To live a life of options and not obligations, and this platform, we are stoked to bring you high performers. We’re not just chasing and attaining success, but redefining it through, providing above and beyond service. So our real quick coaching nugget of the week’s gonna run really parallel with my guest as well.

But let me hit you something that could flip your entire approach to performance, whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or just someone chasing greatness. You don’t rise to the [00:01:00] moment. You rise to your identity. And sometimes the best way to win isn’t by being more of yourself. It’s by becoming who you need to be in that moment.

That’s where the alter ego comes in. Top performers like a lot of times with my clients I’ll say, or even just friends if we’re out, you know, having a beverage or something and be like, Hey, how many plays do you think Dion Sanders played total in football his whole life? They’ll be like, 10,000, 20,000.

I’ll say absolutely zero plays primetime played when he is on the field. He was primetime. When Beyonce performs, it’s not Beyonce, it’s Sasha Fierce. When Kobe was on the court late, great Kobe Bryant was on the course. He wasn’t Kobe, he was the black mamba. So when the lights are on and the pressure’s real, they don’t perform in themselves, they tap into a version of them that’s built to dominate, not fake.

It’s focused, not pretend. It’s powerful. You wanna perform better. Close the gap between who you are and the who the mission requires you to be. One, you create the identity. Two, you name it. Three, build its traits and four [00:02:00] step into it on command. And if you’d like to, if you’re struggling, maybe getting, getting in your own way, gimme a call 5 6 1 4 4 0 3 8 3 0.

That’s 5 6 1 4 4 0 3 8 3 0. And we will build your alter ego talking about the alter ego. Today’s guest isn’t just stepping into the cages. And when I say cages, I mean MMA cages. He’s building warriors from the ground up. Eric Eloquent is a professional m and a fighter, Brazilian Jujitsu black belt and co-founder of one of South Florida’s most respected martial arts academies, the People’s Juujitsu and MMA with a pro record of seven in one.

Eric has competed in elite organizations like the Professional Fighters League Challenge Series, combat Global, and the CFFC, where he became a standout with his precision, patience, and raw grit. And yeah, he does have the strap. He’s got the belt there. But beyond the cage, Eric’s a mentor, a mindset machine, and a man on a mission.

Whether he is training future champions alongside his wife, world class, black belt, Amanda Tubby equin, or breaking down complex techniques into life lessons for his [00:03:00] students. Eric is obsessed with one thing, leveling people up from the inside out. He’s a technician, a tactician, and a tactful leader of what it means to live with purpose on the mat, in the fight, and through life’s biggest challenges.

So strap in, we’re gonna go deep into discipline, mindset, legacy, and what it really takes to win without losing your soul and brother and I gotta say that. Eric’s my teacher, like he has fun strangling me a few times a week. Yes, he might let me get, get one over on him and then he’ll laugh and then just get right back on it.

But, um, if you wanna find him, we’ll get to it. But we just moved the, he just moved the academy over to the Palm Beach boxing facility on Military Boulevard and it’s a fantastic, so come on out if you want. It’s not all fights and, and violence. It’s about, you know, really learning to level up and, and, and get your discipline and stuff.

So, Eric, man, thanks for coming on, brother.

Eric Alequin: Thanks for having me, bro. Yeah, always a pleasure. What

L. Scott Ferguson: has been, what has been new?

Eric Alequin: Well, it’s been new. Uh, we’re at the new location, Palm Beach Boxing guys again, 25 35 North Military Trail. You guys can [00:04:00] come check us out. Um, not only do we have Jiujitsu, we have Muay Thai, we have boxing now.

So really it’s been focused on getting situated in the gym and. Getting situated to prepare myself to fight again. So the training’s been turned, turned on.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah. And it’s a legendary place. I mean, Mike Tyson’s in there quite a bit now, right? Yes. Yes. Like he, his old bag from when he trained with custom autos there, right?

Yep. I mean, that’s, that’s really cool. And then, um, Charles Mooney, who, you know, you listening, Charles, I’ll love to get you in studio as well, bronze Ellis and the Olympics. He’s your boxing coach for your MMA, right? Yes, sir. He’s in there. And then I believe ante Davis, if he gets through his little. Stuff that’s going on right now is gonna be preparing for fight.

