In this short solo episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise checks in from a torn-up garage gym and an active kitchen renovation to talk about something every busy adult faces: the temptation to punt your workout “just for today.” With tools, lumber, and dust everywhere, a full-time Coast Guard flying schedule, and a growing online coaching business, he walks through the exact thought process of choosing to train anyway—and why that decision matters more than the perfect plan.

Blaise shares how he modified his original 45‑minute run goal into a 30‑minute session with a 10‑minute warm-up and a series of 10‑second sprint intervals with 50‑second recoveries. The point isn’t the numbers; it’s the contract you keep with yourself. He speaks directly to pilots, active duty military members, and former athletes about recognizing when you genuinely need rest versus when you’re just letting “I’ll start tomorrow” win.

If you want to be the person who can still sprint to first base, play pickup sports, dance at your 80th birthday, and run around with grandkids, this episode is a reminder that consistency beats perfection. Wide‑lens training—running, lifting, jumping, moving laterally, and staying powerful—starts with showing up, even when your space, schedule, or life isn’t ideal.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits down with Dr. Jimmy “James” King—strength and conditioning coach, Coast Guard tactical athlete trainer, and lifelong student of human performance. Jimmy shares his journey from Texas to college basketball at Texas A&M–Corpus Christi, and how the demands of collegiate athletics ignited his passion for strength training, performance, and the science of exercise.

We talk about identity after sport, why so many people get stuck in fitness myths, and how tactical athletes and military members can train smarter for longevity, readiness, and real-world performance. Jimmy breaks down what he’s learned through years of coaching in the Coast Guard community and through advanced education in exercise science/kinesiology and doctoral-level work—plus why the best coaches stay humble: the more you learn, the more you realize there’s still more to understand.

If you’re a pilot, active duty military member, or former athlete who wants evidence-based training, better recovery, and sustainable results (without the ego-driven programs), this episode will help you level up.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits down with his good friend Tevin (Big Tev)—a fellow Coast Guard aviator, former Division I football player, and the co-founder of Iron Links.

Tevin shares how he fell in love with golf post-COVID, why the game became a powerful outlet for competition and camaraderie, and how moving from Texas to the DC/Arlington area exposed a real problem: time and accessibility for busy working professionals.

That problem sparked the vision for Iron Links—an “under one roof” wellness club built around golf, strength training, and recovery so people can work on their craft while also taking care of their body and mind.

We talk about why community and accountability beat “free info” (even in the age of AI), how decision fatigue is quietly crushing consistency, and why the real win isn’t always crushing a workout—sometimes it’s showing up, hitting balls, sitting in the sauna, and resetting so you can be better at home and at work.

Tevin also opens up about a stressful career moment when his promotion timeline got held up due to a clerical issue outside of his control, and how that uncertainty pushed him and his wife to seriously ask “what’s next?”—leading to Iron Links becoming a real passion project and long-term plan alongside active duty life.

We wrap with practical mindset takeaways for high performers: build simple systems, protect your relationships, give yourself permission to have fun again, and remember why you train in the first place—so you can keep playing the game of life for a long time.

In this solo episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise breaks down one of the most common questions he gets from busy pilots, active duty military members, and former athletes: how many days per week should you actually train to lose fat, build strength, and feel good again?

Blaise shares a real conversation with a Coast Guard maintainer juggling a demanding schedule, two young kids, and an upcoming 8-month deployment for his spouse—and why “more” (fasted cardio every morning plus 2-hour lifts) isn’t always the answer when life gets chaotic. He digs into what really drives results outside the gym—sleep, recovery, daily movement, and habits like alcohol intake—and why an all-or-nothing mentality is the fastest way to burn out.

You’ll also hear Blaise’s practical baseline recommendation for most adults: three strength-focused sessions per week (about 30 minutes each), built around simple movement patterns you can sustain all year. He outlines an easy weekly structure (push/pull for upper and lower body), what to do on “off” days (walk, ruck, mobility, quick movement breaks), and how to choose training you actually enjoy so you’ll stay consistent for the long haul.

If you’ve ever tried to “fix everything” with an extreme plan, this episode will help you simplify, get honest about what’s holding you back, and build a routine you can execute—even with a military schedule.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits down with Malcolm Boone, a former college and overseas pro basketball player turned elementary educator and now a wellness and resilience speaker. Malcolm shares his journey from identity crisis after sport, to the classroom, to speaking on stages and with organizations like the Kevin Love Fund, helping kids and communities slow down in a fast-paced world.

