Were you a bedroom kid… or a living room kid?Did you grow up tucked away in your own space? Told to go to your room, stay out of the way?

Or were you out in the living room, part of everything, hearing conversations, being in the mix, learning as you went?

We break down how something that simple can shape who you become, your confidence, your imagination, and how you show up in the world today.

We talk about the power of saying “no” and why it feels selfish even when it’s necessary for growth.

We also get into how we’ve lost that childhood imagination over time… and how most of us are walking around disconnected, headphones in, living in our own world instead of the real one.

After a short break, we’re back

In this episode, we recap the 16-hour treadmill challenge and everything that came with it. What started as something tied to turning 32 turned into a real test, mentally more than anything. There’s a point in doing something like this where it stops being physical and turns into a battle with your own thoughts.

Me and Matt talk through what that actually felt like in the middle of it… when time slows down, motivation disappears, and you’re left figuring out why you’re still going.

Because that’s where something changes.

Doing hard things on purpose isn’t about proving anything to anyone else. It’s about building something internally that you can rely on later. And once you go through something like this, you don’t look at challenges the same way again.

🎥 Full treadmill challenge vlog dropping soon.

A Letter From a Friend: How Brutal Honesty With Yourself Can Reshape Your Future | Ep. 37 | The B.A.D. Project👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheB.A.D.Project?sub_confirmation=1
First official 3-man episode with me, Matt, and Ty.

We get into what it actually looks like to try something new when you have no idea what you're doing—and why that might be the best way to start. Being blissfully ignorant can be an advantage if you don’t let expectations ruin it before you even begin.

We also talk about how expectations can quietly turn into negativity, especially when life doesn’t move as fast as you think it should. A lot of guys hit that 28–35 window and realize they need to step up, get their life in order, and take ownership—but nobody really talks about what that transition actually feels like.

This episode really comes down to one thing—being brutally honest with yourself. The kind of honesty a real friend would give you. No slack. No excuses. Just truth—and what you choose to do with it.

In this episode Garrett and Matt talk about the urge to find immediate fixes to the problems in our lives and why sometimes the better approach is simply bandaging things and allowing time to heal while life keeps moving.

We get into how unrealistic it is to pause life and spend months fixing everything, and why building a routine that adjusts with life—cranking up the pressure in slow times and easing up when things get hectic—may be the better path.

We also talk about why motivation can’t be your only tool, because most days it simply isn’t there.

After a two-week break, Garrett and Chris are back behind the microphones. In this episode we talk about the importance of diet, building from the roots, and the idea of “just doing the work.” So often our minds turn simple actions into complicated problems when the real solution is just starting.

Before chasing shortcuts or quick fixes, we talk about why taking care of the foundation—what you eat, how you move, and the small daily choices—sets everything else in motion.

After not recording for a bit, Matt and I sit down with no plan and just talk. We get into fasting and different diets, emotional eating, and how stress, routine, and mindset all play a role in how we treat our bodies. We also touch on guns and Valentine’s Day along the way.

In this episode, we talk about patience, ripple effects, and the quiet responsibility of how you show up when negativity is close. When the environment around you is heavy, reactive, or draining, it’s easy to let it shape your tone, your mood, and your decisions.

In this episode, we talk about how memories come and go, and how the connection to them can return when you’re actively striving forward instead of standing still. We get into what it means to be an “old soul,” how growing up fast and experiencing life early can shape you, and the balance between the strengths it builds and the weight it adds.

We also dive into leadership among friends—what happens when your growth starts to outpace the room, and why holding back your goals to protect others can quietly stall your own progress. Not everyone wants help. Some just want attention, and learning the difference is part of maturing.

This conversation is about growth, responsibility, memory, and the uncomfortable reality that sometimes moving forward means moving ahead—even when others aren’t ready.

In this episode, We break down the idea of black and white advice: yes or no, go or don’t go, start or stop. When we add color—time, emotion, overthinking—we slow ourselves down and make movement harder.We get into how something as small as dropping down and doing five pushups can jumpstart an entirely new routine. Trick your mind. Start tiny. Build momentum.And finally, we talk about stagnation—how “finding” something doesn’t exist without searching. Sitting still and looking for answers doesn’t mean you’re failing. Sometimes it’s part of the process. Searching isn’t a bad thing—it’s how clarity shows up.🧢 Gear Up & Support the MissionThe B.A.D.

Winter isn’t a setback—it’s the training ground.

In this episode, Matt and I talk about how the winter months are naturally designed for us to slow down, reflect, and face the parts of ourselves we usually outrun. We get into how doubt creeps in when success doesn’t happen overnight, when momentum stalls, and when giving things up starts to feel heavier than pushing forward.

This is a conversation about fighting tooth and nail through the quiet seasons—the days where nothing feels flashy, nothing feels rewarding, and your own mind becomes the biggest obstacle.

Progress isn’t always loud. Most of the work happens when no one’s watching.
