Getting After It: Recent Episodes

View Details

Jace Skidmore ran a 4:05 marathon. Years later he ran a 2:53. I wanted to know what actually changed in between, so I sat him down and asked.

Jace is one of the best follows I have in the running space, and today he breaks down the real engine behind his jump, the mental game. We get into the two voices that show up mid-race (one supportive, one straight out of a David Goggins video), his 570+ day run streak with his buddy Brayden, and what it actually looks like to train for a sub-3 marathon while working night shifts as a nurse and raising two kids under three.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Jace's brain splits into two competitors mid-race, and how he uses both
• What actually changed between his 4:05 and his 2:53 marathon
• How he and his wife communicate around training so nobody feels abandoned while raising children
• His recovery protocol on five hours of sleep a night
• What his 570-day run streak taught him about showing up when you don't want to

I walked away from this conversation more locked in than I've been in months. Jace doesn't perform toughness. He just keeps showing up, and the results speak for themselves.

If this episode hits, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and leave a rating on Apple or Spotify. It helps more than you know.

Every week, I pull apart the mental patterns that keep capable people stuck — comfort disguised as patience, avoidance disguised as strategy, mediocrity dressed up as balance. I bring in philosophy, personal stories from the trails and the trenches, and conversations with people who decided to stop waiting.

This isn't a show about hacks. It's about the harder work: getting honest with yourself, building the discipline to act on that honesty, and becoming someone you'd actually respect.

In this episode, I talk about something I’ve been learning the hard way: you can’t rush adaptation.

Whether it’s health, running, work, podcasting, or becoming a father, some things just take time. You can show up. You can do the work. You can adjust the plan. But you can’t force your body or your life to change on your exact timeline.

I’ve been frustrated with slow progress lately, especially with low testosterone, fitness, energy, and rebuilding momentum. But this season has reminded me that slow progress is not the same as no progress.

This episode is about patience, honest effort, and learning how to keep going without pretending the process is easy.

In this episode, I talk about something I've been thinking about a lot lately: what excellence actually means.

For a long time, I thought excellence looked the same every day. Wake up early. Train hard. Work harder. Stay disciplined. Keep pushing.

Then life changed.

My health changed. My energy changed. I'm preparing to become a father. And I realized something that I hadn't fully understood before.

Excellence isn't one fixed standard that stays the same forever.

Every season asks something different of you.

That doesn't mean lowering your character or making excuses. It means being honest about the season you're in while continuing to keep promises to yourself.

In this conversation, I share what I've learned from running, marriage, disappointment, my parents, and the challenges I've faced over the last year. We also talk about why discipline still matters, how to avoid letting your identity become tied to performance, and why your standard should be built on character instead of circumstances.

I don't think the goal is to become someone who impresses other people.

I think the goal is to become someone you respect.

If you've been in a season where life feels different than it used to, I hope this conversation gives you something to think about.

Thank you for listening, and if you enjoyed the episode, I'd really appreciate it if you subscribed, left a review, or shared it with someone who might need to hear it.

Keep Getting After It.

Episode 201 feels like the beginning of a new season for Getting After It.

After 200 episodes, I've been thinking a lot about what growth actually costs. We spend so much time talking about becoming stronger, healthier, more disciplined, better spouses, better parents, and better people. But we don't talk enough about what has to be left behind.

In this episode, I share some lessons I've learned from marriage, running, moving to Utah, starting this podcast, and preparing to become a father. I've realized that every meaningful change asks something from us. Sometimes it's comfort. Sometimes it's old habits. Sometimes it's an identity we've held onto for years.

I also talk about why I think the phrase "just wait" gets marriage and parenthood wrong, how obsession can help us grow but also pull us away from what matters most, and why the future version of ourselves is being built in the small choices we make today.

You don't become someone new without saying goodbye to someone old.

I hope this conversation encourages you to take an honest look at what you're holding onto, what you're willing to sacrifice, and who you're trying to become.

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if you know someone with a story worth sharing, send them my way. I'm excited for this next chapter of the podcast and for more conversations with people who are trying to grow, struggle, and get after it right alongside us.

Episode 200. I started this show with one microphone, a laptop, and no real idea what I was doing.

This one is harder to record than a race recap. My testosterone is back down to 136, and I feel it. Workouts that used to be warm-ups wipe me out now. On the hard days, my mind whispers things I'd rather not hear. Underneath all of it: I'd been treating my output as my identity.

I walk through five lessons from the last hundred episodes, including what Knives Monroe told me about creating before you're ready, what Mason Wright's story at mile 20 taught me about endurance, and what the Stoics got right about where your power is in a hard season.

This show has only happened because of you. I have learned so much from hosting the podcast and for that, I must say thank you.

Keep Getting After It my friends. Here's to 100 more.

Ally likes to do hard things in hard seasons. Which is why she competed in a Hyrox while being 26 weeks pregnant.

She went in without a watch, without a time goal, and without a plan. Her only job was to finish. Running had been wrecking her pelvis for months. The week before the race she ran eight miles and could barely walk for three days after. She taped up her belly with KT tape, asked a stranger in the warm-up area what weights they were using, and went anyway.

I was more nervous than she was. She spent the day on the couch watching a movie.

We talk about what pregnancy fitness actually looks like, adapting when your body isn't where it used to be, and why doing a hard thing in a hard season hits different. Ally had tough days throughout this pregnancy. Days stuck in bed, workouts that used to feel easy now requiring twice the effort. She didn't complain. She kept showing up, then flew to New York and competed.

She finished with a 2:04. Winston came along for the whole thing.

This one is inspiring to me, hopefully you too. Not because Ally is my wife, but because she proved that attitude it times like this matter more than your physical ability.

In this episode, I talk about the story of ultrarunner, firefighter, father, and author Andy Glaze.

Andy's book, Smile, or You're Doing It Wrong, is about far more than running. It's a story of addiction, trauma, recovery, fatherhood, and rebuilding a life after hitting rock bottom.

What stood out to me wasn't the miles he has run. It was the mindset he developed along the way.

I talk about why movement can help people heal, the difference between motivation and discipline, why suffering doesn't automatically make us stronger, and how small actions can slowly rebuild confidence and identity.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, anyone carrying pain from their past, and anyone trying to become a better version of themselves one step at a time.

You don't have to run 100 miles to apply these lessons.

You just have to keep moving forward.

Last week at Pattern Accelerate, I snuck into a talk from James Lawrence because I wanted to hear what drives someone to complete 101 Ironmans in 101 days.

I expected another motivational speech.

Instead, I walked away thinking hard about human potential, suffering, discipline, and the stories we tell ourselves when things get uncomfortable.

In this episode, I break down a few lessons that stayed with me:

• Why most limits are mental before they are physical
• How the next challenge only reveals itself after you face the current one
• The story of Dayton, a boy with cerebral palsy who changed James’ perspective forever
• Why “I get to do this” is more powerful than “I have to do this”
• The bully in your head that tells you to quit
• How discipline is built through ordinary days, not huge moments

I also talk about my own experiences with running, training, podcasting, and learning how to keep going when motivation disappears.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if they’re capable of more.

You probably are.

"This is no time for ease and comfort. It is the time to dare and endure."

Winston Churchill said that in January of 1940. I've been thinking about it for three days, and it isn't about World War II for me. It's about a 5 a.m. alarm I let slip. It's about a race I keep almost signing up for.

This episode is what happens when one line from a Churchill biography exposes the gap between the version of you that you say you are, and the version of you that actually wakes up. I walk through the speech, the context, and the two halves of the equation everyone gets wrong: the dare and the endure. Most people think the dare is the hard part. I'll show you why it's the easier of the two.

What you'll walk away with:

• The Churchill quote, where it came from, and why it still hits
• The honest difference between daring (the decision) and enduring (the daily price)
• Why confidence is a receipt, not a ticket
• The five concrete steps to take this week
• One challenge you can start before you go to bed tonight

I'll be honest, guys. I made this episode for me as much as I made it for you. If you've been blaming the kid, the job, the season, or the timing for the thing you actually want to chase, this one is going to sting a little. That's the point.

If this episode hits, share it with the one person in your life who needs to hear it this week. No commentary. Just send it. And if you've got 30 seconds, leave the show a rating on Apple or Spotify. That one move helps me reach people I'll never meet, and it means more than I can tell you.

Keep getting after it, my friends.

Most people think discipline is about pain tolerance. I don't think that's entirely true anymore.

You don't quit the things you want because they hurt. You quit because they got boring. After my last ultra in October, I pulled the next race off my calendar and dropped into six months of pure maintenance mode.

No countdown. No target. Shoes on the couch and the version of me who didn't want to lace them up. This episode is what I learned sitting in that room.

What you'll walk away with:

• Why pain is easy to narrate and boredom isn't
• The specific muscle modern life has been starving
• One line from Pascal that hasn't aged a day in 400 years
• A short story about my dad that reframed the whole topic for me
• Five reps you can run this week to build boredom tolerance
• A challenge I'm asking you to take and report back on

A personal note before you hit play. I'm not preaching from the mountaintop on this one. I'm in the middle of the climb, and the maintenance block has been the hardest training I've done in years. If it lands, send it to the one person you were thinking of while you read this.

Subscribe if you haven't. Five stars on Apple or Spotify if you've got a minute. Share it with someone who keeps quitting things in the flat middle. The DMs are open.

Most people treat fear like a stop sign. They call it wisdom. They call it patience. It's usually neither.

Fear shows up before everything worth doing.

The race you've been avoiding, the conversation you keep postponing, the thing you've been circling for years. The problem isn't the fear. It's that you've never learned to read it.

Fear comes in two forms, and if you can't tell them apart, you'll spend your life retreating from things you should be running toward. (Protectional & Directional)

In this episode:

• Why fear feels identical in your body whether it's protecting you or pointing you somewhere
• The difference between protective fear and directional fear — and how to tell them apart in real time
• A three-question framework to cut through the noise when the thoughts get loud
• What happens to your capacity for courage every time you retreat from directional fear
• Why the commitment moves you when the confidence doesn't

I'm also sharing something personal at the end of this one. Something I've been sitting with. Stay with me for the close.

If this episode hits, send it to one person who needs it. You already know who.

Subscribe so you don't miss the next one. And if you're getting value from the show, a rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify takes thirty seconds and it matters more than you'd think.

I set out to run a half marathon this weekend. I made it ten miles. My leg told me to stop. And for once, I listened. That didn’t sit well with me.

I’m doing everything right right now. I’m running my miles. I’m lifting. I’m stretching. I’m eating well. I ended the week at forty seven miles. And still, something feels off.

That’s what this episode is about.

What do you do when you’re putting in the work, but progress slows down?

I talk through what happened on that run, the frustration that comes with it, and the thoughts that show up when things don’t feel like they’re working. This is not about motivation. It’s about what to do when effort and results don’t match.

I get into:

• Why progress doesn’t feel smooth, even when you’re consistent
• The mental spiral that comes when things feel off
• How to tell the difference between pushing and making things worse
• What it actually means to adjust instead of quit

This is for anyone who feels like they’re doing the work but not seeing it yet.

I trained for a sub-three marathon, hit it, and spent the next several weeks barely able to walk without my hips locking up. I did everything right. Trained hard, stayed consistent, crossed the finish line. My body broke down anyway.

This episode is about what I got wrong, what the research says about training volume and long-term durability, and why most runners are one bad training block away from learning this the hard way.

You'll walk away with:

• Why skipping strength training costs you years of running, not just one race
• The science behind easy days and why yours probably aren't easy enough
• A 2023 European Heart Journal study on lifelong endurance athletes that genuinely surprised me
• A simple training framework built for the runner you want to be at 50, not just at your next finish line

I want to run a marathon with my son one day. That goal changed how I train. I hope this episode does the same for you.

If it helped, share it with one runner who needs to hear it. Rate the show on Apple or Spotify. Takes 30 seconds.

Most people quit their habits right before they start working.

I recorded this episode after watching a close friend pull himself out of a year of isolation. He started with small inputs. A walk outside. A phone call. A real meal. He stacked them day after day, and slowly, he's coming back.

That experience forced me to confront something I have lived through myself. The habits that keep you steady rarely feel like progress. They feel like nothing. Until you stop doing them. Then you feel exactly what they were holding together.

In this episode, I break down the “invisibility problem” and show you why exercise, sunlight, and real human connection are not optional upgrades. They are structural. You will also hear the biology behind these habits, including how they impact your brain, your mood, and your baseline state without you noticing it in real time.

I share a personal stretch where I drifted from connection and felt the consequences, plus the simple actions that pulled me back. I also walk through how identity forms through repetition, not intention, and why most people quit in the gap between action and belief.

If you feel stuck, flat, or off, this episode gives you a practical path forward. No overhaul. No perfect plan. Just small inputs that compound.

In this episode:

• Why good habits feel invisible until they disappear
• How exercise, sunlight, and connection act as load-bearing systems in your life
• The neuroscience behind daily habits and mental health
• A personal story of drifting and rebuilding connection
• How small actions rebuild identity over time
• Three simple actions you can start this week

If this resonated, share it with someone who needs it. Leave a review on Apple or Spotify. It helps more than you think.

Most people never make the choice. They tell themselves they're being patient, being strategic. But if you get honest, it's fear wearing a responsible disguise.

In this episode, I walk through the myth of Achilles and why his story maps almost perfectly onto the war most of us are fighting right now. The choice he made. The rage that pulled him off the battlefield. The friend he lost that finally moved him. And the heel he knew about his whole life that he never protected.

I also get personal about the moments I've stood at the same crossroads. Sitting at my college desk too afraid to take the classes I actually wanted. Gatekeeping running because my ego needed the edge. Throwing up every quarter mile in an Arizona ultra while Ally ran beside me and refused to let me quit. And the one weakness I already know about that I haven't fully dealt with yet.

You'll walk away with:

• A framework for recognizing when you're choosing comfort without actually choosing it
• An honest look at how pride keeps you sitting out when people around you need you in the fight
• The Achilles Audit: three questions to find your heel before it finds you
  • Where are you choosing the long quiet life without ever actually choosing it?
  • Who are you sitting out on right now because your ego is wounded?
  • What's your heel?

If you've been stalling on something you know you're capable of, this one is for you.

January 2023. Start line. Wrong shoes. One unofficial training run to my name. I ran the half marathon anyway and it taught me more than any race I was actually prepared for.

This episode is about the lie of readiness. The way "I'm not ready yet" becomes the most sophisticated excuse high achievers use to avoid starting the things that matter.

I share three stories: a race I ran before I understood how racing worked, a job I quit without a plan, and the two years I waited to start this podcast — and what that delay cost me.

In this episode:

• The feeling of "not ready" is a threat response, not an accurate reading of your capacity
• The difference between strategic patience and indefinite delay — and how to tell which one you're in
• Five specific actions you can take this week to start the thing you've been circling
• Confidence is a by-product of starting, not a prerequisite for it

In five months I'm going to be a dad. No book prepares you for that. This episode is me working through what it means to commit to something before you feel ready; live, in real time.

If this one lands, share it with one person who's been sitting on something they need to start. And if you haven't rated the show on Apple or Spotify, that's your one ask — 30 seconds, and it helps more people find this.

Keep getting after it, my friends.

Every week, I pull apart the mental patterns that keep capable people stuck — comfort disguised as patience, avoidance disguised as strategy, mediocrity dressed up as balance. I bring in philosophy, personal stories from the trails and the trenches, and conversations with people who decided to stop waiting.

This isn't a show about hacks. It's about the harder work: getting honest with yourself, building the discipline to act on that honesty, and becoming someone you'd actually respect.

Keep getting after it.

I spent most of my life trying to outrun suffering. A brutal 24-mile training run, months of unexplained illness in my early twenties, and a long fight with depression taught me I had it backwards.

Suffering is not the obstacle. It is the work.

In this episode I break down what suffering is actually for; why most people either avoid it entirely or grind through it without collecting what it owes them, and what changes when you stop treating hard things as interruptions to your life and start treating them as the thing that builds it.

What you will walk away with:
— Why your mind puts a ceiling on you long before your body needs one
— How to find something good on the darkest days (and why that skill compounds)
— The one thing that makes suffering heavier every time — and how to stop doing it
— What Epictetus, Cameron Hanes, and Churchill understood about hard seasons that most people miss

If you are someone in your 20s or 30s who knows your are capable of more but keeps getting in his own way, this episode is for you.

I crossed the finish line at 2:56 and couldn't walk right for weeks. Sub-three marathon, shot hip flexors, and a lesson I should have learned a long time before that parking lot.

Going fast has a price tag. You just don't see it at the finish line.

In this episode I'm getting honest about three places I went out too hard too early: a race, a training block, and this podcast, and what each of them cost me. This is about learning to tell the difference between the pace that looks good and the pace that actually gets you there.

Ally and I are expecting, and something she said recently stopped sparked the idea for this episode. It changed how I'm thinking about pacing far beyond running or work. Some miles you get back. Some you don't.

What you'll take away from this episode:

• Why the cost of going too hard almost never shows up when you expect it
• How the ego sets a pace that serves your image instead of your goals
• The one question I ask myself before every episode that changed how the show grew
• Why patience and low effort are not the same thing
• Five specific actions you can take this week to recalibrate your pace

If you've ever burned out before the finish line, felt behind on a goal, or wondered whether pushing harder is actually the move, this one is for you.

You're not stuck. You know exactly what you need to do, you just haven't decided to do it yet. And that's costing you more than you think.

In this episode, I take you inside one of the most pivotal moments of my life: a hotel room in Hollywood, California, where the weight of months of avoidance brought me to my knees. What happened next changed everything, because I finally made the decision I'd been walking past for months.

I dig into why the feeling of being "stuck" is actually a story we tell ourselves, the real cost of living in limbo, and exactly how to make a decision when you don't feel ready. This one's going to hit home.

What you'll walk away with:

• Why "stuck" is a story, not a state — and how to see through it
• The true cost of indecision (it's not just time)
• Why loss aversion and ego protection work together to keep you exactly where you are
• How to make a decision before you have the full plan
• Five specific actions you can take this week to stop avoiding and start moving

If there's a decision you've been treating like a situation, I hope this helps.

If this one hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you haven't left a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify yet, it takes 60 seconds and it genuinely helps.

There is a version of you that already knows what it needs to do.

It knows the race to sign up for, the conversation you've been avoiding, the thing you keep circling. It's waiting on the other side of something uncomfortable.

The hard things are coming whether you're ready or not. The only question is whether you've been training for them — or hiding from them.

In this episode, I'm getting into something I think about more than almost anything else: voluntary discomfort. Why the hard things you choose on purpose are the exact things that prepare you for the hard things life throws at you without warning.

This isn't a bro culture episode. It's not about suffering as a personality. It's personal — and I think it'll say something about your life too.

What you'll walk away with:

• A framework for understanding voluntary vs. involuntary discomfort — and why the first category is the only training ground for the second
• The real reason most people avoid hard things (it's not laziness — it's a misread of what fear is actually telling you)
• Why building discomfort tolerance is a trainable skill, not a fixed trait — and how to start building it this week
• The story of my friend Brayden Galbraith, who runs every single day and is training for the Leadville 100 — and what his example says about showing up in every area of life
• Five specific, low-barrier actions you can take this week to start building capacity for hard things

I share a story from my own life in this one that I haven't talked about much — the version of me in high school who faked injuries to sit out practice and searched for answers online instead of doing the work. That guy cost me something. This episode is about making sure he doesn't cost you something too.

