EP. 153 | Sydney Milani | What If You Do Everything Right and Still Fall Short? Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you do everything right and life still says no?
You train. You sacrifice. You stay disciplined. You pray. You keep showing up when nobody is watching.
And you still don’t get the outcome you wanted.
In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Sydney Milani, former University of Alabama track athlete, Team USA bobsled pilot, performance coach, and founder of Peerless.
Sydney spent years chasing an Olympic dream. The work was done. The sacrifices were made. But the dream didn’t unfold the way she imagined.
And that’s where this conversation really begins.
Because this isn’t just about bobsled.
It’s about identity when the title gets taken away. Faith when the answer is no. The difference between discipline and obsession. Learning how to lose without becoming lost. And finding the courage to keep moving when life hands you a different map.
We spend so much of our lives believing the outcome will validate the work.
Maybe it doesn’t have to.
Maybe some dreams aren’t only there to be achieved.
Maybe they’re there to forge us.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• You are more than what you’ve done. Accomplishments can be part of your story without becoming your identity.
• The work doesn’t guarantee the result. You can prepare, sacrifice, pray, and give everything you have. Life still gets a vote. The work wasn’t wasted.
• Greatness is usually boring. The podium is built on ordinary days nobody sees.
• Every dream has an invoice. Time. Money. Relationships. Comfort. Energy. Attention. Decide what you’re willing to pay.
• Failure is an event, not an identity. There’s a massive difference between “I failed” and “I am a failure.”
• Faith gets tested when the answer is no. Trust means something different when you can’t see where the road is taking you.
• Discipline should give you more life. Fitness is the vessel. The goal is to use it to play bigger in the world.
• Confidence leaves receipts. It’s built by doing difficult things and keeping promises to yourself.
• Sometimes losing the plan reveals the purpose. The chapter you never wanted may introduce you to the work you were meant to do.
• The pursuit changes you. The medal matters. The dream matters. But so does the person forged while chasing it.
NUGGETS
“Greatness is usually boring before it’s impressive.”
“Everybody wants the dream until they see the invoice.”
“The work wasn’t wasted just because the outcome changed.”
“Falling short doesn’t erase the person you became chasing it.”
“Faith gets interesting when the answer is no.”
“Confidence leaves receipts.”
“Sometimes losing the plan is how you find the purpose.”
“Most people don’t need another hack. They need a longer relationship with the basics.”
“Success is cool. Building a life you actually want to wake up to is better.”
TIMESTAMPS
00:00 — What if you do everything right and still fall short?
08:00 — Competition and learning how to lose
20:00 — Talent vs. work ethic

EP. 152 | Mike Gonzalez | What Getting Punched Teaches You About Life Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

At some point, life hits everybody.

The relationship ends. The business struggles. You lose someone you love. Your body gets hurt. The plan you were so certain about falls apart.

And for a moment, you’re standing there thinking…

Well, shit. What now?

Maybe that’s one of the reasons boxing is such an interesting metaphor for life.

You can train, prepare, visualize, and make a beautiful plan—but eventually somebody is going to punch you.

And then you get to meet the version of yourself that exists when the plan disappears.

“Under pressure, our habits get exposed.”

“Confidence is a collection of receipts from things you didn’t think you could do.”

“You can’t control every punch coming your way. You can control your response.”

This week, Bryce sits down with boxing coach, strength & conditioning specialist, and mindset coach Mike Gonzalez—aka the Dope Ass Coach—to explore what happens inside the ring and why so many of those lessons seem to follow us outside of it.

They talk fundamentals, fear, confidence, ego, discipline, coaching, strength & conditioning, working with kids, and why intentionally doing difficult things might help prepare us for the difficult things we never asked for.

You don’t have to be a boxer for this one.

You just have to know what it feels like to get hit by life.

🥊 WHAT WE EXPLORE

• Why fundamentals matter even more under pressure

• Confidence built through evidence and experience

• Moving forward while fear is still present

• Why doing hard things can change how we see ourselves

• Confidence vs. ego

• Coaching the human behind the athlete

• Why exhaustion doesn’t always equal effective training

• Strength & conditioning for competitive fighters

• What boxing can teach kids about discipline, respect, and self-belief

• Learning how to fight—and when not to

• Preparing ourselves for the punches we can’t see coming

💭 A FEW THOUGHTS TO SIT WITH

“Everybody eventually gets punched by life.”

“Maybe learning how to fight isn’t really about fighting.”

“Eventually you stop coaching the workout and start coaching the human.”

