Good Enough Is Killing You

Good Enough Is Killing You
We live in a world where standards have dropped so low that mediocrity is the new normal. “Good enough” is celebrated. Average is accepted. And if you dare to raise your standards? You’ll be attacked for it. In this episode, I share a story that stopped me in my tracks — watching a class of new state troopers graduate while carrying visible proof of sub-par fitness. This isn’t about shaming anyone. It’s about asking a hard question: How did we get to a place where organizations built to protect and serve are okay with lowering the bar? This episode will challenge you to: ✅ Stop accepting society’s watered-down standards ✅ Recognize where you’ve lowered your own bar ✅ Understand why people get uncomfortable around high standards ✅ Commit to raising your standards daily — no excuses Because here’s the truth: your life will never rise above the standard you set for yourself. Raise the standard. Hold the line. Refuse to settle. Ready to level up?

🎙️Your Beliefs Are Either Your Prison or Your Passport

🎙️Your Beliefs Are Either Your Prison or Your Passport
At some point in life, most of us stopped believing in ourselves. We traded the bold confidence of our 8-year-old self for excuses, comparisons, and doubt. In this episode, I’m breaking down why your beliefs shape your reality — and how the stories you tell yourself are either keeping you stuck… or setting you free. I’ll share my own turning point, from late-night mozzarella sticks to losing over 100 pounds — and how it all started with a single decision to believe. We’ll dig into: ✅ Why limiting beliefs quietly run your life ✅ How comfort and excuses drain your strength ✅ Why belief must come before discipline, habits, and results ✅ How to reconnect with that childlike certainty that nothing can hold you back Because here’s the truth: Your beliefs are your reality. And if you start believing again, the action will follow — and so will the results. Ready to level up?

🎙️If You Can’t Lead You, You Can’t Lead Anyone
You want influence? Respect? A family and team that follows your lead? Then start here — lead yourself first. In this episode, I break down the four pillars that shape everything you are and everything you do: Strength, Power, Health, and Family. We’ll dig into: ✅ Why real strength is built in the unseen reps ✅ How to build internal power without chasing approval ✅ The connection between your purpose and your daily habits ✅ Why your actions set the standard your family will follow This isn’t theory — it’s a blueprint for raising your standards, taking ownership, and showing up as the leader your life needs. Stop waiting for permission. Stop living at average. Lead yourself first — and watch everything else rise with you. Ready to level up?

🎙️Your Word Is Your Strength

🎙️Your Word Is Your Strength
You can have muscle. You can have discipline. But if you don’t keep your word — you’re not strong. Not where it counts. In this episode, I break down the first agreement from The Four Agreements: Be impeccable with your word. This one principle will test you, stretch you, and ultimately transform the way you lead yourself and the people around you. Because when you say you’re going to do something — and you actually follow through — you build more than trust… You build unshakable internal strength. We’ll unpack: ✅ Why breaking your word destroys self-respect ✅ How following through creates real power ✅ The connection between discipline, confidence, and leadership ✅ What to do when you fall short — and how to rebuild fast This isn’t about perfection — it’s about personal standards. And if you’re ready to become a man of your word — this episode is for you. Ready to level up?

🎙️ Control Yourself or Stay Powerless
If you can't control your habits, emotions, or decisions — don't expect to control your life. In this episode, we're tearing the lid off the biggest lie men believe: That power is something you find. Truth is, power is something you build. And it starts with self-control, discipline, and raising your damn standards. We talk about why most guys stay stuck — not because they don’t know what to do, but because they keep tolerating a version of themselves that plays small. You say you want to lead? You say you want freedom? Cool — then start by leading yourself. Because when no one’s watching? That’s where real power is built. Ready to level up?

🎙️ Who Are You… Really? Stop Renting Power.
Who Are You… Really? Stop Renting Power. Are you still calling yourself broke, weak, stuck—or just average? In today’s episode, I’m hitting you with a truth most people avoid: who you say you are… is exactly who you’ll stay. I’ll share a powerful story about a young guy in Milan who thought a suit could give him power. The lesson? Power isn’t something you wear. It’s something you build inside. If you’re tired of carrying your past like a backpack, stuck in old stories that no longer serve you, this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to stop editing your old story and start writing your next book—your Version 2.0. Listen in and let’s rebuild your identity from the inside out.

This one’s not for the comfort seekers — it’s for the builders. In this solo episode, I break down what it really means to be “savage” — not in the loud, performative way you see online… but in the quiet, disciplined way that actually changes your life. We dive into: The deeper meaning of Independence Day and the freedom to grow Why consistency beats motivation every time The hard truth about your environment and who you’re allowing to shape you Why most people talk about success but never actually do the work The 5/95 rule: 5% skill, 95% showing the hell up daily If you’ve been feeling stuck, coasting, or surrounded by people who aren’t pushing you forward — this one is your wake-up call. 🔥 Ready to level up?