The reason you can't do the hard thing isn't motivation. You can't sit still, and that reflex is quietly eroding your capacity to do anything that matters.

In this episode, I break down why distraction is pain management, not a focus problem, and what it actually costs you to keep reaching for the escape hatch.

From a long training run at mile 10 where the boredom hit hard, to walking through New York and watching hundreds of people miss one of the most alive cities on earth, I wanted to be honest about a habit most of us don't even realize we have.

You'll walk away knowing:

• Why your phone habit isn't a willpower problem (and what to do instead)
• How I use a device called the Brick to remove the choice entirely
• What Ally figured out about phones that most people never do, and how you can apply it to your own life
• Why your best ideas are already in you; and what's blocking them
• The 30-minute phone-free challenge to start this week

This is something I've been sitting with for a while, and if I'm being straight with you, I'm just as guilty as you are. Phones are addicting.

But I genuinely believe some of your best ideas are locked inside you right now, and they can't get through when every quiet moment is filled with someone else's content.

If this episode hits you, share it with one person who needs to hear it.

You haven't lost your discipline. You've lost your energy. And those are two completely different problems that require two completely different solutions.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about where I am right now — mentally drained from work, fighting to hold on to the habits that used to come easy — and what I'm learning about why discipline actually breaks down. Not the surface-level stuff. The real reason. The one most people in the self-improvement space won't say out loud.

What you'll walk away with:

• Why willpower failure is usually a depletion problem, not a character problem
• Why discipline is a skill you build — and can lose — just like muscle
• What it actually looks like when discipline becomes your lifestyle (my mom, 5 days a week for 7 years)
• Why sometimes the most disciplined thing you can do is rest
• 5 practical ways to rebuild when you're running on empty

I'm not on the other side of this one yet. I'm in it with you. Let's figure it out together.

The safest decision you ever made might be the one that's quietly destroying you. Comfort doesn't look like weakness, it looks like a steady paycheck, hitting your numbers, and being good at something you hate.

That's exactly what makes it so dangerous.

In this episode, I'm getting personal. Ally joins me as I talk about something I've been struggling with, the slow realization that playing it safe was costing me more than any risk ever could, and what the trails taught me about the kind of person I refuse to let comfort turn me into.

This one isn't theoretical, I'm still in the middle of it.

What you'll walk away with:

• How to recognize the comfort trap before it's taken years from you
• Why your fear of risk is probably aimed at the wrong thing
• The honest questions to ask yourself when something needs to change
• How to move with intention instead of just blowing everything up
• One simple challenge to take back control, this week

I'm not through this yet, guys. But that's exactly why I wanted to talk about it. If you're sitting with that quiet feeling that something needs to change, this episode is for you.

If this one hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it, it genuinely helps more than you know. And if you haven't already, drop a rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It takes thirty seconds and it helps the show reach more people.

Keep Getting After It, my friends.

Loneliness is rising everywhere.

But the problem isn’t that people don’t know anyone. The problem is that most people lack consistent, meaningful interaction.

In this episode of the Getting After It Podcast, Brett shares a personal story about moving to Utah alone, starting the podcast when no one was listening, and the powerful realization that human connection is something we must actively build.

The truth is simple:

If you want a village, you have to be a villager.

This episode explores the psychology of loneliness, the importance of community, and practical strategies you can use to build real friendships in a disconnected world.

You’ll learn:

• Why loneliness is increasing in modern life
• The difference between knowing people and having connection
• How shared effort and struggle build friendships faster
• Why most people are waiting for someone else to initiate
• Five practical ways to build real community

If you’ve ever felt alone, stuck in routine, or disconnected from people around you, this episode will give you practical tools to start building the relationships that make life meaningful.

Because villages don’t appear by accident. They’re built. One conversation, one invitation, and one shared experience at a time.

This week shook me.

Not because I failed publicly.
Not because I got injured.
But because things that used to feel easy suddenly became heavy.

I started a new role. The pressure increased. My mental load expanded. And when I went out to run 30 miles… I only ran 10.

What hurt wasn’t the missed miles.

It was the story my mind told me afterward.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why growth often feels like regression
• The psychology of imposter syndrome
• Performance growth vs. capacity growth
• How stress affects physical output
• How to stabilize when your identity feels threatened
• Tactical ways to manage pressure without unraveling

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re falling behind — when in reality, they may be leveling up.

If you’re in a season where things feel heavier…

Don’t waste it.

Why do intelligent, capable people stay stuck?

In this episode of the Getting After It Podcast, we break down the psychology behind “elegant excuses” — the refined, reasonable-sounding justifications that keep us from taking action. Most people think they need more motivation to grow in their career, improve their health, or level up their life. In reality, they’re often negotiating with themselves in subtle ways that feel responsible… but prevent movement.

I share a personal story about staying in a job longer than I should have, convincing myself that patience and loyalty were strategic. What I eventually realized was simple: no one was going to architect my future for me. Growth requires initiative.

We explore:

• Why indecision often hides fear
• How smart people rationalize delay
• The difference between patience and avoidance
• Why motivation is unreliable
• How hesitation slowly reshapes identity
• The importance of agency in career growth and personal development

Featuring insights inspired by Naval Ravikant and Søren Kierkegaard, this episode dives into how indecision becomes identity — and what it costs over time.

If you feel stuck in your career, training, business, or relationships, this conversation will challenge you to examine whether you truly lack motivation… or whether you’ve simply built a comfortable excuse.

Stop waiting.
Stop negotiating.
Move.

Keep Getting After It.

Most people who think they’re burnt out aren’t actually burnt out. They’re under-recovered.

In this episode of the Getting After It Podcast, we break down why burnout is so often misdiagnosed—especially for men—and how exhaustion, under-fueling, lack of rest, and emotional overload can make everything in life feel wrong.

When you’re under-recovered:

• The work you once loved feels pointless
• Discipline starts to feel heavy instead of grounding
• Motivation disappears
• Quitting feels like the only option

But making permanent decisions while operating in recovery debt is dangerous.

Using endurance training as a metaphor, we explore the difference between true burnout and depletion, why rest alone isn’t always enough, and how intentional recovery—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—can restore clarity before you walk away from something meaningful.

This episode is especially relevant for:

• Men dealing with quiet burnout or emotional detachment
• Runners and athletes pushing without proper recovery
• High performers who feel stuck, flat, or disconnected
• Anyone considering quitting something they once cared deeply about

Before you stop… Before you quit… Recover first. Then decide.

Life doesn’t always teach you the lessons you ask for. Sometimes it teaches you the ones you need.

In this episode, Ally and I sit down for an honest conversation about the season we’re in right now, one that looks good on paper, but feels heavier and different than we expected.

We talk about how discipline changes shape, what happens when old routines stop working, and how learning to stay steady matters more than forcing progress. This isn’t advice from people who have it all figured out—it’s a real conversation from the middle of change.

If you’re navigating a season where your pace has slowed, your priorities are shifting, or the rules that once guided you don’t seem to apply anymore, this episode is for you.

Topics we cover:

• What this season is teaching us (even when we resist it)
• How discipline looks different as life changes
• Letting go of control and learning to trust the process
• Redefining strength during uncertainty
• Staying grounded when progress feels unclear

Sometimes getting after it doesn’t mean pushing harder.
Sometimes it means learning how to stay steady.

Keep Getting After It.

This episode is a Q&A with the Getting After It community.

We talk about running—how to get better, how to recover, and whether running is actually required to become a good runner. But we also go deeper than training.

We cover self-doubt, consistency when motivation disappears, discipline in hard seasons, and what it really means to “get after it” when life isn’t clean or convenient.

These are honest answers to honest questions. Nothing polished. Nothing performative. Just what I’ve learned through running, building this podcast, and trying to show up well in the long game.

If you’re training for something—physically or mentally—this episode is for you.

At some point, every plan stops fitting.

Not because it was bad.
Not because you lacked discipline.
But because life changed.

In this episode of Getting After It, I talk about what to do when the plan you were committed to no longer matches the season you’re in. This isn’t about quitting, lowering standards, or losing momentum. It’s about learning how to adapt without drifting.

We break down:

• Why people struggle when plans fall apart
• The difference between discipline and rigidity
• How to adjust your approach without abandoning your values
• Why emotional decisions are the fastest way to lose direction
• A simple framework for adapting when life pushes back

This episode is for runners, builders, parents, creators—anyone trying to stay consistent while life refuses to stay predictable.

The goal doesn’t disappear when the path bends. But the path will bend! Change the approach if you need to. Don’t abandon the standard.

Keep Getting After It.

Most people don’t choose their life — they drift into it.

In this episode, Ally and I go behind the scenes on how we’re trying to build our dream life with intention, especially in a season where a lot still feels uncertain. We talk about faith, family, discipline, trade-offs, and why “someday” thinking quietly steals your future.

You’ll hear:

• Why goals feel empty when you don’t know what you actually want
• The “perfect day” exercise (and what it reveals about your real priorities)
• The kind of parents we want to be — and how trust is built through communication
• Respect, discipline, and the small habits that shape a home
• Phone distraction, presence, and why we’re trying to build those habits now
• The trade-offs: what we’re willing to sacrifice — and what we’re not
• Gratitude as a foundation (even in waiting seasons)

The Dream Life Framework (5 Questions):

1. What kind of life do I want?
2. What values will define my home?
3. What am I willing to sacrifice?
4. What am I not willing to sacrifice?
5. Who do I want to become in the process?

Becoming successful is hard.
Becoming someone you respect is harder.

In this episode, I break down what character really is, how it’s built over time, and why so many people slowly drift away from who they know they’re capable of becoming. I also talk about values, what they are, why they matter, and how living out of alignment with them quietly erodes self-trust.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about alignment.

We cover:

• What character actually is (and what it isn’t)
• How character is built through small, repeated decisions
• Why forgetting who you are leads to frustration and drift
• What values really mean when life gets uncomfortable
• Examples of values I try to live by in my own life
• Simple, practical habits to build character and stay aligned

My hope is that you leave this episode believing something important: You can still become someone you would’ve looked up to when you were younger, and someone you’re proud of today.

I didn’t set out to run 2,100 miles to learn life lessons.

I ran them chasing consistency, discipline, and progress—and along the way, those miles taught me more than I expected.

In this episode, I share 7 things I wish I knew before running 2,100 miles—lessons about discipline, identity, recovery, patience, and how progress actually works over the long term.

This isn’t just a running episode. It’s about becoming someone you can trust.

We talk about:

• Why motivation fails without structure
• How easy, boring work creates real progress
• Why identity is earned through action, not intention
• The role of recovery in longevity (in training and life)
• Why progress is usually invisible before it’s obvious
• The difference between discipline and stubbornness
• Why there’s no finish line for becoming who you’re capable of being

As Marcus Aurelius wrote: “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.”

Whether you’re a runner, an endurance athlete, or someone trying to live with more discipline and consistency, this episode is for you.

Keep Getting After It.

Most people think identity is a decision. They believe once they feel motivated or clear, they’ll finally become the person they want to be.

But that’s not how identity actually works.

In this episode, I break down why identity is earned through action, not chosen through intention. And why waiting to feel ready is often the very thing keeping people stuck.

We explore:

• Why motivation is unreliable
• How consistency quietly builds identity
• What running taught me about discipline and standards
• Why identity loss doesn’t mean you’re broken
• How action stabilizes the mind when clarity is missing

As Marcus Aurelius said:
“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.”

If you’ve ever felt disciplined at heart but inconsistent in practice, this episode is for you.

Keep Getting After It.

This episode is my honest year-in-review.

Not a highlight reel.
Not a list of wins.
But a real reflection on what this year demanded of me—and who it shaped me into.

In this solo episode of The Getting After It Podcast, I break down what went well, what didn’t, and the lessons that stayed with me. I talk openly about discipline, faith, fitness, losing my job, strengthening my marriage, building the podcast, and learning how to lead myself when things weren’t comfortable.

This year taught me that growth is rarely clean. It comes through effort, discomfort, loss, love, and choosing to stay intentional when it would be easier not to.

In this episode, I reflect on:

• The habits and discipline that carried me through the year
• How fitness revealed what I’m truly capable of
• Why faith, hope, and gratitude matter most during uncertain seasons
• Where I fell short—and what I’m committing to moving forward
• The people who shaped me most
• Who I need to become for the next chapter of my life

This episode is for anyone closing out a year and asking: Did I grow? Did I learn? And how do I move forward with clarity and intention?

If you’re navigating change, building something meaningful, or trying to become a better version of yourself, I hope this reflection helps you pause, take stock, and step into what’s next with confidence.

Keep Getting After It.

What do you do when the thing that keeps you grounded is suddenly taken away?

In this episode of, I dive into the psychological and emotional side of injury recovery—specifically the mental battle that comes when your body forces you to slow down, but your identity is built around momentum.

I’m currently dealing with quadriceps tendinitis, and instead of rushing past it, I wanted to sit inside the experience and talk honestly about what injury really takes from us—and what it can give back if we let it.

We explore:

• Why injury is not just a physical setback, but a psychological event
• The guilt, fear, anxiety, and identity loss that often come with forced rest
• Why recovery is an active skill, not passive laziness
• How high-performing people can stay confident and mentally strong when training is limited
• What sports psychology teaches about mental recovery, mindset, and long-term performance
• How faith, trust, and surrender can play a role when progress feels out of your control

This episode is for any high-performing human navigating a season where things have gone sideways—physically, mentally, or emotionally.

If you’re injured, burned out, or struggling with rest, this conversation will help you reframe recovery as preparation, regain confidence in the process, and remember that this chapter still counts.

Keep Getting After It.

Men make up nearly 80% of suicide deaths. And yet, so many of us suffer in silence.

In this episode, I open up about a chapter of my life I’ve never shared in full — the identity crisis that nearly broke me, the intrusive thoughts I couldn’t escape, and how something as simple as a sunset… started to pull me back.

I talk about:

• Why men often hide their pain
• The connection between identity, stagnation, and depression
• How gratitude isn’t soft — it’s a mental weapon
• The role of running in facing inner chaos
• Why silence is the enemy and vulnerability is strength

Whether you’re in a dark place or trying to support someone who is — this episode may help and I hope it does.

You are not alone.

You are not weak.

And this chapter of your life is not the end of the story.

Keep Going. Keep Getting After It.

In this episode, Ally joins me for a deeply human conversation about the dichotomy of control—what we can change, what we can’t, and why knowing the difference can transform your experience as a runner and as a person.

We begin with a Stoic quote so simple it’s almost easy to ignore: “Some things are up to us, and some things are not.” But embedded in that line is a mental framework powerful enough to carry you through injury, plateaus, heartbreak, loss, and even the days you just don’t want to get out the door.

From the mental spirals we face when progress stalls, to the pressures of comparison and performance, to the weight of grief and infertility, this episode isn’t just about running—it’s about real life.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or someone navigating life’s heavier miles, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to control everything—just your side of the deal.

Takeaways:

• The 4-step framework to regain control mid-run or mid-life
• Why attitude matters more than outcome
• How to break free from comparison and self-judgment
• The power of one more step—especially when everything hurts

Because when all else fails, the question remains: Can you take one more step?

Yes. Then take it.

And keep Getting After It.

What does it actually take to Get After It when your "it" is creative passion? That's what I dug into with this episode's guest, Knives Monroe.

Knives is a creative director and filmmaker who has one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard. We’re talking about a journey that goes from being introduced to film by his mom—realizing "Oh sht, I’m a filmmaker"—to the brutal reality of being homeless* after finishing his first feature film.

We talk about the fear of putting your work out there and the concept he calls "creative poverty"—the struggle many artists face trying to monetize their skills.

If you’re sitting on an idea waiting for it to be perfect, this conversation is your sign.

Mason Wright is not your average ultrarunner. He’s a gym owner, a former 285-pound lineman, and the man behind Worn Legs, a poetic tribute to what it means to suffer on purpose.

In this episode, Mason sits down to unpack the story behind his legendary run across Utah — 421 brutal miles in 9 days — from injuries and windstorms to moments of spiritual clarity with nothing but a headlamp and a horizon.

We cover:

• How Mason went from zero to ultras after tearing his posterior tib
• Why doctors told him he’d never run again — and why he ran anyway
• What it takes to build something meaningful (a gym, a run, a life)
• •The mental war of endurance and the beauty found in worn-out shoes

Mason’s story will inspire you to keep going when everything in your body tells you to stop. Whether you're chasing your first 5K or planning your own epic, this is a masterclass in suffering well.

• Listen to the song Worn Legs on Spotify
• Watch the documentary on YouTube
• Visit his gym: Gain Your Movement (Bountiful, Utah)

Infertility is one of the hardest things to go through. It’s isolating, unpredictable, and often filled with grief that no one else sees.

In this episode, I sit down with my sister-in-law Emeli for a raw, honest conversation about her multi-year journey with infertility—five miscarriages, misdiagnosis, failed treatments, and the heartbreak of being told to “just try again.”

We talk through the emotional weight of loss, how it impacted her marriage to Drew, and the moments she felt broken, ashamed, or abandoned. We also talk about what helped her keep going—faith, vulnerability, medical answers, and showing up for herself one day at a time.

This episode isn’t about advice or answers. It’s about listening. It’s about naming what hurts. And it’s about remembering that no matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone.

Here are the main takeaways:

1. You are not broken. Infertility doesn’t define your worth or your identity.
2. Listening is more powerful than advice. People going through loss need space, not solutions.
3. Faith and support systems matter. Whether it's God, your partner, or a friend, healing starts with connection.

This episode is a little different. It’s a raw, on-the-road conversation with my wife Ally and my brother Drew — recorded before and after we ran the Canyonlands 50K.

We talk about training. We talk about nerves. We talk about pain. And we talk about why anyone would willingly sign up to suffer for 31 miles across the desert.

You’ll hear real stories about what it feels like to hit a wall — and push through it anyway. From cramping legs to surprise hills, stomach issues to sand-covered trails, this race tested us. But it also taught us. That the work matters. That pain passes. And that you really can do hard things.

Whether you’re a runner, a builder, a parent, or just someone trying to level up — this one’s for you.

Three things you’ll take away:

• Why preparation is everything, and how to trust the work you’ve done
• What mental tricks we used when things got ugly
• How suffering with people you love builds stronger bonds

If this hits home, share it with a friend. Then go take a small step toward something hard. The finish line gets closer with every step you take.

I’m days away from running 31 miles through the Canyonlands, my second 50K. On the surface, it’s a race. But underneath, it’s a test.

This training block has been built on five simple but demanding pillars: the work, the fuel, support, consistency, and patience. Each one has tested me. Each one has shaped me. And each one contains a lesson that reaches far beyond running.

In this episode, I break down what those five pillars look like on the trail and in everyday life. From early mornings and long miles, to what we feed our bodies and minds, to the people who hold us up when we’re ready to quit.

Endurance isn’t only about finishing a race. It’s about living with the discipline to do the work, the awareness to fuel yourself well, the humility to accept support, the persistence to stay consistent, and the wisdom to be patient.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life stretches you thin, this episode is for you.

