In Episode 60 of The Grizzly Life Podcast, Colton welcomes back returning guest Holden Smith for his second check-in. 

Back in Episode 54, Holden shared his bold goal of losing 130 pounds by May. 

Now, he’s back with a full update on where the scale is today, what daily changes have stuck, and the adjustments he’s made along the way.

Holden talks through the habits that are working, the struggles that caught him by surprise, and the mindset shifts that keep him moving forward. From nutrition tweaks to his step routine to how his everyday life looks different now, this episode gives you a real, unfiltered look at what sustainable progress actually feels like in the middle of a big transformation.

If you’ve ever set a massive health goal—or you’re in the thick of chasing one right now—Holden’s honesty and persistence will give you the encouragement to keep pushing and keep showing up.

In this episode, Colton shares the biggest takeaways from his recent trips to Nashville and Orlando. At the Nashville gym summit, he dives into conversations around taxes, building stronger communities, and expanding gym services with offerings like stretch therapy and nutrition coaching. From the Orlando summit, he unpacks Patrick Bet-David’s Your Next 5 Moves, highlighting the importance of always thinking several steps ahead. Colton also speaks deeper into the concept of the shoshin mentality —approaching life with a beginner’s mindset—and explains how vision boards can serve as a practical tool to bridge the gap between where you are today and the future self you’re working toward.

In Episode 58 of The Grizzly Life Podcast, Colton is joined by Kyle for a deep dive into the state of the fitness industry and the mindset needed to thrive in it. The two talk through the slower months at Priority Fitness and how the current economy may be playing a role, as well as how much the fitness industry has exploded in the last five years. They discuss trends like the decline of ellipticals, the changing value of used equipment compared to eight years ago, and whether rare pieces should be sold or held onto for the future. To close it out, Colton and Kyle slightly touch on the Shoshin mentality—the importance of approaching life and business with a “day one” mindset, staying hungry, and always finding ways to grow.

In Episode 57 of The Grizzly Life Podcast, Colton checks in with a mix of exciting updates and one key learning takeaway for you to apply right now. He starts by sharing details on the conferences he’ll be attending soon. He also talks about an upcoming podcast appearance where he’ll be a guest.

Colton gives an update on Holden, a recent guest who set a massive health goal, and lets you know when you can expect him back on the podcast to share his progress. From there, the episode shifts into a deep dive into Colton’s current read, 10x is Easier than 2x. He breaks down how the book’s philosophy connects to the 1% better mentality the podcast is built on, and why thinking bigger and focusing on what truly moves the needle can actually make life simpler, not harder.

Episode 56 of The Grizzly Life Podcast dives into two big topics: real estate and personal finance. Colton shares his personal experiences with renting versus owning commercial properties—the headaches, the benefits, and the lessons learned from tough landlord situations. He explains why ownership, despite the challenges, often creates more long-term freedom and stability.

From there, the conversation shifts to money management. Colton breaks down why traditional savings accounts don’t work anymore, how to set up a “sweep account” strategy, and why high-yield savings accounts are a smarter option for growing your money safely. He also touches on money markets, tax considerations, and simple tips to make your cash work harder for you.

This episode is packed with practical advice for entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone looking to improve their financial foundation.

In this episode, Colton takes you through a mix of personal updates, business insights, and health strategies. He kicks things off by revisiting the purpose of the show—helping “wanderers” find direction in fitness, business, and life—and shares updates on Priority Fitness, and the used gym equipment market.

From there, Colton dives deep into fitness tracking, breaking down how to improve your “Whoop age” through sleep consistency, heart rate zones, daily steps, and strength training. With practical advice and personal examples, this episode shows how small, consistent habits can make your biological age younger—and your life better.

In this episode, Colton sits down with special guest Holden Smith, who’s in the middle of a major life change.

With a goal of losing 130 pounds by May next year, he opens up about where he’s at today, why he made this decision, and what’s driving him forward.

This is just the beginning of Holden’s journey—and he’ll be making recurring appearances on the podcast to share updates on his progress.

In Episode 53, Colton takes a step back to talk about who The Grizzly Life Podcast is really for — and why it exists in the first place. He breaks down the type of person who will get the most out of it, and how self-reflection, constant learning, and understanding yourself are key to real growth.

Colton also dives into a few powerful quotes, like:

“You can have anything you want, just not everything.”

“To change something, you must first understand it.”

To wrap it up, he shares some thoughts on possible new services coming in the future that could add even more value to the Grizzly community.

In this episode, Colton is joined by special guest Brandon Peters to share his powerful story of transformation. Brandon opens up about his journey—starting at 383 pounds, battling unhealthy habits, and making the decision to completely change his life.

From quitting alcohol to cutting ties with people who weren’t truly in his corner, Brandon’s path hasn’t been easy, but his discipline and commitment to growth have reshaped his health, mindset, and future.

This conversation dives deep into what it really takes to turn your life around, build lasting habits, and rise above the challenges that hold you back.