We talk about how to introduce breathwork and mindfulness to kids without it feeling “weird,” why routines beat one-off tactics, and how simple tools like a 2–4–6 breathing pattern can shift a child (or adult) from stressed to calm in a few minutes. Malcolm also shares powerful stories from the classroom, including former students using affirmations and breathing on their own during stressful moments—and even reporting changes in their heart rate and how they talk to themselves.

If you’re a parent, coach, teacher, or former athlete who’s ever struggled with identity, stress, or feeling “always on,” this episode will give you practical tools to build a more resilient mind and help the next generation do the same.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits down with Sean Garner (Sean Garner Consulting), a former fitness coach and Men’s Health Magazine writer turned marketing agency owner.

Sean breaks down how big brands think, why “clarity always wins,” and the simple frameworks he learned creating content at Men’s Health that still apply to fitness, coaching, and business growth today.

We talk StoryBrand-style messaging, content that hooks fast, and why your audience doesn’t want more complexity—they want simple, actionable steps that feel attainable. Sean also shares 5 fast fixes he sees in almost every fitness business website:

1. Unclear messaging
2. A weak/unclear offer
3. No funnel collecting leads
4. No system to consistently fill the funnel
5. No tracking/data (running the business by gut feel)

If you’re a coach, gym owner, or online trainer trying to get more leads without feeling salesy, this episode will help you build a simple marketing system that actually converts.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits down with Pat Darby—founder of Sin City CFO and Darby Wealth Planning—to break down the money side of being a fitness entrepreneur. Pat explains the difference between tax prep (recording the past) and proactive tax strategy (planning ahead), why there’s no extension on tax payments even if you extend paperwork, and the “silent killer” for new business owners: self-employment tax.

You’ll learn the first best move for brand-new entrepreneurs (separate business bank account + card), what you can and can’t write off, and why an LLC is mainly a legal/asset-protection tool—not a tax strategy. Pat also breaks down when an S-Corp actually starts to make sense (often around ~$50K net profit), how to think about quarterly taxes, and how business owners can legally pull levers that W-2 employees don’t have access to.

We also go into wealth-building: how Pat helps clients lower taxes, increase net profit, and then invest intentionally (including the concept of self-directed retirement accounts and why big institutions often won’t even bring it up). If you’re an online coach, gym owner, or health pro who wants to keep more of what you earn and build wealth without getting blindsided every April, this is a must-listen.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits down with Cavan after connecting through Caleb and CrossFit. They go deep on Cavan’s origin story—growing up in New York, music school and band life, partying, nearly failing out, and hitting 300 lbs before one “no” from a lacrosse coach sparked a complete turnaround. Cavan shares how he lost weight, rebuilt his grades, became a captain, and transitioned from retail management in NYC into coaching full-time in the CrossFit world.

From there, the conversation shifts into entrepreneurship: building a mobile training business, scaling to a 500+ client/month seven-figure operation, and then choosing to burn it down when success didn’t feel like success anymore. Cavan breaks down what he learned from closing a thriving business, taking 2025 to soul-search, writing a book, and now building a new mission-driven business with his fiancée—helping online entrepreneurs organize their life and business from the inside out.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise sits back down with returning guest and fellow coach Brady Hutchins to unpack his new book, The God Within: Remembering Who You Are in a World That Tells You Who to Be. They dive into why Brady stepped away from the noise of social media to write, how his family’s story of trauma and recovery shaped the message of the book, and what it means to live from “True North” instead of getting pulled by everyone else’s expectations.

You’ll hear Brady talk about people-pleasing, filtering your truth to keep the peace, and the cost of silencing what you know in your heart is right, along with how fitness, spirituality, plant medicine, mentorship, and nervous-system work all intersect when you’re trying to become a more grounded man, coach, or leader.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, we break down National Quitters Day (January 9th) and why most New Year's resolutions die after the first couple of weeks. You'll learn how to shrink the target, set a realistic "non-negotiable floor" (like a 10-minute walk), and build simple systems (timers, environment, accountability) so you're not relying on willpower alone.

We also cover paralysis by analysis and how to filter the noise by leaning on a few trusted coaches, mentors, and a community that keeps you moving.

Plus: the Lift the Plane Challenge is live—squat your bodyweight for enough reps to total 67,241 pounds (the weight of the Coast Guard aircraft Blaise flies). Track it inside the Blue Chip app and earn an exclusive Lift the Plane patch while you compete with the crew.
