    When Growth Outpaces the Room | Ep. 31 | The B.A.D. Project

    In this episode, we talk about how memories come and go, and how the connection to them can return when you’re actively striving forward instead of standing still. We get into what it means to be an “old soul,” how growing up fast and experiencing life early can shape you, and the balance between the strengths it builds and the weight it adds. We also dive into leadership among friends—what happens when your growth starts to outpace the room, and why holding back your goals to protect others can quietly stall your own progress. Not everyone wants help. Some just want attention, and learning the difference is part of maturing. This conversation is about growth, responsibility, memory, and the uncomfortable reality that sometimes moving forward means moving ahead—even when others aren’t ready. 🧢 Gear Up & Support the MissionThe B.A.D.

    You’re Not Lost—You’re Avoiding the Move | Ep. 30 | The B.A.D. Project

    In this episode, We break down the idea of black and white advice: yes or no, go or don’t go, start or stop. When we add color—time, emotion, overthinking—we slow ourselves down and make movement harder.We get into how something as small as dropping down and doing five pushups can jumpstart an entirely new routine. Trick your mind. Start tiny. Build momentum.And finally, we talk about stagnation—how “finding” something doesn’t exist without searching. Sitting still and looking for answers doesn’t mean you’re failing. Sometimes it’s part of the process. Searching isn’t a bad thing—it’s how clarity shows up.🧢 Gear Up & Support the MissionThe B.A.D.

    Built in the Slow Months “Giving Up and Giving In” | Ep. 29 | The B.A.D. Project

    Winter isn’t a setback—it’s the training ground. In this episode, Matt and I talk about how the winter months are naturally designed for us to slow down, reflect, and face the parts of ourselves we usually outrun. We get into how doubt creeps in when success doesn’t happen overnight, when momentum stalls, and when giving things up starts to feel heavier than pushing forward. This is a conversation about fighting tooth and nail through the quiet seasons—the days where nothing feels flashy, nothing feels rewarding, and your own mind becomes the biggest obstacle. Progress isn’t always loud. Most of the work happens when no one’s watching. 🧢 Gear Up & Support the MissionThe B.A.D. Project isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement.

Project In this episode, Garrett and Matt sit down to catch up on life and talk honestly about the slumps we create for ourselves when years of nonstop work finally catch up. We break down the difference between real rest and getting stuck — and how taking a break can feel like laziness even when it’s exactly what you need, as long as you don’t let it turn into quitting. Garrett shares the recent reset at home, from finishing long-overdue projects to building a new bedroom library, and how changing your space can help reset your head and your momentum. We also talk about finding hobbies, staying curious, and trying something new each month — not to be great at it, but to figure out what actually lights you up again. 👊 Our Sponsors ☕ Construction Coffee Co.Built by tradespeople, for tradespeople.Bold blends, gritty gear, and coffee that doesn’t flinch when the work gets tough.🔥 First time ordering?

We get into taking real time to unpack the past year, working on yourself at your own pace, and why growth doesn’t always come from flipping a switch on January 1st. Sometimes the most important progress happens slowly, quietly, and without a checklist. We also talk about the fine line between helping people and enabling them — and why offering honest advice (even if it’s not used) is sometimes the best thing you can do. Some lessons can’t be handed over. They have to be lived, struggled through, and earned.🛍 Shop Now: https://shop.app/m/7ut2bgdcqr?utm_source=shop_app 👊 Our Sponsors ☕ Construction Coffee Co.Built by tradespeople, for tradespeople.Bold blends, gritty gear, and coffee that doesn’t flinch when the work gets tough.🔥 First time ordering?

After Garrett’s brother tragically lost his dog in an accident, the conversation opens up around grief. Dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family From there, we dig into a hard truth: freedom without responsibility fails. Freedom isn’t reckless. It isn’t careless. It requires awareness, effort, and stewardship. We also talk about Christmas plans, growing up, and how perspective shifts as you age and experience loss firsthand. And we bring it back to The B.A.D. Operation — how even when you fail, something is still left behind. A lesson.
