In this short solo episode, Brad delivers 10 minutes of straight fire on one of the biggest roadblocks to success—quitting when things get hard. He brings it back to one of the core teachings from The Four Agreements , especially the one that’s most misunderstood: “Always do your best.” But here’s the kicker… Your best doesn’t mean your best ever . It means the best you can do today . And that will look different on a Monday after a full night of sleep versus a Thursday when life is chaos. Brad challenges you to stop falling into the all-or-nothing trap and start owning what “doing your best” looks like for you —day in, day out. If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or beating yourself up for not being perfect… this episode is your reset button. What You’ll Hear: • Why quitting when it gets hard is the pattern that’s stealing your momentum • The misunderstood truth about “doing your best” • How to stay in the game when motivation is gone • A straight-up reminder of what showing up actually looks like Listen, reflect, and get back in the fight.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast , we dive into a surprising topic: the potential dangers of relying too heavily on ChatGPT and other AI tools—especially when it comes to nutrition, fitness, and critical thinking.

We break down where things go wrong—particularly in the nutrition space—and how blindly trusting AI advice can lead to confusion, misinformation, and poor results. We also explore new research showing that overuse of AI tools may be affecting brain development and reducing critical thinking skills in students and young adults. What You’ll Learn: Why generic nutrition advice from AI can do more harm than good The importance of nuance and context in health and fitness How AI might be rewiring the way we think—and not in a good way How to use ChatGPT as a tool without outsourcing your brain The difference between information and wisdom—and why it matters This one’s a call to stay sharp, think critically, and remember: technology is a tool —but you’re the driver.

58:46

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast , I sit down with James Yount — a longtime listener and social media supporter who reached out to share his personal story of transformation. And after hearing it, I knew we had to record this episode. James has been sober from meth for five years. But his story isn’t your typical “before and after.” He was actually overweight during his active addiction — something not often talked about — and has since lost a significant amount of weight as part of his journey back to health. We dive deep into his addiction, what finally led to his rock bottom, and how he found a new path through faith and fitness. James doesn’t coach, sell programs, or try to be anything other than what he is: a guy in recovery who’s passionate about sharing his story to help others. This is one of those episodes that reminds you why we do this work. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s full of heart. We cover: James’ battle with meth addiction and how he finally got clean The unique challenge of being overweight during active addiction How faith became the foundation of his recovery The role fitness played in rebuilding his life What keeps him grounded today — five years sober and thriving Whether you’re in recovery, know someone who is, or just need a reminder of the power of redemption — this one’s worth a listen.