Yes. They have the whole area curtained off out there, right? Yeah. So it’s a really cool place. But also kids of all ages come in with his wife Tabby, right? Yes.

Eric Alequin: We, we teaching kids as young as three years old. Yeah. So three up until 12, and then when they hit 12, we bump ’em up until adult class. But we’ve been doing this for a long time and

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah.

Eric Alequin: And we,

L. Scott Ferguson: we’ve got it figured out. Yeah. I’d [00:05:00] say it, it’s amazing. That’s why I kind of stick with the team, especially in the bringing of the business people in. You know, you work the nine to fives or the five to nines or whatever, and we all, you know, we get in there ’cause we have morning classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Right now we’ll be adding classes and at nights. We’re getting it worked out, but for sure Mondays in Wednesday. What’s, what’s for sure the nights? Right now? Right now I know you

Eric Alequin: right now. A hundred percent Tuesday, Thursday evenings. Gotcha. And we’re, we’re working on, we’ll have a full launch of the schedule in August.

You’ll be putting together kind of open masks where

L. Scott Ferguson: people can come Perfect. Their, this Saturday, 11:00

Eric Alequin: AM If you want to drop in, you too. Fe

L. Scott Ferguson: man. Yes, sir. All right. That’s good, man. Bring Susan along too, right? Yes. I love it. So this, this, we’ve talked to you and Tubby. With you both in studio, but you’re a champion.

Okay. You know, you’re highly respected in the MMA world and in human life also. But when you, I gotta ask you like when you’re walking into a cage, ’cause I’ve been there to witness it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It’s, it’s really cool. But when you’re walking into a cage or you know, even onto the mat, what part of your identity are you intentionally stepping into?

Like. [00:06:00] Again, we kind of go with the alter ego, right? Yeah. Yeah. ’cause you are the chillest dude. I know. Yeah. Until that time. And there’s a switch that flips. So what’s your, what happens with your identity, Eric?

Eric Alequin: To be honest, the switch takes the switch. For me, the switch doesn’t happen until maybe the first punch is thrown or maybe the first point of contact.

’cause I’ve literally been, like you said, I’m chill. I’ve literally be literally been walking out to a fight, like when I fought for the CFFC title and I’m like, okay, well. I’m just walking out and I get in the cage and I look at my opponent and I could tell he’s all amped up. He’s all nervous. And, and the reality still has to hit me.

And I’m still like Eric at the time and I’m like, okay, I’m about to have a fist fight. And then as soon as an exchange happens, something just takes over. Man. It’s, it’s, it’s a little scary ’cause I feel like I’m a, a little too present Yeah. In the moment. Like, okay, you know, I almost rather be nervous and not.

Conscious, if that makes sense. Sure. But I mean, [00:07:00] it allows me to think, I, I’ve just had to find that balance of not being too relaxed, you

L. Scott Ferguson: know?

Eric Alequin: Right.

L. Scott Ferguson: And there’s patience that comes in with that, right? Yes. So, you know, you’ve spoken about a lot with me and, and being one of your students and stuff about patience and progression.

So what systems or routines do you. Put into your protocol that, that stay consistent When, like, say, maybe motivation isn’t there, like, you know, the disciplines, like what do you do to stay disciplined?

Eric Alequin: I feel just my constant search for knowledge is what, what keeps me disciplined. I’m constantly, constantly watching footage.

I’m, I watch the same footage over and over. My wife will walk in the room on a. On a Saturday night, it’s one in the morning and I’m watching like, sugar Ray Robinson’s legendary run. I’m just right. I wanna see what these guys were doing. What made them succeed? Was it, what, what mentality did they have?

What their physical, uh, conditioning was like? I’m just, I’m obsessed over really the,

L. Scott Ferguson: the old time [00:08:00] greats. Sure. It’s awesome. And, and back then it is the golden age and there’s so much to learn from them, right? I mean, it’s crazy. But squad what, what he is really kind of talking about is we don’t. Rise the level of our motivation.

