  • The 5 Reasons You Feel Physically Broken & The 1 Mindset Shift That Will Help (w/ Scott Hogan)
    Jan 29 2026

    What if the aches, stiffness, and limitations you've been accepting as "just part of getting older" aren't inevitable at all?

    In this conversation with Scott Hogan, author of Built from Broken, we explore the five root causes of feeling physically broken — from posture and movement patterns to tendinopathy and muscle imbalances — and the one mindset shift that changes everything: refusing to accept pain as your new normal.

    You'll learn why load training is the only way to actually heal connective tissue, why quarterly PT visits should be as routine as dental checkups, and how being your own mechanic means taking proactive ownership of your body's longevity.

    This isn't about surviving the next decade — it's about building a body that's capable, resilient, and ready for whatever life throws at you. If you've been training around pain instead of through it, this episode will show you a better way forward.

  • 7 Training Habits Average Athletes Skip (But Elite Athletes Never Do)
    Jan 26 2026

    Why do the best athletes train less intensely than you might think — and still get better results?

    In this episode, Ben, Cole, and Jamison break down the seven training principles that separate elite performance from burnout: warming up like you mean it, lifting with intention instead of ego, and understanding that pacing is the actual secret to getting fitter.

    You'll discover why training at 60% effort builds more capacity than going all-out every session, why rest days aren't optional, and how discipline beats intensity every single time.

    These aren't hacks — they're the fundamentals that create sustainable, lifelong strength. If you're training hard but not seeing results, this episode will change how you show up in the gym tomorrow.

  • An Upside-Down Food Pyramid & New "Healthy" Labels Won't Save Us (w/ EC Synkowski)
    Jan 19 2026

    What if the real problem with America's health crisis isn't a lack of guidance — but too much noise? In this special crossover episode from The Consistency Project podcast, EC Synkowski joins us to break down the latest USDA dietary guidelines and FDA labeling rules, revealing why neither will actually move the needle on public health. You'll discover why the government keeps getting nutrition guidance wrong, what's really driving our health crisis, and why you already have everything you need to cut through the confusion.

    This is about more than nutrition policy — it's about reclaiming your agency to make simple choices in a system designed to overwhelm you. EC brings her signature clarity to help you shut out the noise and get back to what actually works: whole foods, proper amounts, boring basics. If you've ever felt paralyzed by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation will set you free.
