Todd’s story is not just about business growth. It is about discipline. Grit. Health. Family. Leadership. Faith in the process. And what it really takes to build something that lasts. Todd founded Perimeter Roofing in 2017, growing it into a multi-state roofing company with hundreds of team members and tens of millions in annual revenue. Public profiles describe him as a serial entrepreneur, speaker, fitness enthusiast, philanthropist, and former CEO/founder of Perimeter Roofing, with Perimeter operating across the Southeast.

Todd’s own coaching site describes his journey as going from addiction to building and exiting a 9-figure company through frameworks, the right people, and relentless execution. Inside this episode, they discuss: Todd’s journey from the ground up to building and exiting a 9-figure companyThe mindset required to scale a high-growth businessWhy health is not separate from leadership — it is part of the foundationHow fitness, bodybuilding, and martial arts shaped Todd’s discipline and resilienceThe connection between physical standards and business standardsWhat it means to build as a true Business AthleteHow to lead your team, your spouse, and your children from exampleThe sacrifices and pressure that come with entrepreneurshipWhy family connection matters when you are building at a high levelThe importance of mentorship, teaching, and helping others build something meaningfulWhat founders need to understand about systems, standards, execution, and long-term legacyTodd has also been featured in other business and home-service industry conversations around roofing growth, entrepreneurship, and scaling, including discussions about Perimeter Roofing’s growth and partnerships in the roofing industry.

Because building a great business is one thing. Becoming the kind of man who can carry success, lead his family, take care of his body, and leave a legacy — that is the real work.

    Episode 50 - Men’s Mental Health Part 2: Finding Your Why Again (Part 2 of 2)

    🎧 From Survival Mode to Self-LeadershipMen’s mental health is not just about tactics. It is not just about bloodwork, supplements, sleep, training, nutrition, or morning routines. Those things matter. But sometimes a man does not need another protocol. He needs a reason to fight for himself again. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser returns for Part 2 of Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month with a deeper conversation around purpose, identity, self-leadership, emotional honesty, fatherhood, marriage, legacy, and finding your why again. This episode goes beyond the physical side of men’s mental health and into the inner battle many men are quietly fighting. The feeling of being lost. The pressure to provide. The habit of saying “I’m fine.” The slow disconnection from yourself. The exhaustion of being useful to everyone while feeling empty inside. The weight of carrying pain without knowing where to put it. Fraser explores why many men do not collapse all at once — they disappear from themselves slowly. They stop dreaming. They stop telling the truth. They stop taking care of themselves. They become reactive instead of intentional. They survive instead of lead. In this episode, Fraser breaks down how men can begin rebuilding from within by reconnecting to their why, rewriting the story they tell themselves, developing self-respect through small promises kept, and becoming the kind of man their family, future, and calling can count on. Inside this episode, you’ll hear about: Why men’s mental health requires more than tactics and surface-level adviceHow to find your why again when you feel lost, numb, or disconnectedThe difference between existing, providing, and truly livingWhy identity is often the missing piece in mental health and personal transformationHow men can shift from victim to leader, broken to rebuilding, reactive to regulatedWhy the story you tell yourself can either become a prison or a pathwayThe difference between emotional suppression and emotional regulationHow self-respect is rebuilt through small daily winsWhy responsibility is not shame, and ownership is not self-hatredHow fatherhood, marriage, values, faith, and legacy can become anchors for healingHow to use the future-self exercise to create urgency, clarity, and directionWhy the smallest brave step is often the beginning of the entire rebuildThis episode is a message for the man who looks fine from the outside but feels lost on the inside. For the man who is tired of pretending. For the man who has been surviving instead of leading. For the man who wants to become steady again. For the husband, father, entrepreneur, provider, and high performer who knows there is another version of himself still available. You are not done yet. The next version of you is still possible. But he will require honesty, ownership, and a reason bigger than your pain. This is Men’s Mental Health, Part 2: the deeper work of meaning, mindset, purpose, and becoming the lighthouse.

    Episode 49 - Why So Many Men Are Struggling: Mental Health, Loneliness & Overcoming (Part 1 of 2)

