About this episode

Former music executive Kuti Mack joins Jonnie Jensen to detail his transition from the heights of the recording industry to a life dedicated to fatherhood and physical optimization. Mack recounts his time at Bad Boy Records working with Sean Puff Daddy Combs and managing projects for legends like Prince and Amy Winehouse before the digital disruption of Napster forced a total career reinvention. This shift from the music world to health coaching serves as a blueprint for fathers seeking to align their professional output with personal values.

Kuti Mack and Jonnie Jensen break down the mechanics of the Super Dad Workout, a twelve-minute high-intensity routine designed to mitigate the chemical stress of modern life. Mack advocates for the use of masticating juicers to preserve nutrients in spinach and cucumber blends, while Jensen outlines the Hero Academy approach to building emotional bonds with children like Mack’s daughter, Emanuelle. The discussion provides specific strategies for overcoming procrastination and using Tabata-style training to maintain the energy levels required for active parenting.

Beyond the physical metrics, Kuti Mack shares his philosophy on the power of now and the ability to restart a failing day at any moment. He reflects on the resilience gained from surviving industry upheavals and personal trauma, offering listeners a 15-minute consultation to find their own purpose. The conversation captures Mack’s infectious energy as he explains why his current memorabilia serves as a bridge between his past at the Grammys and his future in the fitness sector.

Kuti is from Nigeria, well his parents are from Nigeria he was born in Scotland lived in London then moved to the States where he's lived in Washington Atlanta LA and I think he's discovered A secret to eternal life because he reveals that he's nearly 50 and, er, and he certainly looks a lot younger than that. Which he puts down to juicing! As you know if your'e a regular listener I love my juice in myself but Kuti sets me straight on putting fruit in my juice so... Things ya learn eh? Things ya learn. But at least I can eat an apple still. Er, reinventing yourself is so important not because what your doing right now is wrong or bad or crap

02:46 We only get one life and if you're at a crossroads, if you've been putting up with something that ultimately isn't fulfilling you. Isn't giving you the results or the experience that you want then by all means work on it try and transform it but once that thought really digs in you know starts to niggle away at you like the idea of am I doing the right thing? Am I doing the right thing don't ignore Kuti mentions a couple of times about finding your purpose. Well, you find your purpose in looking at your passions and commitments, your values and if your work isn't really aligned with those things if your relationship is not aligned with those things then it will cause friction in your life, in your mental health It will drain you of energy and positive thoughts let alone feelings towards others

03:42 Reinventing yourself is vital and whether that is a career, which is the obvious one we jump to or as Kuti mentions it could be your fitness.

So there is one thing right but then I saw you have your 6-Week Super You program and you know you mentioned about being your best reinventing yourself these are themes that are so in

05:21 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You. fits into that perfectly. So just for some context so we can feel all cuddly and together Kuti, where are you from? Where do you live right now? Alright! So where I'm from is always a loaded question. My parents are Nigerian my mother spent time in the UK and she did nursing school in Scotland. So I was born in Glasgow Scotland moved to London from London came to the States

06:09 Early enough to lose my accent and have been in the States ever since. Pretty much been on the East Coast, Washington DC area mostly I bounced around in between there but always kind of find myself back in D.C Yeah and you have a daughter correct? I do Emanuelle she's amazing 7 going on 27 She is gorgeous she's the best of both her parents And yeah she's the light of my life Yeah, I love that age. There's just so much innocent kind of fun around 6, 7, 8. They can fully talk they're old enough to know what they want you can enjoy a bit of a routine favorite programs swimming and there is humor in this so much humor in the relationship Yes it's amazing watch their personality develop although when I backtrack its always been there even at 3 months old theres a twinkle in her eye that has always remained

07:10 It's a light on her that people, that don't even know us see when they just observe her. And now like you said the fact she has opinions the fact she can express those opinions and especially She's at an age where she still trusts enough of what's going on around her to just be frank Yeah So When love is expressed that frankly it's disarming Did you find out The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You Usually the next sentence isn't, he just won the lotto and he's a billionaire. It's like man you died of COVID or it is always that and so when it came down to the gender reveal I was like as long as this child is healthy I would prefer to just not know until that moment because that's one surprise you can control

