If you were born in America, you were likely taught to do everything on your own.

And financially… it’s not working.

The most successful cultures in the world don’t build in isolation, they build together. Through shared responsibility, collaboration, and short-term sacrifice for long-term gain.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down the bigger purpose behind why my brother and I decided to join forces. It’s not just financially, but spiritually, mentally, and generationally. This decision isn’t about comfort or dependency. It’s about accountability, stewardship, and building something bigger than ourselves.

We talk about:

•Why radical independence often slows progress instead of accelerating it

•What other cultures do differently when it comes to building wealth

•The power of family-based collaboration and shared vision

•How accountability changes habits, discipline, and decision-making

•Why this move impacts future families, not just present circumstances

This episode is for anyone trying to build something meaningful alone…

Anyone feeling financial pressure despite working hard…

And anyone willing to rethink independence in favor of collaboration and legacy.

I’m moving to a new city in five days and for the first time, I’m not nervous about starting over.

That peace didn’t come from the “new city new me” excitement. It came from preparation. From having a plan, clear standards, and systems that allow me to build a meaningful life wherever I land.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I walk through how I’m approaching this move differently than before. I share how I’m thinking about daily rhythms, finding community, choosing the right church and gym, serving others, and intentionally meeting people in a brand-new environment.

We talk about:

•How to establish daily and weekly rhythms that create stability

•What I’m looking for in a home church and why it matters

•How I choose a gym that supports discipline and consistency

•Ways to find purpose through service in a new city

•How to meet people intentionally instead of waiting for comfort

This episode is for anyone preparing to move…

Anyone starting over in a new season of life…

And anyone who wants to approach change with clarity instead of anxiety.

Comment below: What’s one system or habit that helps you feel grounded during big transitions?

Another Valentine’s Day single and for the first time, I’m genuinely at peace with it.

That didn’t come from lowering my standards, distracting myself, or forcing optimism. It came from changing how I approach dating altogether: the boundaries I keep, the expectations I’ve let go of, and the mindset I’ve chosen to anchor myself in.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I share how my perspective on dating has shifted, why striving and forcing relationships never worked for me, and how focusing on who you’re becoming creates far more peace than obsessing over who you’re trying to find.

We talk about:

•The dating boundaries I’m committed to keeping

•Why daytime, intentional dates changed everything

•Removing alcohol, late nights, and unnecessary texting

•Letting go of pressure, timelines, and expectations

•Why peace comes from focusing on your spirit, not your status

•Trusting God’s timing without rushing or settling

This episode is for anyone spending another Valentine’s Day single…

Anyone feeling pressure to “figure it out” by a certain age…

And anyone who wants to approach dating with clarity, confidence, and peace instead of anxiety.

Comment below: Are you at peace with where you are right now — or still feeling rushed?

If January didn’t go the way you planned, you’re right on time.

This is the point in the year where motivation fades, routines start slipping, and a lot of people quietly tell themselves they’ll “restart next week.” You aren’t failing, you’re just learning and haven’t adjusted yet.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I speak directly to where most people find themselves at the start of February and break down what to do next if you want real progress for the rest of the year without burning out or quitting.

We talk about:

•Why February is where most people fall off and how to avoid it

•The mistake of trying to recreate January intensity

•How to adjust your habits instead of starting over

•Why structure matters more than motivation moving forward

•What disciplined consistency actually looks like in this season

This episode is for anyone who started the year strong but feels off track…

Anyone tempted to reset instead of recalibrate…

And anyone who wants sustainable progress, not another short-lived push.

You don’t need more discipline to change your life… you need the right systems.

Most people think consistency comes down to willpower. That if they could just try harder, they’d finally follow through. But discipline without structure eventually breaks, especially when life gets busy, stressful, or uncomfortable.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down the STRONG Method, the exact framework we use inside my Fit in Faith coaching program to help people align their faith, fitness, and daily habits so discipline becomes sustainable instead of exhausting.

We talk about:

•Why motivation and willpower aren’t reliable long-term strategies

•How systems remove friction from obedience and consistency

•What the STRONG Method actually looks like in real life

•How structure supports faith, physical health, and identity change

•Why lasting transformation comes from alignment, not intensity

This episode is for anyone who feels disciplined but still stuck…

Anyone tired of starting strong and falling off…

And anyone who wants to build habits that support the life they’re actually called to live.

