    EP9 | Why Cocky? Why Humble? Why Sean?

    For Episode 9 of Cocky & Humble, Sean Williams steps behind the mic alone for his most personal episode yet. Who is Sean, where did his confidence come from, and why did he start this podcast in the first place? Sean opens up about the experiences that shaped him, from growing up as an only child and navigating his parents’ divorce to chasing the dream of making an Olympic team, building a career in fitness, finding confidence in his identity, going to therapy, and experiencing the loss of his mom. He shares how athletics taught him discipline, how coaching showed him the impact he could have on others, and how some of the most difficult periods of his life ultimately strengthened his desire to help people believe in themselves. This episode is the story behind Cocky & Humble and the “why” behind Sean: creating a space for honest conversations, inspiring stories, confidence, laughter, growth, and the reminder that becoming comfortable with who you are takes work. Whether you relate to Sean’s story or simply need a reminder to keep going after the life you want, Episode 9 gets personal. Stay cocky. Stay humble. And most importantly, know your worth.

    EP.8 | Powered by Persistence

    In this episode of Cocky & Humble, Sean Williams sits down with Nashville country artist and songwriter Tyler Kohrs for a conversation about music, persistence, rejection, and what it really takes to keep chasing a dream. Tyler shares his journey from growing up in a small Illinois town to building a career in Nashville, along with his experiences auditioning for American Idol and The Voice. What audiences see on television is only a small part of the story. Behind those moments were years of auditions, rejection, waiting, learning, and continuing to show up. Sean and Tyler talk about finding confidence in what you do, staying connected to your purpose, and learning how to turn setbacks into motivation. They also dive into Tyler’s love for country music and storytelling, his growth as both an artist and songwriter, and what he’s continuing to work toward in the next chapter of his career. At its core, this episode is about persistence: believing in yourself enough to keep going, even when the path takes longer than expected. Tune in for an honest conversation about chasing the dream, trusting the process, and refusing to give up.

    EP7 | Men's Mental Health: Beyond the Barbell

    In Episode 7 of Cocky & Humble, Sean Williams sits down with Cam Seichter for an honest conversation about men’s mental health, fitness, friendship, vulnerability, and what it really means to show up for yourself and the people around you. Cam shares the story behind moveMENt, the men’s community he co-founded to create a space where men can challenge themselves physically while building genuine connections and having conversations that often go unspoken: from fear and anxiety to relationships, change, and mental health. What started with 20 guys in 2022 has grown into a consistent community centered around what Cam describes as “shared growth.” The conversation also gets deeply personal as Cam opens up about losing his father at 11, being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease less than a year later, and how those experiences shaped his understanding of resilience, connection, and the importance of positive male role models. Sean and Cam also talk about the pressures men put on themselves, the relationship between physical and mental strength, friendship as an adult, and Cam’s next chapter as he prepares to become a father. It’s an episode about strength beyond the gym and why sometimes being strong means allowing yourself to be vulnerable, lean on others, and realize you don’t have to navigate everything alone.

    EP6 | Being Your Own Biggest Cheerleader

    What does it look like to build a life that feels full before asking someone else to be part of it? In Episode 6 of Cocky & Humble, Sean Williams sits down with special guest Savanna Jurkovic for an open and honest conversation about confidence, relationships, self-love, and the ongoing process of figuring out who you really are. Savanna shares how the end of a relationship became a turning point in her life, pushing her to choose herself, rebuild her identity, and recognize that the security and stability she once searched for in another person were things she could create for herself. Sean and Savanna dive into the pressure society puts on relationships and reaching certain milestones, why being alone can be an important part of personal growth, and what it means to approach dating as a whole person rather than searching for someone to complete you. They also explore the idea of “filling your cup", learning to become your own biggest cheerleader, developing a healthy relationship with yourself, and accepting that growth doesn’t have a final destination. You can feel confident in who you are today while still pursuing the person you want to become. From candid stories and hard questions to plenty of laughs along the way, this episode is about choosing yourself, embracing where you are, and continuing to evolve without waiting for someone else to make your life feel complete. Cocky enough to know your worth. Humble enough to know you’re still growing.

