About this listen

Welcome to the Rising Tribes Podcast — where raw conversations meet real growth.

Hosted by two former professional athletes turned husbands, fathers, and high-performance leaders, this is the podcast for people who look like they’ve got it all together… but still carry the silent weight of pressure, expectation, and self-doubt.

We talk about what most people only think about — the stuff that lives in your chest and keeps you up at night. From marriage and parenting to sex, business, faith, fitness, money, mental health, and the quiet battle of “am I enough?” — nothing is off-limits here.

Alongside our wives and powerful guests, we’re building a tribe of everyday warriors who are deeply rooted in character and relentlessly rising in every area of life.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not self-help fluff.
It’s honest, bold, unfiltered conversation — with people who get it.

Because the strongest tribes don’t fake it. They rise together.

  • EP 22: Living Intentional in 2026 | Brax & Natalie Edition
    Jan 5 2026

    What if the answer for 2026 isn’t doing more… but doing what you already have with intention?

    In this episode of the Rising Tribes Podcast, Braxston sits down with his wife, Natalie, for an honest conversation about faith, family, time, and the pressure to constantly add more goals in already full seasons of life.

    They talk about:

    • Why traditional goal-setting can feel overwhelming when you’re in survival mode
    • Shifting from rushing through life to being present in it
    • Faith as time stewardship — God is the King of time, we are the keepers
    • What it really means to trust God (the “metal chair” analogy)
    • Protecting marriage through intentional connection and shared experiences
    • Creating meaningful family memories instead of just getting through the days
    • Navigating fitness, routines, setbacks, and grace in busy seasons

    This episode is for anyone who feels stretched thin, loves their life but wants to live it more fully, and is ready to stop going through the motions.

    Not more goals.
    Not more pressure.
    Just a better way to live what you already have.

    In this episode, Nick and Chelssie talk about why they eliminated alcohol in 2025—and how that single decision set the foundation for growth heading into 2026.

    You’ll hear how removing alcohol impacted:

    • clarity and decision-making
    • daily habits and routines
    • environment and relationships
    • long-term goals across health, family, and finances

    If you’re thinking about how to close out 2025 strong and step into 2026 with momentum, this episode shows how one aligned decision can quietly change everything.

  • EP 20: 2026 Goals Blueprint: 1,200 Miles, 20,000 Burpees & “Never Zero”
    Dec 22 2025

    Send us a text

    It’s the 2026 planning episode. Nick Urankar and Braxston Cave lay out a simple, repeatable framework you can actually stick to: four pillars (Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances), 1–3 measurable goals per pillar, and a daily “Never Zero” rule so you don’t throw up goose eggs.

    We break down our personal challenge—1,200 miles run (~5K/day) and 20,000 burpees (~50/day)—plus how to design habits, schedule weekly reviews, and protect time so life doesn’t steamroll your plan. You’ll hear how we date our kids monthly, why quarterly spouse trips matter, how to track wins with a visual habit calendar, and what a year-defining Misogi could be for you. If you want a 45-minute daily system that compounds—this is it.

    Search terms: 2026 goals, annual planning, habit tracker, Never Zero, men’s fitness goals, 5K a day, burpee challenge, family goals, faith goals, finances, Misogi.
