Episode 146: Nick sits down with his new Media Director over Nick Bare Fitness: Tony Reyes. 
Nick and Tony talk about the brand of Nick Bare Fitness and how getting back to documenting the progress is the best vision for the brand. HOWEVER, the guys ALSO talk about Tony’s experience moving his family across country with a trunk full of breast milk, the differences between Californian culture and Texan culture, Nick’s experience with masking tape, Aaron, the Production Manager, sipping Endopump for fun, and Nick exposes his all-serious desire to be a red blooded country singer.
These are only a few of the wild topics that are covered in this week’s episode of the Bare Performance Podcast.

In this week's episode, I welcome a guest: my good friend and world-renowned chef, Dan Churchill. As the executive chef at The Osprey in Brooklyn, Dan has gained insight and experience at not only curating incredible dining experiences but also creating dishes that fuel and serve your body well. There's a lot to consider when we think about our eating habits - how they affect our performance, our gut health, and even the effect that stress levels have on our metabolism. Dan is a fantastic resource on this topic, and this conversation is hugely insightful on eating for performance.

Today's episode is all about losing fat and getting shredded. It is crucial to understand that the goal should not be merely about losing weight but about losing body fat.

065: How To Lose Body Fat And Get Shredded

Today's episode marks the end of my filming in Nashville. As my family and I move back to Texas, I am looking back at the last eight months and how valuable they have been as a season for me to sharpen my ax. There are hundreds of lessons I've learned in this season, but in this episode, I'm picking the six that have impacted me the most. I am so grateful for my time in Nashville because, with it, I am now returning to Texas more energized and full of vision and inspiration, ready to build the next chapter of BPN.

064: The Lessons I Learned in Nashville | A Founder’s Journey

In this week’s episode, I am breaking down the nutrition you need to lift heavy and run far. We are constantly inundated with information on social media and the internet about new studies and diets, and it’s easy to be pulled into a particular way of thinking without being diligent in doing the research ourselves. The methods are many, but the concepts are few. The perfect diet is the one you can adhere to. I will be taking you on a deep dive into what I consume as a hybrid athlete and how it works to fuel my performance. Enjoy!

063: The Fuel Guide to Lift Heavy and Run Far

In today's episode, I share my experience of The Speed Project, one of the toughest, grittiest, and most disruptive races. We gathered six runners who had never worked together before to participate in an unsupported 300-mile relay race through some of the most unforgiving terrains in the country. The course was full of inclines and declines, with thousands of feet of elevation gain and loss through mountains and deserts, and we had to plot our own route with precision and speed. This was an unparalleled experience for me, and I can't wait to share some of the stories that came out of it with you all. Enjoy!