Expect to learn:

1. Why the unglamorous work is the real price of admission for progress.
2. How your “fuel”—food, habits, and mindset—determines your performance in every area of life.
3. Why support, consistency, and patience are often the overlooked foundations of endurance.

What do you do when the plan falls apart?

In this episode, I share the story of a marathon-distance run that didn’t go as expected. My brother Drew and I had mapped out a desert route—then a storm rolled in. Flash flood warnings. Lightning. The whole thing went sideways. But we didn’t quit. We pivoted. We stuck to the plan, even if it meant finishing 26.2 miles on a treadmill.

This episode is about those moments when everything goes wrong and you have to decide: do I fold, or do I keep going?

If you're pushing for something hard right now—this one's for you.

3 Key Takeaways:

• Discipline means doing what you said you’d do—especially when it’s no longer fun.
• You don’t need perfect conditions to follow through. Just the decision to keep going.
• The plan matters. But who you become by sticking to it matters more.

Everyone hits a wall. This episode is about what to do when you do.

When your mind feels heavy. When motivation fades. When you’re not sure what the next step is, or if you’re even on the right path.

I talk about the difference between a bad day and a full-on rut. I share what’s helped me in the past, from movement to mindset to faith. And I walk through a time I almost gave up on this podcast.

If you’ve felt stuck lately, this one’s for you.
No fluff. Just tools, real stories, and a reminder:

You’re not broken.
You’re just stuck.
And you can get unstuck.

I just got back from a cruise with my wife Ally, my family, and some friends. In this episode, I talk about what it felt like to rest, unplug, and try to shift out of “grind mode.” I share how tough it was to stay consistent with training and nutrition, and what it taught me about discipline when you're out of routine.

But more than anything, this trip reminded me why I started the podcast in the first place.

This episode is about the difference between “Get After It” and Getting After It. One is a start. The other is a way of life. If you’re in the middle of your journey—or feel like you’re starting over again—this one’s for you.

This episode is about what happens when life doesn’t give you a choice.

Ally joins me again to talk through how we both deal with hard things—both the ones we choose (like ultra marathons), and the ones we never would (like sickness, infertility, and grief). We share personal stories from our lives—my illness, her father’s cancer, the struggle to start a family—and explore the role that discipline, mindset, faith, and support systems have played in helping us keep going.

We talk about the voice in your head during long runs, the trap of isolation during depression, the importance of service when you're stuck in your own thoughts, and what it really means to suffer with purpose. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a conversation about what it looks like to keep showing up—when things are hard, when life feels unfair, and when you don’t know how or when it ends.

If you’re facing something heavy, I hope this helps.
And if you’re not right now, you will eventually. That’s just how life works.
Prepare for it now.

3 Key Takeaways:

There are two types of hard things: the ones you choose, and the ones you don’t. Chosen suffering (like running an ultra) builds the strength needed for unchosen suffering (like illness or loss).

Self-talk matters. The way you speak to yourself during difficult moments shapes what you believe you’re capable of. Train the voice in your head to be a coach, not a critic.

Faith, service, and connection are not optional. During unchosen suffering, these become lifelines. Depression feeds on isolation. Reach out. Put yourself in good environments. Help someone else.

Why do we do hard things?

In this episode, I break down why discomfort matters and what it does for us in everyday life. Hard is relative—what challenges me may not challenge you, but both deserve respect. We’ll explore how hard things build patience, shape confidence, and inspire those around us. I share stories from my own life—battling fatigue, pushing through burnout, qualifying for Boston—and how those experiences prove that adversity is the most honest teacher.

You’ll hear about:

• Why confidence comes from keeping promises to yourself
• How training in discomfort helps with patience, presence, and resilience
• Why grace and progression matter more than perfection
• How your hard things ripple out to inspire others
• A simple “Discomfort Toolkit” you can use this week

Hard things forge your character. Not in theory, but in practice. And the challenge for you: over the next 7 days, stop fearing the hard. Don’t focus on the effort—focus on the outcome.

Keep Getting After It.

This episode is about three lessons I’ve learned from past guests.

The first is resilience. Dave Daly broke his neck and had to relearn how to live. His story reminded me what it really means to keep going, even when life feels impossible.

The second is reinvention. My brother Blake lost his business and struggled with who he was. He tried different things until he found roping, and it brought him back to life. His story made me think about the times I’ve had to change who I was too.

The third is balance. Jared Lee talked about feeding not just the mind and body, but the heart. That stuck with me. Growth isn’t complete if we leave one part out.

I also share my own struggles — with infertility, with learning to be a better husband, and with putting too much focus on fitness in the past. These lessons aren’t abstract. They’re lived.

And maybe they can help you too.

We’ve been taught to believe that discipline means never missing a step, never falling short, never giving ourselves an inch of slack. But the truth is—grace is what makes discipline last.

In this episode, I explore why being graceful with yourself isn’t weakness, but strength. Drawing on stories from my own ultra marathon training, lessons from the Stoics, and insights from modern thinkers, I’ll show you how grace allows you to stay consistent when perfection would have broken you.

We’ll look at why patience fuels progress, how reframing your perspective can turn setbacks into stepping stones, and the practical steps you can use to build structure around your goals. Whether you’re training for a race, building a business, or chasing personal growth, the path forward is the same: discipline made sustainable through grace.

Three Takeaways:

• Grace doesn’t weaken discipline—it strengthens it by making consistency sustainable.

• Progress isn’t always measured by numbers; sometimes the win is simply showing up.

• Structure, patience, and small daily steps compound into lasting results.

Keep getting after it.

In this episode of Getting After It, I sit down with Dallin Shurts—BYU record holder, Team USA discus thrower, and a man who has learned as much from failure as he has from victory. His story isn’t just about breaking records; it’s about breaking limits. From awkward beginnings on the basketball court to standing on international stages in the discus ring, Dallin has forged his path through discipline, simplicity, and the relentless pursuit of small daily wins.

We explore the unseen work behind greatness, the mindset shifts that separate those who cave under pressure from those who thrive in it, and the timeless truth that success comes from focusing only on what you can control. Along the way, we touch on Stoicism, Stephen Covey, and the paradox of learning to enjoy life’s resistance rather than wishing it away.

Three Key Takeaways

1. Chase the feeling, not the distance — True progress comes from focusing on the quality of your effort, not the outcomes you can’t control.
2. Resistance reveals strength — Getting after it means doing the work when it’s hardest, not when it’s convenient.
3. Keep life simple — Mastering the basics, in sport and in life, creates the space to thrive and enjoy the process.

Running is more than exercise, it’s a teacher.

In this episode, I explore the lessons running offers far beyond the trail: how it strengthens the body, sharpens the mind, quiets the noise of the modern world, and reveals truths about discipline, resilience, and perspective.

I share how running has shaped my everyday life and the way I face challenges. Along the way, we’ll reflect on insights from Stoic philosophers, modern endurance athletes, and thinkers like Chris Williamson, Jocko Willink, and Seneca.

This isn’t just an episode for runners, it’s for anyone seeking a way to face discomfort, train resilience, and reconnect with their inner voice. Because whether your “run” is on the road, in your work, or in your relationships, the lessons are the same: keep going, endure, and find freedom through discipline.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the physical benefits of running are just the beginning.
• How chosen suffering prepares you for life’s unchosen suffering.
• The role of silence in finding clarity and perspective.
• Life lessons about discipline, resilience, and pushing beyond imagined limits.

Running is a metaphor for life—and the road is always waiting.

Change is the only constant, yet it’s often the thing we fight against the most.

In this episode, I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned about change through Stoic philosophy, trail running, and some of life’s hardest moments. From Marcus Aurelius’ wisdom on impermanence to personal stories of setbacks, struggles, and unexpected renewal, this is a conversation about what it truly means to embrace change rather than resist it.

I share what trail running taught me about slowing down, why failure at the Vegas Marathon became one of the most valuable gifts of my life, and how facing my own health challenges forced me to confront reality with humility.

We’ll also look at how figures like David Goggins, my wife Ally, and past podcast guests have embodied resilience in the face of massive life shifts.

If you’re going through a transition—whether it’s in relationships, health, work, or simply your own self—this episode will remind you that change isn’t just loss. It’s an invitation to grow, to let go, and to step into who you’re becoming.

Key Takeaways:

1. Change is inevitable—your power lies in how you respond. You can’t control the seasons of life, but you can choose your actions within them.
2. Loss is not the end, but the opening for something greater. What feels like failure or setback often makes space for transformation.
3. Presence is the antidote to fear of change. When you slow down and stay rooted in the moment, you discover strength, clarity, and even joy in the unknown.

This one’s personal.

In two months, I’ll toe the line at my next ultra 31 miles through the Canyonlands. I’ve done this before, but this race is different. I’m carrying new lessons, some from the trail and some from the weight room, but most from the setbacks that nearly pulled me out of the game altogether.

Injuries have a way of humbling you. They strip away your ego, your timelines, your illusion of control. This year, Ally's knees forced her to slow down—not just her pace, but her entire approach.

Mobility, strength, patience, recovery… the things I once brushed off as optional became non-negotiable.

Running is the perfect metaphor for life. You don’t get to choose the terrain, but you can choose how you meet it. Every race, every training run, is a conversation with discomfort. Sometimes it’s a whisper. Sometimes it’s a shout. But if you stay in the fight long enough, you start to realize the finish line isn’t just a place, it’s a person you become along the way.

This episode is about persistence. It’s about discipline. And it’s about the quiet, unseen work that makes the visible moments possible.

Three Takeaways:

1. Longevity is built on the boring stuff — strength training, mobility, recovery, and nutrition are the pillars that keep you in the game.
2. Everything good is on the other side of hard — whether it’s the last painful mile or a personal setback, the breakthrough lives just past the moment you want to quit.
3. Your journey is yours alone — stop comparing your chapter two to someone else’s chapter ten; progress is personal, and patience is a discipline in itself.

You know what you need to do. You’ve written it down. You’ve scheduled it. You’ve even told yourself it’s important.

But you haven’t done it.

In this solo episode, I confront one of the most pervasive enemies of personal growth: procrastination. But not the surface-level kind. This is the deeper form, the kind that masks itself as perfectionism, fear, or even self-doubt.

Drawing insights from thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, James Clear, Seneca, and a powerful article by Joseph Foley, we uncover the truth: Procrastination isn’t about laziness. It’s about fear or lack of clarity.

You’ll learn:

• Why emotional resistance, not poor time management, is what really stops you
• How to break down big goals into “too small to fail” actions
• The tools I use (like “Eat the Frog” and the Five-Minute Rule) to get out of my own way

We’ll also explore how identity, rejection, and even our relationship with God can affect how we show up. As Christians and Stoics alike would agree—action matters. And today is the only day we’re promised.

“You could be good today. But instead you choose tomorrow.” — Marcus Aurelius

This episode is your reminder that you are not broken. You are simply being called to be brave.

It’s time to start.

“Getting After It” isn’t just a slogan, it’s how I choose to live.

In this episode, I hand over the mic to someone who knows me better than anyone, my wife, Ally.

She interviews me about what it really means to get after it, and we dive deep into the journey behind the brand, the podcast, and the mindset.

We talk about everything, from the early days of “Fat Brett” and living without structure, to 4:30 AM lifts, long runs, and the quiet discipline it takes to build a life you’re proud of. I open up about comparison, confidence, marriage, faith, and why I believe Getting After It means more than grinding—it means growing.

This episode is honest, unscripted, and personal. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or like your goals were out of reach, I hope this conversation reminds you that it’s not about being the best—it’s about getting better every day.

Three Key Takeaways

Discipline is how I built my confidence. It wasn’t a motivational quote or a big moment. It was the daily effort—showing up when I didn’t feel like it—that changed everything.

Getting after it applies to every area of life. Fitness is just one part. I’ve learned that showing up for my wife, my job, and my faith matters just as much.

We’re not meant to do this alone. That’s why I’m building a community—to help people push themselves and support each other in the process. We grow farther, together.

What if your weakness wasn’t a flaw—but a space for grace?

In this episode, I sit down with B.J. Allen, a business professor at BYU and author of The Compensating Power of Christ, to explore the intersection of faith, psychology, and performance. We dive into everything from confidence in sales to imposter syndrome in life—and how preparation, storytelling, and spiritual awareness shape how we show up in the world.

B.J. shares his journey from corporate life to academia, his teaching philosophy, and the uncomfortable but essential role of moving outside your comfort zone. We go deep into the psychology of persuasion, the mechanics of storytelling, and how empathy—not manipulation—is the real currency of sales.

But the heart of this conversation lies in something more eternal.

We explore the idea that Christ not only forgives but compensates—that He fills in the gaps of our stewardship, our pain, and our imperfection. B.J. unpacks this often-overlooked aspect of the Atonement: how Christ doesn’t just wait on the other side of death to restore what’s been lost—but actively refines, strengthens, and multiplies our efforts now.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt unqualified, uncertain, or unworthy. And for those who have the courage to believe that what we lack, Christ supplies.

Three Takeaways:

Confidence is built through preparation—not personality. Sales, life, and faith all require rehearsal before resilience.

Storytelling is sacred. Whether in business or belief, narratives forge the deepest human connection.

Christ’s power compensates, not just redeems. The Savior makes up the difference in our teaching, parenting, stewardship, and pain—if we let Him in.

Listen if you’re curious about:

• How psychology and empathy drive great marketing and sales
• Teaching with conviction and clarity
• The Stoic idea of controlling what you can—and surrendering the rest
• How Jesus Christ’s Atonement applies to more than just sin

What do you do when everything changes in an instant?

In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Bryce Turley, who survived a life-altering fireworks accident that left him with a completely different life than the one he planned. One moment, he was holding a mortar tube on the beach. The next, he was in an ambulance fighting for his life.

But this episode isn’t about pain—it’s about perspective.

Bryce opens up about relearning how to do everything from opening a door to playing volleyball again, this time left-handed. We talk about the mental roller coaster of recovery, addiction temptations, identity loss, and how the smallest wins can keep you going when life feels unbearable.

You’ll hear stories of surgeries, setbacks, and small victories. But most of all, you’ll witness the mindset of a man who refused to give up—who chose growth, resilience, and gratitude over victimhood.

If you've ever felt like giving up, this episode is for you.

Three Takeaways:

You can rebuild your life piece by piece—physically, mentally, and emotionally—no matter how broken it feels.

Support systems are everything. Healing happens in community, not isolation.

Purpose is forged in pain. When life strips everything away, what remains reveals who you are—and who you can become.

Most people see the moment you win. They don’t see what it cost.

In this conversation, I sit down with Ashton Lunt—national champion in javelin, former BYU athlete, and someone who knows what it means to suffer for a dream. We talk about what it really takes to become elite. From early mornings feeding pigs before lifting sessions, to throwing a javelin with a torn rotator cuff, Ashton’s journey isn’t one of overnight success—it’s a decade-long lesson in consistency, grit, and refusing to quit when everything inside you says to.

She opens up about injury setbacks, mental health battles, and the emotional toll of elite athletics. But she also shares what pulled her through: her faith, her family, and a relentless inner voice that said, “I’m not done yet.”

This is not just an athlete’s story—it’s a story about identity, about rebuilding from the ground up, and about showing up even when no one is watching.

Key Takeaways:

Persistence beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard—Ashton’s story is living proof.

Mental health must be trained like a muscle—her recovery and perspective offer practical tools and emotional insight.

Winning isn't just physical—Ashton’s success came from healing her mindset, redefining her “why,” and learning when to push and when to pull back.

There’s a war happening inside each of us — and most of the time, no one else sees it.

In this solo episode, I open up about the unseen battles that shape who we become. From personal stories of depression, self-doubt, and infertility to practical tools rooted in Stoic philosophy and faith, this episode is a deeply honest reflection on what it means to keep going when no one’s watching, and no one’s cheering.

I explore how the hardest fights are often silent. There’s no crowd. No validation. Just you… and the voice that tells you to quit.

We’ll talk about:

• Why internal struggles are more dangerous than we think
• The toxic stories we tell ourselves, and how to rewrite them
• What the Stoics teach us about control, identity, and resilience
• How fitness, journaling, discipline, and faith help build unshakable character
• Why infertility shook my identity, and how my wife and I are walking through it

This episode isn’t about pretending everything’s okay. It’s about facing the truth, building real self-respect, and understanding that some of the most transformational growth happens in the dark — long before anyone else sees the light.

If you're in the middle of something hard, I hope this reminds you: you’re not broken. You’re becoming.

Listen now and keep getting after it — even when it’s quiet.

We’re all running out of time.

That’s not a dramatic opener—it’s just the truth. This episode is a solo reflection on something that’s been weighing on me lately: presence, purpose, and the short window we’re all given to do something that matters.

While on vacation, I read Whale Fall, a story about a man swallowed by a whale who finds clarity about his broken relationship with his father—just a little too late. It hit home, because isn’t that how so many of us live? Waiting. Delaying. Postponing healing, connection, meaning—for some better “later” that may never come.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The guilt I feel when I’m not working.
• How hard it is to just be still.
• Why time, once spent, is never coming back.
• And how Getting After It is not just about productivity—it’s about presence.

I open up about what gives my life meaning: faith, love, growth, community. And I challenge you to ask yourself what gives yours.

Because the clock’s ticking. And the worst thing isn’t failing. The worst thing is never trying.

In this episode, I sat down with someone very special to me — my niece Lily — for a conversation that honestly felt like talking to a younger version of myself.

We talked about what it means to grow up in today’s world — the pressures of high school, the weight of comparison, and the internal dialogue we all wrestle with. But what made this episode powerful wasn’t just her honesty, it was her wisdom. At 17, Lily speaks with a level of self-awareness and emotional intelligence most people never reach.

We dove into everything from social media and mental health to finding confidence, forgiving others, and figuring out who you are. She opened up about trials she’s faced, the people who’ve supported her, and how she’s learning not to lose herself in a world that constantly asks you to be someone else.

What surprised me most was her clarity around one idea: confidence doesn’t come from having it all together — it comes from showing up, doing hard things, and choosing to love yourself anyway.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about your path, struggled to be yourself, or just needed a reminder that you’re not alone — this episode is for you.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence is built, not born — it comes from doing hard things and staying true to yourself, even when it’s uncomfortable.
2. Forgiveness frees you — it’s not about excusing others, it’s about letting go for your own peace.
3. Gratitude and connection matter — life gets better when you surround yourself with people who care, and when you recognize the blessings you already have.

I had the chance to sit down with Courtney—the voice behind the phrase “I’m fat and I’m working on it”—and what followed was one of the most real, raw, and human conversations I’ve ever had on this podcast.

She didn’t set out to go viral. She set out to change her life.

In this episode, Courtney shares how one painful moment at the gym sparked a global response—and what it taught her about shame, resilience, and the power of vulnerability. We talk about the anxiety of being a beginner, the toxic side of fitness culture, and how she learned to show up for herself even on the days she wanted to disappear.

We also cover the mental game behind discipline, how social media helped (and hurt) her progress, and why she refuses to let the word “fat” be used as an insult anymore.

This conversation isn’t about a six-pack. It’s about the courage it takes to keep going when no one’s cheering, and the surprising beauty in showing up—imperfect, unsure, and absolutely committed to getting better.

