    Falling to Grace: How Hitting Rock Bottom Can Save a Man’s Life with Collin Chartier

    Every 13 minutes in America, a man takes his own life. This podcast exists to push back that clock by helping men discover, learn, and live their Why. In this episode, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi sits down for a raw, unfiltered conversation with former professional triathlete Collin Chartier, a man who reached the absolute pinnacle of his sport, only to have it all come crashing down. At 29 years old, Collin was ranked 11th in the world when he became the center of the biggest doping scandal in triathlon history. Stripped of his career, his profession, and his entire identity overnight, he faced a brutal wave of public scrutiny and isolation. But what felt like the end was actually a brutal catalyst for rebirth. Collin opens up about the relentless pressure of the "never enough" mindset, the gray zones that lead to self-sabotage, and how hitting bottom wasn't a fall from grace, but a profound fall to grace. Dr. B connects Collin's athletic collapse to his own painful transition away from life as a pulpit rabbi, exposing the traps men fall into when their self-worth is entirely tied to their achievements. Together, they break down the psychology of the "ego-protective mechanism," the danger of suffering in silence, and why self-actualization means nothing without self-transcendence. Plus, Collin takes Dr. B through a powerful, live 4-minute pattern-interrupt breath work practice. They dive into the physiological science of box breathing, how fabricating anxiety through CO2 tolerance trains the nervous system to choose response over reaction, and why mastering your breath is the ultimate form of grounding. From running rim-to-rim-to-rim at the Grand Canyon to his upcoming 2,000-mile "Running Home" project for addiction recovery and mental health, Collin’s story is a living blueprint for any man who needs to dismantle his false self and build a life on solid ground.

    From Loneliness to Community: Faith, Fitness, and Finding Your Why with Trent Poulsen

    In this episode, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi sits down with Trent Poulsen, co-founder of Ember and Ice and host of the upcoming Out of Pocket podcast, for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about what it takes to build a meaningful life from the inside out. Trent opens up about growing up in a small mountain town outside Boulder, battling depression and suicidal thoughts in high school, and how loneliness quietly shaped his early years. He shares the role substances played in helping him find connection in college, and what it looked like to eventually walk away from them and build something real. Together they explore how Ember and Ice grew from a personal need for community into a nature-based sanctuary for connection and healing, and what happened when the business hit a wall and had to pivot. They also dig into faith in a secular world, the difference between trust and conviction, Trent's unexpected path to Christianity, fitness as a means versus an end, and what Viktor Frankl would say about a six-pack of abs. This is a conversation about the kind of man you become when you stop running from loneliness and start building toward something bigger than yourself.