    EP5 | The Magic in the Mess

    Episode 5 of Cocky & Humble is here, and Sean Williams is joined by Anjelica Cirone for a conversation about fitness, relationships, starting over, and what happens when life forces you outside of your comfort zone. Anjelica’s story has taken her from the University of Louisville and Team USA cheerleading to Dallas, the fitness industry, and eventually back home to Chicago. Along the way, she’s navigated new cities, changing friendships, difficult relationships, career pivots, and the challenge of figuring out who you are when the life you knew no longer looks the same. Sean and Anjelica get into what it really means to become comfortable with being uncomfortable: from moving somewhere you barely know anyone and building a new community to learning when it’s time to walk away from relationships that are no longer serving you. They also dive into the world of fitness: Anjelica’s transition from competitive athlete to trainer, the mental side of working out, different fitness cultures between Dallas and Chicago, and the impact trainers can have on the people who walk into their classes. But this episode goes well beyond fitness. Sean and Anjelica talk openly about friendships, competition, independence, self-worth, dating, red flags, learning from past relationships, and why you can’t lose yourself trying to make someone else happy. At the center of the conversation is a simple lesson: don’t settle, stay authentic to who you are, and understand that you’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea...and you don’t need to be. Expect plenty of laughs, unfiltered opinions, tequila, fitness talk, relationship stories, and the kind of conversation you’d normally hear between two friends when the cameras aren’t rolling. 🎙️ Cocky & Humble | Episode 5 Featuring Anjelica Cirone Hosted by Sean Williams Subscribe for new episodes, clips, and conversations from Cocky & Humble. #CockyAndHumble #Podcast #ChicagoPodcast #FitnessPodcast #AnjelicaCirone #SeanWilliams #Fitness #PersonalGrowth #Relationships #Chicago

    EP4 | Born to Struggle, Built to Rise

    Sean sits down with Logan Verboomen to talk about what it really means to keep pushing when things get uncomfortable. From his wrestling background to taking on his first Half Ironman and now training for Ironman Wisconsin, Logan’s story is rooted in competition, discipline, and a willingness to find out just how far he can push himself. All while balancing a 9–5, training, content creation, and everything else life throws at him. But the conversation goes deeper than training. Logan opens up about the meaning behind “Born to Suffer,” how losing his godmother helped shape his purpose, and why he now sees the hard moments as an opportunity to show other people what they’re capable of. Sean and Logan get into confidence, competition, mental toughness, knowing when to push and when to recover, and the discipline it takes to keep chasing a better version of yourself. How bad do you want it when it stops being easy?

    EP3 | The Journey of Success and Failure

    In Episode 3 of Cocky & Humble, Sean sits down with Chicago yoga instructor Colton Ksiazek for a conversation that goes far beyond fitness. Colton shares how he went from working in finance to finding yoga during his time in Dallas, eventually turning that passion into a community built around movement, music, and connection. What started with a handful of friends practicing yoga in a park grew into something much bigger without waiting for the perfect plan, setup, or opportunity. Sean and Colton also get into the deeper side of the journey: having the courage to take risks, embracing imperfection, finding community, and learning to better understand yourself. They open up about men’s mental health, therapy, vulnerability, and why so many men struggle to step into spaces like yoga and group fitness. From building confidence on the outside to doing the work on the inside, this episode is about what can happen when you stop worrying about looking stupid, let go of comparison, and give yourself permission to try something new. Cocky enough to take the leap. Humble enough to know there’s always more to learn.

Together, Sean and Bria unpack what it really means to have a glow-up and why becoming the best version of yourself goes far beyond appearance. They also get into dating and relationships, millennial nostalgia, the moments that shaped them growing up, and plenty of unfiltered opinions along the way. Plus, Sean and Bria share their glow-up tips and tricks and put their opinions to the test with a round of “Hot or Not.” Here’s to growing up, glowing up, and not peaking in high school.