08:20 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

08:59 It was like my life, I remember now it's like everything just froze and all my entire intention in life is focused just right there. Boom! I got goosebumps. I remember the moment I realized oh my gosh one day i'm gonna walk her down the aisle. It brought me to tears as I was driving my car Yeah man they're always a bunch of memories that I consciously think of now that I just want to make sure...like I realize how The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

09:46 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You You step an inch or further away from your parents, you know. Even if you love them even if you care, you just want to be your own person but if you've done your job properly as a parent there'll come a point where it boomerangs and start inching back to your parents and um... If you're fortunate enough have that relationship And that's the kind of relationship I definitely wanted to have with my daughter so So I literally curate her life on purpose giving her space to be herself but uh

CHAPTER 03 / 13 Discussion

Building Relationships with Children through Quality Time

Jonnie Jensen highlights the necessity of establishing strong emotional connections with children while they are young to avoid distance during their teenage years. He advocates for the "Hero Academy" approach, which involves dedicated quality time, such as two hours a week and annual one-on-one weekends. The discussion focuses on the "habit of moments" and showing genuine interest in a child's daily life and hobbies.

hero academy· parenting· quality time· teenagers· connection

10:31 But always just reminding her that I love her and that she can trust me. I love that Kuti, and I echo it as such important thing And I'll say this point before we move on is when i'm working with dads and they're teenagers their kids becoming teenagers and they suddenly start to talk about oh why? I don't feel like I've got a relationship with them They don't talk to me. I was like well have you always spoken to him? They're like what do you mean? Right so the importance of creating that relationship when they're young Saying I love you regularly, hugging. You know physical contact in that regard and being interested in stuff they do knowing their dollies names Knowing their favorite soccer team football team What kind of so...you know being able to sing along to the songs that they're listening too like it's tiny But it's also huge because it's creating that connection whereby They feel that their daddy knows them is interested in them

11:29 And of course that taps into creating quality time on a regular basis. It's in the Hero Academy around relationships both with a partner and with our children is dedicate that quality time, I know two hours a week and then a day every like eight weeks And you know, it kind of crank out so at least once a year you're spending the whole weekend with that person one on one whether it's dedicating time for your partner or dedicating time for your children. So vital! Yeah I agree and um... You know It's about creating and maintaining the habit of moments

Kuti Mack's Music Industry Career and Digital Transition

Kuti Mack reflects on his successful career in the music industry and the "industrial revolution" caused by the rise of MP3s, Napster, and streaming services. He explains how the digital age devalued music and changed the financial landscape of the business, leading to a decline in professional satisfaction. This shift served as a primary catalyst for his eventual transition into the fitness and nutrition sectors.

13:06 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You Yeah, yeah. The little things matter. Well that sort of segues really neatly into being present to who we are and what we're doing and the reward like the personal rewards that gives us one of the themes that's very central to all your work is about reinventing yourself? Correct! I tell you all the time

14:15 People don't see it as such, but when it dawned on me that every single person that comes to me as a client is actually seeking a reinvention. They might be someone who I used to be so fit and so strong. I morphed into this person that I don't recognize in the mirror and I need to reinvent who I am right now whether it's to reinvent myself back into someone who's in shape or reinvent my energy or reinvent my body mass whatever it is for my mindset like I just...I'm not motivated The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

15:03 You made a significant career change, I can see behind you if anyone is watching on the lives. We've got some of Kuti's music career memorabilia.

The Jonnie Jensen Show, 6-Week Super You, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You, Kuti Mack,

15:46 The industry went through an industrial revolution with the digital age. So when MP3s and Napster, streaming and all that stuff started The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You What and who you heard, etc. When you got it, distribution all of that now a record can be made in someone's basement thrown on SoundCloud and go viral yeah and the late and the industries have to chase that And they sort of corralled it a little bit but there was a nasty transition in there and so all of that contributed to The gig becoming not what it was

16:44 And in some instances, one thing it did was devalue the game. So now the premium for music you know like like now you can pay $1299 and just stream stuff at you know ad nauseam whereas back in a day you had to buy every single purchase every single sing every album so The money changed...the work did not And The Jonnie Jensen Show, 6-Week Super You, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You, Kuti

