    Robert Hunt - Own It Or Stay Stuck: The Quiet Power Of Accountability

We'll respond to your message on the next Fan Mail episode and give you the biggest shoutout. Every message you send to me matters. WANT A SHOUT-OUT ON THE PODCAST? What if accountability felt like freedom instead of pressure? That’s the heartbeat of our conversation with accountability coach and author Robert J. Hunt, whose blunt mantra—“Nobody cares until you do”—turns excuses into action. Robert shares how a hard reset in 2019—selling his home to eliminate $90,000 of debt—unlocked lasting peace and a practical system for building the life he and his wife actually wanted. From there, we dig into how leaders can design peer environments that make follow-through natural, not forced. We explore the five traits Robert sees in effective CEOs—continuous learning, decisive action, owning outcomes, pouring into people, and driving results—and why those habits matter for anyone who wants to lead themselves well. Robert explains the difference between being responsible (reactive) and being accountable (proactive), showing how smart leaders retain top talent by creating growth, voice, and value long before a competitor calls. Expect clear, usable ideas: set simple KPIs for your life, invite a small circle to ask you real questions, and build weekly check-ins that turn intention into momentum. Faith runs through this conversation as a grounding force, not a performance. Robert talks about living as one person everywhere—at work, at home, and in the quiet moments—bringing the humility, courage, and care that make leadership human. No sermonizing, just practical ways to love people, listen well, and make time for what matters. Along the way, you’ll hear candid stories about coaching CEOs, navigating burnout, and finding purpose on the far side of tough choices. If you’re ready to stop drifting and start owning your next step, this one is for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review with the one shift you’ll make this week.

    Oscar Peña: Growing Up Girl Dad - From Breadwinner To Present Father

We'll respond to your message on the next Fan Mail episode and give you the biggest shoutout. Every message you send to me matters. WANT A SHOUT-OUT ON THE PODCAST? What if the toughest thing about being a dad isn’t discipline or providing, but slowing down long enough to be truly present? That question sits at the heart of our conversation with Oscar Peña, host of The Daughtered Podcast, a “girl dad” whose military career, COVID lockdowns, and three daughters pushed him to rethink masculinity, leadership at home, and the real meaning of strength. We talk about the quiet force that kept him distant for years: fear. Fear of doing it wrong. Fear of big emotions. Fear disguised as productivity and the breadwinner role. Oscar shares how journaling during lockdown uncovered the weight of missed moments with his older girls, and how simple rituals—phones down, eyes up, listening without fixing—helped him repair trust and rebuild connection. He gets practical on shutting down the classic “ask Dad after Mom says no” pattern with nightly alignment, and how a united front preserves safety without power games. This isn’t theory. It’s dinner, diapers, and deep listening. Oscar describes healthy masculinity as the capacity to carry your emotions and hold space for others, to protect while empowering independence, to cook the meal and set boundaries in the same breath. We explore how daughters challenge and stretch fathers in every direction—emotionally, mentally, physically—and why that stretch can make men better humans. We also go behind the scenes of starting The Daughtered Podcast: the stumbles, the unexpected community of creators, and the aim to leave a living record of growth for his kids. You can find Oscar's amazing podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daughtered-podcast/id1740582127 If you’ve ever wondered how to be more present when life is loud, or how to repair bonds you regret missing, this conversation offers clear steps and honest hope.

