    Preston Wilmore doesn’t hold anything back in this episode. From childhood trauma and substance abuse to finding structure, discipline, and purpose through fitness — this conversation is about what it really looks like to rebuild your life. Not perfect.

    EP 58: Hunter Nelson on Disability, Trauma, Fitness, and Business

    In this episode of The G3X Podcast, I sat down with Hunter Nelson for a real conversation about what it looks like to keep going when life hands you pain, limitation, and setbacks before you ever feel ready. Hunter opened up about growing up with a paralyzed arm, wrestling with identity, and carrying the weight of personal trauma while trying to feel like everyone else. We talked about the inner battles people don’t always see, how mental health and self-acceptance shape everything, and why healing starts when you stop hiding what hurt you. We also got into how fitness became more than a workout for Hunter. It became a place to rebuild confidence, process pain, and prove to himself that he could become stronger from the inside out. That same mindset helped him move into entrepreneurship and build something of his own with resilience, authenticity, and a relentless grind. What stood out most was Hunter’s honesty. He shared how inner work, hard conversations, and learning to fail in front of people helped him grow into who he is today. If you’ve been carrying trauma, self-doubt, or the pressure to have it all figured out, this conversation is a reminder that growth is messy and worth it. For the ones still becoming, this episode is about staying rooted in who you are, rebuilt through discipline, and relentless about becoming who you were meant to be. Sometimes the breakthrough starts when you stop running from the pain and let God shape your direction through it. Faith doesn’t always remove the struggle, but it can steady your steps while you keep moving.

    Building Muscle on a Vegan Diet with Rosie Flores: EP 57 The G3X Podcast

    I sat down with Rosie Flores to talk about what it really takes to gain muscle on a plant-based diet, without the hype, the excuses, or the internet myths. Rosie shared how her cultural roots shaped her work ethic, how she navigated an on-and-off fitness journey, and what finally helped her lock in. We got real about the difference between motivation and discipline, why planning wins when feelings fade, and how being intentional with your food and training changes everything. If you’ve ever wondered whether vegan bodybuilding is legit, Rosie breaks down the protein conversation, the daily challenges of staying consistent, and simple nutrition tips you can actually apply this week, especially if you’re trying to build muscle while still enjoying the food you grew up with. This episode is for the ones still becoming: rooted in identity, rebuilt through discipline, relentless about the goal.

    The G3X Podcast EP 56: From Miami Nights to Fitness Purpose (with Lindsay Kaplan)

    I sat down with Lindsay Kaplan, Head of Talent at Echelon, for a real conversation about what it looks like to outgrow a party season and rebuild your life with discipline. We talked about her early days in Miami, leaving a high-paying hospitality career, and the turning point that led her to stop drinking completely and commit to a healthier lifestyle. Lindsay breaks down how personal training played a huge role in her weight loss journey, why indoor cycling gets misunderstood, and what it took to learn virtual fitness when everything went online. We also got into the behind-the-scenes side of the fitness industry: building a real resume, managing big personalities, evolving your coaching style, and creating community with members; whether it’s in a room full of people or on the other side of a screen. And then we went deeper into the parts of her life that keep her grounded: creative passions like photography and DJing, and her calling toward animal rescue. Lindsay shares what’s happening in overcrowded shelters right now, what to consider before adopting, and how giving back can reshape your purpose. Faith-wise, I loved how her story points back to one simple truth: direction changes when your decisions change. Sometimes God doesn’t “drop” a new life on you, you choose it, one disciplined day at a time. This one is for anyone still becoming: rooted in what matters, rebuilt through consistency, and relentless about living with intention.

    The G3X Podcast EP 55: Regina on Content Creation, Consistency & Finding Your Niche

    In today’s episode, I sat down with Regina, a Miami content creator who made the jump from real estate in San Diego to building content full-time. We got real about burnout, starting over in a new city, and how long it can take to find your niche. Regina breaks down what finally helped her move past the fear of posting, why consistency beats perfection, and how you can start creating with what you already have (yes, even just your phone). We also talk through the part people don’t always see: criticism, confidence, and the relationship dynamics that come with always filming, editing, and posting. If you’re trying to build a personal brand, grow engagement, and actually understand what your analytics are telling you, this episode will give you practical steps you can apply today. At G3X we’re still becoming — rooted, rebuilt, relentless. This conversation is a reminder that the call is on your life, but the craft is built through discipline.