18:22 And for me, I found that my purpose was helping. Now when I was in the industry, when I was in the music industry before... ...I did feel like I was helping people because everywhere I showed up people would be happy to see the artist that I had with me or hear the new music that I was presenting and getting on the radio or getting videos played Or even while performing you know people come to this show and be entertained! When that didn't seem as much of a case The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

Overcoming Fear during Career Transitions

The discussion explores the difficulty of reinventing oneself and the role of fear as a self-protective mechanism during career changes. Kuti Mack admits that while some of his transitions were intentional, others were dictated by external situations that forced him to adapt. He encourages listeners to pursue paths that "rhyme" with their purpose, noting that even failed steps forward provide valuable clarity.

21:29 People take too long though to realize that they've got a transition, they've got to reinvent themselves. So if someone's struggling with I used to like this but i think now as I can see a place for me where I'm going to retrain as a fitness coach and retrain nutritional expert and guide you had Jonnie Jensen, 6-Week Super You, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack,

22:17 While I've been fortunate enough to transition and reinvent a number of times all through life, I would be lying if i said that I reinvented with intention and boldness every single time. A lot of times situations just dictated it and I had no choice but to figure it out And there were times where I did take depending on who you ask longer to make those decisions than I should have. Yeah, so if it but what i'll tell you from experience is this when you understand your purpose when you understand who you are right? If you pursue something that rhymes with that even if It doesn't totally work out the step forward in that direction will always benefit you In the very least which you'll find if you step forward and trip up Is that okay That's not for me

23:14 And you'll know no matter what anybody around you pushes you to do or not do, you'll know that I ain't going back to that. No way! Know how because it's not for me. I know it's not for me because I've tasted it for myself but understand... Understand that fear is something that I just now talking like just this is 2021 I hope you have understood, come to grips with why we have this...why we have that emotion. It's a self-protective mechanism but i want to remind you that anything that you're afraid of unless it actually ends so whatever it is that your trying to keep alive if it..unless it ends what your trying to keep alive its not nearly as bad as you anticipate

CHAPTER 07 / 13 Discussion

Procrastination, Stress Management, and Living in the Present

Kuti Mack shares his personal struggle with procrastination regarding professional recertifications and how he shifted to a "bite-sized" workload to eliminate stress. He offers a perspective on overcoming past trauma by recognizing that surviving the "worst thing" proves one's resilience. Amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 era, he emphasizes the importance of focusing on being one's best in the present day.

24:11 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You And you get a decent grade on it, you know. You get a decent mark on it and what I started to realize when I was in college...I was like, you know what? If I just had stepped into it with that intention six weeks ago, yeah! I've either done it six weeks ago and one night or could have parceled it into small little manageable bite-sized portions of work and just kind of chipped away at it and been done with it with zero stress. Yeah

24:54 And that's the fact is zero stress. Over those six weeks, you'd have been carrying confidence momentum positive energy as opposed to the anxiety of it's got to be done it's gotta be done I've got less time I'm thinking about it now as a personal trainer and nutritionist to keep my certifications up I have to do these biannual recertifications and not going either through this one huge test or like a zillion of these small quizzes right So I usually what I'd done was what I just said you shouldn't do. You take a weekend and just hunker down and just for hours on end, just do these bloody tests right now. What I'm doing this time is I just set the thing so if I just do two of these a day in about it'll take maybe 40 minutes stress-free while watching TV and I can knock these things out because I know the material. So I just knocked these things out and when it comes time for the due date

You got it in your head yeah okay now the fact that you can think about it means that you already passed The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

27:36 So when you step into a situation and there's fear, I understand it. Trust me! I absolutely understand it Now for me what I'm doing is looking at the future like okay for the first time in my life I don't know what tomorrow holds between COVID and all these other things going on...I don't know WHAT tomorrow holds but what I DO KNOW is that I hold today And all I gotta do is be my best TODAY Yeah yeah You can do that too It's such

Health Benefits of the Superdad Lifestyle

Jonnie Jensen and Kuti Mack discuss the systemic benefits of a healthy lifestyle, including increased energy, mental clarity, and improved productivity. Jensen introduces the "Daily Sweat" concept from Team Superdad, which encourages consistent exercise and better sleep.