    🎧 From Anxiety, ADHD & Bipolar Depression to Becoming the LighthouseMen’s mental health is one of the most important conversations we are not having honestly enough. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser opens up about his personal story with bipolar depression, severe anxiety, ADHD, medication, identity struggles, and the long road back to becoming the man, husband, father, coach, and leader he is today. This is not a surface-level “mental health awareness” episode. This is a deep dive into what many men are silently carrying — depression, anxiety, loneliness, burnout, emotional shutdown, anger, disconnection, low energy, lack of purpose, and the pressure to keep performing while quietly falling apart. Fraser breaks down why men’s mental health is not just a mindset issue. It is also biological. Physiological. Emotional. Relational. Environmental. Spiritual. Inside this episode, you’ll learn why so many men are struggling and how to begin rebuilding the entire operating system — from bloodwork and brain chemistry to movement, sunlight, diet, supplementation, nervous system regulation, community, purpose, and connection. Fraser covers: His personal journey through anxiety, ADHD, bipolar depression, and heavy medicationWhy men often hide depression through anger, overworking, isolation, addiction, or emotional shutdownWhy mental health is physical — and how sleep, inflammation, hormones, gut health, blood sugar, nutrition, and testosterone can impact mood and motivationThe importance of comprehensive bloodwork for men struggling with fatigue, anxiety, depression, brain fog, low libido, or burnoutHow tools like the Braverman Test can help men better understand dopamine, serotonin, GABA, acetylcholine, and their own brain chemistryWhy diet, protein, minerals, micronutrients, hydration, and supplementation matter for mental performance and emotional stabilityThe role of movement, sunlight, and connection as a daily “priming the pump” trifecta for better mood, energy, nervous system regulation, and creativityWhy tribe, brotherhood, family, calling, and community are essential for men’s long-term mental healthWhat the Blue Zones can teach us about purpose, belonging, connection, and longevityHow AI may shape the future of productivity, isolation, mental health, and human connectionWhy technology can support your life, but it cannot replace real brotherhood, touch, eye contact, honesty, and being knownHow fathers, husbands, entrepreneurs, and high performers can stop pretending they’re fine and start rebuilding from the inside outThis episode is a reminder that you are not weak. You are not broken. But you may be under-supported, undernourished, disconnected, overstimulated, underslept, chemically depleted, and carrying too much alone. The goal is not just to survive as a man. The goal is to rebuild your mind, body, relationships, and purpose so you can become the lighthouse your family, your community, and your future self can count on. If you’re a man struggling with mental health, depression, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, loneliness, or emotional numbness — or you love a man who is — this episode is for you.

    Episode 48 - The Business Athlete Daily Routine: Health, Workflows & High Performance

    🎧 How I Use Habit Stacking to Optimize My Entire DayMost people don’t need more motivation. They need a better operating system. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser breaks down his real daily workflow — the habits, routines, tools, movement, AI systems, training, nutrition, family rhythms, and energy management strategies that help him stay fit, focused, productive, and present. This is not a “perfect morning routine” fantasy. This is a real-world look at how to structure a day that supports health, business, coaching, content creation, family, and performance without constantly feeling like you’re behind. Inside this episode, Fraser walks through: Why your morning routine actually starts the night beforeHow evening prep sets up better energy, focus, nutrition, and execution the next dayThe morning habits that create the right chemical state before work beginsHow to use “priming the pump” habits throughout the day to maintain momentumWhy walking is one of the most underrated productivity and nervous system toolsHow Fraser uses outdoor walks, voice messages, talk-to-text, and AI to create content, coach clients, and organize ideasHow workouts can become an energetic slingshot instead of something that drains youThe role of e-bikes, walking pads, outdoor walks, and movement tools in building NEAT into the dayHow simple nutrition systems remove decision fatigueWhy habit stacking is the key to staying consistent without making life more complicatedHow to integrate family, coaching, health, and business into one aligned operating systemThe big idea is simple: High performance is not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about designing your day so the right behaviors become easier. When your routines are built properly, your health improves, your energy stays higher, your client delivery gets sharper, your content becomes easier, and your family gets a better version of you. Because the goal of optimization isn’t to escape your life. It’s to show up better inside it. If you’re a business owner, coach, parent, entrepreneur, or high performer trying to manage your health, energy, productivity, and family without burning out, this episode will give you a practical blueprint.

    Episode 47 - The Business Athlete Blueprint: 8 Principles for Energy, Fat Loss & Longevity

    🎧 The 8 Health Rules Every High Performer Should FollowAfter 20 years of trial, error, research, coaching, and personal experimentation, there are certain health principles that keep showing up again and again. Not because they’re flashy. Because they work. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser breaks down 8 foundational health principles that can dramatically improve your energy, fat loss, digestion, recovery, sleep, nervous system, and long-term performance. This is not another complicated biohacking episode. This is the stuff most people skip while chasing advanced protocols, supplements, peptides, and hacks. Inside this episode, Fraser walks through the core principles he believes every high performer should master, including: Why comprehensive bloodwork is essential if you want to stop guessing and start optimizingHow walking and step count improve fat loss, digestion, blood glucose, energy, brain oxygenation, and productivityWhy a 10-minute workout can be better than doing nothing, and how movement becomes a daily pressure release valveThe importance of nutrient diversity, eating the rainbow, fermented foods, mushrooms, and living foods like broccoli sproutsWhy everything starts in the gut, and how digestion, stomach acid, enzymes, and gut lining support affect your resultsHow combining outdoor light, movement, and resistance training can improve mitochondrial health, sleep, metabolism, and body compositionWhy mastering your nervous system is critical if you struggle with stress, poor recovery, gut issues, skin problems, low libido, or sleep disruptionHow simple breathing practices can shift your body out of fight-or-flight and improve digestion, stress regulation, and recoveryThis episode also goes deeper than tactics. Because health is not just about looking better. It’s about how you show up. For your family. For your business. For your relationships. For your purpose. If you want to become healthier, stronger, leaner, more resilient, and more energized, this episode gives you the principles that matter most. Simple does not mean easy. But if you master these basics and give them time, you will achieve results that most people never will. Set the standard. Be the example. Be the lighthouse.

