Welcome to the Rising Tribes Podcast — where raw conversations meet real growth.

Hosted by two former professional athletes turned husbands, fathers, and high-performance leaders, this is the podcast for people who look like they’ve got it all together… but still carry the silent weight of pressure, expectation, and self-doubt.

We talk about what most people only think about — the stuff that lives in your chest and keeps you up at night. From marriage and parenting to sex, business, faith, fitness, money, mental health, and the quiet battle of “am I enough?” — nothing is off-limits here.

Alongside our wives and powerful guests, we’re building a tribe of everyday warriors who are deeply rooted in character and relentlessly rising in every area of life.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not self-help fluff.
It’s honest, bold, unfiltered conversation — with people who get it.

Because the strongest tribes don’t fake it. They rise together.

    Ep. 62: You Already Know What To Do So Start Doing It

    We dig into why most people already know the right move but still don’t take it, especially with fitness, nutrition, and life goals. We break down the stories we tell ourselves, why comfort keeps winning, and how to build the mindset and systems that finally create action.
    • why “I don’t know what to do” often means “I don’t want to”
    • trading long-term goals for short-term comfort and dopamine
    • using minimum effective dose without turning it into an excuse
    • wanting change while refusing to leave the box
    • stopping the endless nuance debates and choosing obvious wins
    • identity-based decisions and rewiring self-talk
    • imposter syndrome, self-judgment, and fear of being seen
    • taking action at work and in life instead of staying silent
    • consistency, realistic timelines, and why people quit early
    • environment, friend groups, and why change may require distance
    • routines, systems, and finding the right “who” to guide you
    • the “you could, but you didn’t” lesson and choosing happiness as a habit

    EP. 61: What If Your Kids Copied Your Marriage??

    We ask a simple question with a heavy answer: would we be happy if our kids grew up and had our marriage. We talk about the standards we set at home, how we handle conflict, and how to drop the scorecard so our kids see teamwork instead of resentment.
    •Our marriage as our kids’ first definition of love
    •Date nights and daddy daughter dates as visible standards
    •Respectful conflict and the way we talk behind closed doors
    •What we learned from our parents’ marriages and divorces
    •How couples change each other through growth, faith, and honest feedback
    •Why keeping score wrecks connection and “babysitting” is the wrong frame
    •How speaking well of our spouse shapes culture at home

    The Endurance Boom

    Endurance sports keep growing even as life gets easier, and we dig into why people are choosing hard challenges on purpose. We connect CrossFit, Hyrox, running, and real life loss to a bigger point: the win is control, community, and who we become while training.
    • the rise of endurance training in a comfort engineered world
    • how CrossFit culture shifted from avoiding running to embracing it
    • why Hyrox feels easier to train for because it never changes
    • how predictable events pull in people who hate surprises
    • community as a major force behind endurance sports
    • endurance as a controllable battle when life feels chaotic
    • the identity hit of sports ending abruptly and the search for a new outlet
    • how marathon training changes what we believe is possible
    • starting small with walking, rucking, and mailbox runs
    • why the process matters more than the finish line