“Hard things don’t automatically make us better. How we respond to them might.”

Maybe the goal isn’t to avoid getting hit.

Maybe it’s building enough evidence, relationships, skills, and perspective along the way that when life eventually catches us with one we didn’t see coming, we remember:

We’ve been here before.

We can handle hard things.

And we keep moving forward.

A beautiful life starts with a better question.

EP. 151 | Bryce Smith | Why Does Life Feel Better Off the Grid? Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Why does life sometimes feel better when there’s no service?
No notifications. No traffic. No endless scrolling. No climate-controlled room. No food showing up at your door.
Just sunlight. Dirt. Cold water. Movement. Fire. Stars. Good food. Good people. And whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at you.
In this solo episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce reflects on returning from time off the grid and explores a question that kept following him home:
Have we made life so convenient that we’ve forgotten some of what makes us feel alive?
This isn’t an anti-technology episode. And it’s definitely not Bryce telling everyone to sell their shit and move into the woods. 😂
It’s a conversation about contrast.
Cold makes warmth feel better.
Hunger makes food taste better.
Effort makes rest more meaningful.
Darkness makes the stars brighter.
Disconnection can create deeper connection.
And sometimes leaving the comforts of home reminds us how damn fortunate we are to have them.
Bryce explores sunlight and circadian rhythm, grounding, voluntary discomfort, movement, cooking over fire, sleeping outside, bugs, boredom, fireside conversations, sunsets, stars, perspective and the beautifully inconvenient parts of spending time in nature.
Because maybe we don’t always need another hack.
Maybe we need to remember how to be human.
IN THIS EPISODE
🌲 Nature is medicine
Why getting outside can change the way we think, feel and experience our lives.
☀️ Live closer to the sun
Morning light, darkness, circadian rhythm and why some of the simplest health practices are still incredibly powerful.
🥾 Choose hard things
Hiking, carrying your gear, cold water, bad sleep and the confidence that comes from realizing you can handle discomfort.
⚖️ Contrast creates gratitude
Why removing comfort temporarily can make you appreciate your bed, shower, food, relationships and everyday life differently.
🔥 Fire changes conversation
What happens when the phones disappear, nobody is rushing anywhere and people actually sit together and talk.
🌌 Awe changes perspective
Mountains, stars and sunsets don’t necessarily solve your problems. They can remind you how small some of them are.
🦟 The bugs are part of it
Adventure isn’t just beautiful sunsets. It’s dirt, mosquitoes, forgotten gear, weather and inconvenience. That’s part of the deal.
📵 Disconnect to reconnect
What happens when your phone stops working and you finally have enough space to hear yourself think.
🏕️ Come home differently
The point isn’t to escape your life. It’s to return to it with more gratitude, perspective and intention.
QUESTIONS WORTH SITTING WITH
When was the last time you watched a sunrise without checking your phone?
When did you last choose discomfort instead of avoiding it?
When did you last cook something slowly with people you love?
When did you last look at the stars long enough to feel small?
When did you last experience boredom without immediately trying to eliminate it?
And maybe most importantly:
When was the last time you felt completely alive?
QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE
“Comfort is beautiful. Dependence on comfort is dangerous.”
“Participation creates appreciation.”
“The stars don’t solve your problems. They remind you of their size.”
“Stop demanding a beautiful life without bugs.”
“Go somewhere your phone doesn’t work and see what starts working inside you.”
“Sometimes you have to leave your comfortable life to remember how beautiful your comfortable life actually is.”
“A beautiful life isn’t a life without discomfort. It’s a life where the discomfort is worth it.”
THE TAKEAWAY
You don’t need to disappear into the mountains for seven days.
Start smaller.
Get outside before you get online.
Walk barefoot.
Watch the sun come up.
Jump into cold water.
Take the longer trail.
Cook dinner outside.
Sit around a fire.
Look at the stars.
Put your phone away when someone you love is talking.
Let yourself be inconvenienced every once in a while.
And when you return home, notice how incredible a hot shower, comfortable bed and stocked refrigerator suddenly feel.
Maybe the goal isn’t to escape modern life.
Maybe it’s to occasionally step outside of it long enough to remember how fortunate we are to be living it.

EP. 150 | Wendy Strgar | Why Are We So Bad at Talking About Sex? Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

Sex is everywhere.

It shapes culture, relationships, health, identity, and how we connect, yet somehow it remains one of the hardest things for us to talk about honestly.

This week on ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love, author, entrepreneur, and longtime advocate for better conversations around sexual health, intimacy, and lasting love.

