  • The Quiet Strength of Consistency - Bryce Walker |Ep120
    Dec 22 2025
    “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston ChurchillIn this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Bryce Walker, a former college football player at Utah State and a man whose story redefines what real strength looks like.At 6’9” and 410 pounds, Bryce is physically imposing — but the real weight he carried came from a different place. Every season of his college football career, Bryce gave everything he had… and every season ended with a season-ending injury. Again and again, the thing he loved most was taken from him just when he poured his whole heart into it.Bryce opens up about what that cycle did to his mindset, his identity, and his sense of masculinity. He talks about learning mental fortitude the hard way, building systems and processes to survive dark seasons, and why a positive mentality isn’t pretending things are fine — it’s choosing to keep moving forward anyway.Woven through the seriousness are laughs, light moments, and the kind of humor that only comes from real brotherhood. Bryce is a good man, a devoted father, and a reminder that strength isn’t just about size or toughness — it’s about resilience, discipline, and showing up even when life keeps knocking you down.

  • Why Men Don’t Seek Help - And What It’s Costing Them |Ep119
    Dec 15 2025

    “Vulnerability is not weakness. It is our greatest measure of courage.” – Brené Brown

    In this episode, Logan and Tyson are joined off screen by their good friend, and man behind the cameras of Dad Bods & Beards, Cole Chapman to sit down for an honest, no-filter conversation about one of the biggest barriers to men’s mental health: Why so many men don’t ask for help.

    They break down the most common reasons men avoid therapy and emotional support From fear of appearing weak, pride, stigma, and the lack of trust. To not knowing where to start, financial burdens, and the belief that they should be able to “handle it on their own.”

    This episode challenges the outdated idea that strength means silence. Instead, it reframes vulnerability as responsibility to yourself, to your family, and to the people who depend on you.

    This is a necessary conversation for men who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated, and for anyone who’s ever wondered why men wait until they’re at a breaking point before reaching out. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll deal with it later,” this episode is your reminder that later isn’t guaranteed — but help is available right now.

  • The 60 Second Shift That Can Change Your Life - Ashlee Stratton | Ep118
    Dec 8 2025
    “Feelings are much like waves; we can’t stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf.” – Jonatan MårtenssonIn this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Ashlee Stratton for a powerful and practical conversation about emotional intelligence and the way our emotions shape every choice, reaction, and relationship in our lives.Ashlee breaks down the truth that most people never realize: your emotions are driving the car, whether you're aware of it or not. She explains how fear, insecurity, and old emotional patterns quietly dictate our behavior and how becoming conscious of those patterns is the key to true freedom and better decision-making.She introduces her signature method, the 60-Second Shift. A simple, science-backed process that helps you interrupt emotional autopilot, reset your nervous system, and step back into clarity instead of chaos. What follows is an honest discussion about identity, fear, mindfulness, self-awareness, and why emotional intelligence might be the most important skill we’re never taught.This episode is practical, relatable, and empowering and one we hope can be used as a roadmap for anyone who wants to stop letting fear run their life and start living from intention instead of reaction.
