Podcast
Welcome to the Gentleman Badass Podcast. In a culture that seems increasingly bent on squashing masculine traits, we believe the tenants of both the Gentleman and the Warrior are of utmost importance. On this podcast, we’ll be talking to men from all walks of life who are on the path of the Gentleman Badass as well as badass women cut from the same cloth. From rock stars, fighters, and business owners, to trainers, entrepreneurs, and hardened combat veterans, we’ll leave no stone unturned.
The Gentleman Badass Podcast is available on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, and anywhere podcasts are found.
The Hosts of the Gentleman Badass Podcast
Mick Doyle was born in Dublin, Ireland and comes from a long line of fighters. Mick himself is a two-time World Champion Muay Thai fighter, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, and long-time coach and gym owner. Mick has worked with such fighters as Conor McGregor, Gunnar Nelson, Anthony “Lionheart” Smith, and Kongnapa Watcharwit and has coached more National Champion Muay Thai fighters than any coach in the USA. For Mick’s complete bio, please click here.
Josh Kidney is from Omaha, Nebraska and is a guitarist, author, personal trainer, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt. Fed up with his former job as a Stock Broker, and strengthened by the warrior mentality he’d learned training under Mick Doyle, Josh left the comfort of his job to strike out on his own. He has since founded CyGo Records, an independent record label that showcases the art of warriors. For Josh’s complete bio, please click here.
