Ep. #031 | My Testimony Might Save Your Life

Makai Lui — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 06:05:00 -0700

In this episode, our Host opens up his heart to his community, friends, family and fellow Americans. Sharing the divine and appointed intervention and rededication of his life to the Lord Jesus Christ back on 11/1/2016. He also pours out what is stirring in his heart as we witness the events of biblical prophecy unraveling before our eyes.

He shares his full testimony, which has never been publicly announced until today. He speaks on how God's intervention transformed his own life, alongside leading several others to accept Jesus in their hearts, and has also given the likes of atheist a deep curiosity to learn, digest, and even covert their belief systems about God and the divine spiritual realm we exist in.

You can keep your tinfoil hats at home, because what is professed in this episode is nothing but the truth. God's truth. This one is for EVERYONE, but particularly for the people who's spirit has been stirred to cling to Jesus, and for those who may not know anything about the beautiful, mercy, and grace of God. He has designed YOU with deep intimate meaning, and He has created YOU to Live this life with PURPOSE, and for HIS glory... Amen!

As always...
Take care of your mind, take care of your body, take care of your soul, and take care of the people around you. Much love!

Ep. #030 | How to Get Unstuck in 2025

Makai Lui — Tue, 06 May 2025 07:04:00 -0700

In this episode, our Host opens up about what it really looks like to rebuild from rock bottom—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. From losing his identity after a devastating injury to stepping away from scholarship money and betting on himself, he walks through the raw truth of being stuck… and how he found his way to not only get unstuck, but will momentum into life itself.

He shares the exact 10-Day Reset framework that helps him move forward when things are foggy—and how you can use this at any time, to realign your mindset, your mission, and your habits starting today.

This one’s for the person in transition, the high performer feeling lost, or the quiet warrior trying to find clarity in the chaos. You’re not alone. And you’re not done.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

The 10-Day Reset Framework
Becoming: The daily note that keeps you moving
Lessons from injury, identity loss, and rebuilding with purpose
Why movement creates clarity—not the other way around

Ep. #027 | Less Distractions

Makai Lui — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 07:14:00 -0700

On this episode, I walk through my experiences with reducing the clutter of distractions and the massive benefits this will bring to your life and the lives of the people around you. The more we can eliminate distractions in our life, the more bandwidth we have to focus on the aspects of our life that matter the most- relationships, career, finances, passions, etc. and furthermore impact the greater good of humanity.

Ep. #026 | 90 Day Principle

Makai Lui — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 07:14:00 -0700

On this episode, the topic of discussion is what I call the 90 Day Principle. This is a framework that I have lived by for years and have gratefully benefited from in many ways.

Ep. #025 | Your Example Matters

Makai Lui — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 07:14:00 -0700

On this episode, the topic of discussion is why Your Example Matters. My belief is that we all have an obligation to live our lives with a high standard and to continue to raise that standard throughout the course of our lives. What others see as possible for themselves comes from what they see in you and what you have overcome, what you have accomplished, and the standard you refuse to compromise on.

Whether you believe it or not... other people are watching you and how you show up in life. Your example can either be a crutch for them to stay where they are in life and never change OR you can be the beacon of light that shines through the darkness and gives others hope and a refreshing sense of belief that they themselves can also reach new heights. Because they can... and they will.... and you will too... but only if you continue to take action and be steadfast in keeping and raising your standard.

So, remember, it is not about me and it is not about you. It is about living the God designed purpose of your life at the highest standard, without compromising, and seeing the natural evolution of others lives around you and beyond be impacted in a big way. Your Example Matters...

As always... take care of your mind, take care of your body, take care of your soul, and take care of the people around you.

Ep. #018 | Jake Olson

Makai Lui — Wed, 18 May 2022 06:40:00 -0700

Jake shares his testimony and story of battling retinal blastoma as a young boy, becoming fully blind for life, and how he has relentlessly overcome this adversity and now leveraged this as fuel in every aspect of his life.

