Chapter 1: How did Russell Brunson's podcast evolve over time?
I'm like, Oh no. So I called one of my friends, Ty Ogata, who lives in the neighbor next to me. He's like, he's a chiropractor. He's awesome. And he raced over and he's like, dude, your ulna popped out of your elbow or whatever or something like that. And so he goes and he snaps it back in. Oh, and it was hurt. But then like the muscles looked weird. My arm looked deformed.
I was like, what's happening? He's like, your muscles are all freaking out because, you know, the bone moved. And so he spent like an hour like massaging my form to get it back to like, so it looked like a normal arm. And then I started doing some basic pressure. I pressured my hand over, up, and then as soon as I put some pressure up, my ulna popped out again. And I'm like, oh no.
So he had to reset it back in there. And I was like, dang it. And so Chloe was so happy. She's like, all right, you know, cancel wrestling. You're going to come. And I'm like, don't cancel yet because maybe there's a way we can heal. And so then in true Russell Brunson fashion, I was like, all right, how do we solve this problem? There's got to be a way.
So I'm calling everyone I know, trying to figure out the right things, right? So the guy who does my... Doug Grant, who does my blood work and does my supplements, I tell him. So he's like, okay, there's these peptides. It's called the Wolverine Protocol. So he ships me out, overnights me. These peptides, they're supposed to make you heal super fast.
So twice a day, I'm giving myself peptide shots directly into my arm, right? I do all sorts of stuff, try to get this thing healed as fast as I can. And it just hurts. Every time I try to do anything, it hurts. And so I was about to spot where I was going to give up and then Ty, my chiropractor, came over and he's like, I have an idea. So he went and he taped my wrist really tight on that side.
He taped about three inches
deep on my wrist and by taping it it kept the two bones together closer it's like actually my wrist I'm like oh my gosh like it still hurts but not like I think I could actually wrestle this way and so I was like I'm gonna test tomorrow morning I called uh Mike Vanbrill who's my one of my wrestling partners I was like hey come out tomorrow let's wrestle I want to see if I can do it so we came out the next morning and it wrestled and yeah it hurt a lot but I was able to I was able to do a whole wrestling practice I'm like okay I'm back in told my wife I was like sorry Colette I'm gonna go wrestle she's like what you like you literally like
dislocated your arm like two days ago I'm like I know I'm gonna do it anyway and so I committed to doing it again right um at this point some guys are like Russell's insane um and remember I posted on social something because everyone's like oh sorry you're gonna miss your wrestling I was like I don't think you guys understand I was like if I was missing a leg I would still go to wrestling like this has nothing to do with like oh I'm healthy or am I healthy like like this is something I committed to that I'm gonna do um every year till I die like I'm going to this tournament um
And so that was kind of planned. So then fast forward now a couple of days. Now it's like, okay, now as I get close to the tournament, there's two weight classes. And in old guy wrestling, the weight classes are bigger gap, right? When you're competing as a younger guy, like every eight to 10 pounds are different weight class. So you're kind of in there. But with my age group, there's like a...
