1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880
What is going on y'all? 
Robert Sykes, welcome to the 

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,120
Savage Perspective podcast. 
All right, so we have filmed, I 

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:13,000
mean, I've recorded over 750 
episodes of the Keto Savage 

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,760
podcast. 
I started that back in 2016 

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,880
recording with a little blue 
Yeti USB microphone in my closet

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,520
and it went from there to where 
it's been as of late. 

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,440
You know, I've had some great 
guests on the show over 750 

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,680
episodes. 
So it's been, I've been in the 

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,759
podcast space for a while and 
it's been the Keto Savage 

10
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:37,240
podcast with definite, you know,
roots in the ketogenic nutrition

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,440
space. 
However, I've brought on guests 

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,040
outside of that realm. 
I've brought on entrepreneurs, 

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,320
I've brought on, you know, 
people talking about parenting, 

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,160
homesteading, regenerative 
agriculture, fitness, 

15
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:53,240
spirituality, lifestyle. 
Like I brought in guests outside

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,840
of the nutrition space and I've 
obviously been ketogenic for, 

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,160
you know, 10 plus years now. 
I believe in that lifestyle and 

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,520
I'm sticking to it and I love 
learning from people that I 

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,760
bring onto the show. 
But my interest goes beyond just

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,800
nutrition. 
And I feel like that's something

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,760
that I can never know all there 
is to know about. 

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,360
So I'm going to continue to 
bring on guests around 

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,960
nutrition, but I want this 
podcast to be more comprehensive

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,720
than just nutrition. 
As I've brought on these guests 

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,400
outside the nutrition space, 
I've got a lot of positive 

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,640
feedback from the listeners 
about it. 

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,920
So I feel, I feel like I'll 
double down on that and just 

28
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:38,440
make the podcast more inclusive,
more comprehensive, deeper. 

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,640
You know, I think of my life, 
what I value, how I view things,

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,800
and I feel like my biggest fear 
in this world, in this lifetime 

31
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,200
is mediocrity. 
To become complacent. 

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,560
That's the last thing that I 
want to do. 

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,040
And as such, I've structured my 
life into five primary pillars, 

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,320
which I've talked about on the 
previous episodes, this 

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,800
tensegrity model, tensional 
integrity, basically making all 

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,000
things that I spend time, 
effort, energy on, acting 

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,680
symbiotically in nature to build
the whole. 

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Those five billers pillars being
health, wealth, family, 

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,080
relationships, spirituality, and
self development. 

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,880
And I feel like everybody's got 
their own view of that. 

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Maybe it's 4 pillars, maybe it's
3 pillars, maybe it's six 

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560
pillars, whatever. 
Everybody's got these things 

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,240
that they want to pursue and 
dive deeper into and grow in 

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,760
throughout their life. 
That's how we grow. 

45
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,640
That's how you avoid mediocrity 
and complacency. 

46
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,320
And with this rebrand of the 
podcast, the Savage Perspective 

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Podcast, I want to double down 
on all of those pillars and just

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760
go deeper. 
I'm going to start doing all 

49
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,640
video format going forward. 
So from here on out, every 

50
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:03,440
podcast is going to be video. 
Whenever possible, I'm going to 

51
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,880
have guests come here on site 
and record in person because I 

52
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,840
got this cool new podcast studio
and I want to, if time permits, 

53
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,880
build a relationship with them 
before we record so that we can 

54
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,680
just start the podcast more 
comfortably together. 

55
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,280
And just go deeper than you're 
typically going to get on a 

56
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,920
standard 45 minute or hour long 
Zoom recording. 

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,240
Obviously I can't do that with 
every guest. 

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,240
So there will still be, you 
know, virtual recordings, but 

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,120
they will all be video. 
It's going to be on YouTube, 

60
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,880
it's going to be on all the 
podcasting apps, but we're going

61
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920
to go deeper. 
Obviously nutrition and fitness 

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,160
straight plays a very strong 
role in my life. 

63
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
So that's going to be, you know,
many episodes are going to be 

64
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,240
focused on them, but I'm going 
to actively pursue experts in 

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,400
other fields and just broaden 
the scope of this podcast. 

66
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,400
I feel like the Savage 
Perspective rebrand makes sense 

67
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,000
because I want to see what the 
perspective of these masters in 

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,240
their crafts take throughout 
their lives to reach the next 

69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,160
level and level up in life. 
So breaking down those 5 

70
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,880
pillars, obviously health and 
nutrition, we're going to still 

71
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,920
bring on guests that, you know, 
deep dive on that to improve 

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,440
fitness functionality, training,
modalities, all that good stuff.

73
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Kind of like as I have done up 
to this point, I'm going to 

74
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,600
focus on bringing more guests on
with an entrepreneurial wealth, 

75
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,520
you know, centric focus. 
There's so many things happening

76
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,000
and all the different businesses
that I operate that I'm super 

77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,200
excited to talk about and it's 
felt kind of out of place to 

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,440
talk about it on the Keto Savage
podcast. 

79
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,280
But I want to bring you all 
behind the curtain and show you 

80
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,000
about all the different things 
that's going on with my multiple

81
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,120
different businesses and help 
people that pursue that and want

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,120
to rise the next level in their 
ventures. 

