What if one of the biggest lessons about confidence came from a Nickelodeon sitcom? In this episode, I dive into one of my favorite episodes from Victorious—the Bird Scene—and why I think it teaches an incredibly important lesson about creativity, self-worth, and the need for approval. We all want encouragement and support, but what happens when our happiness, confidence, or willingness to create depends entirely on someone else's opinion? From my own journey as a content creator trying to balance authenticity with the realities of social media, to experiences as an athlete seeking approval from teammates and coaches, to another powerful example from iCarly, we'll explore why the best work often comes when we stop chasing validation and start trusting ourselves. Sometimes your greatest Bird Scene is the moment you finally stop asking for permission to be yourself.

In this edition of Rabbit Hole Roundup, I'm giving you my unpopular take after finally watching the entire Fast & Furious series... I honestly don't think there's a bad movie in the franchise! From the original movies to Tokyo Drift, Hobbs & Shaw, and everything that came after, I think you have to judge each movie on its own merit. Sticking with Fast & Furious, I'm also counting down my favorite songs from the series. From Ooh Ahh to Danza Kuduro, these movies gave us some SERIOUS bangers! Then I react to some advice from T-Pain about encouraging people even when you don't necessarily believe they're good enough yet—and explain why I completely agree. Sometimes one like, comment, or bit of encouragement can help someone believe in themselves! After that, I talk about the viral Higher Up Wellness clip about shaming people into getting in shape and why I strongly disagree with that approach. I don't believe you can hate yourself into loving yourself, and I think real change often starts with understanding someone's story, and addressing the root of the problem. And of course, we finish things off with the sports recap! We're talking football season getting started, and plenty of baseball—including the Yankees getting Aaron Judge back! We also talk PCA, Rafael Devers, Cal Raleigh, Max Scherzer, Chris Sale, and more.

In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest misconceptions I had after reading “The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. I thought mindfulness meant I could control every thought, eliminate anxiety, and always be happy. I quickly learned that wasn't the case. I discuss why you're not your thoughts, why I don't believe happiness is simply a choice, how our physical and mental health work together, and why separating your self-worth from your performance can completely change your mindset. This isn't about pretending life is always positive—it's about learning how to respond to life's challenges with greater awareness, resilience, and peace.

Was Dunkman the greatest dunk contest ever?! I'm breaking down the absolutely INSANE finals from last Tuesday, including some of the most creative and athletic dunks I've ever seen—and why these guys inspire my own dunk journey! Then we're talking Toy Story 5 and why, despite a little possible recency bias, this might actually be my favorite Toy Story movie yet. We'll get into the emotional moments, the message about toys vs. technology, and why I think technology doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing thing. Plus, a powerful reminder after a Pilates teacher had nobody show up to her class, why chasing big sports dreams is ALWAYS worth it from Mano Watsa, and free ways to have more fun from Scotty Gange! And of course a packed sports recap featuring the Yankees, Chris Sale, and Max Scherzer returning to vintage form, the Cubs red hot bats. We also talk Aaron Donald, OBJ, Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga and more!

Advice is everywhere. From parents and teachers to coaches, social media, and motivational speakers, everyone has an opinion on how you should live your life. But not all advice deserves to be followed. Some advice works great for certain people, but other phrases get repeated and we don't understand why. In today's episode, I break down some of the best and worst advice I've received over the years—from clichés that I believe do more harm than good to lessons that have completely changed the way I approach life. Along the way, I share personal stories about my health journey, basketball, friendships, fear, and the mindset that's helped me navigate life's biggest challenges. Remember: just because advice is popular doesn't mean it's right for you.

In my new Rabbit Hole Roundup first up, I came up with one of my favorite lists yet: 5 songs I'm “not” embarrassed to know every word of. As someone who spent years as both a camper and camp counselor, I've been exposed to plenty of songs that somehow became permanently ingrained in my brain. Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift etc.…let's just say there are some songs I know WAY too well. And don't lie—you probably know these words too! Then I'm talking about one of my all-time favorite and criminally underrated movies: Be Cool. It has an absolutely amazing cast, music, comedy, drama, early-2000s humor, and some unforgettable characters. After that, we get into a great conversation about certainty, open-mindedness and the importance of embracing nuance. In a world where everyone seems to have an absolute answer for everything, sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is admit that we don't know. Then I share a powerful message about the words we use toward ourselves and others, especially as athletes. Being motivated to prove people wrong can be powerful—but ultimately, the person you need to prove yourself to is YOU. And finally, we dive into this week's sports recap including: Dunkman Finals predictions The incredible Big3 Finals between the Boston Ball Hogs and Dallas Power Jeremy Pargo's unbelievable championship performance, Summer of Pargo complete Phillies heating up, Fernando Tatis Jr. going on an absolute tear, And plenty more MLB storylines ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

I turned 30 on August 17th!!? And honestly… it's a little scary and a little exciting at the same time. It feels crazy even saying it. There was a time when I almost didn't make it past 18 after going through the acute phase of my life-threatening illness. Now, all these years later, I'm entering a new decade with big dreams, big goals, and plenty still left to accomplish. In this video, I reflect on the biggest lessons my 20s taught me—from staying true to myself and embracing an unconventional path, to learning not to compare my timeline to everyone else's, being patient with finding love and life, but also loving myself and my life fully where I am right now, and realizing that I don't have to rush just because society says I should. I also talk about why turning 30 feels scary, why age really is just a number, and why I refuse to stop playing sports, being creative, dreaming big, or doing the things that make me happy. And of course, since this is my 30th birthday, we have the yearly birthday flex and a look back at some of my biggest accomplishments from my 20s—everything I've continued to build while healing. I'm far from finished. And I'm just getting started. Also a huge thank you to all the birthday wishes from this week! Know that I don't take any of it for granted!
