Being the Biggest Fan of Your Friends — with Eagle McMahon
This episode is a special one. Eagle McMahon is not only one of the most iconic disc golfers on Earth… he’s also one of my favorite humans to watch evolve. From veganism to humanism, from shoulder surgery to a full return of power, from sponsor shifts to Saturn return upgrades—Eagle came through the Breaking Normal Bison Heartquarters ready to fly 🦅We hit the 10 rapid-fire Breaking Normal popcorn questions designed to pull out the real gems, and he delivered. We talked about how the Breaking Normal Podcast has become his go-to listen (with his only advice: make the episodes longer). We explored his upcoming homecoming trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, his work with past Breaking Normal guests like David from Elixium and the power of ancestral superfoods like Shilajit, and how he’s feeling after being one of the very few humans truly happy after shoulder surgery—shoutout to his surgeon Benjamin Sears.One of the most touching parts of the conversation was when Eagle opened up about losing his mom at the age of nine—how it shaped him, how it shaped his dad, and the inner work he’s now exploring to continue deepening his relationship with her spirit. It was raw, real, and one of those moments you don’t forget.We also got into his testosterone journey, changing disc golf sponsors, his wild Saturn return upgrades, and the art of becoming the biggest fan of your friends. We covered his favorite recent Breaking Normal episodes—from Rob Kaplan, Azuraye, Alice at the Goldenhoof, Matt Bernstein, and Benjamin Arthur Duffy, to the entire cast of Breaking Normal legends with some extra respect to Dana White, David Goggins, and his new crushed pepper podcast.And yes… we even talked about his mysterious Eagle Bonuses for Tribe Vitamins.🦬 Get your Eagle Bonus:Add anything from Tribe Vitamins to your cart and use code: EAGLEThis is one of our favorite partnerships ever—and if you’re an Eagle fan, you’re going to want that mystery bonus.⸻FOLLOW EAGLE McMAHON:🕊️ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/eagle_wmcm?igsh=aDl3ZTI4cTFoeDU3&utm_source=qr🎥 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@eaglemcmahon?si=0MypnAUgvnqF_Kch💬 Discord:https://discord.gg/zumNBQ8dy