Key Takeaways:

• Baby steps still count. Progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about continuing, even when it’s uncomfortable.
• Words lose their power when you take ownership. Calling herself “fat” became a way for Courtney to reclaim her story and disarm shame.
• No one is watching as closely as you think. Most people in the gym are too busy working on themselves to judge anyone else.

What happens when everything you've trained for collides with pain, disappointment, and comparison? This is the story of Michael Whitaker, a Division I javelin athlete who didn’t just compete with a torn UCL — he qualified for Nationals.

In this episode, we unpack what it means to keep showing up when your body is broken and your confidence is shattered. Michael reveals the brutal emotional rollercoaster of injury, the quiet discipline of recovery, and the power of refining your mental game through deliberate self-talk and sport psychology.

Whether you're an athlete, a high-performer, or someone fighting a silent battle, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience, focus, and finding meaning in the grind. We explore the mental warfare of comparison, the science of technique, and the underrated magic of getting just 1% better every day.

If you’ve ever felt like giving up, this episode is for you.

Three Key Takeaways

1. Technique matters, but consistency and mental clarity matter more. Whether you're training for javelin or just trying to improve your life, cue-bouncing — constantly changing strategies — will sabotage your progress.
2. Injury is more than physical — it’s an identity crisis. How you respond mentally during setbacks defines whether you plateau or grow. “You can’t lose if you never give up” isn’t just a quote — it’s a survival strategy.
3. Positive self-talk isn’t fluff — it’s a weapon. Learning to speak to yourself like a coach instead of a critic can shift everything when you're on the edge of quitting.

What happens when an ordinary dad decides he’s had enough of mediocrity?

In this episode, I sit down with Brayden—a man who turned fear into fuel. From struggling to run a mile at 29 to finishing an Ironman 70.3, Brayden shares the real story behind his transformation. No highlight reels. No filters. Just brutal miles, setbacks, and the refusal to quit.

We explore the psychology of endurance sports, the difference between chosen and unchosen suffering, and the harsh truths of self-improvement. Brayden opens up about what led him to sign up for a Tough Mudder while out of shape, the pain of training with injuries, and how his love for his kids drives everything he does. This is about more than racing—it’s about identity, resilience, and becoming the man you're meant to be.

If you've ever questioned whether you can change, this is the episode for you.

3 Key Takeaways:

Commit to Hard Things on Purpose: Choosing difficult challenges—like a Tough Mudder or 50K—forces you to train, grow, and confront your limitations. Voluntary suffering builds the resilience needed for life’s unexpected pain.

Failure Is Acceptable—Quitting Isn’t: Whether it’s a race gone sideways or a finish time missed by miles, showing up and finishing what you start says more about your character than any medal ever could.

Your Example Matters More Than You Think: Fitness isn’t just about personal goals. It’s about modeling strength, discipline, and commitment for those watching—especially your kids.

Men rarely talk about what’s going on under the surface. Maybe it’s because society told us to “man up.” Maybe it’s because we never had the tools to put words to how we feel. Either way, most of us have learned to hide our struggles until they become impossible to ignore.

In this episode, I sit down with a Dr. Kim Buck, seasoned mental health professional who has spent 25 years helping others face these unspoken battles — anxiety, depression, isolation, and burnout — and she shares why connection is often the antidote. We explore how to recognize when you’re pushing too hard, the dangers of going it alone, and practical ways to rebuild emotional balance, one honest conversation at a time.

If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to speak up — or you want to help someone who’s quietly going through it — this conversation is a powerful reminder that asking for help is one of the bravest moves you can make.

Key Takeaways

• Why most men struggle to identify and express their emotions
• The surprising signals your body gives when your mental health is off
• How isolation quietly fuels depression, anxiety, and addiction
• Why “toughing it out” usually backfires — and what to do instead
• Practical strategies for creating balance, connection, and resilience

In this episode, I sit down with DJ and endurance athlete Tyler — known as DJ Take 2 — for one of the most grounded and real conversations I’ve had in a while. We explore the beauty of starting small, pushing our limits, and realizing that most of the barriers we face are self-made.

Tyler shares stories from his winding journey as a DJ, his first triathlon podium finish, and the lessons learned from showing up to races where he felt like an outsider.

We dive deep into what it means to embrace the process — whether it’s standing behind the decks at a wedding, training for an ultra, or hitting mile 31 with nothing left but willpower and gratitude.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever doubted their potential. It’s a reminder that the most fulfilling paths often begin with nothing more than a scared yes — and that with patience, discipline, and a touch of humor, we can go further than we thought possible.

Key takeaways:

• Why taking imperfect action often matters more than being “ready.”
• How endurance sports can teach you to embrace discomfort and find your edge.
• The surprising power of gratitude when things get hard.
• Why patience and humility will take you further than raw talent ever could.
• How leaning on community can keep you moving when you want to quit.

Most people only consider physical therapy after something breaks. A torn muscle. A blown-out knee. The kind of injury that makes you question if your body is still yours. But what if movement wasn’t just for recovery… but for prevention? For performance? For staying independent as you age?

In this episode, I sit down with Brynli Walker—a licensed physical therapist, athlete, mom, and all-around expert in helping people reclaim their bodies. We unpack what most people get wrong about pain, why surgery isn’t always the first (or best) option, and how your glutes, hips, and forgotten muscles might be the key to not just surviving… but thriving.

We cover everything from the surprising science of deadlifts, to running in silence, to the deeply unsexy exercises that actually work. This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s a grounded, practical exploration into what your body is capable of—and what it needs from you in return.

Expect to Learn:

• Why movement is often the missing prescription
• The real reason your knees or back might hurt—and what to do about it
• What most rehab protocols get wrong
• How to future-proof your body through strength and mobility
• Why comparison is the enemy of progress in the gym and in life

If you’ve ever wondered when to push, when to rest, or what recovery actually means—this is the episode for you.

What does it really mean to "feed your heart"?

In this episode, I sat down with my friend Jared Lee to unpack one of the deepest conversations we’ve had on the show yet—one that weaves through philosophy, religion, suffering, and the pursuit of meaning. We explore how ancient thinkers like Plato and C.S. Lewis believed in the power of the “chest”—the seat of emotion, conviction, and moral clarity—and how modern society often leaves that part of us malnourished.

We dive into world religions—Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and even atheism—not to convert, but to understand. To see what drives people to their knees in prayer, to mountains in solitude, or to sacrifice comfort for something they believe is worth suffering for. This conversation isn’t about dogma—it’s about desire. About what you’re willing to endure, not just enjoy.

Jared shares the Latin root of “passion” (patior: to suffer), and we look at how true joy often comes not from avoiding pain but choosing the right kind of pain—the kind that builds character, connection, and clarity.

If you're seeking more than just goals, if you’re after depth, direction, and a reason to keep going when the path gets hard—this episode is for you.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. True Passion Involves Sacrifice: Without something you're willing to suffer for, desire remains shallow. Passion is proven in the pain you choose.
2. You Are More Than Your Mind or Appetite: Plato’s tripartite soul reminds us that humans are not just logic (mind) and desire (belly)—but must also develop the chest, the heart, where purpose lives.
3. Different Beliefs, Common Ground: Whether you're religious or not, many systems point to similar moral frameworks: self-discipline, service, love, and the pursuit of joy over pleasure.
4. Joy Is Found Through Alignment, Not Escape: Luxury, status, and indulgence can numb you. Real joy comes when your actions align with your values.
5. Discipline and Consistency Are Spiritual Practices: Religion isn’t just belief—it’s routine. The same virtues that build your body build your soul.

You’re not done.
You’re just getting started.

Let’s keep getting after it.

What does it really mean to do it all—and actually do it well?

In this episode, I sat down with my former manager, longtime friend, and one of the most quietly powerful leaders I know: Kate Plamondon.

Kate is now a mother of three (including a set of surprise twins), a respected leader in business, and someone who’s not just surviving the chaos—but navigating it with presence, clarity, and integrity. We talk about the raw transition from being a high performer at work to balancing meetings with midnight feedings, the lessons she’s learned about leadership from raising toddlers, and how she’s built a system of resilience without burning out.

We also explore how motherhood reshaped her professional backbone, how taking a chance on herself opened the door to a leadership role, and how organization—paired with prioritization—is her secret weapon.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re being pulled in a thousand directions… but still want to get after it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Power of Boundaries – How becoming a mom forced Kate to stop being a people-pleaser and start protecting her time, energy, and attention.
2. Why Lists and Calendars Aren’t Just for Work – Practical systems Kate uses to stay organized and grounded both at home and at the office.
3. The Difference Between Chosen and Unchosen Suffering – A powerful framework we discuss around discipline, challenge, and how being a parent is the ultimate endurance test.
4. How to Be Present With Your Kids – Tangible tips for putting your phone down and being in the moment, guilt-free.
5. Why Believing in Others Is Leadership Gold – Kate’s unique approach to management is rooted in one thing: championing people’s potential, even when they don’t see it yet.

You’re not done.
You’re just getting started.

Let’s keep getting after it.

This one’s personal.

I had to write “DNF” next to my name today—Did Not Finish—and it stung more than I expected. Not because my legs gave out. But because my mind did.

In this episode, I walk you through a run I didn’t finish and the hard truth behind it: I wasn’t mentally bought in. I showed up thinking I could coast off past accomplishments, that grit alone would carry me. But here's what I learned—without the mind, the body doesn’t stand a chance.

We dive into:

• Why showing up physically isn’t enough
• The importance of mental rehearsal, visualization, and internal cues
• What regret feels like when you almost went the distance
• 5 ways to train your mind like your body
• And why pain isn’t the enemy—comfort is

This isn’t about running. It’s about how we all face moments where the challenge hits harder than expected—and how the ones who make it through aren’t the strongest, but the most prepared.

If you’re chasing something big, if you're struggling with self-doubt, or if you've ever come up short and hated the way it felt—this episode is for you.

Don’t trade your potential for ease. Don’t live a life full of almosts. Get mentally bought in—and keep getting after it.

This episode is special—because it’s with one of my oldest friends, Spencer Walker.

We go way back… all the way to the “Pack Rats” days. But today, Spencer is a husband, father, CrossFit athlete, and a first-year med student working toward becoming a PM&R doctor.

We covered everything: consistency in fitness, the science behind recovery, balancing training with fatherhood, staying spiritually grounded, and what it really means to follow Christ in a world full of distractions. From childhood memories to adult responsibilities, this conversation was raw, funny, and full of wisdom.

Whether you're trying to take better care of your body, deepen your faith, or just figure out how to make the most of the hours in your day—this one’s for you.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Consistency is King – From doing pushups between med school study breaks to tracking protein like a bodybuilder, Spencer shows how small daily actions lead to massive long-term results.
2. Creatine & Sleep Matter – We broke down how recovery really works, why creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders, and how poor sleep can sabotage your progress.
3. Stress & the Nervous System – Learn the difference between acute and chronic stress, and why living in a constant fight-or-flight state can wreck your body and mind.
4. Faith as a Foundation – Spencer shares how prayer, scripture, and trusting God’s plan helped him get through medical school—and how following Christ shapes everything from his workouts to his parenting.
5. Identity Shapes Outcomes – We talked about identity-based habits and how seeing yourself as someone who follows through—spiritually, physically, or emotionally—makes all the difference.

You’re not done.
You’re just getting started.

Let’s keep getting after it.

This episode is for the moments when your brain says, "That’s all I’ve got.”
Because that voice? It’s lying to you.

Today, I’m breaking down the myth of our limits—the mental stories we tell ourselves when we’re tired, unsure, or just plain scared. Whether you’re chasing a fitness goal, building something meaningful, or just trying to become a little better than you were yesterday, I want this episode to remind you of one thing: you’ve got more in the tank.

I talk about:

• What happened when I thought I was done after 11 miles… but laced up again anyway
• Why your brain puts up mental roadblocks (and how to push through them)
• The two things that kill most dreams: uncertainty and pain
• How Stoic philosophy (especially the “premeditation of evils”) helps you prepare for discomfort
• Why the only real growth happens when things get hard
• And how my brother Drew lost nearly 60 pounds and ran a marathon by showing up daily

This is a real look at what it takes to push your limits when no one’s watching, when no one’s cheering, and when every part of you wants to stop.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m just not ready,” or “Maybe someday,” I hope this episode gets in your head the same way those doubts have—and fights back harder.

You’re not done.
You’re just getting started.

Let’s keep getting after it.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about potential—not the kind people talk about in vague, feel-good quotes—but the kind that sits deep in your gut and makes you wonder: What if I actually went after it? What if I stopped waiting and started working?

In this solo episode, I share stories that have lit a fire under me recently—like Cameron Hanes running 250 miles with a broken foot, David Goggins’ wild transformation, and how Stoic philosophers like Epictetus teach us to stop making excuses and own our response to life.

I also talk about my own journey—from the kid who used to binge frozen chimichangas after school (yes, Fat Brett was real) to someone trying to show up every day with discipline, consistency, and purpose.

Here’s what we cover:

• What it actually means to live up to your potential
• Why discipline beats motivation every time
• How small, daily goals create massive change over time
• Dealing with self-doubt and fear (and why they’re not going away)
• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who see you
• And why you don’t need to wait for the “perfect moment” to start—because it’s never coming

If you’ve been coasting, playing small, or doubting what you’re capable of—I hope this episode snaps you out of it.

Because you’re capable of a hell of a lot more than you think.

Let’s stop waiting. Let’s start getting after it.

What does it actually mean to get after it?

In this episode, Ally Rossell joins me to break down the real meaning behind the phrase — beyond the t-shirts, the hashtags, and the highlight reels. This isn’t about motivational fluff. It’s about discipline, daily reps, mental battles, and doing the hard thing when no one’s watching.

We talk about the difference between grinding blindly vs. reflecting intentionally, how to win the war against your inner voice, and why “getting after it” will look different in every season of your life.

Ally shares her journey from struggling to run four miles to completing a full marathon with confidence. We unpack how small, boring reps lead to massive breakthroughs — and why excellence in one area of life bleeds into all the others.

This episode is a mission statement. A reminder. And a challenge.

Because getting after it isn’t a feeling. It’s a choice.

If you’re ready to stop coasting and start showing up with intent, this one’s for you.

Challenge from the episode:
Pick one area of your life where you’ve been passive. Take small steps toward it this week. At the end of the week, reflect. Then adjust. Then keep going.

Let’s build momentum — together.

Until next time, Keep Getting After It.

What happens when you get dropped into the heart of the Amazon rainforest with nothing but a machete, a bow, and the will to make it out alive?

In this episode, I sit down with Dustin Illgner — adventurer, survivalist, and perhaps the only man in the office who’s stared down a howler monkey after building his own jungle shelter. We talk about his expedition deep into the Amazon under the guidance of former British SAS soldier Ian Craddock, where Dustin was left to survive completely alone — no food, no phone, no timeline for pickup.

He shares how survival strips life down to its core: water, fire, shelter, presence. We cover:

• The psychological tricks to surviving isolation in the wild
• Eating grubs like popcorn
• Facing tarantulas, bullet ants, and jungle otters
• Why hardship creates clarity — and confidence
• How choosing adversity opens new doors in life
• The power of stillness and the beauty of becoming “one with nature”

We also get into Dustin’s other survival trips to Tonga, the Philippines, and Panama — and what it really means to test your edge and come back changed.

Choose something hard this week. Strip it down to the next step. The next breath. The next brick. And remember, comfort never made anyone interesting.

Keep getting after it.

Dave Daly should’ve died in that water. A family vacation. A rogue wave. A snapped neck. Paralysis from the shoulders down.

But this isn’t a story about tragedy — it’s about what you do next.

In this raw, honest conversation, Dave shares the moment his life changed forever: floating face down in the ocean, unable to move, unsure if he’d live to see another breath. What followed was surgery, a 40-day stay in rehab, and an unrelenting battle to learn how to walk again. Through it all, Dave leaned on his faith, his family, and a mindset forged by choosing resilience over self-pity.

This episode is for anyone facing hard things — whether it’s an injury, addiction, or the slow erosion of dreams. If you’ve ever needed a reason to keep going, this is it.

We talk:

• What it feels like to face death alone in the ocean
• How his family rallied around him in the fight of his life
• The power of small progress and spiritual strength
• Why mindset isn’t optional when your life flips overnight
• His new project: “The Daily Dose Show” — giving young singers a platform to shine

This one’s powerful. Emotional. And proof that even when your body breaks, your spirit doesn’t have to.

Keep Getting After It.

In this episode, I sit down with my oldest brother Blake for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious and humbling. We walk through the rise and fall of our business Swello—how we bootstrapped it from late-night ad gigs into a full-blown agency with 20+ employees… and how it all came crashing down.

This isn’t just a story about business. It’s about losing a piece of your identity, dealing with depression and anxiety, and rebuilding your confidence one rope toss at a time. Blake opens up about the hardest day of his life—shutting down the company—and the years he spent afterward trying to figure out who he was without it.

Now? He’s found passion again in an unexpected place: team roping. And it’s brought him back to life.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why failing publicly might be the greatest teacher you’ll ever have
• How passion projects can save your mental health
• What cowboy culture can teach us about discipline, brotherhood, and working with your hands
• The importance of trying new things (even when you suck at them)
• A reminder that no matter how lost you feel, it’s never too late to find your fire again

This one’s raw. It’s real. It’s full of bad jokes, cowboy hats, and a few lessons you won’t find in a business book.

Keep getting after it.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Payton Sellers—a future dentist, former missionary, and professional at learning the hard way.

We talk about what it means to choose your hard, how to own rejection, and why taking life too seriously might be the worst way to live it. Payton shares stories that are as hilarious as they are honest—failed dates, lessons from Baltimore, and why laughing at yourself might be the key to confidence.

Through all of it, a theme kept surfacing: Amor Fati—the Stoic idea of loving your fate. Payton embodies that. He doesn’t just accept the tough parts of life. He learns from them. He leans in. And he reminds us that life isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about making the most of the messy ones.

Key Takeaways:

• Why rejection isn’t a dead end—it’s a detour toward growth.
• Confidence is built in awkwardness, not comfort.
• You can’t avoid “hard”—but you can choose the version that leads to purpose.
• The power of laughing at yourself and not letting ego drive the car.
• How Amor Fati applies to modern life—and even worse date stories.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, embarrassed, or unsure if you're on the right track—this one’s for you.

Hit play, laugh a little, and then… keep getting after it.

“You don’t have to love the pain. But you can love what it produces.”

This episode is deeply personal. Ally and I talk about Amor Fati—the Stoic mindset of loving your fate—and how it can shift the way you approach setbacks, suffering, and even grief.

We walk through everything from infertility to losing a parent to injury during marathon training. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s real life.

You’ll hear stories of failure, unfulfilled timelines, shattered expectations—and how choosing to accept, rather than resist, those moments can unlock something deeper: peace, growth, and the strength to keep showing up.

Whether you’re training for something hard, healing from a loss, or just feeling like life is piling it on, this one’s for you. You don’t need to love the pain—but you can love what it makes of you.

Key Takeaways

1. Amor Fati Is a Weapon: You don’t just accept what happens—you love it. You say: “This had to happen to me. And I’m better for it.” That mindset? It changes everything.