We explore why sex still carries so much discomfort and shame, what happens to desire in long-term relationships, how our bodies and relationships change with age, the influence of porn and modern culture, women’s sexual health, and why great intimacy might have far less to do with performance than we think.

This isn’t just a conversation about sex.

It’s a conversation about communication, curiosity, vulnerability, health, and learning how to love another human being well.

IN THIS EPISODE

Why we’re still uncomfortable talking about sex

Sexual shame and where it comes from

Why desire changes in long-term relationships

Love vs. attraction

Mismatched libido

Sex, marriage, and parenthood

Porn and modern expectations

Performance vs. genuine intimacy

Women’s sexual health and the vaginal microbiome

Hormones, aging, and changing bodies

Communication and emotional safety

What it takes to sustain love

What it actually means to be a great lover

BIG IDEAS

Sex is everywhere. Honest conversations about it aren’t.

Falling in love happens. Staying connected takes practice.

Great intimacy isn’t simply physical. It’s built through curiosity, communication, safety, and presence.

Your partner isn’t responsible for understanding a part of you that you’ve never taken the time to understand yourself.

Maybe the goal isn’t staying the same together. It’s continuing to discover each other as you both change.

ABOUT WENDY

Wendy Strgar is the founder of Good Clean Love, an intimate wellness company she founded in 2003. She is also the author of Love That Works and Sex That Works and has spent more than two decades exploring the intersection of sexual health, intimacy, relationships, and human connection.

And if you’re watching on YouTube, drop a comment:

Why do you think we’re still so uncomfortable talking about sex?

FINAL THOUGHT

Maybe great relationships aren’t found.

Maybe they’re built through thousands of small moments where we continue choosing curiosity, honesty, vulnerability, and each other.

Keep asking better questions.

EP. 149 | Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum | Have Peptides & Biohacking Gone Too Far? Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

What if the pursuit of optimal health is actually making health more complicated than it needs to be?
Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum is a physician, competitive strength athlete, coach, and co-founder of Barbell Medicine, where he works to bridge the gap between modern medicine, strength training, and evidence-based health.
In this episode, Bryce sits down with Jordan for a wide-ranging conversation about one of the strangest moments in modern wellness.
Peptides. Biohacking. Testosterone. GLP-1s. Protein. Pain. Strength. Recovery. Longevity. Health optimization.
We have more information, testing, supplements, technology, and “hacks” than ever before…but are we actually getting healthier?
Jordan challenges some of the health and fitness beliefs we’ve accepted as fact and explains why evidence matters, why our bodies may be more resilient than we think, and why getting stronger might still be one of the most powerful health interventions available to us.
This isn’t about rejecting innovation.
It’s about learning to separate evidence from enthusiasm.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS
• Not all “peptides” are the same. Some peptide medications have strong evidence behind them, while many compounds promoted by biohacking and longevity clinics have little or no quality human evidence.
• Biological plausibility isn’t the same thing as proof. Something sounding like it should work doesn’t mean we’ve demonstrated that it does.
• More health data doesn’t automatically create better health.
• Strength training remains one of the most accessible and powerful tools we have for improving health, physical capacity, and quality of life.
• Pain doesn’t always mean damage, and treating the human body as fragile can change how people move, train, and see themselves.
• Health shouldn’t become an endless pursuit of optimization.
• Before searching for the next compound, supplement, wearable, or hack, ask whether you’ve mastered the fundamentals.
• Good science requires being willing to change your mind when better evidence arrives.
QUESTIONS WE EXPLORE
Why have peptides exploded in popularity?
Are compounds like BPC-157 being promoted faster than the science supports?
Have longevity clinics blurred the line between medicine and marketing?
When does biohacking become health anxiety?
Are we overtesting hormones and testosterone?
Are GLP-1 medications fundamentally different from the broader peptide craze?
Does pain actually mean your body is damaged?
Do we overcomplicate mobility and recovery?
How important is strength for longevity?
And ultimately…
Have we become so obsessed with optimizing health that we’ve forgotten how to simply be healthy?
QUOTES
“Evidence and enthusiasm are not the same thing.”
“Your body is probably more resilient than you’ve been taught to believe.”
“More information doesn’t always create better decisions.”
“Before you optimize everything, make sure you’ve mastered something.”
“Health should give you more freedom to live, not more things to worry about.”
TIMESTAMPS
00:00 – Welcome to ALLSMITH
00:00 – Meet Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum
00:00 – Medicine meets the barbell
00:00 – Why Jordan questions conventional health advice
00:00 – The explosion of peptides
00:00 – BPC-157 and the evidence problem
00:00 – Peptides vs. proven medications
00:00 – Has biohacking gone too far?
00:00 – Testosterone, hormones & optimization
00:00 – GLP-1s, obesity & modern medicine
00:00 – Protein myths and nutrition
00:00 – Pain doesn’t always mean damage
00:00 – Are our bodies more resilient than we think?
00:00 – Mobility, stretching & recovery
00:00 – Strength training as medicine
00:00 – What actually matters for longevity?
00:00 – Health anxiety and wearable data
00:00 – Evidence vs. wellness marketing
00:00 – The fundamentals we keep ignoring
00:00 – Jordan’s non-negotiables for lifelong health
CONCLUSION
The future of health will undoubtedly bring better technology, medications, diagnostics, and tools.
But new doesn’t automatically mean better.
Jordan’s work is a reminder to stay curious without becoming gullible, to question conventional wisdom without rejecting science, and to demand evidence before allowing hype to dictate how we treat our bodies.
Maybe the ultimate health hack isn’t another injection, supplement, wearable, or protocol.
Maybe it’s building a strong body, thinking critically, staying connected to people you love, and creating a life you’re healthy enough to actually enjoy.