’cause motivation comes and goes. We fall to the level of our systems. Mm. So your systems have gotta be good. I talk about goals and the byproducts of goals is your standards. When you Eric said say, okay, the scrap is in, you know, eight weeks, the standards that fall under that, he doesn’t leave those standards.

Even as us students, we don’t take a back backseat so much, but we know that he’s got, you get in a fist fight. ’cause you know, you play football, you play volleyball, you play soccer, you don’t play fight. Derek’s gotta get into that and we do respect that. But he’s always disciplined, most, most disciplined people I know.

So, you know, how about separating emotion from execution when maybe the fight’s not going your way? Like when to was in here one time as your first MMA fight, pro fight and you gave her a look like you weren’t doing great at first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:09:00] Right. Yeah, she, that look. When things aren’t going your way or anybody else out there squad, if you’re listening, things aren’t going your way, what, what do you lay on them to to, to reset.

Eric Alequin: I really, I tend not to get too emotional. It’s funny because, you know, you experience things in the cage that you’ve never experienced. You know, I remember the first time I got knocked down. So your, your mind can say a couple things to you. Your mind can say. You know, you could just lay down and, and get, and get outta here, but, but my mind was like, right, right.

You’re gonna have to kill me. Right. So I don’t, I think emotion is the killer in combat sport. You can’t be emotional. Mm-hmm. You just, you just, I have like little mantras, like, keep going, keep pushing.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah.

Eric Alequin: Every, everyone’s tough for a couple minutes or a couple rounds, but can they sustain it? Yeah. That, that’s my thing.

Like, I’m going to be persistent. I will not stop. You would have to separate my consciousness from my body or put me in some type of submission where my limbs are at risk. Yeah. You and you [00:10:00] can’t. Yeah. And then you, you’d

L. Scott Ferguson: probably be smart. Yeah. Kinda what we call tap out and that. Yes. Um, but yeah, it’s really getting back to that neutral, right.

Like your things don’t go right. You know, there’s nothing you can do about it. No. And if you try to push too far forward, like you can’t do anything about it there. Yeah. You have to be neutral and present. That’s what I see with you. Even when you’re teaching, you’re always teaching us from a neutral position.

You’re like, this happens, you’re here, this, and it’s like, if this, then that. So if I was to just kinda shadow you for a week, you know, what would I see in your habits that maybe most people miss? Like, like how do you become elite? Mm-hmm.

Eric Alequin: Well, obviously you have to stay consistent. Uh, I think a big part is just mind mindset, constantly feeding your mind with good things because in today’s day and age, we’re bombarded by so much tech.

You got the cell phones, you got the tablets, you got, you got so much going on. So I think really. It’s just being locked in. And I was thinking about this last night, and this is just [00:11:00] like for anybody trying to make it in any type of sport. Like when you, when you’re no longer doing it for yourself and you’re doing it for someone else, it’s, it’s gonna be really easy to find that discipline to get up because I don’t want to, I didn’t want to get up this morning and go for a walk, and I don’t want to eat boiled eggs.

Like for breakfast, I want, I want bread, I want greasy food, but. It came to a point in my life where it’s no longer about me, and again, when you’re doing it for someone else, it becomes easy to get up and do things that suck

L. Scott Ferguson: you. You said on other interviews, other blog posts that I’ve seen about like. Mom, you don’t have to worry about things anymore.

Yeah. Right. That’s, that’s the plan, bro. That’s the plan.

Eric Alequin: Yes. Yes. My parents have worked so hard. My, my family, like, so my mom’s mom was born in Cuba and they all came over here when things got bad and my people have worked so hard to get where they are. And it’d be nice to just be like, mom, dad house is paid for like.

I know you still wanna [00:12:00] work, but you don’t have to Sure. That that’s the end game.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah. Where does that come from the, the family dynamic that you have? Because I mean, I know your sister, your sister makes my soaps, like the defense soaps, you know, the scrub, if you’re looking for good candles or soaps, she’s the person to go to.

Right, right. You know? ’cause you get a lot of mat yuckies and stuff like that. Mm-hmm. And she makes a soap. Washes that all off, but like where’s the kind of the family dynamic? Were you guys raised tight?

