The Relentless Pursuit Podcast

Lydia Adams | 200 Episodes, Marriage, Parenthood & Building A Life Together Jul 09, 2026

Episode 200 of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast brings thejourney full circle.

Lydia Adams has been part of this podcast from the verybeginning. She first came on to share her story, returned for Episode 100 to reflect on the journey, and now joins Joe again for a raw conversation about nearly four years of building a life, marriage, family, and purpose together.

Joe and Lydia reflect on the seasons that tested them, the sacrifices nobody sees, the pressures of entrepreneurship, financial uncertainty, becoming parents, Lydia’s health and hormone struggles, faith,spiritual differences, and what it takes to continue choosing growth together.

They open up about raising their daughter Ozzy, learningfrom her as much as they teach her, putting their marriage at the foundation of their family, and building a life that looks very different from what they onceimagined.

This is not a conversation about having a perfect marriage or an easy journey.

It is about commitment, faith, sacrifice, resilience,growth, and continuing to move forward together through every season.

After 200 episodes, the relentless pursuit continues.

Chase McDougal | From Skatepark Wars to Dark Horse Clan Jul 02, 2026

What if becoming the man you’re meant to be isn’t about adding more to your life…What if it’s about having the courage to let parts of yourself die?

In this episode of the Relentless Pursuit Podcast, Joe Adams sits down with martial artist, instructor, and Dark Horse Clan founder Chase McDougal for one of the deepest conversations the show has had to date.

From growing up in violent skatepark rivalries that shaped his path into martial arts, to walking away from a fight-first identity, Chase shares how discipline, marriage, spirituality, and brotherhood transformed the way he sees strength.

Together, Joe and Chase explore what it really means to live by an oath, why modern men are starving for authentic community, how martial arts became a vehicle for personal transformation, and why legacy is measured by what continues after you’re gone—not by what you accomplish while you’re here.

Whether you agree with every spiritual belief discussed or not, this conversation is ultimately about responsibility, devotion, identity, sacrifice, and becoming someone worthy of the life you’re trying to build.

In this episode:

• The childhood fight that changed Chase’s life forever

• How martial arts became a path toward discipline instead of violence

• Why “The problem is you.”

• The hidden cost of keeping an oath

• Marriage, loyalty, and killing old versions of yourself

• Building brotherhood instead of chasing status

• Why modern men desperately need real community• The lessons horses taught Chase about leadership

• Paganism, ancestry, runes, and finding a spiritual path

• The philosophy behind Dark Horse Clan

• What legacy really means

• Chase’s relentless pursuit

• Trusting God’s plan when life takes an unexpected turn

From a Broken Knee to the NFL | Miles Burris on Faith, Identity & Purpose Jun 18, 2026

Former Raiders linebacker and actor Miles Burris joins Joe Adams on the Relentless Pursuit Podcast to share his journey from a childhood chickenpox-related knee infection and doctors discouraging football to being drafted by the Raiders in 2012. He discusses his short NFL career cut by chronic knee issues, the identity and depression that followed, and how his wife and faith helped him transition into acting, screenwriting, and ultimately content creation. Burris describes booking early acting roles, facing long droughts and Hollywood pressures, and making a difficult career decision to honor his marriage boundaries, which later led to new opportunities including a film role where his wife could stand in. He explains his daily life, creative process, and message for people in dark seasons: keep moving, new passions can emerge, and maximize what God put in you.

Charles Rucker | I Lost My Identity to Find Myself Jun 12, 2026

Charles Rucker built his identity on football, bodybuilding, sponsorships, and a public brand. Then it all collapsed. A career-ending accident. Stores shuttered. A marriage that left him shrinking himself until he didn't know who he was anymore. So he drove away from everything and spent months alone rebuilding from the ground up.

In this episode, Charles opens up about the moment his nervous system unlocked on a drive to Tampa, how identity loss nearly destroyed him, what it actually means to find peace, and why he's now pouring everything into helping other men do the same through King Circle and his upcoming book Heal Your Reality.

