We all have a story. My mission in life and with this podcast is to help you stop tolerating your own b******t to finally win in life. This podcast will teach you how to become the best version of yourself; mind, body and soul. When you never stop learning, keep the commitments you make to yourself and intentionally seek discomfort; you are truly limitless. I'm here to show you through my story and the story of others that anything is possible when you are willing to suffer a little bit more.

    Powerhouse Reality Check: Showing Up When It’s Hard

    Send us Fan Mail Life doesn’t slow down when you’re struggling, and that’s the part nobody prepares you for. In this episode, I’m getting real about what it looks like to keep showing up when things feel heavy - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because the truth is, most people don’t fail, they just stop when it gets hard. We talk about why consistency matters more than motivation, how to break the cycle of starting over, and what it actually looks like to move forward even when you’re not at your best. This is your reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions to keep going. -------------------------- Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out of their day to listen to this podcast.

    Coach's Corner: How to Stay Consistent When Life Isn’t Perfect

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Coaches Corner, Marco break and myself down one of the biggest things holding people back in fitness: the all-or-nothing mindset. From CrossFit Open experiences to real-life training struggles, we dive into how people let perfection, time constraints, injuries, and lack of equipment become excuses to do nothing — when the real answer is learning how to adapt and keep moving forward. We unpack the difference between pain vs. discomfort, why modifying workouts is a skill (not a weakness), and how consistency — even imperfect — is what actually drives results. You’ll also hear real examples of training through injury, staying consistent while traveling, and why “checking the box” is sometimes exactly what you need. This episode is about shifting your mindset from all-or-nothing… to always something. ---------------------------------- Follow Marco on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/silver_back_media/ Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out of their day to listen to this podcast.

    The Powerhouse Journal: Ghost 7UP, Arnold Recap, and the Real Work Nobody Sees

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Powerhouse Journal, I'm joined by Sean, The Bearded Gorilla, for a conversation that covers way more than just energy drinks. We break down Ghost 7UP, talk about why soda and nostalgia-based collabs keep winning, and dive into some of the biggest trends happening right now in supplements, protein, and the functional beverage space.  From Bum energy pouches and C4 Cereal Killer to new Arnold Expo launches, flavored cream of rice, creatine formats, and the rise of viral energy drink culture, this episode is packed with real industry insight. But this one also goes deeper. We talk about internet trolls, taking risks, building businesses, leaving jobs to chase something bigger, blood work, hormones, GLP-1s, discipline, pain, and the side of success people never see online. I t’s part supplement talk, part life talk, and a reminder that anything worthwhile is going to be hard — so you might as well choose the kind of hard that actually moves you forward.

    Behind-the-Scenes of the Supplement Industry and Living An Uncommon Life with Spencer Lynn

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Spencer Lynn from PricePlow to talk all things supplements, industry realities, and the mindset behind building an uncommon life. Spencer shares his path from football to the Army to the sports nutrition world — including how one Instagram DM helped launch his career.