Comment below: Do you feel like your challenge is discipline — or the lack of a system?

I’m leaner than I’ve ever been… but something wasn’t adding up.

On the surface, everything looked right. Body fat was low. Strength was solid. The scale was moving. But my recovery data told a different story and ignoring it would’ve been a mistake.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down what happened during this phase of fat loss, why my HRV started trending downward at single-digit body fat, and how I realized the issue wasn’t effort or discipline — it was recovery.

We talk about:

•What HRV actually tells you about recovery and nervous system stress

•Why fat loss becomes a precision game once you’re already lean

•How stacking “good stressors” can quietly backfire

•Why more volume doesn’t mean more progress in a deficit

•The nutrition and training adjustments I’m making moving forward

This episode is for anyone who’s training consistently but feels run down…

Anyone chasing fat loss without wanting to sacrifice long-term health…

And anyone learning that discipline sometimes means pulling back, not pushing harder.

Comment below: Have you ever had a phase where the results looked good — but your body felt off?

Am I growing… or am I just running away?

That’s the question I had to sit with as I reflected on my time in Austin and the decision to leave. Before talking about what’s next, I wanted to be honest about what this city gave me: how it shaped my work ethic, clarified the kind of community I want, and showed me the power of being surrounded by people who take their lives seriously.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I walk through:

•How Austin changed the way I work and think about discipline

•Why coworking and proximity to driven people matters

•The kind of community I realized I’m called to build long-term

•What wholesome, value-aligned living actually looks like

•How to tell the difference between growth and escape

This episode is for anyone who’s felt torn between staying and leaving…

Anyone questioning whether a change is avoidance or obedience…

And anyone trying to move forward with clarity instead of impulse.

Comment below: Have you ever had to ask yourself whether a change was growth — or escape?

I didn’t expect to make this decision and honestly, I put it off longer than I should have.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I share a major life change and walk you through the real reasons behind it. This isn’t about chasing comfort or appearances. It’s about discipline, brotherhood, financial stewardship, and intentionally choosing growth over convenience.

We talk about:

•Why comfort can quietly make you complacent

•The power of brotherhood and accountability

•Choosing long-term vision over short-term ease

•Why getting uncomfortable is sometimes the most mature move

•How faith, discipline, and environment shape who you become

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been playing it safe…

Anyone who knows a change is needed but hasn’t acted yet…

And anyone trying to build a life rooted in purpose.

🎙️ Ep. 30 – God Made It Clear: These Things Can’t Come With Me Into 2026

In this episode of Let’s Parley, I close out 2025 by sharing how God has been leading me into 2026.

This is the most honest I’ve been about what I’m letting go of, how my relationship with the Lord has deepened, and why I’m choosing to approach 2026 differently than I ever have before.

I talk about:

•How I’ve been praying, listening, and staying close to the Lord

•What God has been instructing me to leave behind before 2026

•Why everything starts with the mind

•How reading the Gospel of John and an Advent plan shaped my perspective

•Why I’m shifting away from outcome-based goals

•Choosing to focus on being and serving instead of chasing results

•How I used my 2025 wins and lessons to build my 2026 affirmations

•The exact process I used to turn reflection into non-negotiable habits

If you’re entering a new year feeling called to release old patterns…

If you sense God asking you to move differently…

🎙️ Ep. 29 – What 2025 Exposed About Me That I Didn’t Want to Admit

In this episode of Let’s Parley, I sit down and honestly reflect on 2025 — not just the wins, but the parts of the year that revealed areas of my life I would’ve rather ignored.

This conversation isn’t about hype, resolutions, or pretending everything went perfectly. It’s about taking inventory, acknowledging growth, and owning the lessons God used this year to expose what needed to change.

I talk about:

•The wins from 2025 worth celebrating

•The lessons that came through discomfort and failure

•What this year exposed about my habits, discipline, and faith

•Moments where I resisted growth — and what that taught me

•The difference between reflection and self-criticism

•Why honesty with yourself matters before setting new goals

•How God uses exposure to bring alignment, not shame

•Encouragement for you to reflect on your own year

If 2025 didn’t go the way you expected…

If you’re tempted to rush into new goals without reflecting…

If you know there’s value in slowing down and being honest — this episode is for you.