daily sweat· productivity· energy· mental clarity· hero academy

28:15 Simple mantra or foundation for people to put into their thought process. Left to our own devices, I know we'll come up with negative thoughts, concerns, fears, doubts, stress too busy like it's it's like the worst self-flagellation or you know kicking ourselves in the butt constantly. Our brain What it is to be human will do that to us. But, to have those kind of mantras, have those routines, have those strategies to manage our time and our habits better we can be our best and remove so many of those stresses that people worry about but it's a little bit of action and motivation. And I mean talking about if

29:17 Switch this into the fitness side of things. People's personal success, their health and well-being, the results they want in life... I see it and i bring it into The Hero Academy and we've got our daily sweat inside of Team Superdad to encourage people whatever you're doing wherever you're at eat better sleep well do some exercise because whatever is going on you're gonna feel better from doing those things And so many people struggle to do them. So where, when you can say to someone all the benefits of this are that you're going to have more energy, you're going to think more clearly, you're gonna be less snappy with people who are gonna be more creative. You're gonna get more done. You're gonna be more productive like the benefits just keep coming and keep coming and come in

30:09 But yet people still opt for the unhealthy lifestyle and sticking with the job they don't love. How, as people are listening to this there'll be resonating with some of that? How can people start to move towards achieving these things having a healthier lifestyle thinking more positively and starting to create the life that they desire what do you do with your clients to take them on that journey So, what I do with my clients? I arm them with three things. I arm them with super foods, super facts and super moves. Super foods are the foods that while there's a whole bunch of healthy foods, there are some foods within even the healthy food spectrum that are healthier than others. There're some foods to get you where you want to go on your program

Juicing Vegetables and Masticating Juicer Benefits

Kuti Mack advocates for vegetable juicing, specifically using spinach and cucumber, as a primary "super food" method. He distinguishes between blending smoothies and juicing, recommending the use of a masticating juicer over centrifugal models to preserve nutrient quality. Jonnie Jensen shares his own evolution from using a Nutribullet to a masticating juicer to avoid bloating and improve health.

32:00 Okay, so give us some of these superfoods. What's... So one of my favorite superfoods is actually a method of consuming food which is juicing I like juicing vegetables. Love juice!

CHAPTER 10 / 13 Discussion

The Super Dad Workout and Tabata Training

Jonnie Jensen describes the "Super Dad Workout," a 12-minute equipment-free routine consisting of press-ups, sit-ups, and "super burpees." Kuti Mack supports this high-intensity approach, referencing the 5K Park Run culture and the effectiveness of 20-second "all out" bursts followed by 10 seconds of rest. The goal is to provide an accessible, age-appropriate fitness level that allows fathers to stay active with their children.

super burpees· park run· tabata· bodyweight exercise· fitness

36:41 Because I do Park Run in the UK, which is a free 5K run. Anyone can do it! There's a guy that wins and a guy that loses and no one cares really what the time was for either of them and everybody else in the middle. And so for the Team Super Dad workout, The Super Dad Workout, I was like there has got to be something anyone can do anywhere. It has got to be something that can evolve The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You Press-ups, sit ups and super burpees with the press up and then the jump on. I know from some of the PTs that are involved with Team Superdad you have to be careful with the sit ups give people appropriate exercises for back pain or anything like that so it could be a plank or it could be a crunch but then we do three of those rest for a minute then three more rest and in three more so the whole thing is done within 12 minutes you don't need any equipment you can do whatever

37:44 You end up, I am blowing. Despite the fact that I am fit as hell those super burpees kill me and now I can do 14 in a minute but still can't get 15 in a minute But the number of press-ups that I'm doing has grown massively from February to here where now my record for all in one go with no knees is 56 I'm close to 60, which is quite impressive. But that as a set of exercises for someone...I can do that anywhere anytime!