🎙️ The Greatest Role I’ll Ever Have: A Real Talk With My 7-Year-Old Daughter
This episode is personal. It’s raw. And it’s one I’ll carry with me forever. My daughter turns 7 tomorrow… and instead of just talking about fatherhood, I wanted to live it right here with you. So in today’s episode, we sat down together — just the two of us — to talk life, love, and what it means to show up as a dad. You’ll hear her answers to some fun questions I asked, and I’ll share the real side of being a father without a blueprint — just heart, grit, and a desire to break cycles. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. So whether you’re a dad, a soon-to-be dad, or someone reflecting on your own relationship with fatherhood — this one’s for you. 🔥 Ready to level up?

In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Mullins — U.S. Army National Guard dietitian and the lead nutrition expert for 1st Phorm — to break down why simplicity always wins. We talk about: Why your health impacts everything in your life The power of small, consistent changes Why most people fail chasing complexity How to cut the fluff and focus on what actually moves the needle Jeremy brings over two decades of experience working with soldiers, athletes, and everyday people trying to win in real life — not just on a spreadsheet.

🎙️ The Weight We Carry — And Why It’s Time to Speak Up
This isn’t just a conversation. This is a mission. A mission to break the silence, to shatter the stigma around mental health, and to remind men everywhere: you’re not alone. In this raw and powerful episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, we open the door to a conversation most men never have — but desperately need. Kevin shares the pain of losing his son, the weight of showing up while carrying grief, and how that pain became a purpose. Firefighter and mental health advocate Jacob dives into his journey from suicidal thoughts to building a brotherhood of support and healing. You’ll hear real stories — from overcoming addiction and imposter syndrome, to ditching intense fitness fads in favor of consistent daily growth. You’ll hear how vulnerability becomes strength… and how leading from the front starts with looking inward. This is for the men who are tired of pretending. This is for the men who want more — more peace, more purpose, more strength. Inside this episode: The power of safe spaces for men to speak the truth Rebuilding from loss, pain, and suicidal thoughts Why consistency beats the 75-day sprints every time The mission to rewrite mental health for the next generation How leadership starts with personal responsibility and community Whether you're in the fire, on the edge, or already rising — this episode will meet you there. 💥 Ready to grow through what you’re going through?

Fatherhood Without a Blueprint
Happy Father’s Day to the ones actually doing the work. Not just the ones wearing the title. Not the ones posting for likes. But the men who are breaking cycles. The ones showing up — even when it’s heavy. In this special Father’s Day episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, I share what it’s meant to be a father without a blueprint… To raise something different while still learning how to lead. To show up, imperfect but consistent. And to live in a way your kids can feel — not just see. Inside this episode: What it means to lead without a model Why presence will always beat perfection The legacy we build in our actions, not just our words A reminder that if you're in the arena, you’re not alone This one’s for the dads who are still healing while leading. The ones rewriting the script. The ones who show up anyway. 💥 Ready to grow and lead with intention?

🎙️ The Smile on Your Face Can’t Hide the Cage in Your Chest
In this episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, we’re getting brutally honest: There’s a version of you you’ve been hiding — and it’s killing you inside. You buried him. You locked him away. Maybe someone shut him down… Maybe you told yourself he wasn’t good enough. So you started playing small. You kept it safe. And now you walk around with a smile on your face — but a cage in your chest. This episode is a challenge. To stop living for comfort, approval, or false peace. And to finally give yourself permission to be you. Inside this episode: Why most people are scared of their true potential The silent cost of playing a role that’s not aligned What you’re really afraid of losing when you break free How to reconnect with the version of you that’s been buried Why the world doesn’t need more approval-seekers — it needs truth-tellers “Be strong enough to let that version out. Not for applause. But because that’s where freedom starts.” Ready to let that version of you out?

In this episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, I’m coming in raw with a reminder we all need — including myself: You don’t need the newest hack. You need discipline. You need consistency. You need the fundamentals. Everyone’s chasing the next big thing… The new science. The flashy method. The shortcut that promises results with less work. But let me ask you: Have you even mastered the basics yet? You’re looking for marginal gains when you haven’t even built a foundation. And no new tactic will fix a weak base.

🎙️ Episode 48: What You Search For… You Find
In this episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, I share a real conversation from a group road ride that hit deeper than expected. A guy asked me if creatine was worth the hype. Said he tried it for two weeks and didn’t see anything but water weight. Then told me he read studies that say it doesn’t work for 20% of people — so he figured he’s part of that 20%. But here’s the truth: What you search for… you find. This isn’t about creatine. It’s about how quick we are to quit. How fast we search for reasons something won’t work instead of leaning into the effort and consistency it takes to see results — in training, in business, in life. Inside this episode: Why your mindset controls what you “find” How most people quit before they ever give something a real chance Why doubt is often disguised as research How to shift from validation-seeking to growth-building What it takes to stay committed long enough to win If you’re tired of bailing early and ready to build the discipline to actually follow through — this one’s for you. 🔥 Ready to level up for real?