2. Our Timeline Is Not Reality: We make plans. We fantasize. Then reality punches us in the throat. The house delays, the job that didn’t come, the baby we can’t yet have—none of that went to plan. But resistance only makes the pain worse. Flexibility brings freedom.

3. Loss Isn’t the End—It’s a Sacred Starting Point: When Ally lost her dad, it broke her. But she rebuilt. That grief became a sacred box of motivation. It taught her to run, to fly, to live a life he’d be proud of. Loss can crush you, or it can crown you. Sometimes it does both.

4. The Body Keeps the Score—and So Does the Mind: Injury slows you down. But it teaches patience. Grace. How to love the long game. Even when it means PRs instead of podiums.

5. Life Delays You So You Can Learn: Didn’t get the promotion? Maybe that’s the lesson. Brett shares what he learned about grace, patience, and showing up without the external win.

6. You’re Either Inputting or Letting Go: Ally compares life to flying an Airbus: too much control sends you off course. Sometimes the best move is to let go and let life fly itself for a moment.

Try this today:
When something goes wrong—big or small—pause. Smile. Say “Amor Fati.”

Then ask: What’s my move now?

You're not here to crumble. You're here to build. So keep getting after it.

Welcome back to the Getting After It podcast.

In this episode, I take you into the heart of one of history’s most disciplined warrior codes: Bushido, the code of the Samurai. But I don’t just talk about it—I bring it to life through the story of Miyamoto Musashi, Japan’s most legendary swordsman, a man who won 60 duels and once killed his opponent with a wooden oar.

At the end, I give you five practical exercises based on the Book of Five Rings to help you reflect, refine, and reforge yourself—just like Musashi did.

You don’t need to be a Samurai to live like one.

All you need is discipline, courage… and a willingness to face your fears head-on.

Key Learnings & Takeaways:

1. Declare Before You’re Ready - Musashi issued his first duel challenge at 13—with zero experience—and won. Declare your goal publicly, then schedule your first rep within 7 days. Courage follows commitment.

2. Honor the Two-Sword Method - He carried a long sword and a short one. You should too. Set one long-term goal and pair it with a daily micro habit. Ask yourself each morning: “How will today’s action defend my long-term mission?”

3. Use the Oar - Musashi beat one of the best swordsmen in Japan with a carved boat paddle. Find your unconventional asset. A story, a unique strength, or your voice. Rehearse it. Deploy it. Make the room flinch.

4. Lead With Service - Later in life, Musashi stopped chasing power and began teaching others. Strength shared is strength multiplied. Take one hour to teach someone who’s two steps behind you—no fee, no brag, just impact.

5. Reflect in the Void - Musashi ended his life meditating in silence, armor on, eyes east. Try the Five Rings Reflection: Spend 30 minutes every Sunday for 5 weeks focusing on:

6. Earth (Foundations)

7. Water (Adaptability)
8. Fire (Controlled Aggression)
9. Wind (Learning from Rivals)
10. Void (Stillness)

7 Bushido Virtue Challenges:

Gi (Rectitude) | Revisit yesterday. Rewrite one decision you'd proudly read aloud.
Yu (Courage) | Do the hard thing you’ve been dodging. Send the email. Make the call. Take the step.
Jin (Benevolence) | Send a sincere thank you to someone who changed your life.
Rei (Respect) | Greet people by name. See them. Treat them like they matter—because they do.
Makoto (Honesty) | Record yourself naming your biggest flaw. Listen twice. Build a fix.
Meiyo (Honor) | Ask 3 trusted people for the first word they associate with your name. Adjust to earn the one you want.
Chugi (Loyalty) | Block out 3 hours for your mission this week. No phones. No multitasking. Just work.

If Musashi can face down demons with driftwood, you can face your fear with discipline.

Today on the Getting After It podcast, I’m joined by a very special guest—my wife, Ally!

We sat down (matching mustard chairs and all) to have a real conversation about trying hard things, embracing the discomfort of being a beginner, and staying consistent without losing your sense of self-worth.

Ally shares her journey from being terrified of recording podcasts to launching Siblings in Crime with her brother, her struggles with body image and running confidence, and what her dad taught her about "doing the hard thing first."

We also reflect on building self-worth based on identity as a son or daughter of God—not just on achievements.

This one is packed with laughter, honest stories, and reminders we all need:
You can be proud of yourself and still demand more. You can fail today and still get after it tomorrow.

Key Learnings from This Episode:

1. "Being a Beginner" Is a Muscle You Need to Flex - Growth lives on the other side of starting badly. Every new beginning will feel awkward—and that’s a feature, not a flaw.
2. You Can’t Tie Your Self-Worth to Goal Achievement - Missing a goal doesn’t mean you’re worthless. Your value is rooted deeper than what you accomplish.
3. Consistency Isn't About Perfection—It's About Showing Up - You’ll miss days. You’ll feel off. What matters is getting back after it the next day without beating yourself up.
4. Discipline Is a Daily Decision, Not a Personality Trait - Structure and repetition build momentum. If you're struggling with consistency, make the hard things automatic, not optional.
5. It’s Okay to Be Disappointed, But Don’t Stay There - Disappointment signals an opportunity for adjustment—not a reason to tear yourself down.
6. Surround Yourself with People Who Push You to Level Up - Ally shared how having community—whether a running partner or a podcasting buddy—made it easier to stick to hard goals.
7. Perspective Is Everything - A missed workout doesn’t define you. A tough run isn’t failure. Move forward with grace and keep stacking good days.

Challenge for Listeners:
What’s one thing you’ve been too scared to start because you didn’t want to look like a beginner?

Choose it—and start messy this week. You don't need permission to begin.

If this episode helped shift your mindset, share it with a friend who needs to hear it—and don’t forget to leave a rating and review. Every bit of support helps us keep getting after it.

Stay humble. Stay disciplined. Keep getting after it.

Hey friends—welcome to the very first episode of my new "Code Series" on the Getting After It podcast.

Over the next few months, we’re diving deep into the personal and historical codes that have shaped warriors, leaders, and everyday legends. From samurai and Bushido to pirates and medieval knights, we’ll look at how people from different walks of life created rules that anchored their actions and built resilience. But before we explore their codes, I wanted to share mine.

In this episode, I walk you through the 7 core principles that make up my personal code—and how each one has shaped my mindset, my discipline, my relationships, and my purpose. We talk about:

• Leaving the comfort of home to chase growth
• Why daily workouts aren’t about abs—they’re about proving I can show up
• The power of uplifting others, even when no one’s watching
• My non-negotiable loyalty to my wife, Ally
• And how mottos like “Discipline Equals Freedom” and “The Man in the Arena” are more than quotes—they’re internal armor

By the end of this episode, I hope you’re ready to sit down, reflect, and write your own code. Because a personal code isn’t wallpaper. It’s armor. It’s what keeps you grounded when life gets messy.

Welcome back to the Getting After It podcast. In today’s episode, I break down a concept that’s reshaped how I view everything—from daily routines to long-term goals: “Life is what you think of it.”

Inspired by a raw, honest TikTok video, I unpack what it really means when we say “the way you see yourself is how the world reflects you back.” This episode is all about reframing your mindset, confronting that harsh inner critic, and taking back control of your responses—especially when life doesn’t go your way.

We dive into Stoic wisdom from Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, discuss the power of journaling, and talk through practical tools for silencing negative self-talk and turning thought into action. I’ll also share how I reframed a “missed workout” into one of the most meaningful days I’ve had in a while—and how you can do the same.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, doubting yourself, or just trying to gain momentum again, this episode will help you rewire your perspective, build evidence over affirmation, and take the next small, honest step forward.

Key Learnings from This Episode:

1. You become how you talk to yourself.
   The world reflects back the version of yourself you believe in. Speak like someone worth becoming.
2. Pause. Reflect. Reframe. Respond.
   When things don’t go your way, use the 3 R’s to regain control and act with clarity—not emotion.
3. Self-confidence isn’t built on hype—it’s built on proof.
   You don’t need more affirmations; you need evidence. Stack small wins. Show yourself who you are.
4. There are two voices in your head.
   One wants comfort. One wants greatness. The one you feed is the one that leads.
5. You are not your missed workouts.
   You are not your fatigue. You are your response to those moments. That’s where identity is formed.
6. Your story becomes your behavior.
   And your behaviors, when repeated, become your habits. Reframe your story and your life will follow.

🎧 If this episode helped you reframe your thinking or silence a negative voice in your head—share it with someone you care about. Leave a rating or drop a comment. It goes a long way.

And as always, until next time…
Keep Getting After It.

Let’s be honest—boredom gets a bad rap. We’re told success should be fast, exciting, filled with dopamine and dramatic transformation. But what if the exact opposite is true?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into a truth I’ve had to learn the hard way: before brilliance comes boredom. Whether you’re chasing fitness goals, building a business, writing a book, or just trying to become a better human—there’s a phase where the work feels monotonous, the progress invisible, and the motivation nonexistent. That’s not the end. That’s the beginning of real change.

I’ll walk you through why we resist the boring work, what repetition actually creates, and how to reframe your relationship with those silent seasons where the world’s not clapping—but the bricks are stacking.

I also share my own story about building this podcast—how it started with excitement, faded into doubt, and eventually became a consistent practice that changed my life and, hopefully, yours.

If you’re in the grind right now and wondering if it’s worth it—this one’s for you.

4 Key Takeaways:

• Brilliance is born in boredom. The reps you think don’t matter are often the ones that change everything.
• Track the habit, not the hype. Don’t wait for motivation—build a boring routine and stick with it.
• Your breakthrough is probably hiding behind repetition. Keep going when it’s quiet.
• “Boring is building.” Say it out loud. Make it your mantra.

If this episode helped, share it with someone else doing the quiet work. And remember—you’re not stuck, you’re just stacking. Keep getting after it.

When I left home at 18, my dad gave me one piece of advice that stuck: “Remember who you are and always be true to yourself.” That single line has shaped so much of how I live, how I love, and how I lead.

In this episode, I dig into the power of authenticity—not the fluffy Instagram version, but the kind that comes from knowing yourself deeply, owning your quirks, your passions, and choosing to evolve without losing who you are.

We talk Christopher Robin, Marcus Aurelius, and the myth of “just be yourself.” I also share personal stories of hiding my nerdy side (shoutout Clone Wars fans) and how my wife helped me reconnect with the real me. There’s a difference between staying the same and staying true—this episode will help you find the balance.

Whether you're navigating who you are in your career, relationship, or just trying to feel more like you, this one’s for you. Be you. Fully. Fiercely. And don’t apologize for it.

Key Takeaways:

• Being yourself isn’t staying stagnant—it’s evolving from a place of self-awareness.
• You will attract the right people when you stop trying to fit the wrong mold.
• You can love who you are today and still work to grow tomorrow.
• Your authenticity is your edge. Don’t let the world tell you who to be—show them.

If this message hit home, send it to a friend who might need it. And as always—keep getting after it.

This one lit a fire in me—and I hope it does the same for you. In this episode, I dive deep into The Strenuous Life, a philosophy championed by Teddy Roosevelt, and one that mirrors everything “Getting After It” stands for. Roosevelt wasn’t always the rugged, battle-hardened leader we think of—he was a sickly, asthmatic kid who made a choice: to fight. To grow. To get better. And he did.

I walk through one of his wildest stories—building a boat from scratch in the dead of winter to chase down thieves—and unpack what that kind of mindset looks like today. Spoiler: you’re not chasing boat thieves, but you are chasing goals, battling self-doubt, and trying to live a life that means something.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being in the arena. It’s about rising when everything inside you says sit down. I’ll share what that looks like in my own life—from early mornings at the gym, trade show fatigue, and my own moments of doubt—and why this lifestyle of consistent challenge has brought more fulfillment than I ever thought possible.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I doing enough?” this episode is for you. And if you haven’t, it’s time you did.

Key Takeaways:

• You don’t grow by avoiding hard things. Fulfillment lives on the other side of challenge.
• Start small. Stay consistent. Big breakthroughs come from small, repeated actions.
• Your version of the strenuous life won’t look like mine—and that’s the point. Make it personal.
• Living this way changes you—but more importantly, it equips you to help others.

If this episode sparked something in you, share it with someone you care about. Help them start their own journey. And as always—keep getting after it.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and underutilized tools in personal development—discipline. It’s not about punishment or rigidity. It’s about love. It’s about showing up, even when you don’t feel like it. It’s about choosing what you want most over what you want now.

I talk about the truth behind “discipline equals freedom,” how it’s shaped every aspect of my life, and why I believe it’s the foundational skill to build the life you actually want—not just tolerate. From cold mornings to long runs, tough conversations to delayed gratification, this episode unpacks how small, hard choices create massive long-term impact.

Whether you're in the early stages of your growth journey or you're feeling stuck, this is your sign to start stacking wins and building momentum.

Key Takeaways:

• Discipline is self-respect in action. It’s about doing the hard thing now so your future self can breathe easier.
• Consistency compounds. Every disciplined choice is a deposit in your resilience bank.
• Progress beats perfection. You will fail. Just don’t quit.
• Discipline is the filter for your future. It shows you what actually matters—and helps you chase it with clarity.

Let’s build something better. Let’s get after it.

Sometimes life throws curveballs—unexpected obstacles, setbacks, or moments that force us to rethink our goals. In this episode, I dive into the lessons I learned when I had to pivot from one ultra marathon to another after months of training, only to face another brutal challenge on race day.

I share what it was like to push through heat exhaustion, dehydration, and self-doubt while running through the Arizona desert at night, and how having the right mindset—and the right people—can make all the difference.

Key Takeaways:

1. Pivoting isn’t quitting – Sometimes the best path forward means changing direction, and that’s a sign of strength, not failure.
2. Your support system matters – Having people in your corner can make even the hardest challenges feel a little lighter.
3. Discomfort is where growth happens – When things get tough, ask yourself if you can take just one more step.
4. Dedicate your journey to something bigger than yourself – Whether it’s a loved one or your future self, having a purpose fuels resilience.

This episode is about making peace with change, pushing through discomfort, and realizing that no matter what obstacles come up, you always have the power to take the next step.

Let’s get after it.

Ever felt like a fraud, like you’re not good enough, or that you’re just getting lucky? You’re not alone. Seventy percent of people struggle with imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.

In this episode, I dive into the mental war of imposter syndrome—why we feel it, how to fight it, and how to finally own your wins.

What You’ll Learn:

• The five red flags of imposter syndrome that might be holding you back
• How to use David Goggins' "cookie jar" technique to silence self-doubt
• Why perfectionism and overworking are traps—and how to escape them
• The power of talking it out and how to shrink imposter syndrome by exposing it
• How to reframe your mindset and turn doubt into your biggest growth signal
• The secret weapon of elite performers—focusing on progress over perfection

Key Takeaways:

• Own your wins. Write down your victories, big or small, and use them as fuel when doubt creeps in.

• Reframe failure. Every stumble is a step forward—mistakes sharpen you, not expose you.
• Doubt means growth. If you’re feeling imposter syndrome, you’re probably on the edge of something big.

This isn’t just about getting over imposter syndrome—it’s about mastering it.

Let’s get after it.

What’s up, friends? This one’s personal. We’re diving into fitness—not just the sweat and the gains, but what it really does for you. I’ve been that chubby kid who felt mediocre, and I’ve been the guy obsessing over a marathon time that nearly broke me.

Today, I’m unpacking it all: how exercise transforms your body (think 35% less risk of heart disease—nuts, right?), rewires your mind (15 minutes of running cuts depression risk by 26%), and builds a confidence that bleeds into every damn part of your life. We’ll talk about my brother Drew, who went from 265 pounds and depressed to crushing marathons and owning his life—proof you can do hard things.

But here’s the catch: fitness can trip you up if you let it define you. I’ve been there—crying at mile 10, feeling like a failure because I didn’t hit a goal. So we’re getting real about not tying your worth to the numbers, whether it’s miles, weights, or the mirror.

Expect stories, science, and a bit of tough love. If you’ve ever doubted yourself—or just need a push to lace up those shoes—this is for you. Hit play, then hit me up with your own journey. Let’s keep getting after it together.

Think mental toughness is just for Navy SEALs or Olympians? Nah—it’s for me, it’s for you, it’s for anyone who’s ever set a goal and smashed into a wall chasing it.

I’m Brett, your host of Getting After It, and in this episode, I’m diving into the grit that keeps you swinging when life’s kicking you in the teeth. I used to think it was some rare gift—until I went from a cardio-free couch potato to crossing a marathon finish line, one miserable step at a time.

Mental toughness isn’t about being unbreakable; it’s about showing up when I don’t want to, day after day. I’ll walk you through my own challenges—doubting every mile—then spotlight David Goggins, who turned 360 pounds of cockroach-spraying misery into Navy SEAL steel.

I’m giving you five steps I’ve used to forge my own mental edge: clear goals, tiny habits, embracing the suck, committing like my life’s on the line, and pivoting when things go wrong. I’s real, raw, and works. Plus, I’ve got homework to get you started. Ready to toughen up and own your mental game? Hit play—let’s get after it.

Key Moments:

• My marathon grind and the finish-line
• Goggins’ wild 360-pound-to-SEAL glow-up
• Duckworth’s West Point proof: grit beats talent
• My five-step playbook to train your mind
• Why I don’t quit—and why you won’t either

In this episode, I let ChatGPT take the interviewer’s seat. After feeding it transcripts from past episodes, I asked it to act like a loyal listener—someone who gets after it in their own life—and throw some thought-provoking questions my way. The result? A dive into discipline, overcoming self-doubt, pushing limits, and the mindset shifts that fuel personal growth.

Here’s what we cover:

• The biggest lesson I’ve learned after 100+ episodes
• How I balance discipline with flexibility (and why it’s not always easy)
• My hardest recent challenge—navigating distance in my marriage
• The Man in the Arena quote and why it changed my entire approach to life
• A moment where I felt like quitting but didn’t—and what kept me going
• Hard truths about success, personal growth, and why patience is everything
• If Getting After It had a legacy, what would I want it to be?

This episode is packed with real, raw insights about the journey of self-improvement. If you’ve ever struggled with discipline, fear of failure, or simply finding the motivation to keep going, this one’s for you.

We've all been there—things are going well, you're making progress, you're feeling good… and then, suddenly, you lose momentum.

Life gets busy, obstacles pop up, and before you know it, you're off track. So, what do you do when that happens? How do you rebuild momentum and keep moving forward?

In this episode, I break down:

• Why starting is always the hardest part (and how to push past it)
• The science of activation energy—why some actions feel impossible to start
• How small actions trick your brain into making progress
• The secret to lowering resistance and making success automatic
• How to use discipline and consistency to sustain momentum
• A step-by-step plan to rebuild momentum when you lose it

I also talk about how Kobe Bryant’s work ethic transformed an Olympic team, how small wins lead to massive change, and why my own mom’s running journey proves that momentum is built, not given.

If you’ve ever fallen off track with your fitness, career, or personal growth goals, this episode is for you. Momentum isn’t magic—it’s built through action.

So start small. Take one step today. And keep getting after it.

In this solo episode, we’re tackling one of the most critical principles for success—hard work. If you’ve ever wondered how to actually work hard in a way that moves the needle, this episode is for you.

