    This Is Not About Sex, It Is About Power

    Episode 66 In 1937 Napoleon Hill spent 25 years studying the most successful men alive and wrote an entire chapter about this. He called it transmuting sexual energy. His conclusion was simple. The men who built the most, created the most, and led the most were the ones who knew how to channel this energy rather than leak it. Most men are leaking it everywhere. And they do not even know where it is going. In this episode Adam gets into what leaky sexual energy actually is. Not just the obvious stuff. Not just pornography and affairs. The woman at work who lights him up. The DM. The social media scroll loading up with OnlyFans models. The fantasy he feeds instead of his marriage. The business collaboration that both people know is something else. Every one of those is a leak. And every leak is a symptom of a void that is not being addressed. Adam also gets personal in a way most men will not. He has participated in almost all of this himself. The leaks. The hiding. The shame cycle. The seasons of being completely out of alignment. He speaks from the inside of this, not from the outside looking in. And he talks about what it actually took to get to the other side of it and what changed when he did. The stats are not comfortable. 78% of men consume pornography. 84% say nobody is helping them. 50% say nobody even knows. 75% of Christian men. 67% of pastors. These are not fringe numbers. That is the man sitting across from you at the conference table. But the real problem is never the behavior. It is the secret. The hiding. The shame cycle that keeps men stuck and silent and leaking. This episode ends with a challenge and a promise. The truth is going to hurt. It is worth it.   The Burn Up Podcast is built for men who have lived something real or are living it right now. Every conversation pulls back the curtain on what it actually costs to build something, lose it, and come back stronger. No highlight reel. No performance.

    Most Men Who Say "God Is First" Are Lying

    Episode 65 Something interesting is happening right now. Jesus is everywhere. More than ever. Social media feeds full of scriptures. Cross tattoos. Public declarations of faith. Men who built entire brands around hustle and performance have suddenly pivoted to God and Jesus as their new message. And yet the men closest to these same people will tell you a completely different story. That gap is what this episode is about. Most men are not lying on purpose when they say God is first. They genuinely believe it. They show up on Sunday. They check every box the institution asks them to check. But then they go home and disconnect from their wife. They hide things they will not say out loud. They perform one way for one group and show up completely differently everywhere else. That is not putting God first. That is putting the performance first. In this episode Adam gets into what it actually means to put God first. Not the Sunday version. The 3 am version. The version that shows up the same way at church, at the office, and when nobody is watching. He talks about why Jesus had no harsh words for sinners and reserved his sharpest language for the performers. Why integrity is not a religious concept but a personal one. And why the man who is hiding something small is more out of alignment than he realizes. The question is not whether you believe in God. The question is whether your life proves it.   The Burn Up Podcast is built for men who have lived something real or are living it right now.

    He Cheated Death 11 Times

    Episode 64 He has almost died 11 times. Not metaphorically. Eleven times something should have ended him. And he is still here, 68 years old, in the best shape of his life, building something that helps other people survive their own version of impossible.3 Adam first met Bob over 10 years ago. In this episode, Bob walks through two of his eleven close calls, including a head-on collision in Wind River Canyon where he was ejected from the car, flew horizontally through the air, and stood up on the road while a highway patrolman said he had never seen anything like it in 26 years. Bob now hosts, A Close Call with Death, a podcast where he interviews people who survived the unsurvivable. In this conversation, he shares what he has found runs through every single one of those people. No regrets. A gratitude for life that was not there before. And a deep desire to serve others that the experience created. Adam and Bob also go deep on what it takes to stay in the fight long enough for the miracle to arrive. Why surrender is sometimes the only move. How to stop living in resistance to what already happened. What earning a physical transformation actually takes. And why the people who have lost limbs consistently say they would not trade the experience for anything. Bob is 68, has logged 1,600 Orange Theory workouts, and wakes up every day grateful he is alive. That gratitude is not accidental. This episode is about how you build it, and what it costs. The best version of your life is waiting on the other side of what you are still avoiding.   Resources: Follow Adam Nugent on Instagram for more motivational content and insights Follow Bob Howard's Podcast, A Close Call with Death, here.

    What's The Story You're Telling Yourself?

    Episode 63 There is a story running in the background of everything you do. You did not write it. But you have been living it your entire life. Adam was in his late thirties before anyone ever asked him if he felt worthy of love. He had no answer. That silence is where this episode begins. In this episode, Adam goes alone into the one belief that sits underneath almost every ceiling a man hits, every marriage that goes cold, every addiction that takes hold. He talks about where the story of not enough comes from, how it gets passed down without anyone realizing it, and what it actually takes to rewrite it. He also talks about his 18-year-old son Kingston, who this week said out loud that he lacks self-worth and what that moment meant. The formula is simple. The work is not. But Adam has done it, and he has watched men do it at 18 and at 50, and he will tell you exactly what it costs and what it returns. The freedom you are searching for is in what you are avoiding. The Burn Up Podcast is built for men who have lived something real or are living it right now.

    Prison Set Him Free. Success Was the Real Sentence.