Eric Alequin: Oh my goodness. I, I just remember, obviously my parents were working. I’d hang out at my grandmother’s all day with all my cousins, so my mom is like one of five females and she had a brother.

And we used to just every weekend have these big family parties where it was lots of food, lots, lots of. Lots of craziness going on. Yeah. But we always stick together as a family, so just want to be able to hug. Like you can

L. Scott Ferguson: mess with each other, but anyone else messes with you and then game on. Oh yeah, for sure.

For sure. I love that. And it is a tight family squad. I’ve been able to witness it and see it and be invited to some of the stuff. It’s actually really cool. And speaking of [00:13:00] inviting, we’re gonna invite my good friend here and my blessed to be my sponsor, Steve Austin. He’s gonna give a real estate market report real quick and when we come back.

We’re gonna go over with the champ Eric Equin, about visualization before the scraps and, and what he’s got going on. So take it away, Steve.

The week started on a good run for mortgage bonds, but once again, jobless claims came in Thursday and put a halt to that moving things back down. Overall mortgage bonds are in a no harm done range, and we’re still seeing rates very similar to where we finished last week. Next week, the Fed is announcing their decision on the fed rate.

All signs are currently pointing to there being no cut again. So for now, we’re kind of just staying in this hurry up and wait position. That’s it for this week. Have a great weekend everyone.

Things are looking a little bit better out there, so anybody that’s in the uh, market for mortgages, make sure you reach out to Steve today and we’re gonna. Roll in here with my good friend, my coach. I’m actually kind of a coaching client sometimes. Um, Eric Equin here.

Eric, when it comes to visualization, you know, before you fight, you know, are you seeing the win? Are you kind of walking through the adversity? You might hit bad position, still seeing your, obviously still seeing yourself succeed, but like how do you play out a fight in your mind?

Eric Alequin: What I really try to do is.

Affirm myself with everything that’s going to take place. So there’s a lot of stuff that happens. You know, most people just see the fights, but there’s a lot of stuff happening on the back end. Interviews, weigh-ins. You gotta report to the hotel a [00:16:00] week early. Uh, the waiting to walk out. You might, I’ve had scenarios where they get me fully undressed to walk out, and then I’m sitting in a, under a cold AC unit for 20 minutes, you know, after I’ve had a full sweat.

So just preparing your mind for. Everything leading up, you know, I do visualization of the fight, but I don’t want to get too attached to certain sequences or movements. So I want, I want my body and my mind to be free and able to respond. Right. But it’s just really getting used to walking out, uh, seeing who you’re gonna see out there.

Maybe getting a, uh, accustomed to something you might smell The sounds really just making it so your mind is. Is used to this not ’cause your brain’s medieval. It’s, it’s freaking out. It’s trying to protect you. It’s like, stop. You’re going into this unknown. Territory. You don’t know what’s gonna happen.

I’ve been, your mind’s so crazy. I’ve been in like a juujitsu tournament and I’ve hoped that the [00:17:00] power went out just because my, my mind. But you know, you suck it up and you get it done and you, you surprise yourself at

L. Scott Ferguson: that rust. Yeah, I,

Eric Alequin: I remember when I, my young, uh, younger Jiujitsu career, like I would win my division and I wouldn’t want to do the open weight.

I’d be satisfied and my coach would like, no, you’re gonna sign up. You’re gonna, and I’d be completely terrified and I’d go and I’d submit everybody. So it was just, you gotta push. And it’s scary. Everyone’s scared unless you’re a crazy person. So

L. Scott Ferguson: yeah, in squad, what he’s saying is that winners make adjustments.

The mediocre people are, I’ll just blatantly say it, losers, they make excuses. Eric makes adjustments on the fly, especially when you’re in that kind of lifestyle. Um, you where you’re, again, you don’t play fight, you’re fighting. So he makes adjustments on the fly. So how about mental skills like that you’ve mastered now?

I mean, I know you’re a student for life. Yes. Right? You tell me that all the time, but you’ve mastered a few, that skills that you’ve mastered that you wish more fighters understood [00:18:00] earlier in their careers. Like, what could you pass on to the younger Eric? I would say

Eric Alequin: number one, stay ready, train. Always train as if you have a fight within a week.