Inspired by Paul Graham’s essay How to Do Hard Work, we break down what separates those who get after it from those who stay stagnant. We explore why hard work is often misunderstood and how to apply it effectively in your career, fitness, and personal growth.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why most people misunderstand what real hard work looks like
• The three pillars of great work (talent, practice, and effort)
• Why motivation is overrated and discipline is everything
• The biggest reasons people avoid hard work (and how to overcome them)
• How to find work that fuels you so you don’t burn out
• The truth about success—working hard is non-negotiable, but working on the right things is the real game-changer

We’re getting real in this one. No shortcuts, no hacks—just the reality of what it takes to push your limits, break past comfort, and achieve what you’re truly capable of.

Success isn’t just about effort—it’s about strategy. In this episode, I break down the fundamental principle that applies to running, business, relationships, and every major pursuit in life: how you fuel yourself determines how far you go.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, chasing career growth, or simply trying to be 1% better every day, the quality of what you put in—mentally, physically, and emotionally—will dictate the quality of what comes out.

I’ll share lessons from my own journey, from making massive mistakes in fueling my body for endurance training to understanding how knowledge, discipline, and adaptation act as fuel in every area of life. We’ll explore why blindly pushing forward leads to burnout, how to recognize when you’ve hit a wall, and what it takes to pivot and keep momentum going.

Key Takeaways:

Know Your Destination – If you don’t have a clear vision, you’re just running in circles. Define your goals, so you’re not wasting effort in the wrong direction.
Choose the Right Fuel – Whether it’s training, knowledge, mentorship, or discipline, make sure what you’re consuming aligns with your goals.
Plan for the Wall – Hardships, setbacks, and burnout are inevitable. Prepare for them so they don’t derail your progress.
Adapt as You Grow – Success isn’t about rigid consistency—it’s about strategic adaptation. When something stops working, be willing to evolve.

Your journey to success is an endurance race, not a sprint. Fuel intentionally, train wisely, and be relentless in your pursuit.

If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it! Hit me up on social media or my website—I’d love to hear how you’re getting after it.

Keep getting after it!

In this episode, I get real about following your passions and the power of discipline in unlocking the greatness within you.

I share personal stories—from my journey into podcasting and my evolving running adventures to the small, daily habits that have transformed my life. I dive deep into why fear often holds us back, and how embracing failure as a stepping stone has led me to unexpected breakthroughs. I explore the balance between chasing financial success and nurturing personal growth, reminding you that passion isn’t just about the end goal—it’s about the process and the lessons learned along the way.

I also reflect on insights from some of my favorite thought leaders like Marcus Aurelius, Jocko Willink, and Naval Ravikant, and how their wisdom has shaped my approach to discipline and creativity. Whether it’s dedicating five minutes a day to a passion project or taking the leap to start something new, I challenge you to lean into the discomfort and start small—because every tiny win compounds into something extraordinary.

Join me as I break down the myths of waiting for the perfect moment and instead, embrace the now. This episode is a conversation about building systems, overcoming fear, and the transformative power of doing the hard work—day in and day out. Let’s get after it together and make every moment count.

Key Takeaways:

Start Now, No Matter How Small — I learned that the journey to fulfilling your passion begins with a single, small step. Whether it’s setting aside five minutes a day or taking on a new challenge, waiting for the perfect moment only delays your progress. The compounding effect of these daily wins is what drives long-term success.

Discipline Equals Freedom — Embracing discipline is essential because it creates the framework for creativity and growth. When you build systems that support your goals—like eliminating distractions and sticking to a routine—you empower yourself to overcome fear, manage setbacks, and ultimately unlock your potential.

Reframe Failure as Feedback — Instead of letting the fear of failure hold you back, I learned to view each setback as a valuable learning opportunity. Embracing failure as part of the process allows you to gain insights, refine your approach, and build resilience—turning every stumbling block into a stepping stone toward your greater vision.

Confidence. Everyone wants it, but few understand how to actually get it. Is it some innate superpower you’re born with, or is it something you build? Is it about repeating affirmations in the mirror, or does it come from something deeper?

Today, I’m breaking down the truth about confidence—what it actually is, where it comes from, and most importantly, how you can build it for yourself. Spoiler: it’s not about talking yourself up. It’s about stacking undeniable proof that you are who you say you are.

From chubby seventh-grade Brett trying to fit in, to stepping onto the volleyball court for the first time, to running ultra-marathons and pushing my own limits, I’ve seen firsthand that confidence isn’t granted—it’s earned. Every repetition, every action, every uncomfortable step forward adds to the belief that you’re capable of more.

So here’s the question: Where are you seeking confidence without putting in the work? Are you expecting to feel ready before you take action, or are you willing to outwork your self-doubt and prove yourself wrong?

This episode is about practical confidence. No fluff, no feel-good slogans—just real steps to becoming the person you know you can be.

Three Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence is Built, Not Given – Confidence doesn’t magically appear. It’s the result of repeated action, stacking undeniable proof that you are capable. You can’t think your way into confidence—you have to earn it.
2. Action Kills Doubt – The more you do, the more capable you become. Whether it’s stepping into a new challenge, pushing through discomfort, or simply showing up every day, action is what eliminates self-doubt.
3. Small Wins Matter – Confidence isn’t one big achievement; it’s a thousand small wins stacked over time. Track your progress, celebrate your growth, and let each win reinforce the belief that you can handle more.

Listen in, take action, and as always—keep getting after it.

In this episode, I dive into the tough but transformative topic of pain—not as something to avoid but as a signal for growth. Drawing from personal stories, running metaphors, and lessons learned, I explore how embracing pain can lead to resilience, strength, and self-belief.

Pain is life’s way of signaling where we need to grow. It’s not an enemy—it’s a guide. Every moment of discomfort, whether physical or emotional, carries a lesson. When you face pain head-on, you build not only strength but also the confidence to handle whatever comes next. Don’t fear it. Welcome it. Learn from it. And let it push you closer to the person you know you’re capable of becoming.

Key Takeaways
Pain is a Signal, Not a Stop Sign:

• Pain highlights areas in your life that need attention. It’s a brutally honest teacher pointing out where you’re weak and providing opportunities for growth.
• Ask yourself: Is this a limit or just a hurdle? Learning to differentiate between discomfort you can push through and true limits can help you grow without burnout or injury.

Controlled Stress Builds Resilience:

• Activities like cold exposure, fasting, exercise, or waking up early help your mind and body adapt to discomfort, creating strength and resilience over time.

Reframe Pain as a Teacher, Not an Enemy:

• Avoiding pain often leads to stagnation and mediocrity. Embracing it with the right mindset helps you see it as feedback, showing you areas for improvement and growth.
• Pain isn’t about suffering—it’s about preparation. Facing it now makes you better equipped to handle future challenges with confidence.

Call to Action
This week, Brett challenges you to embrace discomfort. Share your experience confronting pain—whether it’s a tough workout, a small victory over fear, or a moment of growth—with him via email or social media. Let’s celebrate your progress together.

In this milestone 100th episode of The Getting After It Podcast, Brett reflects on the journey that brought him here and shares the cornerstone of his personal and podcasting success: Consistency with Purpose.

Consistency with purpose is the secret sauce to progress in any meaningful endeavor. It’s not about just showing up every day; it’s about showing up and doing the right things, relentlessly refining your process, and celebrating the small wins along the way. Whether you’re on your first step or your 100th, stay intentional and keep getting after it.

This episode explores the lessons learned over two and a half years, how to refine your actions for meaningful progress, and why celebrating small wins matters. Whether you’re just starting a goal or are deep in the trenches, this episode will motivate you to keep moving forward with intentionality.

Key Takeaways:

1. Consistency Alone Isn’t Enough – It Requires Purpose:
   • Being consistent without purpose can lead to stagnation. If your habits aren’t aligned with your goals, you’ll make progress in the wrong direction.
   • True progress comes from pairing consistency with deliberate actions that support your long-term vision. Brett emphasizes the importance of constantly refining and adjusting your strategy as you go.
2. Celebrate Small Wins to Fuel Long-Term Motivation:
   • Progress often feels invisible day by day but becomes significant over months or years. Celebrating milestones, no matter how small, gives you the momentum to keep going.
   • Brett reflects on how each step of his journey—better podcast equipment, growing an audience, or his mom running 5 miles—reinforces the joy of progress and the power of encouragement.
3. Relentless Refinement Drives Meaningful Growth:
   • Success isn’t about doing the same thing over and over; it’s about doing the right thing better every time. This means auditing your actions, identifying areas to improve, and pivoting when necessary.
   • Brett illustrates this with his podcast evolution: moving from rambling recordings to carefully outlined episodes with improved content and sound quality.

Actionable Step:

Perform a Consistency Audit and Take Purposeful Action:

1. Audit Your Habits:
   • Ask yourself, Are my daily actions worth repeating? Identify one habit that isn’t serving your goals and replace it with one that does.
   • Example: If you’re consistently skipping workouts, create a system that gets you to the gym—set out your clothes the night before, find an accountability partner, or schedule your workout like a meeting.
2. Set a 90-Day Challenge:
   • Pick a goal and outline 3-5 small, daily actions that will get you closer to it.
   • Example: If your goal is to write a book, commit to writing 200 words a day or spending 15 minutes brainstorming ideas.
3. Celebrate Your Progress:
   • Choose a way to track and celebrate your wins—whether it’s journaling about daily successes, sharing milestones with a friend, or rewarding yourself for hitting checkpoints.

Call to Action

This week, share one habit or strategy you’re refining with Brett via email or social media. Let him celebrate your progress with you, and join the growing Getting After It community of people pursuing their goals with intentionality and purpose.

In this episode of The Getting After It Podcast, we’re diving deep into one of the most transformative principles you can adopt: Discipline Equals Freedom. This powerful mantra, introduced by Jocko Willink, reshaped my approach to fitness, career, and personal goals—and it can do the same for you.

If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, self-doubt, or simply staying consistent, this episode will teach you how discipline isn’t restrictive; it’s liberating. Together, we’ll unpack what discipline truly means, how to set up systems for success, and how small acts of discipline compound over time to create lasting freedom in your life.

Key Takeaways:

1. Discipline Creates Freedom:
   Discipline isn’t about punishment—it’s about creating a life aligned with your values. The paradox of discipline is that by embracing structure, you gain control over your time, health, and goals.
2. Systems Over Willpower:
   Success doesn’t rely on grinding harder—it relies on setting up systems that make success the default. As James Clear says, “You do not rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.”
3. Consistency Beats Intensity:
   Motivation comes and goes, but discipline ensures you show up every day. It’s the small, consistent actions—not grand gestures—that create exponential growth.
4. Write It Down:
   Whether it’s your goals, progress, or roadblocks, documenting your journey creates clarity and accountability. Writing down your “why” makes the “how” more manageable.
5. Turn Obstacles Into Stepping Stones:
   Challenges like lack of time, self-doubt, and burnout are inevitable. The key is to adjust without losing momentum, reframe setbacks as opportunities, and stay focused on incremental progress.
6. Accountability Amplifies Discipline:
   Share your goals with a trusted friend or mentor. Adding accountability increases your chances of staying consistent and achieving your vision.

Discipline isn’t about achieving perfection—it’s about showing up every day, even when you don’t feel like it. The beauty of discipline is that its effects compound over time, shaping you into someone you once only dreamed of becoming.

As always, keep getting after it.

In this episode, we dive into the raw truth about progress: it begins with brutal honesty. Often, the biggest lies we tell aren’t to others—they’re to ourselves. We convince ourselves that tomorrow is a better day to start, that our circumstances aren’t ideal, or that someone else’s success is out of our reach. But here’s the reality: you don’t need perfect conditions to begin. You just need to take the first step.

Drawing from personal stories, lessons from running, and inspiration from figures like Jocko Willink, David Goggins, and Sally McRae, we unpack how to:

• Confront your ego and embrace brutal self-honesty
• Start where you are, no matter how small the step may seem
• Dismantle the destructive habit of comparison and use it to inspire growth
• Harness discipline to create the life you want
• Develop a perspective that turns roadblocks into stepping stones

This isn’t a sugarcoated pep talk; it’s a call to action.

Progress doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not always glamorous, but the hard work you put in today is the foundation of who you’ll become tomorrow.

Key Takeaways:

1. Comparison is the Thief of Joy: Social media often highlights others' best moments. Instead of letting comparison paralyze you, flip it—use it as proof of what’s possible.
2. Discipline Equals Freedom: Whether it’s physical goals, career ambitions, or spiritual growth, discipline is the common denominator for success.
3. Action Creates Readiness: You’ll never feel 100% ready. Start now and let action fuel your progress.
4. Celebrate Small Wins: Progress is a sum of small, consistent efforts. Reflect on your daily wins and let them drive your momentum forward.
5. Know Your “Why”: A clear purpose can carry you through the “how” of any journey.

Whether you’re trying to run your first mile, start a new career, or strengthen your faith, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to stop procrastinating and start getting after it.

In this heartfelt and humorous episode, I sit down with the two people who know me best—my parents. What starts as a light chat about holiday traditions and Europe’s Christmas markets takes a deep dive into some of life’s biggest lessons: the power of faith, the resilience required in tough times, and the unexpected joys of family.

We explore their recent trip to historical sites in Europe, including Nazi concentration camps, and reflect on the importance of remembering history to better appreciate the present. From stories of parenting and childhood chaos (like our infamous “dog ball” game) to how their love has evolved over nearly 40 years of marriage, this conversation is raw, insightful, and full of laughs.

Whether we’re discussing faith, gratitude, or skydiving dreams, this episode reminds us of what it means to live intentionally, stay connected, and, as always, keep getting after it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Gratitude in Perspective – Reflecting on history and contrasting life’s hardships with its joys deepens gratitude for the present.
2. Family First – Strong family bonds are built through shared experiences, open communication, and unwavering support.
3. Faith Evolves – Faith grows through trials, offering hope and purpose as it adapts to life’s changes.
4. Marriage as a Partnership – A thriving relationship is built on teamwork, honest communication, and prioritizing each other.
5. The Power of Service – Helping others brings fulfillment, strengthens connections, and deepens faith.

Imagine facing life’s challenges with the resolve of Winston Churchill during World War II. In this episode, we delve into how discipline and perspective can serve as your anchor through life’s storms.

By shifting our perspective, anxiety shrinks, clarity sharpens, and we gain the strength to tackle physical challenges and long-term goals with focus and grit.

Empathy takes the spotlight as we explore its power in personal and professional relationships. Whether it’s building a stronger marriage or navigating challenges at work, empathy is the bridge that turns relationships into legacies.

We also confront the courage needed to step out of fear’s shadow and take bold action. Whether it’s leaving a job, starting a new project, or simply making a hard decision, use your most precious resource—time—with intention.

Finally, we anchor ourselves in faith, turning to the wisdom of C.S. Lewis to reframe life’s trials as moments of divine refinement. Faith offers a perspective that transcends the temporary, transforming hardships into stepping stones toward growth. Together, we explore how mental resilience, disciplined thoughts, and trust in Christ guide us to become stronger, wiser, and more capable versions of ourselves.

This episode is a call to action—a reminder that storms are temporary, growth is a choice, and victory is found in discipline, empathy, and faith. Let’s get after it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Discipline is about playing the long game. Keep the bigger picture in focus.
2. Memento Mori: Life is short. Don’t waste it on fear or hesitation.
3. Empathy shifts your perspective and strengthens relationships.
4. Faith or belief in something greater provides strength during trials.
5. Perspective is a skill. Practice reframing daily challenges as steps toward growth.

What does it mean to truly live with purpose and intention? In this episode, we dive deep into rules to live by—a personal set of principles designed to kill complacency, build character, and transform your life.

Through stories, reflections, and actionable insights, I explore what it takes to become a quality human. It starts with aligning your life to your core values: keeping your word, embracing faith, sacrificing for what matters, and cultivating discipline. Faith isn’t just a belief—it’s a foundation. Sacrifice isn’t about loss—it’s about prioritizing the people and goals that deserve your energy.

We also tackle patience and adaptability—two of the most undervalued traits in today’s fast-paced world. Life doesn’t hand you easy victories; it tests you, stretches you, and asks you to grow. Together, we’ll uncover how to rise above life’s challenges, nurture resilience, and celebrate the small, silent wins that define success.

This is your invitation to step back, reflect, and build your own code—a guide for living with purpose, power, and integrity. Let’s get after it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Your Word is Your Bond: Trust and integrity are the foundation of any meaningful relationship. If you want people to believe in you, start by doing what you say you’ll do.
2. Faith Provides Strength Beyond the Self: Living for something greater than yourself—whether through faith, family, or a higher purpose—offers clarity and resilience in life’s toughest moments.
3. Sacrifice Prioritizes What Truly Matters: True growth often requires letting go of comfort or convenience to serve a greater goal or relationship. Ask yourself: What am I willing to give up to get where I want to go?
4. Discipline Builds What Impulse Can’t: Discipline is the engine behind transformation. It’s not glamorous—it’s gritty, repetitive, and often uncomfortable.
5. Patience and Adaptability Lead to Long-Term Growth: Success isn’t immediate—it’s a slow burn. Be patient with yourself, your goals, and your relationships. And when life throws a curveball, embrace adaptability instead of frustration. Growth happens when you pivot with purpose.

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative philosophy of Stoicism—a way of thinking that has profoundly shaped my life. Often misunderstood as emotionless or rigid, Stoicism is far from it. It's about embracing our emotions, mastering them, and using them as tools for growth.

Drawing on lessons from ancient Stoics like Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus, and modern figures like Ryan Holiday and Jocko Willink, I explore how this ancient philosophy can help us navigate life’s challenges with grace and resilience.

We’ll discuss Stoicism’s origins, from Zeno’s shipwreck to its enduring teachings, and break down practical ways you can incorporate these principles into your life today. Whether it’s journaling, practicing voluntary discomfort, or focusing on what you can control, these tools will help you build emotional strength and clarity.

Through personal stories—like the lessons I learned during my own struggles—I’ll show you how Stoicism is not about suppressing emotions, but about transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.

If you’re looking for practical ways to gain control over your mindset, face adversity head-on, and live with purpose, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

1. Master Your Emotions: Stoicism isn’t about suppressing feelings but about understanding and using them as fuel for growth.
2. Focus on What You Can Control: Let go of outcomes and zero in on your actions to reduce stress and build resilience.
3. Find Strength in Adversity: Every challenge is an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop greater resilience.
4. Practice Voluntary Discomfort: Embrace small, intentional hardships—like fasting, cold showers, or challenging workouts—to build mental and physical toughness.
5. Reflect and Journal Regularly: Use journaling to process your emotions, track your progress, and gain clarity about your values and goals.

What if choosing the hard path in life could unlock your full potential?

In this episode, I sit down with my best friend Drew to reflect on our recent experiences, including Hell for the Holidays. Together, we explore how committing to tough choices—and seeing them through—can prepare you to take on life’s biggest challenges.

Life is hard. That’s a fact. But you get to choose what kind of hard you want to live with. The hard of discipline, growth, and purpose, or the hard of regret, stagnation, and missed potential? The choice is yours—and it’s one worth making every single day.