EP. 148 | Andrew Coates | Why Getting Strong Is the Best Investment You’ll Ever Make Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

What if getting stronger has very little to do with how much weight is on the bar and everything to do with how much life you’re capable of living?
In EP. 148, Bryce sits down with coach, writer, speaker, and Lift Free and Diet Hard host Andrew Coates to talk about strength, longevity, coaching, relationships, and playing the long game.
Andrew has spent thousands of hours on the gym floor and has become a trusted voice across the fitness industry. His work has been featured in Men’s Health, T Nation, and other prominent fitness publications and companies, while his writing, podcasting, and education continue to help coaches and everyday people cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters.
This conversation gets back to the fundamentals: build muscle, stay capable, keep learning, and create a body that allows you to say YES to life for as long as possible.
Fitness is the vessel. Life is the destination.
What We Explore
Why strength may be your greatest investment
Muscle, longevity, and staying capable as we age
Why fitness has become unnecessarily complicated
Consistency vs. intensity
Training for life instead of just aesthetics
What thousands of coaching hours teach you about people
Great coaching vs. great marketing
Social media and misinformation in fitness
Sustainable nutrition without obsession
Why the best coaches stay curious
Building a career around service
Relationships, community, and health
Making fitness support your life instead of becoming your life
Key Takeaways
Strength creates options. The stronger and more capable we remain, the more life we can continue saying yes to.
Muscle is bigger than aesthetics. We’re building resilience, independence, confidence, and longevity.
Simple works. We probably don’t need another hack. We need to consistently execute the fundamentals.
Great coaching is human. Knowledge matters, but listening, empathy, communication, and trust are what allow knowledge to create change.
Fitness should expand your life. The goal isn’t to spend your entire existence inside a gym. It’s to build yourself inside the gym so you can experience more outside of it.
Quotes
“Strength gives you options.”
“Fitness should make your life bigger, not become your entire life.”
“You don’t need the perfect program. You need something you can consistently do.”
“Muscle isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about maintaining your freedom.”
“The best coaches never stop being students.”

What are you getting strong for?
Not what are you training for.
What are you building a strong body to experience, protect, pursue, or become?
Because we’re not getting stronger just to lift more weight.
We’re getting stronger so we can keep playing, exploring, serving, loving, creating, and saying YES to the things that make life worth living.
Fitness is the vessel. Life is the destination.
The best is yet to come.

EP. 147 | Cory Gregory | Why Most People Never Become Who They Could Be Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Most people aren’t lacking potential. They’re lacking enough days where their actions match the person they say they want to become.

On Episode 147 of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with fitness entrepreneur, strength coach, author, and elite powerlifter Cory Gregory for a conversation about discipline, confidence, business, fitness, family, and the daily work required to become who you’re capable of becoming.

From working underground in the coal mines of Ohio to co-founding MusclePharm, building multiple businesses, competing at an elite level, and creating the legendary 4AM Crew, Cory’s story is proof that confidence isn’t something you find. It’s something you earn.

This episode isn’t about waking up at 4AM.