    Episode 46 - The Hidden Cost of Being Successful

    🎧 How to Build a Body That Can Handle Your AmbitionSuccess looks good from the outside. The business is growing. The money is coming in. People respect you. You’ve built something real. But behind the scenes, a lot of high performers are quietly paying a price. Poor sleep. Low energy. Belly fat. Brain fog. Low testosterone. Irritability. Anxiety. Burnout. Marriage tension. Disconnection from family. A body that no longer matches the level of success they’ve created. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser breaks down the hidden cost of being successful — and why the same habits that helped you survive the climb may eventually start destroying you at the top. Because success amplifies whatever foundation you built it on. If you build success on stress, caffeine, poor sleep, skipped meals, emotional suppression, and constant availability… Eventually, the bill comes due. Inside this episode, Fraser explores: Why success often rewards unhealthy behavior early onHow chronic stress keeps high performers stuck in fight-or-flightThe nervous system cost of always being “on”The hormonal cost of ambition, including low testosterone, cortisol dysregulation, and poor recoveryWhy body composition becomes part of your personal brandHow health debt compounds like financial debtWhy many successful people become physically present but emotionally absentThe identity trap of tying your self-worth to output, achievement, and controlThe “I’ll fix it later” lie that keeps people stuckHow to build a body, nervous system, and life system that can actually carry your ambitionThis episode is not about becoming less driven. It’s about becoming better built. Because the goal was never to win in business while losing your health, your family, your peace, or yourself. If your business is scaling but your biology is crashing… If the scoreboard says you’re winning but your nervous system says you’re losing… This episode will hit hard. Success without health is just a more expensive form of survival. And your body keeps the receipts. If you want cutting edge health consulting, I have various programs and options.

    Episode 45 - Your Body Runs on Light: The Missing Key to Sleep, Skin, Hormones & Health

    🎧 The Sunlight Protocol: How to Use Light for Energy, Sleep, Skin & Longevity Most people think health runs on food, supplements, and exercise. But there is one “nutrient” almost everyone overlooks: Light. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser sits down to break down why sunlight, circadian rhythm, blue light, red light, melatonin, vitamin D, and nighttime darkness may be some of the most powerful levers for human performance. This conversation challenges the modern fear-based narrative around the sun and reframes light as a biological signal that influences almost every system in the body. Your mood. Your sleep. Your cravings. Your energy. Your skin. Your hormones. Your metabolism. Your focus. Your ability to recover and perform. Light is not just something you see. It is something your body uses. Inside this episode, Fraser discusses how to use morning sunlight, midday sun exposure, sunset, red light, blue light management, and nighttime darkness to better align your body with the natural rhythms it was designed to follow. You’ll learn why sitting behind a window is not the same as getting outside, why artificial light at night can disrupt recovery, and how simple light habits can radically improve the way you feel and perform. For the Business Athlete, your light environment matters. Because if your circadian rhythm is broken, your recovery system is broken. This episode is a powerful reminder that the next level of health may not come from another supplement, another hack, or another complicated protocol. It may start with the oldest signal your body was built to follow: light during the day, darkness at night. If you want cutting edge health consulting, I have various programs and options.

    Episode 44 - 10+ Years Vegan: How to Build Muscle, Stay Lean & Perform on Plants

    🎧 How to Thrive on a Plant-Based Diet as a Business AthleteCan you really build muscle, stay lean, and perform at a high level on a vegan or plant-based diet? After 13 years of being plant-based, Fraser breaks down the truth — not from theory, but from lived experience. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser walks through how to master a plant-based diet the right way, without falling into the common traps that leave people tired, under-muscled, bloated, nutrient-deficient, or struggling with performance. This episode is not about dogma. It’s about building a complete nutrition system that supports your body, brain, hormones, digestion, and long-term health. Inside this episode, Fraser covers: How to get enough protein on a plant-based dietWhether you can build muscle and strength as a veganWhy amino acid quality and complete proteins matterThe biggest nutrient gaps on a vegan diet, including B12, iron, ferritin, zinc, iodine, selenium, omega-3s, vitamin D, calcium, choline, creatine, magnesium, vitamin A, and vitamin CThe best plant-based food sources to support those nutrientsHow to reduce bloating, improve digestion, and build fiber toleranceWhy vegan junk food is still junk foodWhy bloodwork is essential if you want to do plant-based nutrition properlyHow to structure plant-based meals for fat loss, energy, muscle, and performanceThe foundational supplement stack for plant-based athletesWhy the label “vegan” does not automatically mean healthy or optimizedThis episode also breaks down the key mindset shift most people miss: Plant-based eating is not just about removing animal products. It’s about intentionally replacing them with the right nutrients, the right foods, and the right structure. If you’re plant-based, thinking about going plant-based, or just curious whether you can get strong, lean, and healthy without animal products, this episode will give you the blueprint. Because the truth is simple: A plant-based diet can absolutely work. But only if you build the system properly. If you want cutting edge health consulting, I have various programs and options.