This week, take a moment to reflect on a ‘hard’ choice you’ve been avoiding. Write it down, commit to it, and take one small step toward embracing it. Share your story with us—we want to hear about how you’re choosing your hard and what it’s teaching you.

Key Takeaways

1. Choose Your Hard: Life is full of challenges—pick the ones that push you forward, not the ones that hold you back.
2. Small Steps Create Big Change: Minor, consistent choices—like a healthier diet or a daily run—can snowball into profound personal growth.
3. Discipline = Freedom: Structure and discipline aren’t restrictions—they’re tools that unlock your potential and empower you to achieve your goals.
4. Lifelong Learning is Key: Journaling, reading, and self-reflection are essential for tracking progress and staying focused on your growth journey.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, my mind turns to the question: What am I grateful for? Focus on the good, and you’ll find it. Focus on the bad, and it will consume you.

What if the stories we tell ourselves are the keys to unlocking gratitude and growth? In this episode, I start with our "Hell for the Holidays" workout—a tradition that started in college with my brother and has become a family ritual.

From braving the early morning chill to savoring the shared victory, we uncover how a shift in mindset can turn a tough 7-mile run and demanding circuit into a celebration of discipline and gratitude.

There is immense power in gratitude. My life is glorious, not because it is perfect but because it is mine. Same goes for you.

Drive will get you started. Persistence will keep you going. Achieving greatness isn’t about speed; it’s about staying in the game long enough to win. Most people quit before they see results because it takes too long. Be the exception.

Key Takeaways:

1. Mindset Shapes Experience: A shift in perspective can transform ordinary or challenging routines into opportunities for gratitude, growth, and connection.
2. Growth Through Discomfort: Personal growth often comes from embracing challenges, whether it’s a grueling workout or moments of emotional vulnerability.
3. Small Acts of Kindness Create Big Ripples: Small gestures, like reaching out to a lonely neighbor, can have a profound impact on someone else’s life—and our own.
4. Gratitude is a Catalyst for Change: Practicing gratitude strengthens bonds, reinforces a sense of purpose, and helps us find meaning in both big and small efforts.
5. Discipline Fuels Long-Term Growth: Consistent, small efforts—whether in workouts, acts of kindness, or mindset shifts—are the foundation of meaningful personal transformation.

Life doesn’t always go your way. Circumstances shift, challenges arise, and some things are beyond your control. But there’s one thing you can always control—your thoughts. What you focus on shapes your reality. Want a better life? Start by imagining it.

Dreams don’t happen because you wish for them. They happen because you work for them. Want to be a musician? Practice every day. Can’t find the time? Make it. The only thing standing in your way is you. If it matters, you’ll prioritize it. If you don’t, be honest—you just don’t want it enough.

Discipline is self-respect in action. Respect yourself enough to do the work—not half-heartedly, but fully committed.

Intentionality is nothing without consistency. Showing up every day—even when it’s hard, even when you don’t feel like it—is the foundation of success. But consistency isn’t just about repetition. It’s about reflection. Where are you succeeding? Where can you improve?

Key Takeaways:

1. Your thoughts are your foundation. Focus on the good, and you’ll find it. Focus on the bad, and it will consume you.
2. Dedication requires discipline. Respect yourself enough to show up and do the work every day, even when it’s hard.
3. Consistency is the bridge between dreams and reality. Keep going. Adjust when needed. Don’t stop until you’ve built the life you’ve imagined.

Call to Action:
This week, choose one area of your life to attack with intention. Whether it’s fitness, career, or relationships, show up consistently, reflect honestly, and commit fully. Let me know how it goes—I want to hear about your wins, your struggles, and the lessons you’re learning along the way.

This episode dives into the gritty transition from heavy lifting to running, with my brother Drew who made some serious life changes. Through raw stories and hard-won lessons, we explore the pivotal moments that forced a shift toward a healthier, more intentional life.

Accountability was the cornerstone. Each milestone, from shedding the first few pounds to the grind of marathon training, proved that real transformation is built on discipline, structure, and a relentless drive to improve.

Crossing the finish line was more than a physical victory for Drew; it was a testament to time and resilience. The struggles and triumphs along the way forged mental strength, proving that the hardest battles are the ones fought within.

This episode is a call to action: embrace the discomfort, set bold goals, and commit fully to becoming the best version of yourself.

Life’s obstacles can feel like immovable walls. A tough breakup, a career setback, a goal that feels just out of reach. It’s easy to feel stuck, defeated, or overwhelmed. But what if those obstacles aren’t the problem? What if the way we see them is?

This episode is about transforming challenges into opportunities. Not by wishing them away, but by changing the way we think about them. The Stoics knew this centuries ago, and it’s just as true today. Marcus Aurelius wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” That’s a strategy for life.

We’ll talk about how reframing adversity changes the game. Think about Michael Jordan, cut from his high school basketball team but refusing to quit. Or David Goggins, who turned physical and mental pain into fuel for relentless growth. These stories are about grit. They’re about refusing to let setbacks define you.

I’ll share some of my own hard lessons—times I fell short, questioned myself, or wanted to give up. And how those moments weren’t the end of the road—they were the pivotal points. Whether it’s learning to celebrate others’ victories or finding strength in your own reflection, the key is this: the obstacle in front of you is the path forward.

Shakespeare said, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” That’s the core of this episode. Shift your perspective, and you’ll shift your reality.

This isn’t just about survival. It’s about thriving. About finding joy and strength right in the middle of the mess. Because every time you overcome, you’re building something unshakable. Yourself.

Have you ever let fear of failure or rejection hold you back?

It’s the one thing we all face, no matter how strong we think we are. And it’s sneaky—it shows up when we’re standing on the edge of something important.

Fear. It keeps us stuck, small, and safe. But safe doesn’t change the world. Safe doesn’t get you where you want to go.

I remember the first time I asked my wife out. I was terrified, not of her, but of rejection.

We all have our battles. Maybe it’s stepping up in your career. Maybe it’s starting that business you’ve been dreaming about. Maybe it’s standing your ground when everyone around you disagrees.

The point is, fear is relative. It feels big because we let it. But the life you want? It’s on the other side of that fear. Every dream, every goal, closer than you think—if you’re willing to push through the barrier.

Look at the greats.

Michael Jordan didn’t stay down when Detroit’s bad boys knocked him to the ground. Post Malone switched genres—leaving behind a comfortable, successful career because he followed what he loved. Florence Nightingale didn’t care what society thought; she answered her own call, and it changed everything. These are examples of what happens when we stop letting fear decide.

You want greatness? You’ll have to wrestle with fear. Every time. So how do you do it? How do you face it when your heart’s pounding, when your mind tells you to run?

Simple. You answer the call.

Pat Tillman did it when he left behind an NFL career for something bigger than himself. Florence Nightingale did it every day she showed up to care for the wounded. They weren’t fearless. But they acted in spite of it. And that’s the difference. Your call will look different from theirs, but the courage it takes? That’s universal.

It’s the same story we see in every hero’s journey. Hercules at the crossroads, choosing the hard path because it’s the right one. Courage calls. Do you answer?

Fear is a signal that you’re pushing boundaries, stepping into the unknown. And yeah, sometimes it feels overwhelming. But as Seneca said, “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” We blow things up in our heads, play out the worst-case scenarios, but the reality? It’s usually never that bad.

So, next time fear shows up, break it down. Look at it from every angle. See what’s really standing in your way. Fear is the enemy of progress. Don’t let it be the thing that stops you from achieving what you’re capable of.

What does it take to develop unwavering discipline and mental toughness?

In this episode, my brother Drew and I have a conversation about how David Goggins’ Never Finished impacted our lives. Goggins might not be your typical athlete, but his mindset is right up there with legends like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.

Drew talks about his journey toward consistency, especially in running, and the lessons on resilience and dedication that apply to anyone, no matter where you’re coming from.

Personal growth starts with small, intentional steps that help build mental toughness over time. We focus on how routines can turn hard things into habits, using running as a metaphor for tackling life’s bigger challenges.

Goggins and Bryant both inspire us to keep pushing for improvement, and we share some of the ways we’ve stayed motivated and mentally strong through setbacks. We also touch on the balance between chasing big goals and staying grounded in personal growth.

Failure and setbacks are part of the deal, but what really matters is how we respond to them. We share some personal stories about hitting low points and the importance of seeing those moments as chances to learn and grow.

In the end, it’s all about hard work, honesty, and staying true to your values—because that’s how you build confidence and live a more balanced life.

Achieving your dreams requires patience and perseverance.

True progress comes from mastering the art of patience, starting with yourself. By being compassionate toward your own journey, you set the foundation for sustainable success.

In life, patience with friends and partners strengthens connections. It supports their growth and, in turn, deepens your bonds. When you invest time and effort into these relationships, you create a foundation of trust that lasts.

It demands consistency, resilience, and the ability to set realistic goals. Avoiding burnout means understanding that mastery is built over time, not by rushing the process.

Can embracing the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophers truly transform your life? On this episode of the Getting After It podcast, we’re diving deep into the practical power of Stoicism, and I guarantee you’ll walk away with strategies that will help you not just survive but thrive through life’s toughest moments. Inspired by the relentless grit of David Goggins and the timeless teachings of Stoics like Epictetus and Seneca, we’ll break down how embracing adversity can unlock a version of you that’s stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.

In this episode, I share actionable steps you can apply immediately to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Whether you’re chasing personal development, aiming to crush it in your career, or seeking deeper connections in your relationships, this episode has something for you. The Stoics believed that hardship is an inevitable part of life, but instead of resisting it, we can learn to see it as a chance to prove and strengthen our character. It’s a mindset shift that can lead to profound inner strength.

Instead of passively accepting difficulties or letting them overwhelm you, Stoicism teaches us to take rational, decisive action. That means confronting your problems head-on, with courage and clarity, rather than shrinking back. We’ll discuss how this approach can help you overcome procrastination, eliminate distractions, and leverage supportive relationships to propel you forward.

And let’s not forget the importance of physicality. Whether it’s a daily run, hitting the gym, or even just a walk to clear your head, I’ll touch on how taking care of your body fuels your mind. Goggins is a huge proponent of pushing physical limits, and it’s no coincidence that Stoics like Marcus Aurelius believed in the same. Physical resilience is directly tied to mental resilience. It’s about constantly improving, even when it feels like life is throwing everything it’s got at you.

Throughout the episode, you’ll hear stories—both ancient and modern—about how reframing your judgments and tapping into available resources can make a huge difference in how you experience adversity.

Grab your favorite beverage, because Ally Rossell and I are about to take you on a wild ride through our first year of marriage. We talk a lot about doing long-distance through our first year. Spoiler Alert: it sucks...

Now, if you’re thinking that sounds like a recipe for chaos, you’re not entirely wrong. Here’s the kicker: we didn’t just survive this long-distance whirlwind; we thrived. How? By treating our marriage with the same focused dedication that Ally brings to her flight training—think care, consistency, and discipline.

In this episode, we discussed how we managed to keep the spark alive while navigating the miles between us. From turning those rare, cherished weekends together into mini honeymoons to keeping the romance fresh with regular ‘virtual dates’ that were filled with soul-searching conversations, we’ve packed this episode with heartfelt reflections and a few tips we picked up along the way.

We’re talking about the kind of growth that happens when you’re forced to confront your quirks, embrace your partner’s, and learn to laugh at the absurdity of it all—like those times when we’ve had to channel our inner Dr. Phil to navigate the trickier conversations about health, spirituality, and the meaning of life. And yes, there were also a few random but fascinating detours into the dangers of grizzly bears and the mind-blowing wonders of outer space, because why not?

You’ll hear how we’ve managed to stay grounded and connected through shared curiosities and intentional togetherness, even when miles apart. Whether it’s our discussions about the challenges we’ve faced or the little victories we’ve celebrated—like finally syncing up our Sunday traditions—you’ll get a front-row seat to the personal transformations that have made our bond stronger than ever.

We’re also shining a spotlight on our support for one another, which is perhaps most visible in our shared passion for running. Yep, we’ve both hit some serious marathon milestones this year, and we’re here to tell you that there’s nothing quite like crossing a finish line—literal or metaphorical—with the person you love cheering you on.

And because we’re all about looking forward, we’re sharing our vision for the future—one that’s filled with the values we hope to instill in our future kiddos and the loving, faith-filled home we’re working to build together. It’s a future where those quirky Sunday traditions we’ve come to cherish are passed down, where resilience and faith are the bedrock of our family life.

Whether you’re navigating your own long-distance relationship or just looking for a bit of inspiration on how to keep the magic alive in your relationship, this episode is a heartfelt celebration of love, growth, and the sheer joy that comes from building a life with someone you adore.

Today, we're sitting down with Michael Washington, a guy who went from navigating gang-ridden streets to navigating the skies. As an Allegiant captain and dedicated foster parent, Michael’s story isn’t just inspirational—it’s a lesson on resilience, humility, and unwavering faith.

Growing up in some of the toughest neighborhoods, he could have easily taken a different path. But with faith as his compass and authenticity as his co-pilot, Michael turned his life into a beacon of hope. We learn how he embraced his own narrative and found positivity even when the odds were stacked against him.

We learn how faith and self-reflection shaped his life. He talks about growing up in a black church in Arkansas. Michael’s take on commandments? They’re not just rules; they’re life’s cheat codes, guiding us toward a higher purpose.

We dive into his involvement in foster care and parenthood, where Michael opens up about the challenges and rewards that come with the territory. Then, we take to the skies, exploring his thrilling adventures in aviation. From close calls to navigating restricted airspaces Mike's done it all.

We wrap up this episode by celebrating the power of community and persistence. Michael’s journey reminds us that life’s most incredible transformations come from faith, service, and a willingness to keep pushing forward. So, whether you’re facing tough times or just need a dose of inspiration, Michael’s story is proof that with the right mindset, you can soar to new heights.

What if facing the reality of death could actually make life a whole lot more colorful and meaningful? In this episode, we’re getting deep—like, existential-crisis deep.

I’m sharing the story of how a personal showdown with a serious illness flipped my world upside down and introduced me to the concept of memento mori—a fancy way of saying, ‘Remember, you’re gonna die.’

But here’s the kicker: embracing our mortality can actually help us zero in on what really counts—like soaking up time with the people we love and actually enjoying the little things.

We’re diving into how aligning our actions with our true values can lead to a life that’s not just lived but savored. It’s your reminder that life is short, so let’s make every day count.

We talk about the not-so-fun-but-necessary stuff. Last November, I had a real come-to-Jesus moment when I realized my work-life balance was more like a teeter-totter gone rogue. Channeling my inner Steve Jobs, I had to face the brutal truth and make some gutsy moves to get back on track with what truly matters. This episode is all about getting real with yourself, figuring out what brings you joy, and then chasing it like your life depends on it—because, spoiler alert, it kinda does.

Grab your favorite beverage, tune in, and let’s chat about how practicing gratitude and committing to self-improvement can set you on the path to living fully and authentically. It’s time to take that first step towards your goals and start appreciating each and every moment you’ve got. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one.

Alright, folks, this episode is a two-year deep dive into the wild ride of podcasting.

Spoiler alert: authenticity trumps pandering every single time.

Bold risks, the power of showing up, and why chasing trends is like trying to catch smoke—fleeting and ultimately pointless.

I talk about the personal growth and resilience required to make things happen, all while I shamelessly brag about the sheer awesomeness of my wife, Ally, who makes everything in life just a bit more epic.

And because no episode is complete without name-dropping legends, we’re pulling wisdom from the likes of Winston Churchill and Michael Jordan—because who better to school us on consistency and discipline?

This isn’t just a pep talk; it’s a call to arms against self-doubt, with a little help from our Stoic buddy Marcus Aurelius. And hey, it turns out the strength we need is right there in the people we love. As we wrap things up, I want to throw a massive thank you to our listeners. And by the way, Dr. Phil, if you’re tuning in, consider this your official invite to join the fun!

In this episode, we dive into Ryan Holiday's "Right Thing Right Now," breaking down its core messages through the lens of timeless virtues celebrated by Stoic greats like Marcus Aurelius.

We explore how these principles can transform our modern lives by dissecting the book into three powerful sections: personal integrity ('me'), sociopolitical responsibility ('we'), and collective human effort ('all').

I’m also sharing my journey of running an ultra marathon for a friend battling cancer, showcasing the enduring power of integrity and compassion.

Let’s get real about honesty. Reflecting on my grandfather’s unshakeable commitment to his word, we uncover the value of integrity in personal relationships and professional settings.

I’ll share business experiences where transparency, even when admitting mistakes, built trust and credibility. We also look at the courageous actions of whistleblowers, inspired by the principles of truth upheld by Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Finally, we focus on taking responsibility for our goals. Drawing inspiration from F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "The Adjuster," we’ll explore the transformative journey from entitlement to maturity. I’ll share my own experiences with fitness goals and the practice of daily journaling, emphasizing the importance of leaving a legacy of lessons for future generations.

Join the conversation, share your stories, and keep pushing forward. Together, we’re building a community of shared learning and mutual motivation. Tune in next week for more insights and keep getting after it!

Welcome to an episode where grit meets the ground—my first-ever 50K ultra-marathon through the unforgiving terrain of the Arizona desert.

Today, I take you through the relentless months of training, the mental battles of carb loading, and the deep personal drives that fueled me to push past the boundaries of pain and exhaustion.

This race was more than just a physical test; it was a tribute to my father-in-law, Tim, and my friend, Jordan Gallup, who is fiercely battling stage four colon cancer.

From enduring the brutal desert heat to fighting through nausea and gear malfunctions, I share the gritty details of each mile. Throughout the race, I had to rely on the unwavering support from my family and friends, particularly my wife, Ally, was crucial in keeping me moving forward.

I talk about how endurance running serves as a powerful metaphor for life's toughest challenges, emphasizing the importance of resilience and the impact of fulfilling promises to oneself and to others. This race wasn't just about crossing a finish line; yes, it was important to me to see what I was capable of. More importantly, it was about honoring the spirit of those who inspire us to tackle the impossible and showing that with the right support, any challenge can be made easier with love.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to announce new developments for our podcast. Expect riveting guest interviews, insightful book and essay reviews, and in-depth discussions on historical figures and core values like faith and discipline. Each episode is designed to bring valuable lessons and inspiration to our listeners. We'll dive into stories of perseverance, the role of support, and the transformative power of pushing personal limits for causes greater than ourselves.

Join me on this journey of endurance, support, discipline, consistency, grit, and unyielding determination.

"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never." Those words from Winston Churchill set the stage for an episode packed with powerful lessons in resilience and adaptability.

Broadcasting from Nashville, we're diving into Churchill's fascinating life—from his aristocratic origins and early academic struggles to his unwavering confidence and drive to improve. I’ll share some personal stories and experiences to illuminate why Churchill's relentless pursuit of his goals and his ability to adapt make him an enduring figure for anyone striving for greatness.

In this episode, we’ll recount Churchill's bold adventures across various battlefields—Cuba, India, and South Africa, including his daring escape during the Boer War.

Quotes like, "I am so conceited..." and "History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it," show just how confident he was. Despite political setbacks, like his fall after the Gallipoli campaign, Churchill's resilience never wavered. We’ll examine his pivotal role as Prime Minister during World War II, focusing on critical moments like the Nazi invasion of France, and how he turned failures into stepping stones for success.