83
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,320
Like I want to give them tools 
to do so from a self development

84
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,720
standpoint. 
There's so many things that I'm 

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,960
working on, you know, parenting,
we got another kid on the way. 

86
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,360
I want to talk about that. 
I want to talk about 

87
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,440
homesteading. 
I want to talk about hunting, 

88
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,240
all these skill sets that I put 
value in that I think developed 

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680
me as a human. 
I want to bring guests on that 

90
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,440
can, you know, cater to those 
questions and just drive more 

91
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,560
value in that regard. 
From a relationship standpoint, 

92
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,080
obviously those kind of go hand 
in hand. 

93
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,720
Like I want to be able to focus 
on that and improve all my 

94
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,440
relationships and building a 
podcast network with people that

95
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,000
I respect and value as human 
beings, having the opportunity 

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,240
to meet with them face to face 
and build relationships in 

97
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080
there. 
Like podcasting acts as a great 

98
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,880
vehicle to do that. 
When it comes to a spirituality 

99
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,560
component, you know, I want to 
do a deep dive on that as well. 

100
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Like I'm wasn't raised in a 
religious setting at all. 

101
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,400
My dad's an evolutionary 
biologist, but I've not shield 

102
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,080
away from diving deeper and 
asking hard questions in that 

103
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,400
regard. 
I feel like it's, I mean, as a 

104
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,040
human being, as a species, we 
have always wondered the big 

105
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,720
questions like where did we come
from? 

106
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Where we going? 
What is our purpose in life? 

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,720
And I feel like bringing the 
spirituality component into the 

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,560
podcast and actually figuring 
out where people stand on that, 

109
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,080
wading through hard questions, 
philosophizing on things will 

110
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,960
make for a very interesting 
conversation. 

111
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,800
So I am super, super excited 
about it. 

112
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,920
I'm not exactly sure I'm going 
to format this exactly. 

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,120
Yeah. 
There's going to be, you know, 

114
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120
like I said, video recordings. 
We'll probably be publishing 

115
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,360
these every Monday and 
Wednesday, potentially even a 

116
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,880
smaller episode on Friday that's
kind of more in house. 

117
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,200
Just things that I've got going 
on. 

118
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Not quite sure yet. 
We're still working out the 

119
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
details on that. 
But I'm incredibly excited about

120
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,480
where this podcast is going to 
go. 

121
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,120
And I think by rebranding to the
Savage perspective, it just fits

122
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,240
with having a more comprehensive
broad spectrum focus on things. 

123
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,440
I want to be able to go very 
deep on everything and not just 

124
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,640
simply cast a wide net, but by 
bringing in these other elements

125
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,800
of life that I think we all put 
value in. 

126
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,800
I can do so with this rebrand 
and it be more streamlined and 

127
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760
flow better. 
So I am very excited about it. 

128
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640
This is going to be the kickoff 
of the Savage Perspective 

129
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,600
Podcast. 
If there are any particular 

130
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,520
guests that you want me to bring
on the show and do a focus on, 

131
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,240
by all means let me know. 
I've never really been one that 

132
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,040
has, you know, said, you know, 
make sure you like subscribe, 

133
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,360
comment or write a review, 
whatever on the podcast. 

134
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,800
But now that we've actually 
switched our hosting provider as

135
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,240
well, I can read those comments 
and I will be fashioning the 

136
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,240
episodes based off of those 
comments. 

137
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,720
I'll be answering questions that
come in through the comments. 

138
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520
So I want this to be engaging. 
I feel like I'm going to be 

139
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,400
asking questions that I 
personally want to know the 

140
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,680
answers to that y'all would also
benefit from as well. 

141
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,800
And the podcast is likely going 
to become a little bit more long

142
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,720
form in nature. 
That's the beauty of podcasting 

143
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,640
in general. 
Like with Instagram and you 

144
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,240
know, X and TikTok, everything's
so short. 

145
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880
You get the highlight reel, you 
get all these, you know, over 

146
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,160
sensationalized blips of 
information. 

147
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,800
I want the podcast to go deep. 
I want the podcast to make for a

148
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,840
long form conversation where you
can get to the heart of the 

149
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,440
matter and actually come out the
other side better for it. 

150
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,960
So that is the direction things 
are taking. 

151
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
This is kind of the maiden 
voyage of this new formatting. 

152
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,520
I've got a few podcast guests 
that were already scheduled that

153
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,960
I'll be rolling out as well. 
So this would be kind of a 

154
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,880
gradual shift, but starting with
this one, going forward, they 

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840
will all be video. 
So yeah, I'm super excited to 

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,000
say the least. 
I can't thank y'all enough for 

157
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600
being along me along with me on 
this journey up to this point. 

158
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,120
I mean, 750 plus episodes in, 
you know, this is this has been 

159
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,920
one of the things that I've 
consistently done without fail 

160
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,080
every single week. 
And I'm just honored that I've 

161
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720
got an audience that's willing 
to listen. 

162
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,080
So I want to make y'all as front
row seat with this as possible, 

163
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,160
engaging as possible. 
So truly do let me know what 

164
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,800
your questions are. 
Let me know what guests you'd 

165
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,480
like me to bring on. 
Let me know what topics you'd 

166
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,920
like me to cover in depth and we
will all learn together. 

167
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Appreciate you.
