you.

This episode is about creative obsession, resilience, and trusting the strange rhythm of life.

Because if you follow the thing that lights you up…
doors start appearing where walls used to be.