In this episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, we’re calling out the silent killer of growth — playing small. Too many people sit back and watch others build their dream life while they stay stuck in hesitation. Is it fear? A lack of clarity? Not knowing where to start? Maybe. But here’s the truth… Nobody who built something great had it all figured out. They just started. This episode will challenge you to: Stop waiting for clarity and start taking action Question if your “why” is actually strong enough to move you Step into the unknown without a guarantee — because that’s where purpose is found Recognize that the most successful people don’t do it alone You’re not stuck. You’re just playing small. And it’s time to stop. 🔥 Ready to level up?

To dim your light. To settle. Here’s the truth: You ARE better. Better at discipline. Better at controlling your future. Better at refusing to settle for average when greatness is calling.

You Are Enough

You Are Enough
In this episode of Strong Mind Strong Body, we dive deep into the truth that most people never hear enough: you are enough. From childhood, we’re handed beliefs about what we can and can’t do — sometimes from family, teachers, even friends — and often, those beliefs weren’t meant to harm us… but they did. The problem? Those voices shaped your reality. They weren’t rooted in your potential — they were rooted in their limitations. Today, we’re calling that out. It’s time to break free from the lies and remember: you are capable, worthy, and built for greatness. If the average person thinks your goals are “crazy,” you’re probably on the right path. We’ll unpack where limiting beliefs come from, how to recognize them, and how to rewire your mindset so you can step into who your younger self dreamt of becoming — and who your future self will be proud of.

Stop Pretending You Don’t Care What People Think — It’s OK to Care (But Don’t Let It Stop You)
You’ve heard the advice: “Just stop caring what people think.” Sounds good… until those thoughts creep in and start running the show. Truth is — you do care. I care. We all do. And pretending you don’t is just fake hustle. In this episode, I’m calling out the out-of-touch influencer mindset that says you should be bulletproof to opinions. Because here’s the real deal — it’s normal to care. But you can’t let it control you. I’ll break down why those fears show up, how to handle them when they do, and why your story still needs to be shared even if you feel judged. We’re talking about building self-awareness, staying true to your mission, and pushing forward even when doubt shows up. Because at the end of the day, what you do can impact lives — but not if you stay silent. 🎧 Hit play and let’s talk about how to move through the fear — not ignore it.

You’re not someone “trying” to quit smoking — you’re a non-smoker now. You’re not “on a diet” — you’re someone who eats healthy. In this episode, I break down why counting days keeps you stuck in your old identity and how to shift into a new one. I’ll also talk about why New Year’s resolutions fail and how to actually become the person you want to be by mimicking their habits and mindset. If you’re tired of starting over — it’s time to stop counting and start becoming. 🔥 If this hits home, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

👉 Perfection is the Enemy of Good – Why Overthinking Your Diet is Holding You Back
In this episode, we dive into why perfectionism in nutrition is setting you up to fail — and how to finally break free from analysis paralysis. In today’s world, it feels like everything we eat is “bad” for us. Social media and headlines tell us that coffee, meat, carbs, seed oils — basically everything — is killing us. But the truth is, most of these claims are based on misleading studies conducted in unrealistic settings (often on animals). The reality? Consistency matters more than perfection. You don’t need to follow a strict diet to see results — you just need to focus on simple, sustainable habits: ✅ Prioritize lean protein (chicken, turkey, fish, Greek yogurt) ✅ Include whole grains (brown rice, oats, quinoa) ✅ Get enough healthy fats (avocados, olive oil, nuts) ✅ Load up on fruits and vegetables ✅ Stay hydrated Perfection isn’t the goal — progress is. If you’re tired of overthinking every meal and feeling paralyzed by conflicting information, this episode will help you simplify your approach, focus on what matters, and start seeing real results. 🎧 Tune in and learn how to stop chasing perfection and start building real momentum with your nutrition!

Can Cyclist Learn from Body Builders?
Nutrition for Muscle Growth—What Cyclists Are Missing Most bodybuilders and lifters follow a simple formula: bulk to gain muscle, cut to lose fat—but cyclists? They’re always in a cut. Always chasing watts per kilo, always afraid of “getting too big.” But at what cost? In this episode, we break down the fundamentals of nutrition for muscle growth, why endurance athletes need to stop fearing strength, and how to fuel properly without compromising performance. Adaptation is real, but if you’re constantly in a deficit, what are you actually adapting to? How much strength are you leaving on the table? It’s time to rethink the way we approach food, muscle, and performance. If you want to be strong on the bike and in life, this one’s for you.