Who he is and how he attacks life is the epitome of relentlessness and gritty resilience for all of us to be inspired from. My hope is that your perspective shifts after absorbing this message and that you can grow your ability to be grateful for the gifts/talents/health/life God has blessed you with and to continue your journey of self improvement which WILL translate into the world around you.

Jake means a lot to me as a brother, but also as an inspiration in how I move in this life and as a reminder to spend time in gratitude for the health we have or things we may overlook in our day to day lives.

Anything you commit your mind, heart, and soul into is possible... especially with an undeniable faith in God.

For context, Jake and I met in high school at Orange Lutheran in Orange, CA. We were in FCA together, traveled around the world in honors choir where we first met, ended up becoming football teammates, and I had the special opportunity to be his wingman as he long snapped for our Varsity team where we bonded forever. So excited to share his message with you guys. If this episode impacted you in any way, I ask that you please share with your friends, families, and colleagues.

As always... please take care of your mind, take care of your body, take care of your soul, and take care of the people around you. #ocvo

He currently owns Hoops Chiropractic which is a family and sport wellness facility located in Fullerton, California. After a severe football related back injury left me lifeless back in college, we researched for months before finding Dr. Hoops but I thank God every day that we did.

With his talent, expertise, and will to help me fully recover... we did just that. We also talk about how he got into this practice, his injury story/recovery, his education, and the road map of how he got to where he is today with Hoops Chiropractic.

Ep. #016 | Ragnar Race + Phase 2 (#75Hard) Recap

Makai Lui — Fri, 06 May 2022 09:39:21 -0700

This was the most mentally, physically, and spiritually demanding experiences I chose to put myself through for many reasons. I don't share this to brag and boast but to be a living example for others (YOU) to hopefully use to your advantage for the goals you have in your life - whatever they might be.

For the first time in a very long time, I can say confidently that I will forever be proud of myself for honoring the promises I set out to fulfill.

Without compromise, without deviation, and with an undeniable intensity…

I set personal records on pace, fought through injury, broke through mental barriers that have been deeply integrated into my being, grew closer to God, overflowing with gratitude, AND all while closing out Phase 2 of #75hard with a MF exclamation point ‼️

Never give up on yourself and stop cutting corners or trying to find the “easy way”… you’ll miss out on the beauty in the struggle that life/God has to offer you.

Don’t wait to be led… be the leader and execute. Do this in your families, your relationships, your friend groups, your workplace, your church, etc.

Choose the road *least* traveled & find truth in every step of the way.

When you can tap into momentum and growth at will, your life will change forever… I want that for every single human that is alive & that is why I share my journey (which is far from over.)

Do the work necessary to bring out the best version of yourself in the areas of your life that matter the most to you. Every. Single. Day. Especially when you don’t feel like it.

That is where you truly start to unlock the potential that is within. Regardless of your situation/circumstances… if you can tap into the will that inside of you, you will find a way no matter what.

There is still much more work to be done as the journey continues so I will share more on an @orangecountysveryown episode if you’re interested to hear more details.

To those who support & encourage me every single day… You know exactly who you are and I cannot thank you enough because you are the FUEL that lights my fire 🧡

God is good… NEXT 🚀

As always... take care of your mind, take care of your body, take care of your soul, and take care of the people around you. Much love. #ocvo

There are many facets in the current state of the world that are causing a lot of division in our homes, communities, work places, etc. On this episode, I share my perspective about listening to each other with intent, loving others more regardless of opinions, serving one another more, and ultimately the work that needs to be done by the individual self to help lessen the curve of division in our communities. Because it starts with us...

My vision is clear on how I will lead my life and although my thoughts were a bit all over the place in this one - I hope you walk away with a call to action... A call for our leaders (YOU) to amplify your roles at home, in your work place, your relationships, your families, etc. and stop the hate/division across the board. We need you more than ever, so let's do the work - you are not alone. Much love guys, thanks for rocking with me and for tuning into OCVO. Till next time...

