March 06 E529 - Chase Rice: The Kind of Night Nashville Is Built For - Solo With Chad
Chad just got home from Nashville after a trip with Brittni and a night at Chief’s watching Chase Rice play an intimate set.
It was the kind of night that sticks with you.
Chad talks about Chase, their friendship, and the artists he’s always respected, like Eric Church, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Chris Young, and Garth Brooks. The ones who’ve done things their own way and built real careers.
It starts out as a Nashville recap, but by the end, Chad gets into something a little deeper about business, risk, and building something you believe in.
One of those episodes that kind of sneaks up and stays with you! This episode is proudly presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, and brought to you by GATR coolers and drinkware, The Nashville Palace, Scoreboard Nashville, Mickey Thompson tires and Wheels, Corning Ford, ZLINE Appliances, and Bodyguard Bumpers.

February 27 E528 - Breakin It Down: Cookies to Chaos - That Escalated Quickly
Chad and Alex are back Breakin' It Down.
It starts with Christmas cookies, work ethic, and modern-day eating habits… then somehow turns into a Mexico trip that might not happen, a baseball invite that gets declined, and a whole conversation about what’s really going on out there.
From travel and headlines to healthcare, insurance, and medicine, nothing’s really off limits.

February 13 E527 - Taking Ownership of Your Health with TKO Vitality - Solo with Chad
In this solo episode, Chad opens up about his experience with TKO and hormone optimization.
He walks through why he started looking into peptides and TRT, what he was feeling before, and what’s different now. More energy. Better recovery. Clearer thinking. A renewed drive in the gym and in everyday life.
This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s Chad talking through the process. From the hesitation, the learning curve, and what he’s discovered along the way. He connects it back to discipline, aging with intention, and refusing to accept “just getting older” as an excuse to coast.
If you’ve ever wondered what hormone optimization really looks like from someone living it day to day, this one goes there.

February 05 E526 - How You Come Out of It - Solo with Chad
In this solo episode, Chad talks about positive mentality — not as a buzzword, but as something that’s built through failure, discipline, and learning how to come out the other side of hard moments.
He touches on confidence, wellness, fitness, and the importance of taking care of yourself before you can show up for anyone else. Prayer, perspective, and mindset maturity all come into play, along with reflections on drinking, discipline, and how fast life moves if you’re not intentional.
Chad also shares thoughts on treating people right — across differences, professions, and viewpoints — and gives a heartfelt nod to his friend Les, nearing 85, who continues to be a reminder of how to live with perspective and grace.
A thoughtful episode about growth, self-awareness, and choosing how you show up.

January 29 E525 - Good Food Done Right - Solo with Chad
Chad’s solo on the mic from Banded Drake Ranch, and this one goes straight to something he genuinely loves: Food!
He talks about Bistro Roxy in Reno and why it’s his favorite restaurant. From the drinks and appetizers to the main course, Chad breaks down what keeps him coming back and why attention to detail matters, in the kitchen and everywhere else.
This one's short, focused, and driven by appreciation for doing things the right way.

January 21 E524 - Mediocrity Sucks - Solo with Chad
Chad starts this solo episode talking about a few TV shows, just easing into it. Then a listener question comes in, and the conversation shifts.
From there, Chad goes straight at mediocrity; how it creeps into everyday life, how easy it is to get comfortable, and how small habits and lowered standards quietly shape where you end up. He talks about effort, discipline, and the responsibility we all have to ourselves to do more than just get by.
This one’s awesome, honest, and direct. If you’ve been feeling stuck, coasting, or telling yourself you’ll get serious “later,” this episode might hit harder than you expect.

January 14 E524 - Chad Belding: No Filter, Your Questions Answered
Chad answers listener questions in a solo episode that’s honest and personal. He talks about things nobody warned him about in life, how fast time flies, and why being here at all is something none of us should take for granted.
He touches on what still gets under his skin, his thoughts on voting, and reflects on the moments and people that shaped his path. Chad also takes a proud dad moment to talk about his daughter Alyssa and her drive to become a Division I volleyball athlete.
We know you'll love this one!

January 10 E523 - Lose the Crocs and Get to Work - Solo With Chad
Chad jumps on the mic solo and talks about gratitude, faith, and what it really looks like to put in the work on yourself. Not in theory. In real life.
Take the Crocs and Sweatpants off, and let's get after it.
He gets into showing up when you’re tired, building discipline over motivation, and why growth usually comes from doing the uncomfortable things consistently. It’s an honest perspective, hard-earned lessons, and a reminder that nobody’s coming to do the work for you.

January 01 E522 - The Party Is Now! Breakin' It Down With Chad And Alex
Chad and Alex sit down for a Breakin’ It Down episode that goes a few layers deeper than usual. They start with the idea of living life now. Not waiting, not putting it off, and then unpack what that means.
They get into religion, Christianity, prayer, and how faith fits into real life, especially around the holidays. Alex brings a slightly different perspective, which leads to a good, honest conversation. There's no pretending with these two.
They also touch on Christmas bonuses, Christmas movies, and the way this season tends to bring everything into sharper focus. We know you'll love another thoughtful and hilarious episode with Chad and Alex!

He gets into the Scoreboard, the Nashville Palace, Drake White, and the Benefit for the Brain, and why that event means so much to him. A little travel talk, a little music talk, and some thoughts on why Nashville just feels like home to so many people in this business.
