    B.U.I.L.T. D1FF3R3NT - Episode #1 - Coach Randy

    Episode 1: BUILT D1FF3R3NT — A Message Every Son (and Every Champion) Needs to Hear Before this podcast was for the world… it was for two young men. In this powerful opening episode of the BUILT D1FF3R3NT Studio Podcast, host Coach Randy Narciso delivers a deeply personal message to his sons, Reid and Logan—a message about identity, discipline, commitment, and who you’re becoming when no one is watching. This is not a motivational speech. This is a father’s standard. Coach Randy speaks not as a coach or mentor—but as a dad who has watched the late nights, the quiet sacrifices, the invisible wins, and the moments of doubt that shape real champions. Through real-life examples from his sons’ journeys—one on the demanding pre-med path, the other rising academically and athletically in high school—he breaks down what it truly means to be BUILT D1FF3R3NT. You’ll hear the mindset shift that changes everything: Motivation is a feeling. Commitment is an identity. Identity is BUILT. This episode is for: • Student-athletes navigating pressure and expectations • Parents raising disciplined, resilient young leaders • Anyone fighting through tired days, hard days, and unseen battles • Anyone chasing their next level in school, sport, or life Coach Randy challenges listeners with a simple but powerful question: “Who are you becoming on the days no one is watching?” Because greatness isn’t built in the spotlight. It’s built in the ordinary moments— the days you don’t feel like it… the days that test your resolve… the five extra minutes that shape a lifetime. This episode sets the foundation for everything this podcast stands for: discipline, identity, grit, mindset, leadership—and legacy. If you’ve ever needed a reminder of why the work matters… this is it. Welcome to BUILT D1FF3R3NT. Fight ON.
