In this episode, I sit down with CrossFit competitor Chandler Garlow to talk about what it really takes to build resilience inside and outside the gym. From her early days cheering at ECU to finding CrossFit and stepping onto the competition floor, Chandler shares how athletics shaped her mindset and drive.

We dig deep into the struggles most people never see — her battle with an eating disorder, shifting her mindset to performance, and the back injury that nearly ended her career. Chandler opens up about the mental and physical process of coming back stronger, and what resilience truly means when life knocks you down.

Of course, we wrap up with some rapid-fire questions to get to know her beyond the athlete — from her go-to hype song to advice she'd give younger competitors.

If you’ve ever faced setbacks or doubted your ability to keep going, Chandler’s story will light a fire under you.

On this episode of The Powerhouse Mentality Podcast, I sit down once again with returning guest Jason Pyne for a raw conversation about one of the toughest questions we all face: When is it time to let go, and when is it time to push through?

Jason first joined us to talk about avoiding distractions and overcoming unsupportive voices. Today, he’s back to go deeper—sharing stories from his own journey in fitness, business, and life where he had to decide whether to pivot, persevere, or walk away completely.

We cover:

• The inner debate of “quit vs. keep going” and how fear, ego, and fatigue cloud our judgment
• Real-life examples—from persistence paying off to toxic environments that weren’t worth the fight
• A practical framework for decision-making so you can tell the difference between normal resistance and a red flag
• The “No Más” factor: how to recognize your true breaking point and whether letting go is a power move or a regret waiting to happen
• The danger of chasing novelty when you’ve already built momentum, and why discipline beats dopamine
• How to turn mistakes into feedback and grow stronger from pivots, not ashamed by them

This episode is all about clarity: knowing when to double down and when to cut ties—with integrity, wisdom, and strength.

If you’ve ever wrestled with a decision about whether to keep fighting or finally let go, this conversation will give you the perspective and tools you need to choose the path that aligns with your values and goals.

This episode takes you inside one of the most difficult — and eye-opening — weeks of my life. In just a few days, I went from grieving the loss of my cousin after her 10-month battle with an inoperable brain tumor… to standing at my brother’s wedding. Grief to celebration. Loss to new beginnings. And in the middle of all of it, I was forced to confront some powerful lessons about life, legacy, and how quickly time can slip away.

I break down the raw truths I walked away with: that life is not only short but deeply unfair, that legacy is measured in impact not income, that life doesn’t stop no matter how much we wish it would, and that sometimes the best way to honor someone is to finish the dreams they couldn’t.

If you’ve ever caught yourself wasting energy on the small stuff, or waiting for the “right time” to chase the things you really want, this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode of The Powerhouse Mentality Podcast, I sit down with Brandon Luckett — a man who wears many hats and pursues them all with discipline and grit. Before he is a former CrossFit Games athlete, Brandon is first a father and husband. He’s also a medical physicist, the owner of two physics consulting companies, and the founder of The EMOM Co., a growing community built on consistency, effort, and relentless pursuit of progress.

We dive into what it takes to manage family, business, and performance at the highest level, the lessons he carried from competition into entrepreneurship, and how fatherhood reshaped his perspective on success.

If you’ve ever wondered how to masters ambition with responsibility, or how to take the lessons from the gym into real life, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 8 real mistakes I made as an athlete—things I wish I could go back and do differently, but more importantly, what I’m doing about them now. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in your training, these lessons will save you time, setbacks, and a whole lot of burnout.

We’re talking under-fueling, obsessing over the scale, chasing aesthetics over performance, skipping the basics, ignoring mobility, and more. This is the no-BS version of what I’ve learned the hard way, and I’m sharing it so you don’t have to make the same mistakes.

This episode is raw, real, and personal.

I’m sharing the full story of what happened when an ovarian cyst sent me to the ER twice in 48 hours—and the massive wake-up call it became.
Because here’s the truth: life can change in an instant. One minute I was training hard and crushing my goals. The next, I couldn’t walk, eat, or even think straight from the pain.

We waste so much time saying “I’ll do it tomorrow,” but you might not get that tomorrow.

Whether it’s fueling your body the way it deserves, having the conversation you’ve been avoiding, or finally committing to the version of you that’s been begging to rise—this episode will push you to stop waiting.

You don’t get forever. You get right now. Make it count.
