Please join me in welcoming the relentless, the inspiring, the one and only, the boss man, Ron, Boss Everland. This is Mic Unplugged. Let us uncover the because, that thing that drives you, that thing that fuels you. I'm ready if you are. Let's go. Brother, how you doing, man?
Man, thank you for having me on, man. I'm great, man. I appreciate you having me on.
This is, like I just said, it's a true blessing to be able to share space with individuals that are pushing great conversations and thoughtful mindset and to be able to share what I've been able to do and overcome and to hope inspire someone else who doesn't know me or give someone a deeper dive into who I am beyond what you may see the crazy antics between myself and
you know, like you just said, Kev, this morning, but some of the things that we do, some of the things that I, the way I look at this, this life, I'm excited to be here, man. So thank you for having me on. Congratulations to all your success and I'm excited for this 30 minutes.
Man, I'm the honored one, bro. I've been a huge fan of you forever. When I first learned about your story a few years ago, I was like, man, this is like, this is the guy. And it touched me so much. I don't even like calling it an underdog story.
And I hate when people refer to some of their stories as underdogs, man, because I think all of us have something, no matter what success looks like today, all of us had a path to get there. And so, again, I don't look at it as an underdog because all of us have things stacked against us.
But I love, Ron, man, for you to talk through what I call your because, that thing that's deeper than your why, right? Like there's a purpose, there's a mission that you have. And a lot of times it changes as we mature and start doing other things and you do a thousand things great. But what's your because? Why do you keep doing the things that you do, boss?
Man, I just want to continue to prove myself right. You know, betting on yourself, it sounds crazy, but there's that self-doubt. And when you have self-doubt, every day you got to get up and beat the block till your feet hurt the pavement, even if you don't know what direction you're going. So I'm trying to prove myself right in the belief that I could do more than what

Chapter 2: How does the concept of 'Why Not Me?' influence personal growth?
So talk to us about why all of that is so critically important for you, not just in the physical things that you do, but also the advisory you do, the mentorship that you also do as well. Why is all that important?
Presence and intentionality. There's a delay. I'm not sure. I'm seeing your lips move while I'm talking, so I'm not trying to. But presence and intention. I want to be I'm learning that when I'm leaning in, I need to be present and it has to be driven from pure intention.
And that's really where whether it's leaning in on a company, it's insight, it's experience, it's the things that I've had access to. And I'm learning to be. the intention's always there. Like the, the presence is where, uh, I've gotten in this journey where things have kind of gotten, I'm thinking about one thing, trying to do another one.
I'm trying to lay up another one while I love bringing my worlds together. Right. Like, cause I believe that rising tides raise all ships. We believe that. And I think that I know for me, right. The learning of me, uh, is, uh, How do I say? I live in a place where I love to compete to uplift. I don't compete to destroy.
So when I'm speaking or if I'm on a board or if I'm mentoring someone, I want to be very competitively. I want that mindset to resonate, whether it's within the company, on the board. Because I understand competition creates culture.
right and when you have a strong culture you have something good right because it's hard to break up culture and community and so uh for me that's where i when i lean in whether it be young trainers or young founders i'm always talking about what's the culture of the company what's the culture of who you want to become what do people what do you want people to know you as and if we have a product how are we going to position our product and how is that going to stay and
we can put any face on a product, whether it's my relationships that I know I can call most people, but if the product isn't good, product also being yourself, then it won't work. It won't work. So whether it's you or a physical product, if you, it's not going to work. And so from a, from, from how I like to lean in, making sure that the intentions there while building the, the,
All the other things around it, it's how I like to lead. And it's also like why I've been able to be in this position because I get to show up with so much authenticity to what I've experienced and what I've learned. And being able to share what I've learned help up-and-coming founders. I get to be a part of this company called C4 Neutral Boat. I've been with 10 years.
I've been a part of a, you know, just jumping into it, just kind of a little segue to like... was offered more money, stayed with the company. Company, I have equity in the company. Company goes, Cure Dr. Pepper comes in. Well, and there's a $3 billion valuation. I've helped sign a bunch of athletes along that journey. Well,