    Inside Modeling, Mentorship, And Marriage to a Bachelorette With Adam Woolard

We'll respond to your message on the next Fan Mail episode and give you the biggest shoutout. Every message you send to me matters. WANT A SHOUT-OUT ON THE PODCAST? What if the thread that ties your life together isn’t a job title, but a commitment to grow—on purpose, for others? That’s the question that guides our conversation with Adam Woolard, whose journey runs from small‑town sports and piano recitals to finance, national modeling campaigns, and a mission-driven role coaching men’s health. We start with the early pivots: a hip surgery that ended college soccer plans, a quick exit from pre‑med, and the draw of community banking where service mattered. When the bank culture shifted, Adam followed curiosity into acting classes and then into modeling, where he learned how to navigate blunt rejection and keep identity anchored in something deeper than a shoot list. He opens the doors on the industry’s realities and shares how entering later—with more self-knowledge—made the difference between being defined by looks and using the platform to learn. The heartbeat of Adam’s story is service. A decade mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters and budget coaching with Habitat for Humanity reshaped how he thinks about leadership and impact. He and his wife, Hannah Brown from ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette", now lead a marriage group at church and build their relationship on principles from The Meaning of Marriage: covenant, friendship, and daily acts of service. Adam talks honestly about life alongside a very public partner, setting boundaries around social media, and why singular focus helped Hannah win high-pressure shows like Dancing With The Stars and Special Forces. We close by diving into Adam’s work with Joy & Blokes, a telehealth company that starts with comprehensive labs and builds personalized plans around hormones, peptides, and targeted supplements. His coaching lens is refreshingly practical: structure and discipline over hacks, sleep and nutrition before shortcuts, and progress tracked on a calendar, not a feed. If you’re torn between the “safe” road and the authentic one, Adam offers a better path—align your work with your values and responsibilities, iterate until it fits, and choose excellence by showing up fully.

    The Life Changing Decision To Break Up With Food - Stanley Bronstein

    SEND US A TEXT. Drop Mista Yu a text at: (904) 867-4466 or (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2378778/open_sms). Leave your first name and the city you're reaching out to us from. We'll respond to your message on the next Fan Mail episode and give you the biggest shoutout. Every message you send to me matters. WANT A SHOUT-OUT ON THE PODCAST? A single, honest question changed everything: where will I be in five years if I keep going? Stanley Bronstein faced the answer—dead—and chose a different path. What followed wasn’t a miracle diet or a surgery. It was standards: cut alcohol, drop the soda, eat real food, and walk every day. He turned a lifetime of grief‑driven eating into a 220‑pound loss and built a system that stuck for 17 years. We dig into how childhood loss fed self‑soothing and denial, and how a moment of healthy selfishness set clear boundaries at home and at the table. Stanley breaks down his phased approach to food—from removing red meat to going fully plant‑based to ditch dairy and ultraprocessed treats—and why identity beats willpower. When you become the person who only eats healthy food, decisions vanish and progress compounds. He also explains why excellence outperforms perfection: a missed day becomes feedback, not failure. Walking is Stanley’s proof of possibility. From struggling through two blocks to logging 72,000 miles, he shows how movement restores mood, confidence, and agency. We call out the myths that promise shortcuts, question surgery‑ and drug‑first solutions, and return to the basics that work anywhere—even on a European trip where market food replaced restaurant indulgence.  Stanley shares free resources at thewayofexcellence.com and invites you to join the Million Pound Weight Loss Challenge, a safe, global community targeting 50,000 people losing twenty pounds each.

    Why Good Men Are Hard To Find (How To Be That Guy) - D.J. Logory

We'll respond to your message on the next Fan Mail episode and give you the biggest shoutout. Every message you send to me matters. WANT A SHOUT-OUT ON THE PODCAST? What if comfort is the quiet force pulling young men off course? We sit down with coach and podcaster DJ Logory to unpack how convenience culture, low-friction choices, and screen-first social lives collide with the real demands of work, school, and relationships. DJ’s path—from a graphic injury to fitness, from a derailed internship to life-changing mentorship—shapes a practical system for turning drift into direction. Across the conversation, DJ outlines his 13-week, habit-based program designed for late teens and early twenties: a personalized growth habit for career movement, plus three core habits—sleep, exercise, and reading—that rebuild discipline and attention. The details matter: short reading sessions that culminate in finishing The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy, weekly check-ins that keep momentum alive, and real-world intros that push curiosity into action. We also talk with care about parents—often moms—who provide so much comfort that forward motion stalls, and we explore how to reset environments so good choices come easier than bad ones. The episode moves beyond tactics into identity and leadership. DJ shares the “weed pulling” method for naming friction without blame, the hard truth about likership versus leadership, and how vulnerability as a team captain unlocked deeper respect, not less. On his podcast, he hosts men who admit what they normally hide and women who clarify what guys often miss—emotional availability, real confidence, and the balance of hard and soft skills. That balance is DJ’s definition of a good man: decisive and disciplined when the moment demands, gentle and present when someone needs care. If you’re a young man searching for traction, a parent hoping to help without smothering, or a leader ready to trade posture for progress, this one offers a clear path forward.