Keep your weight on point, keep your diet on point, keep your routine on point so nothing changes. You’re always ready ’cause you’re always gonna get that, Hey, boom, phone call. Hey, can you make this in a week?

L. Scott Ferguson: Exactly right.

Eric Alequin: Yes. That, that’s I think the most important part. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.

Yeah. The separation and the preparation, right? Yes. Yes. If you’re

L. Scott Ferguson: preparing, you can separate yourself from the field. Mm-hmm. And I love that. You know, that’s what I see in you every day. You’re like. I’m like, Hey man, you go out and make, you know what I might scrap this week. It might, yeah. You know, you can’t really, really go and do all the fun things, but you’re really not missing out on anything.

Mm-hmm. ’cause your goals are there. Yes. So. How about when the kids and stuff that you’re kind of bringing in there and the competitors that, you know, people are hobbyists that want to be competitors and whatnot, how do you help them build [00:19:00] their identity based confidence? Yeah. You know, not just outcome hype, like, everyone’s like, oh, hit a triangle.

Like, dude, I haven’t submitted anybody in that room at the level, that room anyways. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ever. Yeah. Right. And I, I love that. I’d walk in, I tell you about my walk up. To the academy and I park far away. You guys always make fun of me. You’re like, why do you park so far away? I’m like, one, I’m older than everybody.

I need the cardio warm up jokingly, but I’m really walking in there, setting my attention. ’cause then when I’m on the clock, I’m an alpha, right? Yep. I mean, I have eight employees that that lean on me and I’m, but when I walk in that room. I’m a student. I’ve gotta have that. That’s right. So how, what do you kind of pour into them to help them level up their confidence and build their I their no identity?

’cause they’re gonna get an identity in Chi Getsu. Yes. No matter what.

Eric Alequin: Well, for kids, for kids, I would say just, it has to be fun. I’ve seen too many, too many kids come in the gym, five years old. Training five days a week doing, [00:20:00] doing things that adults are doing. And then by the time they hit their teenage years because their parents have pushed them so hard, they quit.

So I say for kids, she wrestling to your mother. Yeah. For kids. Keep it fun until they say, mom, dad, you know, we, we want to take this serious for adults. I’m always telling the adults like, don’t focus on whether you got a submission, whether you’re, whether you got submitted. Set goals. You need to set small goals, and preferably those goals need to be geared towards what you’re not as good at.

So. I, I always tell people I don’t play my A game, so I don’t play my best a game when I’m, when I’m in the gym, I, I wanna play like something that I’m not good at, so I can level up that skill. And then you start to see that you’re leveling up all these different attributes instead of focusing on, on one thing.

So I would say for adults, mainly go in the gym every day with goals. Hey, um, I suck at. This escape. So let me put myself in this escape. And you have to toss your ego aside. Yes. Because you’re gonna, you’re gonna [00:21:00] get tapped out. You’re gonna get submitted, and you just have to. You have to be okay with it.

Gary Toin, one of the most prominent grapplers around. They say he’ll get submitted 15, 20 times mm-hmm. In a session and then you go see him compete. He’s never really been submitted in competition. So just shows

L. Scott Ferguson: everybody. That’s how you guys get me ready. Yes. Like I go in there, you guys toy with me and the guys, I’m, you know, I go 2 45, 2 50.

Eric’s right around, we’ll we will just say two bills. Yes. You know, 200 and it’s like, and all the guys are smaller than me. There’s just different levels to the game. And I walk in there with just humble humility, being a big guy when they first see you, like, oh my gosh, he’s gonna try to smash me. I just don’t, man.

I’m there to learn that, that, that’s the biggest thing is if, if you can learn and take it with you, that’s what it’s about. And when everything’s on the line and, and your scrap life that you have like. Is, is there like any words or mantras that you kinda say to yourself before you step into that battle?

Or is there, like, what are [00:22:00] you saying to yourself?

