    023 | From Wildcard to Weapon - Gratitude, Growth, and God w/ Cade Packer

    Today I sat down with Cade Packer, a guy who went from being a total wildcard to becoming one of the most grounded, disciplined men I know. We get into how the Marine Corps shaped him, the power of routine and gratitude, and why doing hard things is the fast track to growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re grinding but not growing or if you're stuck trying to balance control and surrender, this one’s going to hit. We talk about building resilience through adversity, stacking wins through structure, and how to stay intentional even when life punches you in the mouth. You’ll walk away from this episode fired up, clear-headed, and ready to double down on discipline, gratitude, and doing the work God has set forth for you.

I’ll walk you through how I prepare for challenges, why I seek out discomfort, and how shifting my focus helps me grow. My goal is to challenge you to do the hard things because that’s where real satisfaction and personal growth live.

    021 | The Real Fitness Struggles Men Face (And How to Overcome Them) | #Lethal30 Q&A

    Last week, I asked the guys in the #Lethal30 Challenge one simple question:  “What’s the #1 skill or trait you’re missing that’s holding you back?” Their answers were raw — and real: lack of prioritization, consistency, distractions, even just getting their steps in. In this episode, I break down these common obstacles and share how I approach them personally and as a coach. If you’re tired of falling off track, this one’s packed with real talk, practical tactics, and tools to help you level up your discipline and finally gain momentum.

    020 | The Reality Of Getting Shredded w/ Diego Gonzalez

    In this episode, I sit down with competitive bodybuilder Diego Gonzalez, who placed 6th overall in his last show at the Amateur Olympia in pursuit of his pro card. What started as something he thought he’d never do — stepping on stage and posing — became a path to deeper discipline, structure, and personal growth. Diego opens up about the mental and physical grind of prepping for a show, what truly goes into getting shredded, and why cutting for competition is often easier than trying to stay lean in everyday life. This episode is a raw look at what it takes to chase a pro card and the lessons anyone can take from the bodybuilding lifestyle, whether you want to compete or just get serious about your fitness.

    019 | Pain, Accountability & Progress: The Real Journey to Sustainable Fitness Ft. Ryan Tripp

    In this episode, I sat down with Ryan Tripp to talk about something way bigger than just training plans or macros — we dug into the real stuff that holds most guys back. Ryan’s story started with a health scare that forced him to take control of his life. Now he’s a coach helping others do the same. We talked about the mental side of change, why accountability matters way more than motivation, and how social pressure and self-doubt can quietly derail progress. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of false starts, struggling to stay consistent, or just trying to figure out what actually works long-term — this one’s going to hit home.

    018 | Testing The Limits - Arizona Monster 300 Mile Ultra Marathon Ft. Jaden Bienvenue Part 2

    In this episode, I sat down with Jaden Bienvenue — a guy who went offensive lineman and 280lbs to three years later running 300 miles across the state of Arizona. No coaches, no special treatment… just grit and relentless self-belief. This is part 2 of the interview with Jaden where he specifically dives into his experience in the Arizona Monster 300 as one of the first ever athletes to complete the race.  Jaden is in the pursuit of finding what his true physical limits and while for most people their mind stops them from ever running a marathon, he is still in pursuit of what his limits are.  If you’ve ever wondered how far your body and mind can go… this is one of those episodes that’ll stick with you.

    In this episode, I sit down with Peter Szekely — a former competitive swimmer and  medical student abroad in Hungary. We talk about the connection between sports and medicine, and how the discipline, mental fortitude, and persistence built in the pool have carried over into the intense world of medical education. Peter shares what it's like to study medicine internationally, how cultural differences shape healthcare systems, and why personalized patient care is the future. We also dive into common health myths, the importance of prevention, and why education is key — for both patients and providers.