We'll also talk about how Churchill's motivational speeches during World War II, such as "give us the tools and we will finish the job," can inspire our personal ambitions today.

Drawing parallels between historical events like the evacuation of Dunkirk and our daily challenges, we’ll underscore the importance of small, consistent efforts and maintaining a positive mindset.

Life's about rolling with the punches, and trust me, I've taken my fair share. While Ally, takes to the skies with Allegiant, my own world felt like it was doing barrel rolls without our daily routines.

In this episode, I'm laying it all out - the power of those tiny habits, like setting out your workout gear the night before. They might seem like small things, but they're the bedrock of our well-being. Ally might be cruising at 30,000 feet, but here on the ground, I'm more determined than ever to make her proud, doubling down on my fitness and lifestyle goals with a fresh sense of purpose.

If you've ever tuned into Joe Rogan, you've heard about that 'general' he talks about - that inner drill sergeant who pushes you to keep going.

Well, I've had a few face-offs with my own general. It's a voice that can either pump you up or pull you down. I'll share how mastering this internal force is key, not just for resisting those late-night snack raids, but for embracing Aristotle's idea that excellence is a habit.

Steady, consistent effort always outshines those one-off sprints, whether in sports or in business. I want to pass the mic to you. This isn't just my storytime; it's a community where your voices and experiences shape the bigger picture we're building together.

Share your own stories of discipline, consistency, and the life changes that test them. Let's keep this conversation buzzing, because it's your insights, reviews, and tales that make this journey worth it.

When Drew Rossell crossed the finish line, he wasn't focused on the thrill of victory—he was craving the next big challenge.

In our latest podcast episode, we tap into that spirit, inspired by the legendary Kobe Bryant and his iconic 'job's not finished' mindset. Our discussion explores the imperative of perpetual growth, influenced by giants like Bryant who leave a legacy that transcends basketball, shaping our approaches to sports, family, and leadership. We delve into personal development stories and the art of setting practical goals, providing a roadmap to sustained excellence and the continuous drive needed to stay focused and motivated.

This episode goes beyond just improving run times; it goes into the mental and physical challenge that running is. We unpack how a rigorous sports regimen can foster the confidence and fortitude necessary to overcome any challenge life throws at you.

The entire reason I share our journeys of setting ambitious targets, the transformative impact of unwavering commitment, and the psychological struggles of competing against oneself, is to learn lessons you can apply to your own life.

Balancing lofty fitness aspirations with family life might seem daunting, but Emeli and Drew demonstrate that it’s possible to merge the two seamlessly. Drew shares his experiences of pursuing high-level running goals while raising a young family, illustrating the balance that is both challenging and immensely fulfilling. You’ll also gain insights into the teamwork that fuels success, reminiscent of the synergy seen in teams like the Redeem Team.

We conclude the episode by celebrating the quiet triumphs that come from dedication and hard work, highlighting the beauty of relentless improvement and the endless quest for personal betterment.

Coming live from Sin City – Under the neon glow of Vegas, where life's vibrancy is matched only by its unpredictability, I've found moments of clarity and connection. Here, between the buzzing streets and the quiet solace of my thoughts, I've rediscovered the essence of what it means to be truly alive alongside my life's partner, Ally.

It's in these breaks from the whirlwind of everyday life, these stolen moments of togetherness, that we recharge and remind ourselves of the journey we're on together. This episode is meant to help you get to know me a little better.

Diving into the pages of Jocko Willink's "Extreme Ownership" has been nothing short of a game changer for me. It's a guide that's reshaped the way I navigate the obstacles life throws my way, turning what once seemed like insurmountable hurdles into opportunities to learn, grow, and lead with conviction.

Now, let me take you on the trails of my running adventures, where every step is a lesson in pushing beyond the limits. The "10 minute rule" has been my secret weapon—a simple yet profound commitment to just start, to move, to run. This rule isn't just about building physical strength; it's a metaphor for life, teaching us that the power of consistent, disciplined action can help us overcome financial woes, navigate the complex dynamics of family life, and chase down the dreams that set our souls on fire.

In this journey of the mind, I've found inspiration in voices like those from Modern Wisdom and The Joe Rogan Podcast. They're not just sources of entertainment; they're gateways to new ideas, and philosophies that sharpen my perspective and challenge me to think bigger, to be better.

To nurture greatness, not just within ourselves but in the generations to follow, is perhaps the most significant journey of all. This conversation isn't just about what we achieve; it's about the mark we leave on the world and the paths we pave for those who will walk them after us.

Do you remember the first time you faced a challenge that seemed insurmountable?

This episode is about the lessons we learn when we push beyond our limits, when we choose to do the hard things. Let's embark on a powerful exploration of overcoming adversity, finding strength in struggles, and learning that saying, "I can do hard things," goes beyond mere words.

From honing in on physical and mental resilience by understanding the depth of human potential, each story is a testament to the growth that happens when we step out of comfort zones.

As we face life's challenges, there's a superpower we often forget – the power of a supportive community.

Let's talk about the Team Tim race, a powerful tribute to a man who believed in stretching one's limits and finding confidence in the face of adversity. Just like running a race, life requires consistency, discipline, and a strong community to cheer us on during the hardest parts.

By the end of this episode, I hope you'll not only be ready to face any challenge life throws at you but also appreciate the power of a strong, supportive community. Remember, it's through these experiences we become stronger, wiser, and more resilient. So, let's do hard things together!

It's okay to start small. In fact, showing up and going all in, even if that simply means walking in and out of the gym every day, is a good place to start. This principle is illustrated with an anecdote from the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. And remember, the size of your goals doesn't matter as much as your dedication and consistency in pursuing them.

The journey to achieving your goals is often a slow and steady one, filled with many ups and downs. This is a concept I focus on in our discussion on the power of discipline and slow progress.

Stepping into the gym can be intimidating, especially when you see others lifting weights twice their size. But remember, everyone starts somewhere. Merely showing up and observing the environment can be an excellent first step. The secret to success isn't in extreme bursts of energy, but in the consistency of showing up and taking small steps towards your goal every day.

What changes can you make to endure the journey to your goal more efficiently?

I challenge you to reflect on your own goals and devise ways to make the pursuit enjoyable and fulfilling. Remember, you can do hard things, and with consistent effort and discipline, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

In this heartfelt episode, I dive into the complexities of our modern lives, challenging the societal push for 'more' and exploring how it entangles both our personal and professional worlds. I share my personal strategies and insights on decluttering the mind, setting meaningful goals, and truly prioritizing what matters most in life.

Join me as I unfold the significance of embracing consistency, persistence, and even the mundane moments of life, illustrating how these elements are essential in making substantial progress in our journey of personal growth. I place a strong emphasis on the value of meaningful work and the creation of valuable content, guiding you through the process of cutting through distractions and staying laser-focused on your core objectives.

In this episode, I delve into the transformative world of creativity and innovation, highlighting how simplifying various aspects of life can lead to enhanced concentration and a state of overall well-being. I share my reflections on the power of introspection, demonstrating how this practice can unlock your creative potential and help you live more in the moment.

Together, we will challenge conventional definitions of success and redefine it on our own terms, aligning it with our personal values and aspirations. I provide actionable strategies to live a more intentional, productive, and efficient life, eliminating unnecessary clutter and honing in on what truly matters.

Robert Sapolsky put it, “If we were designed by engineers, as we consumed more, we’d desire less. But our frequent human tragedy is that the more we consume, the hungrier we get. More and faster and stronger. What was an unexpected pleasure yesterday is what we feel entitled to today, and what won’t be enough tomorrow.”

This episode is inspired by Gerwinder Bogle's enlightening quote about our future selves watching us through memories. Will they be filled with regret or nostalgia? That's up to us and the choices we make.

Step into the vivid world of an artist whose brush strokes tell the tale of choices, emotions, and memories. We dissect this parable to explore the impact of mindful living and how it can shape our decisions. Strategies are shared to help you be more proactive with your decisions, highlighting the power of mindfulness in shaping our reality.

We also delve into Steve Jobs' approach to embracing life and Will Smith's perspective on creating meaningful impacts, all pointing towards the essence of intentionality.

Lastly, we tackle the barriers that can hold us back from achieving our goals - fear and judgment. I share insights on how the extra effort we put in can lead to happiness and how living intentionally can help us view our past struggles with nostalgia instead of regret.

Challenge yourself to be more intentional with your decisions and the way you live your life. Join us in this stimulating conversation and let's dare to live a life with fewer regrets and more fulfilled dreams.

Transform your fear into contagious courage. This episode is an episode of fear and courage, featuring inspirational insights from TED Talks speaker Damon Davis.

Davis shares his experience participating in the Ferguson, Missouri protests in 2014, where he witnessed courage in the midst of fear and anger. His story serves as a reminder of the strength that lies within us, waiting to be sparked by the choice to be courageous.

I also share thoughts from Rob Jones, Theodore Roosevelt's, and David Goggins, who show us how a single act of courage can ignite a wave of collective growth, dispelling fear along the way.

I discuss strategies for standing up to fear, taking action despite being scared, and how documenting our journey can fuel our motivation.

Ever found yourself lost in the chaos of the world and have a hard time being present in the moment? I learned a lesson during the St. George half marathon that might help - "stop looking for the silver balloon..."

I share how the camaraderie and the thrill of the race taught me the importance of living in the moment rather than just focusing on crossing the finish line.

A simple biblical story of the ten lepers unfolds the power of gratitude and the way it can touch our lives. As I unravel this narrative, think about the blessings that you often take for granted and how acknowledging them can lead you on a path of personal growth and resilience.

From the race tracks to the biblical recounts, we have a discussion about the significance of mindfulness in today's world of constant distraction.

I open up about my personal experiences and share how journaling has helped me find tranquility amidst chaos. It’s about cherishing the little moments that eventually make up the big memories.

Lastly, I share some insightful lessons from our marathon training and how the spirit of being present and grateful can guide us in achieving our goals.

“Wake up early. Limit interruptions. Make a little progress everyday. Say no (a lot). Learn from your mistakes. Pick yourself back up when you slip. Waste no time measuring yourself against other people.” – Ryan Holiday

I kick off the conversation by discussing the philosophy of 'winning the day,' and the art of saying no. I talk about it all the time but, small consistent steps towards your goals and limiting outside interruptions is how you make incremental progress

I talk about the myth of multitasking head-on and reveal why honing in on one task at a time is the real ticket to productivity.

Tracking progress is crucial and there are surprising benefits of taking intentional breaks. Learn the importance of celebrating small victories and why sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is to 'take it easy.'

I introduce the concept of 'extreme ownership' again, and why keeping your ego in check is crucial for progress. Reframing mistakes as opportunities for growth and why measuring ourselves against others can be harmful rather than helpful.

Lastly, I dive into the power of gratitude and realize that using gratitude can serve as a potent reminder to appreciate our unique journeys. Jump in and let's Get After It.

Have you ever felt the relentless pressure to be constantly productive?

That was my struggle when pneumonia hit me hard, a tale filled with severe back pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath that I'll share in this episode.

The process of falling ill and the journey to recovery wasn't just about fighting the sickness; it was a battle of balancing work, personal goals, and health. I learned the hard way that the human body is not invincible; it needs time to rest and heal.

Despite my desire to keep the wheels of productivity turning, I had to learn the art of slowing down, and how my inability to do so resulted in a health scare that put me in the hospital.

This episode is a testament to the power of consistency and how it influences success. I've learned you're already doing better than you think if you're consistently working towards a goal. So join me as we navigate through this story of pain, resilience, and self-realization.

Rob Jones - a former Marine Corps combat engineer, but also an endurance athlete and a Bronze medal-winning Paralympian. Rob's journey doesn't end there. After losing both legs above the knee to an IED in Afghanistan, he defied the odds by cycling across the country and running 31 marathons back-to-back, all with a vision to inspire and lead.

Rob's story is a lesson in resiliency and the power of the human spirit. As he takes us through his early years on a farm, he shares how his strong work ethic and disciplined mindset were shaped, qualities that later became his pillars in the Marine Corps. Listen closely as Rob opens up about his most challenging moments and how his instinctual, selfless acts were a testament to his unyielding purpose. With every struggle, Rob's inspiring perspective on life shines through, making this podcast episode a masterclass in overcoming adversity.

In the latter part of our discussion, we delve into Rob's transition from recovery to becoming an extraordinary endurance athlete. His journey from the 2012 Paralympics to tackling a cross-country cycle and marathons is a testament to his astounding determination and sheer mental strength. Rob also imparts wisdom on the importance of breaking down seemingly impossible tasks into achievable goals, a strategy that continues to fuel his pursuits. Rob's valuable lessons on selflessness, leadership, gratitude, and fatherhood are why I started this podcast.

Remember that time you pushed yourself to make it just one more mile? Running is not just a physical pursuit, it's a journey filled with countless stories of resilience and camaraderie. This episode takes you on a marathon of emotions, recounting tales of personal struggles, community support, and triumphant victories.

We share our experience of the Team Tim race, where 55 runners banded together to honor a loved one lost to cancer, embodying the unity and strength of the running community. The episode isn't just about running, it's about facing challenges head-on and emerging stronger.

As we edge closer to the St. George Marathon, we discuss how community support can spur personal progress, as evidenced by a friend who shaved 10 minutes off his time in mere months. Through these stories and more, we explore the transformative power of running and the unique bond that forms among those who share this journey.

Ever thought about running a marathon? Ever dismissed the thought because you believed that running is only for 'runners'? Join me as I share my personal journey towards running a sub-three marathon in February, and how it's become a tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

You'll also hear the inspiring story of JT Conover, who started with a quarter mile a day and now runs longer distances, proving running is indeed for everyone. (kind of like Fast & Furious)

Running isn't a walk in the park, but oh, it's worth it! It all starts with putting one foot in front of the other, then suddenly, you're confronting your limits and discovering new potentials. I'll share how from starting small, consistent efforts yielded amazing progress.

I cover examples from people like Nick Bare, a CEO and fitness influencer, who once vowed never to run again. But guess what? Today, he's set to run the Last Man Standing Race, an ultra marathon in Maine. If he can, so can you.

Not only is running a physical feat, but it's also a mental battle. It teaches resilience and endurance in the face of life's challenges. I also discuss the importance of listening to your body and taking a step back when necessary to avoid injury. Let's do what most people aren't willing to do. Let's run!

It's time to Get After It – navigating through fear and turning it into a catalyst for success can be a challenging journey. However, today, we're pulling back the curtain on this powerful realm, sharing how we've dared greatly, failed, and bounced back with renewed determination. This conversation will provide you with insights on consistency, the power of Theodore Roosevelt's words, and how striving for the things we fear can alter our lives.

There is a genuine transformation that comes from embracing struggle, and its effects on personal growth. I discuss how physical pursuits keep me grounded and help me understand life's multifaceted complexities.

I talk about the value of support systems, and how being transparent about the sacrifices needed for success can become an integral part of the journey. I also share my personal experience of starting a podcast, the balancing act it entails, and how I learned to set priorities amidst numerous options.

You can do more than you think you can. The first step is to start. Never let fear decide the outcome of your life.

Wassup everybody? I'm back – as a runner training for an upcoming marathon, I've embarked on a journey of self-discovery and growth. I've recently tied the knot, started a new job, and I'm excited to share my personal stories of progress and perseverance with you all to inspire you to challenge yourselves as well.

I'm captivated by the story of David Goggins, from his book "Never Finished", which perfectly encapsulates these concepts. Plus, I go into the significance of having a solid support system that fuels your ambitions. As someone who's had the privilege of being surrounded by inspirational people, I can't overstate the importance of this network.

With the right mindset, anything is possible. It's cheesy, but it's true. As I refocus my energy on this podcast, I invite you all to challenge yourselves, step out of your comfort zones, and join me on this exciting journey. Let's make the impossible, possible.

I've been reading a lot. Most recently about David Goggins, a man who rose from a difficult childhood to become a Navy SEAL and an ultra-marathon runner.

It's a story of perpetual self-improvement that will motivate you to question your own boundaries and strive for new heights. We'll share insights from his book 'Never Finished' and discuss how he commits to the pursuit of self-belief every single day.

The journey doesn't stop there. We also discuss the fleeting nature of success, referencing popular TV shows 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody' and 'iCarly', to demonstrate that success isn't permanent.

I delve into the philosophy of never resting on your laurels, and the importance of taking control of your life. Staying true to yourself, making hard decisions, and not fearing the disappointment of others is the key to truly living.

Strap in for a riveting conversation with Zack Shepherd, the dynamic founder of the Fatherhood Initiative. We kick-start our discussion celebrating their latest success - the hard-earned approval by the IRS, marking a significant landmark for the organization.

Zack walks us through the process and the doors it opens for the Fatherhood Initiative, not least of which is the ability to receive tax-deductible donations, further propelling their worthy cause.

Our conversation then turns to the core mission of the Fatherhood Initiative - fostering a culture that recognizes and values the role of fathers. Zack eloquently articulates the goals of their resource-heavy Father Figures program, designed to equip fathers and promote responsible decisions.

Equally noteworthy is their Future Fathers program, tailored for high-school and college-aged kids, underscoring the importance of positive father figures from a tender age.

Intriguingly, we also delve into the power of narratives and how they shape societal views around parenting and fatherhood.

We study the lives of successful men like David Goggins and Cam Hanes, observing the profound impact of father-child relationships. Wrapping up our chat, Zack lays out the plans for the future of the Fatherhood Initiative, from launching the Father Figures program to organizing live events.

This episode is an enlightening journey through the mission of promoting positive fatherhood and addressing fatherlessness, so don't miss it.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss how mentorship plays a pivotal role in our journey towards success. It provides guidance, support, and wisdom that can propel us forward and boost our self-confidence.

Finding a mentor may seem daunting, but it's worth the effort. Start by identifying individuals who have achieved what you aspire to in your field.

Don't underestimate the power of being a mentor yourself. By sharing your knowledge and experiences, you not only uplift others but also reinforce your own expertise.

Seek out mentors who can guide, support, and push you beyond your limits. And remember, be a mentor yourself and share your knowledge with others.

In this episode, we will be discussing the importance of setting challenging goals for yourself and how they can help you achieve your full potential.

Setting goals that are challenging can help you push yourself beyond your limits and achieve things that you might not have thought were possible. It can be easy to get stuck in a routine and become comfortable with where you are, but setting challenging goals can help you break out of that and aim for something bigger.

We will be exploring different types of goals you can set for yourself, from personal to professional, short-term to long-term. We'll also be discussing how to set goals that are challenging but still realistic and achievable.

Throughout the episode, we'll also be addressing some common obstacles that people face when setting challenging goals, such as fear of failure or feeling overwhelmed. We'll provide practical advice on how to overcome these obstacles and stay on track towards your goals.

By the end of the episode, you'll have a better understanding of the benefits of setting challenging goals for yourself, as well as practical strategies for how to set and achieve those goals.

In this podcast episode, Brett differentiates between what it means to be committed to your goals rather than just being interested in them. 

When we create a goal, we are most enthusiastic about making it happen. But when things become difficult, part of that enthusiasm fades away for most of us. 

Goals require effort, consistency, and patience.

When you set out to create goals, ask yourself whether or not you are committed to achieving them, or just interested in the outcome.