Eric Alequin: One, one that comes out immediately is, everything works out for me. Everything works out for me. So I just, I just tune out all the noise. Everything works out for me. I’m ready. I’m sharp, I’m strong, I’m fast. I just, your, your brain’s going to hit you with negative things.

Yeah. It’s designed to protect you. So it’s, it’s trying to stop you from this experience, right? And you just, God has blessed you with a conscious mind and you have to use your conscious mind and you, I, I won’t say you can get rid of those thoughts, but you can. Choose to put your focus on certain thoughts.

So Right. Let those negative thoughts roll through and, and hold on to the good things that are coming in.

L. Scott Ferguson: Right. And I know it kinda stinks that you, sometimes you have to fight people, you know, and the last scrap that you had didn’t really go our way. Mm-hmm. With that. Right. With that. And shout out to him and, yeah.

Yeah. You, you work with that on the ground and, and help him out so. After that, I don’t call ’em losses, I call ’em learning experiences. Right. What was the first thing you kind of said to yourself? [00:23:00] Literally like, yeah, like, I dunno if we could put that in the radio. I lost like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Eric Alequin: As soon as the bell ran, I’m like, if I lost, you know, you just, you just feel it like, I didn’t do enough.

It was close, but I didn’t do enough. And as a fighter, you gotta learn to deal with that too. You know, those losses you can. They can, uh, they can swallow you up, man. You can just be like, oh, maybe, you know, again, back to the brain, the medieval brain, oh, this isn’t for me. Maybe I, I did this. Yeah. You just have to have this discipline that.

That’s why I watch all these greats because they’ve had so many, so many, uh, things to overcome. You got Muhammad Ali with a, a layoff, went to prison. You got George for foreman, a decade layoff in the boxing game. Mm-hmm. And he can’t, comes back and wins the heavyweight title. So I use those guys as my inspiration, you know, you know, it’s not done, it’s not over.

They did it. They’re human like me. I can do it. So,

L. Scott Ferguson: yeah. And we’re, we’re lining you up, you know? Yeah. And your support systems. Untouchable. Yep. With [00:24:00] Tubby and then obviously the team and everybody else. And that’s what we’re excited for you to just get back out there and do your thing and thank you for answering that question.

Yeah, yeah. You know, it’s a tough one sometimes. Alright, we’re can do a little lightning round, man. You got like less than five seconds to answer these questions. They can all be answered. Are they one

Eric Alequin: word? Are they one word?

L. Scott Ferguson: I know the first one will definitely be one word. Okay. Okay. But after that it’s uh, actually a lot of ’em are one word.

So. All right. You ready to level up? Yes

Eric Alequin: sir.

L. Scott Ferguson: Okay. So. I should preface this in the Juujitsu game there’s GH where you have to wear the kind of the pajamas and there’s no GH where you get to wear, you know, rash guard we call it. So Eric gh

Eric Alequin: or no gh? No gh I knew. Go there. Easy

L. Scott Ferguson: peasy. Uh, first person you text after a big win.

My mom love it. Favorite submission to hit in a competition triangle. Love it. She got me on one yesterday, jerk. Awesome. Oh, you’re okay, Ferg. You’re okay. Can you breathe? Um, one song that instantly puts [00:25:00] you in the zone. Oh my God. James Brown. Super bad. Love it. Best advice, Tubby Your wife has ever given you clean the bathroom.

No, no, I’m kidding. You can do it. Love it. Yeah. She believes in you bro. Yeah, the looks on her face and your competing is beautiful. So what’s one thing white belts do that drives you crazy?

Eric Alequin: Walk barefoot off the mats. Yeah.

L. Scott Ferguson: Does. So if you were not fighting or coaching, what do you think you’d be doing?

Eric Alequin: Yeah, honestly I feel like I’d be in a professional football league or something.

Probably some type of sport. You, you played

L. Scott Ferguson: pretty well. High level there too. Alright. One word that describes your mindset on Fight Day. Determined. Love it. If you could roll with anyone from history, you know, rolling Squad is, you know, having a competition on in grappling, if you could roll with anyone in history, who would it be?

Eric Alequin: I gotta go with the current best guy, Gordon Ryan, to be honest.
