The Brad Jensen Show

This month's Q and A episode is one of those conversations that went everywhere it needed to go.

Craig Smith and I sat down and answered real questions from real people. Just honest perspectives from years in the trenches coaching humans through health, fitness, mindset, and life.

We covered things like how to actually find a good personal trainer and what red flags to watch for before you waste your time or money.

We had a real conversation around sobriety versus recovery and why those two things are not the same even though people use them interchangeably. This one always opens up some nuance and perspective.

We dug into why so many people sabotage their fat loss even when they know exactly what to do. Not from a willpower angle, but from an identity, comfort, and self protection standpoint.

We also talked about how to influence your kids to eat better and slower without creating anxiety, pressure, or a weird relationship with food that follows them into adulthood.

And of course, we answered a few other questions that always seem simple on the surface but go a lot deeper once you actually unpack them.

If you're a parent, someone working on your own health, or someone who wants to understand why change can feel so hard even when the path is clear, this episode will land.

Listen in and let us know which part hit home for you.

On today's solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I brought back one of my old and most requested segments

10 Minutes of Fire.

This is a short, raw, and unapologetically real message meant to light a fire under you and get you moving in the right direction.

I dive deep into radical accountability.

The uncomfortable truth that no one is coming to save you.

No one is showing up to fix your health, your mindset, your finances, or your life.

And while that can feel heavy at first, it's actually the most empowering realization you can have.

Because the moment you take extreme ownership over your actions, your habits, your decisions, and your standards you put yourself back in the driver's seat.

This episode is about dropping excuses, calling yourself forward, and realizing that winning the game of life starts with ownership.

If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated, or waiting for motivation to magically appear, this episode is for you.

Turn it up and Get uncomfortable.

And take responsibility for the life you say you want.

In this episode, Craig and I introduce a new rapid fire segment where we put a licensed therapist in the hot seat.

No long explanations. No therapy jargon. Just quick, honest takes on mental health, emotions, relationships, masculinity, and the chaos of modern culture.

We touch on common therapy myths, social media psychology, emotional regulation, boundaries, and where personal responsibility actually fits into the healing conversation.

There's humor, some uncomfortable truths, and a few moments that might challenge how you think about "healing."

This segment is fast paced, unfiltered, and meant to separate real growth from excuses.

If you've ever wondered whether you're actually doing the work or just labeling everything, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down to talk about the top five things you absolutely need to avoid this January if you want 2026 to be the year you finally get your health and fitness dialed in.

Not another list of hacks. Not another 30 day reset. Not another motivation speech that fades by February.

We break down five very clear and distinct mistakes we see people make every single year that quietly sabotage their progress before it ever really starts. These are the traps that look productive on the surface but end up keeping people stuck in the same cycle year after year.

If you're tired of starting strong and falling off.

If you want results that actually last past January.

If you're ready to stop repeating the same patterns and finally play the long game.

This is a must listen.

Hit play, listen all the way through, and be honest with yourself about which one you've been guilty of before.

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with one of my best friends and one of the top life coaches in the country, Grant Dziak.

Grant is a life optimization coach who helps people break through self limiting beliefs and finally start believing in themselves again. This wasn't a surface level conversation. We went deep into why so many people wait until their life is on fire before they finally decide to change, and how to take action before things completely fall apart.

We also got into the whole ice bath conversation. Why ice plunges have become so polarizing, why so many people talk shit on them now, and Grant's real world experience doing one almost every single day for the past four years. No hype. No dogma. Just honest perspective on what it's done for him mentally, emotionally, and physically and what he says to the critics.

We wrapped things up touching on masculine and feminine energy, personal responsibility, and what it actually looks like to live an optimized life instead of just talking about it online.

This episode is honest, grounded, and very real. If you're feeling stuck, unmotivated, or waiting for a wake up call you don't actually need, this one will hit home
