Ep. 40: Breaking The Habits That Are Breaking You

We talk honestly about the habits that hold us back from becoming our best selves, even when we have big goals and good intentions. We unpack what success really costs, why perfectionism can stall progress, and how to keep moving when growth feels like drowning.
• Why we should not model our whole life after one “hero”
• The hidden sacrifices behind money, status, and achievement
• Why copying what successful people do now fails beginners
• The value of advice from someone just ahead of you
• “Drown then breathe” as a career and leadership playbook
• Skin in the game and why commitment changes behavior
• Corporate learning versus entrepreneurship with real consequences
• Amazon as proof that the first idea is rarely final
• Our current bad habits, including time waste and no schedule
• Late-night FOMO, social media research loops, and sleep costs
• Perfectionism, shipping work, and GETMO good enough to move on

EP. 39. Effects Of A 72 Hour Fast

Three days without food sounds like misery until you realize the hardest part is not hunger, it is routine. Nick Urankar records a solo run right after finishing a 72-hour fast and tells the full story, including the moment the group challenge turned into a one-person decision. We talk about why fasting benefits go beyond the scale, how it feels once you pass the first 24 hours, and why “I just miss chewing” might be the most honest line you will hear about appetite.

We also answer the questions people actually ask when they are considering a water fast or intermittent fasting: What can you drink while fasting? Is black coffee OK? Why do electrolytes matter? Is bone broth “cheating” or just a practical tool? Nick shares what he used, what he avoided, and why the goal is progress not perfection. Jake jumps in with insights on water weight, glycogen, mental clarity, and the bigger reason many people fast in the first place: giving your body space to recover and clear out what is not serving you.

If you are thinking about weight loss, we cut through the noise. A 72-hour fast can drop pounds fast, but most of that comes back quickly, so the real win is the reset and the intention you bring to breaking a fast. Nick explains how he reintroduced food with a simple meal and why planning that meal ahead can keep you from undoing the work. We also cover fasted workouts, dialing back intensity, and keeping your focus on the long game instead of one dramatic week.

What would you try first: a 16-hour intermittent fast or a full 24 hours?

Ep. 38. You Don't Need More Motivation. You Need More Action.

We ask a blunt question: are we actually becoming who we said we’d be, or are we hiding behind old stories and small excuses. We talk fear, discipline, long-term choices, and the tiny habits that make you a better partner and a better version of yourself.
• using fear as fuel instead of a stop sign
• why “manifestation” only works with consistent doing
• chasing long-term goals without trading them for short-term comfort
• the difference between one big excuse and many small misaligned choices
• accepting outcomes without blaming the world
• staying present instead of living in past highlight reels
• becoming a better husband by being intentional again
• the daily “143” alarm as a simple connection habit
• discipline as doing what you don’t want to do
• finding inspiration in extreme efforts like ultra marathons