This is a conversation about earning your identity back, not chasing it. About what happens when a man finally stops performing and starts living.

Topics covered:

Rebuilding identity after loss and divorce

Performance identity in sports and business

Why love alone isn't enough to save a marriageShrinking yourself and losing who you are in a relationship

What peace actually feels like and why you'll fight to keep it Men and emotional vulnerability

King Circle men's group and coaching Journaling, video diaries, and practical tools for healing

Faith, boundaries, and letting the wrong people go

Redefining success on your own terms

He Manifested Red Bull at 18. Then His Dad Died. Then He Became a Father. | Jaxson Riddle Jun 04, 2026

Jaxson Riddle wrote it down every single day. I am a Red Bull athlete. At 18 years old it came true. He was one of maybe two or three free-ride athletes in the US to ever wear that helmet. The peak moment of his life.

Two months later his father was gone.

What followed was grief he buried, self-destructive thoughts he nearly did not survive, a woman who showed up at exactly the right moment, two sons pulled into the world with his own hands in his living room, and a 24 year old trying to figure out how to be the father he never fully had.

This conversation goes everywhere. Growing up as an only child with young parents barely holding it together. Dropping out of school at 16 to bet everything on a bike. Sleeping on the floor of a minibus in a Whistler parking lot just to get seen. Manifesting his way to one of the most coveted sponsorships in action sports. Then watching his father have a complete breakdown, hearing voices, driving off a cliff in the desert, and being found face down in 29 degree cold.

Jaxson talks about what Red Bull actually does for its athletes that nobody sees. The fear of dying and leaving his sons fatherless. Two home births including pulling his second son out purple and terrified. What it means to be present as a father when your work never turns off. And what it looks like to find beauty in the worst thing that ever happened to you.

This is one of the most complete human stories we have ever put on this show.

From 1.6 GPA to CEO of 39 Clinics | Josh Hudson on Hormones, Discipline & Legacy May 28, 2026

Josh Hudson grew up in small-town Wisconsin, nearly failed out of college with a 1.6 GPA his first year, and took a $60,000 pay cut to throw $5,000 into a business nobody had heard of yet. Today he is the co-founder and CEO of OptimizeU, a hormone optimization and performance recovery company with 39 locations coast to coast and 150 employees whose families depend on the decisions he makes.

This episode covers the full road. Psychiatric nursing and what three years with true schizophrenia patients taught him about staying calm under pressure. Hospice care and what walking families through death taught him about time. Medical device sales, a racquetball court conversation that changed everything, and the grind of building a clinic from scratch while cleaning the office alone for six months. Josh and Joe go deep on the collapse of testosterone in young men, the danger of self-managed hormone use, what women are being told that is flat out wrong, long COVID's hidden hormonal impact, the 80 versus 95 delegation trap that keeps driven men stuck, the weight of 150 employees, and what it really means to build a life worth protecting.

This one earns it.

What you will hear in this episode:

A 1.6 GPA first year of college, renal failure, and doing his degree completely backwards What psychiatric nursing taught him about tone, calm, and staying grounded under pressure Why hospice care changed the way he sees time, work, and what a good life actually looks like The $5,000 bet, a $60,000 pay cut, and six months of cleaning the clinic alone Why testosterone levels in young men are collapsing and what is driving it The truth about peptides, pro hormones, green testosterone, and what Josh sees walking through his clinic doors every day Why women keep being told their labs are normal when they are not Long COVID and its ongoing hormonal impact most providers are not testing for The 80 versus 95 trap and why letting go is the hardest thing for any builder What creeps up when you have 150 people depending on your next decision What gratitude actually looks like when you have seen both psych wards and hospice units up close Josh's relentless pursuit

Abandoned, Abused, and Out at 16 — How Nick George Broke the Cycle and Built a Life Worth Keeping May 21, 2026

Nick George's life started with the odds stacked against him before he ever had a choice. Born to a teenage mother, abandoned by his father, abused as a child, shuffled through 12 schools, and out of the house at 16 with nowhere to go. He survived on food stamps in a stranger's basement, gave his mom an ultimatum she failed, and made one decision at 18 that changed the entire trajectory of his life: the United States Coast Guard.