38:22 Is that enough of it? What can you say about getting a minimal amount of exercise in each day to transform your level of fitness, not become super fit or win a race but to be an age appropriate level of fitness as a dad so that you can enjoy life. Enjoy work. Enjoy time with your kids You're hitting the nail right on the head where we're simpatico and this is why I'm so happy i'm on this platform because you lied The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

39:10 Just the fact that you're trying is already going to put you in a separate category. It's like, you talked about that part... That free 5k park run. Yeah yeah! Just the fact that you're out there which you'll find is that whoever came last is out there but they are last of the group who came out there and it's a whole universe of people who aren't even doing that Kuti I love that! The fat kid that came last just beat every other kid that didn't run. So if you're doing this stuff The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You

40:02 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Kuti Mack, 6-Week Super You You pick whatever it is. You make it your super burpees, you make it your push-ups, you make it your squats, you make it whatever it is just as absolutely all out as you can go for 20 seconds because everybody has 20 seconds of energy in them no matter how tired you are and then 10 seconds of rest is just enough for you to collect your breath two or three times and your system to calm down and then do it again at the end of those four minutes actually I'd say somewhere around set five

CHAPTER 11 / 13 Discussion

Managing Chemical Stress through Physical Exercise

Kuti Mack discusses the physiological impact of stress and how he uses exercise to "sweat out" anxiety and heartbreak. He identifies stress, lack of rest, and poor nutrition as the three primary factors that lead to illness. By being in touch with his body's chemical reactions to extreme life situations, he emphasizes the necessity of using physical activity as a tool for emotional and biological mitigation.

41:33 And I just, I talk about the daily sweat because in my dark times as I was rebuilding myself. I literally felt the anxiety, the stress, the upset, the heartbreak...I literally felt it sweating out of me like if they could have Made it, you know like if I could have shined a light on it and seen it would have been like I'd have been sweating pain. Like you know It would have been a You know yucky color or it would have been like but it was coming out of me because he needed to come out of me And yeah stress is real stress is real and um and I've you know, I went through something with my father He had gone into really poor health a few years ago and spent the whole year basically saving his life

42:22 And I've had it come up when some other extreme situations have hit my life where i can realize right now like oh my goodness, even if i'm looking as cool and as a fan on the outside. I mean i'm in touch with my body enough now to even know when it is chemically reacting to stress and so being able to control that or being able to mitigate it or being able like you're saying to release it

43:09 Be as something like exercise is a blessing and it's a gift that it's necessary because stress is one of the three things that will make sure that you get sick. Stress, lack of rest, lack of nutrition anytime even just catch a simple cold if you analyze those three facets of your life what you will see is that one of those things if not two if not all three are out of line yeah and this is the kind of facts you're talking about as a third element? Yeah exactly! I like you man. We're on the same path and look, I want all dads to realize that the life that we desire, that we feel like is being taken away from us, it feels like we are bogged down by the stresses of life

CHAPTER 12 / 13 Discussion

Starting the Day Over and the Power of Now

Kuti Mack introduces the concept that a person can "start their day over" at any moment regardless of how poorly it began. He argues that while the calendar day starts at midnight, the functional day starts when a person decides to be their best. Jonnie Jensen praises this simple approach to habit formation and motivation, noting its application across fitness and personal dedication.

I certainly did, Kuti and I have already got plans to chat again work together when you meet people in life that resonate with you that are on the same wavelength that have the same outlook same goals it's so powerful it's so powerful to create that connection and explore what's possible either just as a friend or as a work associate business partner Falling in love and asking someone to marry you, like don't let those chances go by. It's we are an x billion people on this planet which means that in amongst us all there's going to be people that we connect with on a deeper level and people that we don't connect with at all so be sure to hook up with the right ones Kuti is just a great guy basically and that's what this is all about

50:34 Team Super Dad and The Hero Academy is about putting yourself around other great men, around like-minded dads who are creating life for themselves that they want. Creating a relationship, creating the body, creating the business it's not that you need a huge amount more knowledge its just actually applying what you already know adjusting your habits and routines so that you can be as effective as you want And what we find as humans is that on our own it's very unlikely that we'll see that through, that will stick to it. So put yourself in an environment where success is demanded of you, where accountability is present, where fun and laughter and connection is available. As well as your success one the other important or most important elements of that is that you don't then have those demands

51:33 Those needs, you don't put them on your relationship because it isn't really fair. It isn't really right that your partner has to be your lover, your friend, your motivator, your coach, support network like... Don't put that on them! Allow that to come from other people so you can just get on with making memories having a laugh filling your relationship with passion And really being the team that you need to be to create the relationship of your dreams.