Our team thought it was a great idea to start rewinding previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone. All of these beautiful Blasts from the Past were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy the review! ************************ SEND US A TEXT. Drop Mista Yu a text at: (904) 867-4466 or (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2378778/open_sms).  ************************* What if your body has been whispering the answers all along? We sit down with nutritionist Alana Boneman to rethink health after 30, from the food on your plate to the stress you carry into sleep. Alana shares a grounded, no-restriction approach that replaces diet fads with durable habits: a simple plate framework, seasonal eating, and the courage to listen when your body signals something’s off. We dig into why weight is often a symptom—not the root cause—and how to shift your “set point” with small, consistent changes. Alana explains how ultra-palatable foods and savvy marketing hijack appetites, making vegetables and fiber-rich whole foods non-negotiable for gut health, hormones, and steady mood. For women, she unpacks the monthly and midlife transitions that magnify stress and sleep debt, and she offers realistic tools to feel well across cycles, fertility, perimenopause, and menopause. This conversation gets personal too: panic attacks, morning light, mindset work, and the discipline to build routines that actually fit real life. We trade notes on podcasting’s emotional toll, creative energy, and staying purpose-driven when progress dips. You’ll hear cultural texture—from Germany’s organized cadence and sauerkraut staples to Australia’s rich food mix and legendary coffee—that shows how environment shapes health choices. Expect practical takeaways you can use today: how to structure a satiating plate, why moderation beats restriction for adults and kids, and how sleep, movement, and stress tools form the backbone of sustainable change. If you’ve bounced between quick fixes and burnout, this is your reset. Listen, subscribe, and share with someone who’s ready to build health that lasts. Got a habit you’re starting this week?

    From Combat To Commerce: The J.R. Spear Story

We'll respond to your message on the next Fan Mail episode and give you the biggest shoutout. Every message you send to me matters. WANT A SHOUT-OUT ON THE PODCAST? A childhood spent sweeping mats and teaching adults at age ten forged a voice that wouldn’t wait its turn. Then came the hard lefts: a high school spiral, a grandmother who parked at a recruiter’s office and wouldn’t budge, a Navy path that led to serving chaplains with the Marines, and a blast in Iraq that changed everything. JR Spear came home with scars, a renewed faith, and a determination to build a life that served his family and his calling. We dig into how he rebuilt from zero as a first-time business owner, failing fast until a mentor handed him a simple blueprint: run micro one-day events, deliver real value, and make clear tiered offers. One workshop closed over $270,000 in contracts and flipped his beliefs about sales and structure. From there he scaled boot camps across multiple states without paid ads, relying on consistent events and a follow-up system that prioritized people over pressure. JR breaks down the inputs that matter—offer design, event flow, retention vs acquisition cadence—and how to keep momentum when you don’t have a big audience. Equally powerful is his approach to relationships. Networking, he says, isn’t a hunt, it’s hospitality. Bring three gifts to every conversation: a referral, a resource, or an invite. That simple practice turns strangers into friends and friends into partners. Threaded through it all is his creed—commitment, resilience, excellence, execution, discipline—and a faith that reshaped his marriage, leadership, and sense of peace. If you’re ready to grow with integrity, this story gives you a playbook for micro events, service-first networking, and staying grounded when success arrives. If this conversation sparked an idea, follow and share the show with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it.