It’s about keeping promises to yourself when nobody is watching.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why most people never reach their potential

• Confidence is built through proof, not positive thinking

• What the coal mines taught Cory about work ethic and perspective

• Lessons from building MusclePharm

• The story and deeper meaning behind the 4AM Crew

• Why consistency will take you further than motivation

• How your environment shapes who you become

• Building businesses and communities that actually last

• Why the fundamentals still win in fitness and life

• How Cory’s approach to training has evolved with age

• Fatherhood, family, and redefining what success means

• Staying hungry after you’ve already accomplished more than you imagined

• Why keeping promises to yourself changes your identity

QUOTES

“Confidence is built through proof.”

“Motivation gets you started. Consistency changes your life.”

“Your environment is either reinforcing who you want to become or pulling you away from it.”

“The promises nobody knows you made might be the most important ones to keep.”

“You don’t become someone different overnight. You prove who you are one day at a time.”

TIMESTAMPS

FINAL THOUGHT

Potential doesn’t change your life.

Proof does.

Every workout. Every uncomfortable decision. Every promise kept. Every day you show up when it would be easier not to.

Eventually those small decisions stop being things you do and start becoming evidence of who you are.

Keep stacking proof.

The best is yet to come.

EP. 146 | Kyle Gonzalez | Why So Many Healthy People Still Feel Unhealthy Jul 29, 2026

Show notes

Why do so many people who eat clean, exercise consistently, prioritize sleep, and invest in their health still wake up feeling exhausted, stressed, disconnected, or unfulfilled?

In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down in person with returning guest Kyle Gonzalez for a thought-provoking conversation about what it actually means to live a healthy life. Kyle is the VP of Performance at COYA, founder of The Vitality System, and author of the new book Move, Thrive, Come Alive. Rather than revisiting his story, Bryce and Kyle dive into the conversations that matter most today—challenging popular beliefs around wellness, longevity, fitness, recovery, stress, and what truly creates vitality.

Kyle also reflects on one of the biggest life changes since his last appearance on ALLSMITH: becoming a father. Together, Bryce and Kyle explore how fatherhood reshapes priorities, changes the definition of success, and influences the way we care for ourselves and the people around us.

This conversation goes beyond workouts and nutrition. It explores why movement remains one of the most powerful forms of medicine, how our environments shape our habits, and why so many people have become overwhelmed by an endless stream of health advice. Bryce and Kyle discuss wearable technology, recovery trends, the business of wellness, preventative health, and why consistency continues to outperform every shortcut.

Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, parent, coach, or simply someone striving for more energy and fulfillment, this episode offers practical wisdom and timeless principles that can help you simplify your approach to health and build a life that feels as good as it looks.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still don’t feel your best, this conversation is for you.

In This Episode

• Why so many healthy people still don’t feel healthy.

• The difference between fitness, wellness, vitality, and longevity.

• How becoming a father transformed Kyle’s perspective on health and purpose.

• Why movement is still the foundation of a healthy life.

• The hidden cost of always trying to optimize yourself.

• The role stress plays in modern disease and burnout.

• Are wearables helping us become healthier—or making us more disconnected?

• The biggest myths and misconceptions in today’s wellness industry.

• Why consistency will always beat motivation and health hacks.

• Building sustainable habits that fit real life.

• What traveling the world taught Kyle about health, culture, community, and happiness.

• Why recovery has become a booming industry—and what actually works.

• The philosophy behind Move, Thrive, Come Alive.

• The mission behind COYA and creating healthier communities.

• The simple habits that create more energy and resilience.

• How to build a lifestyle that supports your health instead of constantly fighting against it.

• Why designing your environment is often more important than relying on willpower.

• The future of preventative health and where the wellness industry is headed.

• What true vitality looks like beyond numbers on a watch or scale.

• Actionable habits you can begin implementing immediately.

EP. 145 | Kaili Hunt | Pipebell Fitness & Why Simplicity Wins in Fitness & Business Jul 17, 2026

Show notes

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, buy more, and complicate more…
What if the real advantage is simplicity?
This week on ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with longtime friend, entrepreneur, inventor, father, and founder of Pipebell Fitness, Kaili Hunt, for a conversation about building products with purpose, creating businesses that solve real problems, and why the greatest innovations make movement more accessible—not more complicated.
From launching Pipebell Fitness to navigating fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and an ever-changing fitness industry, Kaili shares the lessons that shaped his journey and why the best businesses aren’t built around products—they’re built around people.
Together, Bryce and Kaili explore innovation, resilience, leadership, community, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Whether you’re building a business, raising a family, coaching others, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, this conversation offers practical wisdom and timeless perspective.
Because the strongest foundations are often the simplest.
Fitness is the vessel.
Life is the adventure.
