    The way I work in my 30s looks different because of what I did in my 20s.

    193: You Are Entitled to Nothing

    Nick Saban’s “Importance of Nothing” speech got me thinking about entitlement—what we believe we’re owed and how that mindset shapes the way we work, respond, and live. In this episode, I break down why hard work doesn’t guarantee success, why process matters more than outcomes, how to remove the habits and interferences holding you back, and a simple three-part entitlement detox: audit, shift, respond.

    191: How I Locked In and Got Leaner in 90 Days

    Over the last 90 days, I lost about 10 pounds and got leaner without crash dieting, starving myself, avoiding social situations, or sacrificing my training and recovery. I did it by locking in - not through extreme restriction, but by narrowing my focus, reducing unnecessary decisions, and giving the process enough time to work. In this episode, I explain what it really means to lock in, why some people may underperform to avoid raising the standard expected of them, and the difference between moving with urgency and living in a hurry. Then I break down the five changes I made.

    190: 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming A Dad

    In this episode, I share five things I wish I knew before becoming a dad. I talk about treating children as the cornerstone of an unfinished life, staying ambitious without letting work control the home, prioritizing what matters when balance feels impossible, becoming an intentional father, leading through the example I set, and building confidence through curiosity, courage, and competence. This is not a list of perfect answers. It is an honest look at what the last four years have taught me and what I am still working to become. Whether you are a father, preparing to be one, or thinking about the kind of family you want to lead, I hope this helps you examine your priorities, strengthen your values, and show up with greater intention.

    189: How I Eat and Train While Traveling

    In this episode, I break down the planning system I use before every trip and the practical decisions that help me stay consistent on the road. I cover how I scout restaurants, grocery stores, gyms, and running routes; what food, supplements, and hydration I pack; how I prioritize protein; and how I rearrange strength sessions, use vacations as deload weeks, and lean on running when time is limited. You do not need a perfect plan or a rigid schedule to keep making progress. Build enough structure to support your goals, stay flexible when the trip demands it, and make the time for your health without taking time away from the responsibilities that matter most.
