Ep. 42. Freedom Or Comfort: Lessons From The Wolf And The Dog

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525580/fan_mail/new] Ep. 42 Freedom Or Comfort: Lesson From The Wolf And The Dog We read the fable of the dog and the wolf and use it to figure out why comfort can feel safe while still quietly costing us freedom. We get honest about the collars we wear, how fear and approval shape our choices, and why vulnerability and self-advocacy matter in real life.  • reading the dog and the wolf and focusing on the collar  • freedom versus comfort and why neither path is easy  • collars in modern life: salary, titles, relationships, faith, routines  • discipline versus rigidity and the trap of performative routines  • chasing approval and fearing what people will say  • choosing the short pain of truth over the long pain of lying  • comparing our insides to everyone else’s outsides  • Chelsea’s basal cell story, community support, and getting checked  • identifying your collar and building an action plan to remove it  Subscribe, like, do all that fun jazz  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525580/support] Let us know your feedback!

EP. 39. Effects Of A 72 Hour Fast

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525580/fan_mail/new] 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. Subscribe, share the show, and leave a review if this helped.  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.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525580/fan_mail/new] 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  Please share, subscribe, um, feedback, all the above  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2525580/support] Let us know your feedback!
