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.

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, Blaise checks in from a cold Christmas Eve walk in New Jersey to break down what it really means to train toward your goals, not just copy what looks cool online. He shares why he doesn’t train like a bodybuilder or a pure mobility/animal flow coach, and instead focuses on staying athletic enough to play beer league sports, get off the floor with family, and move well for decades to come.

You’ll hear how to reverse-engineer your training from the life you want at 60–80 years old, why fitness is a “perishable skill” you can’t turn off, and how to find a sustainable pace (your “forever clip”) with workouts, nutrition, and lifestyle instead of yo-yoing between all-in weeks and blowout weekends. Blaise also talks about aesthetics as the “sizzle” that might get you in the door—but why the real win is building habits that let you look, move, and feel your best year after year.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How to align your training style with what you actually want your body to do in real life
• The tradeoffs between extreme “Rambo shredded” goals and long-term, athletic longevity
• Why fitness, strength, and mobility are skills that fade if you stop practicing
• What it looks like to find a training and nutrition rhythm you can sustain forever (your “forever clip”)
• Why former athletes, pilots, and “beer league” athletes need to rethink how they train as adults

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, I sit down with Jordan to unpack what happens when your identity gets tied to performance, the military, and your body—then injury and life blow it all up. We walk through his journey from a not-so-athletic kid in Florida, to Navy aviation ordnanceman, to dealing with depression, suicidal thoughts, and a brutal back injury that left him unable to walk without help. We talk about how structure disappears when you leave the military, why numbing out never fixes the problem, and how community (shout out to Good Vibes Run Club) can be the bridge back to yourself.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why losing structure after the military can wreck your routines and mental health
How injury, weight gain, and a breakup pushed Jordan to the edge—and what pulled him back
How depression can feel day-to-day, and why “just tough it out” doesn’t work
How movement, therapy skills, and community helped him rebuild confidence
Simple mindset shifts to keep training when life doesn’t look like Instagram

In this episode of the Blue Chip Athletic Club Podcast, we break down how to keep training when injury punches you in the mouth—using a rib/intercostal scare, a late-night ER trip, and a forced pause from basketball as the real-life example. You’ll learn how to adjust your workouts around pain, what movements to skip, and how to use walking, sled work, and low-impact conditioning to keep making progress instead of slamming the brakes.