Ep. #004 | Perspective

Makai Lui — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 00:19:20 -0700

In this episode, I talk about different practices that I have implemented in my life such as gratitude and constantly auditing myself to ensure that my Perspective on life is leading me to a more blissful, peaceful, and fulfilling human experience.

Due to our current state of society, it is too easy to be consumed into the troubles of the world, others and of the unlimited content on toxic social media, Netflix, Video games, etc. without realizing that we are spending unruly amount of our focus and energy into things that do not benefit us and that's including me. If we were to take that same amount of time, focus and energy and plug that into living a profound experience. It will give us a greater opportunity to live a fulfilling life. It will give us a greater opportunity to be happier, be more present and ultimately live the life we were designed to have.

Our lives life were not meant to be lived in darkness, sadness, anxiety and stress. Yes, these are inevitable in our lives as we embrace the human experience but if we commit to implementing daily practices of gratitude to alter our mindset and put in the work to audit our perspective. It will give us a strong foundation as to how we can take negative situations or negative mindsets and change the way we experience life in a much more positive and higher ROI centric style. We deserve to enjoy life regardless of what we are going through and I believe that practicing gratitude and being thankful for the things we have and not what we don't have will lead us to a more present and more fulfilling life. It has for me and I want the same for you too...

Ep. #003 | Our Lives Require Relentless Effort

Makai Lui — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 00:12:08 -0700

The chances of existing is basically zero. Anyone who is alive right now including those who are reading this, has defied an impossible one to 400+ trillion odd... Pretty amazing, right?! They way I see it is the fact that we defied that odd means that we were born with a purpose and I believe that full heartedly down to my core. To be alive is the greatest gift in the world and we need to take advantage of this opportunity.

For most of my life I did not believe that and also didn't know what my purpose was or what impact I could have on Earth. God intervened into my life in 2016 and changed the course of my legacy forever. From that time on I knew what I had to do to become the man I wanted to be but did not grasp the concept of longevity and sustainability with the lifestyle I was going to live.

As I accomplished many goals I set out for including: losing 100+ pounds, first generation college graduate, strengthening my relationship with God, impacting lives all around me, etc. I got comfortable and slowly let negative habits creep back into my life which ultimately led to the loss of a burning fire to be relentless in my pursuit of being the best version of myself. As my pursuit lessened, challenges and trials that presented themselves became daunting to face and felt as if I was completely losing control of my life until recently when I had another damaging back injury and also discovered 75HARD created by Andy Frisella.

I am 31 days into this program and had a massive realization that if I want to achieve becoming the man God purposed me to be (physically, spiritually, mentally, professionally, financially, with relationships, etc.) it will require a relentless effort from me day, after day, after day and an understanding that this choice of lifestyle will have no ending... I have experienced what it is like to live like this and to also have it stripped from me because of my own choices and behaviors. Now that I have experienced both sides, I am willing to do everything in my power to never allow that to happen again.

If you have not already, I encourage you to take the necessary time to figure out who you are in the now and who you want to be for the rest of your life. Once you come to a conclusion, then it is time to relentlessly pursue that version of yourself and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER quit. We are not alive "by chance" and we are definitely not designed to live a mediocre life. I pray for strength, guidance and your ability to believe in yourself as we continue this journey together. Until next time... pray about it, be about it, and let's get it!

Ep. #002 | Taking Ownership of Your Life

Makai Lui — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 23:52:08 -0700

Taking control of our habits(micro/macro), focusing on our health/fitness/wellness, identifying the excuses we make for ourselves, and taking action to overcome the obstacles of ourselves that are holding us back from our full potential.

By creating sustainable habits in our life, this will help us live the life we are purposed to live and create opportunities to impact the people around us in an exponential way.

**For transparency, 75HARD is not a challenge or transformation trend. It is a mental toughness program created by Andy Frisella.
