    Ep 86. “You Are Not Alone: Starting the Conversation”

    Welcome to today’s episode. Its your Boy Smeltz and this episode is dedicated to Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. This is a month that asks us to do something incredibly important: Pay attention. Pay attention to the people around us. Pay attention to the people we love. Pay attention to the people who may be struggling silently. And, perhaps most importantly, pay attention to ourselves. Because suicide prevention isn’t just about what happens when someone reaches a crisis point. Prevention can begin much earlier. It can begin with connection. It can begin with asking a question. It can begin with listening. It can begin with helping someone find professional support. It can begin with checking on the person who always says, “I’m fine.” And it can begin with learning that talking about suicide directly and compassionately does not have to be frightening. Today’s episode is not intended to replace professional mental-health care. Instead, it’s an invitation. An invitation to learn. An invitation to talk. An invitation to notice. And an invitation to remember that behind statistics and headlines are individual human beings—people with families, friends, dreams, struggles, memories, and stories. People whose lives matter. So wherever you are while you’re listening—whether you’re driving, walking, working, sitting at home, or simply taking a few minutes for yourself—I want you to take a breath. And let’s have this conversation. Today we’re talking about suicide, suicide prevention, emotional pain, and mental health. We will not be discussing graphic details or methods. But even talking about suicide can bring up difficult emotions or memories. If this subject is personally difficult for you, please take care of yourself. You can pause this episode, step away, talk to someone you trust, or come back to it another time. And if you are in immediate danger or believe you may hurt yourself, please stop listening and seek immediate help. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is an immediate physical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. You don’t have to handle a crisis by yourself.

    Ep 85. Courage Over Silence: Honoring the Legacy of Charlie Kirk

    What’s popping my peeps and welcome back to another episode of the pod today is kind of a serious episode. There are some moments in history that make you stop. You stop scrolling. You stop arguing. You stop thinking about whatever seemed important five minutes ago. And you realize that something has changed. One year ago today, on September 10th, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was 31 years old. A husband. A father. A son. A friend. A Christian. A political activist. A debater. A founder. And, for millions of people, a voice. Today, I don’t want to spend this episode talking about Charlie as a political celebrity. I don’t want to turn him into a perfect man. I don’t want to pretend he never made mistakes. And I don’t want this to become another political shouting match. I want to talk about something deeper. I want to talk about what it means to have courage. Because whatever you thought about Charlie Kirk politically, there is one thing that is impossible to deny: The man was willing to speak. He was willing to walk onto college campuses where he knew he would be challenged. He was willing to sit across from people who disagreed with him. He was willing to put a microphone in front of himself and say: Prove me wrong. That phrase became part of his identity. And today, I think the most important part of Charlie Kirk’s legacy isn’t simply what political positions he held. It’s the question he leaves behind for us: What are you willing to stand for when it would be easier to stay quiet? Because courage doesn’t always look like a stadium. Sometimes courage looks like telling the truth to one person. Sometimes it’s standing up when everyone else sits down. Sometimes it’s refusing to laugh when everybody else is mocking something you believe is sacred. Sometimes it’s telling your children what you believe. Sometimes it’s going to church when it’s unpopular. Sometimes it’s defending a friend who isn’t in the room. Sometimes it’s having a respectful conversation with someone you completely disagree with. And sometimes— sometimes courage is simply refusing to let fear determine what you say, what you believe, or how you live. That is what I want this episode to be about. Not worshiping a political figure. Not creating a saint. But remembering a man who believed his life had a purpose. And asking ourselves what we are going to do with the time that we have.

    Ep 84. “Adversity Is a Privilege”: The Alexander Volkanovski Mindset

    Yo, what’s popping my peeps and welcome to today’s episode today. We are diving into a very sensitive topic. We’re diving into a very personal topic. We are talking about the famous quote by UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. The quote is simple and straight to the .4 words “Adversity is a Privilege” Let me ask y’all something What if the thing you’re trying hardest to avoid… is actually the thing you need most? What if failure isn’t proof that you’re not good enough? What if losing isn’t the opposite of winning? What if getting knocked down… being doubted… getting older… losing confidence… having people tell you that your best days are behind you… isn’t the end of your story? What if it’s the beginning of the most important chapter? Because there’s a phrase that Alexander Volkanovski used after one of the biggest victories of his career. A phrase that sounds simple. Almost too simple. He said: “Adversity is a privilege.” Think about that. Not— “Adversity is unfortunate.” Not— “Adversity is something I wish I didn’t have to go through.” Not— “I can’t believe how difficult this was.” He called it a privilege. And today, we’re going to unpack exactly what that means. Because Alexander Volkanovski didn’t say those words from the comfort of a couch. He said them after going through one of the most difficult stretches of his professional career. He had lost the UFC featherweight championship. He had suffered back-to-back knockout losses. People questioned whether he was finished. People questioned his age. People questioned whether he could ever become champion again. And then he walked into UFC 314 against Diego Lopes. A younger, dangerous opponent. A fighter with momentum. A fighter who had absolutely no interest in allowing Volkanovski to have a Hollywood ending. And Volkanovski won. He became UFC featherweight champion again. And afterward, instead of pretending the road had been easy… he embraced the road. He embraced the struggle. He embraced the doubt. He embraced the moments that could have broken him. And that’s what makes this quote so powerful. Because “adversity is a privilege” isn’t really about fighting. It’s about how you interpret suffering. It’s about what you do when life doesn’t cooperate with your plans. It’s about what happens when the person you thought you were… gets challenged. Today we’re going to talk about Alexander Volkanovski. But really… we’re talking about you. Because every person listening to this has something they’re fighting. Maybe it’s a career. Maybe it’s a relationship. Maybe it’s your health. Maybe it’s your confidence. Maybe you’re trying to rebuild yourself after a failure. Maybe you’re in a season where nobody sees what you’re going through. And maybe… just maybe… your adversity isn’t proof that you’re losing. Maybe it’s an opportunity. Hope you guys enjoy this episode and if this episode impacted you at all or if you think it’ll impact anybody feel free to share it

    Ep 83. Rebellion or Weakness?

    What’s popping my peeps and welcome back or welcome to today’s episode of the pod today we are talking about two big topics the difference between rebellion and weakness, but we also decided to talk about these two things and three different points of view Here is what we’re talking about today. The difference between rebellion and weakness. And we look at this through three different points of view: The spiritual. The physical. And the emotional. Because I believe one of the biggest mistakes we can make in life is treating every failure as rebellion—or treating every act of rebellion as weakness. Those aren’t the same thing. Weakness and rebellion can produce similar behavior, but they come from very different places. Please enjoy today’s episode and feel free to share it with a friend if this impacted you at all

    Ep 80. Discipline vs Motivation - The Real Driver of Success

    What’s up my Peeps. Today’s episode tackles a topic that almost everyone struggles with at some point: the difference between discipline and motivation. You’ve probably heard people say things like, “Just stay motivated,” or “I’m waiting until I feel motivated to start.” And if you’re honest, you’ve probably said that yourself. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: motivation is unreliable. Discipline is what actually gets results. So today, we’re going to break this down in a real, practical way—no fluff, no clichés. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand: * What motivation actually is (and why it fades) * What discipline really means (and why people misunderstand it) * Why relying on motivation is a losing strategy * And how to build discipline in a way that actually sticks

This episode is for anyone who is carrying grief—whether it’s fresh and raw, or something that’s been quietly living in your chest for years.

If you’re listening right now and hurting, I want you to know—you don’t have to “fix” anything during this episode. You don’t have to feel better by the end. Just being here is enough.