What followed was 22 years of service, advancing to Chief Petty Officer in nine years, two divorces, the devastating moment he became the father he never had, and the slow, hard climb back to himself through leadership, coaching, and doing the inner work most people avoid.

Nick is now a professional leadership coach, a husband, and a father of five. He talks openly about battling depression, what it costs to finally choose your values over security, the identity crisis that hits when you leave the military, and why the life he always wanted is the hardest one he has ever had to learn to receive.

Rick Cheatham | Addiction, Losing His Son & A Broken Neck — Finding God Within May 08, 2026

Rick Cheatham has lived through things most men couldn't survive. A sexual addiction that nearly destroyed his marriage. A knock on the door at 4AM telling him his son had been taken from him. And then five months into retirement, he passed out, broke his neck at C4 and C5, and woke up paralyzed from the chest down.

And through all of it, he discovered that the most dangerous thing wasn't any of those events. It was the justified resentment he carried silently every single day.

In this episode, Rick and Joe go deep on what forgiveness actually costs, why suffering is the path not the punishment, how religion weaponized fear to control people, and what happens when a Christian and a pagan sit down and realize they've been experiencing the exact same God through completely different languages.

This is one of the most powerful conversations of this show.

Fatherless to Father of Eight | Green Beret Eric Wehmeyer on Faith, Wounds & Redemption Apr 30, 2026

Green Beret. Father of eight. 21 years married. Eric Wehmeyer's first memory is watching his dad drive away at age five — and everything that followed was a search for what a man is supposed to be. He chased that answer into the Army, then into Special Forces, earning his Green Beret and serving on missions that took him from Afghanistan to Iraq to a dinner table beside the Sultan of Oman.

But the real war was always internal.

In this episode, Eric opens up about growing up fatherless and what that absence actually costs a son, the Army major in a war zone chow hall who told him the Holy Spirit sent him to be his mentor, an addiction that started at age ten and the wife who responded with grace instead of shame, the financial collapse after leaving the military that brought him to his knees, and the faith that rebuilt everything.

Today Eric is a husband of 21 years, a father of eight children, a serial entrepreneur, and a man on mission to help others find what he spent years searching for.

This one goes deep. Don't skip it.

Evan Slaughter on Addiction, Recovery, Comedy & Finding Peace | A Combat Veteran's Journey Apr 22, 2026

On The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, Joe Adams sits down with Evan Slaughter (Fit2Serve), a combat veteran, comedian, content creator, and pickleball enthusiast. Evan shares his powerful storytelling, detailing his journey through addiction and finding healing through comedy and pickleball. This episode is a candid look at overcoming immense challenges and rebuilding a life with purpose.

Evan deployed to Afghanistan, hit an IED, and earned a Purple Heart — then came home to a battle nobody could see. What followed was nearly a decade of opiate addiction, prescription pill abuse, county jail, and failed rehab attempts. His rock bottom looked like an empty house, no furniture, no income, and a deflated air mattress on the floor.

Then one final rehab changed everything. He discovered pickleball, started making comedy videos, and built an audience of millions. Today Evan uses humor as a vehicle for mental health and healing — proving that recovery looks different for everyone.

This conversation covers a chaotic path from high school to the Army, what combat really does to a man when he comes home, what it actually took to get sober after nearly a decade of trying, and how he found purpose on the other side of rock bottom.

If you're struggling, this episode is for you. If you've made it through, this episode will remind you how far you've come.

Lights Cut Off, Baby on the Way and No Plan. How The Kelley's Built a Family Empire Apr 15, 2026

On this episode of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, host Joe Adams sits down with Jay Kelley and Gabby Kelley of The Kelley Family for a raw conversation about mindset shift, personal growth, and building a life from nothing.