Chapter 3: What role does discipline play in achieving success?
It blew up. It was on Good Morning America. And I was like anti-social media. This is early Twitter. And I was just like, just train. Like, who cares about all that stuff? And I just created just train with no thought. Again, allowing things to come as they are. So I didn't have a thought. It was literally just as ignorant or just crazy as it was what it meant. I was meathead. Just train.
Whatever. And as I started to slow down, the evolution of Just Train started to evolve, right? Because it was Just Train, the mind, and the body of follow. Because I knew every day that I was conditioning. And Again, I allowed the brand to come to me. So Just Train is what people see. But the deep end part of it is like, no matter, it's where you get to go sit.
And so I started to realize that I was helping people on accident just by being me. It was like not even, I wasn't even like trying. I was just like, yo, let's go get this. My team would tell you I'm so like, I'm always on it. I'm positive, I'm positive, I'm positive.
And when people start telling you, like, man, that hit different or that perspective hit different for me or I had a lady, I've shared this multiple times, like, man, you helped me lose weight and I'm healthy to get a baby. I had no clue. She's crying. I'm sitting there like, oh, why is she crying? I had no clue that this could have this type of impact. And... True story, I read a book.
I was, and I know most people don't share these type of intimate details, but I was walking in the park and a lady came up to me and I was doing an obstacle course for a company in Atlanta because we all own a gym in Atlanta. And a lady came up to me, it was a few dudes, and she walked directly up to me. And I'm like, she's like, hey, I want you to read a book. And I'm like, But what about them?
She's like, I want you to read the book. I don't know this lady. I don't know nothing about her. So I want you to read this book called A Prayer at Your Pass. In my mind, I'm like, man, I'm not. She goes, she leaves. She brings me the book. I take the book. I'm scared of the book. I'm genuinely scared of the book. I'm going through hard times. Couldn't watch football on TV.
I'm training every day. I'm training people. I'm creating programs. But I'm all over the place. And one day I Googled the prayer of Jebass. And I saw all these amazing reviews. And I read the book and it taught me. I started to understand how I needed to pray. And that... started to shift my mindset.
And so when I started to think about Just Train the Mind and the Body You Follow, that's when the reading, that's when the understanding, that's when the vision got clear.

Chapter 4: How does Ron Everline define intentionality in personal development?
Then I've always believed that I needed, so I've always invested in people. So since I can remember before I even knew how to hire people, I've always hired people. Like, hey, you work for Just Train. It used to be called Total Player. And that's what I put in people. And so people, the people around me started to help shape that vision. Right.
Like your mindset, your mindset, your mindset, your mindset. Why do you think? And I'm like, man, you ain't got no choice to have a good mindset. You know, eight brothers and sisters, your mom died. These things happen and you and I'm waking up positive. You know what I mean? And so Just Train to Mind and the Body of Follow, football didn't work, became the mantra.
And so every day I pour that same thing back into Just Train and the community. And so that's the brand we have today as we expand to Atlanta, as we're expanding, we're doing stuff in Saudi Arabia. Like, that's how it came. There's no like, yes, I got the story of sleeping in my car and they're like, oh yeah, I did sleep in my car. You know, but Just Train came from
the people around, like people helping me understand that vision clear for myself, you know, and who I was. And so that learning opened up so much. I'm a student of the game. Again, that learning component was like, okay, I guess my mindset, you know, I always knew I was a positive. People will gravitate towards me. I didn't know what that was about.
I didn't know why people would always want to be around boss. You know, I didn't understand that. Right. And you're people like, man, people just love you. People love you. I'm like, OK. And then I realized when I started to do all these different things, that training was my thing. I can go be an executive. I can go do all this. I used to try to run from the training title.
And then I realized that it was my superpower. And I want Just Train to be a pillar for so many other individuals in this industry and young, upping, whoever it is, to be able to say, man, look at what that has become or look at what that did for me or how can we be a part of that or can I emulate that? That's what Just Train evolved into. And it's not just about the gym.
It's literally about how the mindset of how we evolve. And so I appreciate that question, but that's really how Just Train came about.
I love it, man. And for everybody that's watching and listening, the one thing that they can feel right now is what you just hit on, that positive energy and positive presence that you have. And that's what attracts people to you. So not only is it your gift and superpower, man, it is something that is unique to you.
And I will tell you that because that's what drew me to you on social, that drew me to following you on all the things that I do. I'd love for you to talk to the person that's listening right now, that's watching right now. that needs that positivity influence in their life.

Chapter 5: What lessons did Ron learn from his early challenges?
Where do you want them to follow you, find you? The floor is yours, brother.
man, I can say, look, I'm just trained. I'm boss. I'm not the brand. I'm a part of the brand. I just want people to know that you can change your life. You can go be as everything you want to be. I don't I come on here just to share a message. I don't come on here to... I just want to promote positivity and inspire somebody to see me and block out all the noise.
Like, if you want to follow me, cool. If you don't, great. But take this as a moment that maybe this is the sign. Maybe it's something I said. Maybe it's something Mick said. Maybe... Whatever it is, that's what this is for me.
When I get asked that question a lot, I'm always like, this is an opportunity and I'm just thankful to share very, very healthy conversations with like-minded individuals to be able to share a platform to maybe help that one person, you know, or, you know, to say, all right, I'm going to get up and go. And so thank you for giving me the platform. Thank you for allowing me to be here with you.
I'm always, again, grateful for these moments.
I'm the honor one, brother. So I'm going to get you out of here with the rapid fire top five. You ready?
Yes, sir.
All right. Your favorite athlete of all time. Michael Jordan. I'm a Tar Heel. He is mine, too. There we go. Your favorite professional football team.
Houston Oilers, but Houston Texans. But, you know, now we're the Texans. So, yeah, I got it. I'm hometown H town. I got to roll with my dogs.
