Our Findings Show

Can success come from quitting the track altogether? In this episode, we sit down with Brad Kearns – former elite triathlete, bestselling author, and performance expert – to explore what it really takes to build a fulfilling life and career.

From quitting his accounting job just 11 weeks in to competing at the highest level of endurance sports, Brad shares powerful reflections on:

• Breaking free from parental and societal pressures

• Why "staying on track" might be the wrong goal entirely

• Building a healthy, high-energy lifestyle that supports long-term success

• What young professionals should actually prioritize in their 20s

We also launch our brand-new segment: "60 Seconds to Truth", where Brad takes the mic to prove or debunk a bold claim about success.

If you're a college student, recent grad, or early-career builder questioning the traditional path to success — this conversation will challenge, inspire, and reframe the way you think about your future.

Two college sophomores. Zero connections. A wild real estate deal gone wrong.

In this episode, we unpack how our friendship began in Taiwan and evolved into launching businesses together — from flipping burgers at Killer Burger and working at Nike, to launching an e-commerce brand and jumping into real estate wholesaling (including a sketchy deal in Scappoose, OR that ended in a dog chase).

We debate whether intangibles like hunger and self-awareness matter more than a résumé, break down each other's strengths and weaknesses, and share raw advice after wrapping up sophomore year at NYU.

This one’s about friendship, risk, failure, growth — and figuring it all out in real time.

Today is a classic episode with just Harrison and I. We reflect on how our podcasting progress has been going, how we've grown in the process, and what we can improve on. We then dive into the newly released "Warfare," which both inspired and shook us to the core. We discuss how the film left its mark on our lives and why it inspired us even more to join the Air Force as commissioned officers.