    Episode 62 Jared Deveraux had the house, the trucks, the company logos blazed across everything. On paper, he was building something. Inside, he was performing. And the performance was costing him more than he knew. Then the money ran out. The choices caught up. And a man who spent years tying his worth to what others could see went to prison for five years on a 20-year sentence. In this episode, Jared doesn't sanitize it. He talks about what actually drove the fraud — not greed, but people pleasing. The chameleon. The inability to say no. A lifetime of micro-decisions that add up to a moment you can't walk back from. He also talks about what came after. A private prison in Eagle Pass, Texas. A chain of coincidences so unlikely they can only be called something else. Walking out the gate with nothing — and two people standing there ready to give him a life back. His closing advice? Be Evel Knievel. The man didn't become a legend because he always landed. He became a legend because he always got back up. This conversation will find you exactly when you need it.

    (Ep. 61) The Reckoning Is Coming

    In this episode, host Adam Nugent delivers a wake-up call about the uncertainty, chaos, and "reckoning" he believes is unfolding globally—from war and economic instability to misinformation and rapid technological disruption. Rather than focusing on external fear, Adam brings the conversation inward, challenging men to examine their identity, integrity, and daily habits under pressure. He exposes how most people cope through numbing behaviors—food, porn, substances, distraction—and why those patterns will only intensify in uncertain times. He introduces a practical framework for breaking addictive cycles through awareness, non-judgment, and emotional regulation, while emphasizing radical honesty as the foundation for navigating chaos. This episode is a call to become disciplined, adaptable, and grounded—because in a world you can't control, who you are is everything.   Key Takeaways: You cannot control the world—only how you show up. Chaos creates opportunity for those who are prepared. Most people cope with stress through numbing behaviors. Addiction is often emotional avoidance in disguise. Awareness is the first step to breaking destructive patterns. You must recognize when you're using something to avoid feeling. Radical honesty is the foundation of personal freedom. The truth will always catch up—delay only increases pain. Your business problems often reflect internal misalignment. Discipline matters most during uncertain and stressful seasons. Physical health directly impacts emotional resilience. Identity tied to external systems creates instability. Adaptability is required in a rapidly changing world. AI and disruption will reward those willing to evolve. You must create new emotional baselines without dopamine crutches. Growth requires facing discomfort instead of escaping it.   Resources: Follow Adam Nugent on Instagram for more motivational content and insights  Learn about Adam Nugent's work at the Burn Up Website.

    (Ep. 60) The Long Game of Greatness

    In this episode of the Burn Up Podcast, host Adam Nugent welcomes Bryce Prescott, executive coach, podcast host, and founder of Media Automated and The LAB With Bryce Prescott, and they discuss the realities behind building meaningful work, creating powerful podcasts, and becoming the man you're meant to be. Bryce shares lessons from over a decade in podcasting, why most podcasts fail before ten episodes, and how persistence separates professionals from amateurs. The conversation also dives into personal growth, identity, relationships, and the internal work required to build purpose-driven success. This episode pulls back the curtain on resilience, self-awareness, and playing the long game in life and business.   Key Takeaways: Most people quit long before success becomes possible. Podcasting—and success in general—is a long game. The market isn't as saturated as people think; quality stands out. Experience trumps certifications in meaningful coaching work. Authentic conversations create deeper connection and impact. Meaning isn't discovered; it's created and tested through living. Personal growth often comes through relationship struggles and self-reflection. Empathy without boundaries becomes poison disguised as compassion and care. Identity and purpose evolve through experience, not overnight. Confidence is forged by repeatedly walking through your own hell. The best creators focus on improving their craft rather than chasing trends.

    (Ep. 59) Rebuilding After Burning It All Down

    In this episode of the Burn Up Podcast, host Adam Nugent welcomes Zac Ross and they discuss a life marked by extreme highs, devastating collapses, ego-driven success, addiction cycles, and spiritual awakening. From gang involvement and drug abuse to touring the world in music, building multimillion-dollar solar organizations, and losing everything, Zac shares the brutal truth behind repeated self-sabotage and the core wound of "not enough." The conversation explores worthiness, fatherhood, ego death, and what it really means to rebuild from the ground up. This episode isn't about overnight success — it's about transformation through humility, ownership, and choosing growth when comfort is no longer an option.   Key Takeaways: Success without self-worth eventually collapses. Ego can build empires — and destroy them. The "not enough" wound drives more behavior than most men realize. Addiction isn't always substances — it can be money, status, or applause. You can reinvent yourself — but you can't outrun yourself. Pride keeps you stuck; humility creates momentum. True transformation requires letting part of you die. Fatherhood can shift purpose more than any paycheck. Comfort zones quietly sabotage growth. Identity tied to achievement is fragile. Isolation amplifies shame and stagnation. Men often disappear when they're hurting. Divine intervention often looks like disruption. Serving others is the fastest path back to alignment. Hard seasons expose unfinished business. You cannot build sustainably on ego-driven motives.   Resources: Follow Adam Nugent on Instagram for more motivational content and insights Follow Zac Ross on Instagram  Learn about Adam Nugent's work and podcast at Burn Up Podcast.