At 18 and 21 years old they were sitting in a dark apartment, lights cut off, Gabby pregnant, scraping pennies just to eat. That moment forced a strong mindset and a decision that changed everything.

Jay joined the military to get their family back on their feet. Gabby started posting family content for fun. One viral video hit 15 million views and launched The Kelley Family into a full time career with brand deals from Geico, Disney, and Dr. Pepper.

In this episode Jay and Gabby open up about personal growth through struggle, letting go of toxic friendships, protecting your inner circle, building generational wealth, raising three kids with intention, and how a mindset shift can take you from survival mode to building an empire.

If you are on a journey of self improvement, building something from nothing, or just need motivation to keep going, this episode is for you.

Misty Reinecke | She Was Forged by Fire. Now She Heals the Men No One Else Can Reach. Apr 08, 2026

On the Relentless Pursuit Podcast, host Joe Adams interviews clinical social worker Misty Reinecke, a therapist specializing in brain injury and PTSD with men in high-resistance populations such as veterans, law enforcement, and corrections.

Misty shares her background as an Air Force dependent who moved frequently, describes going off the rails as a teen, becoming pregnant at 15, enduring severe abuse, periods of homelessness, and ultimately rebuilding her life, motherhood, and marriage to her husband Mark.

She discusses how men’s trauma and shame ripple into families, emphasizing balance between masculine and feminine energy, authenticity, consideration, presence, and transparency in relationships.

Misty explains her “Leroy” metaphor—trauma symptoms as an intruder in the home—and introduces her Forge Protector Project to create space for men’s vulnerability, love, and healing.

The Pages Went Empty | Edward Crowe on Paralysis, Purpose & Healing in the Forest Apr 01, 2026

Edward Crowe was 16 years old when he was completely paralyzed. No warning. A rare disease called Guillain-Barré Syndrome attacked his nervous system, collapsed his lung, and left him on life support in the ICU for months. Doctors told him he'd always be weaker than his peers. He decided to prove them wrong.

That experience quietly shaped everything that came after. The graffiti crew. The magic shows. The pivot from aspiring hip hop artist to trusted confidant of one of the most gifted musicians in the game. The 13-hour drive on zero sleep to launch Murder Cigars at a cigar festival in Pennsylvania. And the healing ceremonies he now holds on his land, in the dark, in the woods, where people go in broken and come out reborn.

In this episode, Edward opens up about what it felt like to be trapped inside his own body at 16, the mailman who gave him the will to live, the grandfather who passed him the torch of endurance during their parallel recoveries, losing his mother and being present for every moment of her final passage, and why the last words she ever spoke were "that's good."

He also breaks down the art of the pivot, his brotherhood with Yelawolf, what it means to leave the world better than you found it, and why he goes nine grams deep into the forest with nothing but fire and silence.

Warren Steury | He Was Sent to the Woods at 16… Now He’s Rebuilding Men Mar 25, 2026

In episode 186 of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, host Joe Adams sits down with Warren Steury, founder of Meriwether Academy, to talk about the crisis of young men, modern masculinity, and what it takes to build strength, discipline, and purpose today.

At 16 years old, Warren was sent into the wilderness for nearly three months. No distractions. No escape. No control. Just reality.

That experience shaped everything.

This episode dives into:

• The crisis of young men in today’s world

• Why modern masculinity is being lost

• How raising boys without challenge creates weakness

• The importance of rites of passage for young men

• Discipline, responsibility, and personal development

• And how environment shapes identity

We also break down the mission behind Meriwether Academy, a new model focused on raising boys through:

classical education, wilderness training, and martial arts.

This isn’t theory.

This is lived experience turned into purpose.

If you’re interested in personal development, masculinity, discipline, or raising strong young men, this conversation will challenge how you think.

Will Hardy | Divine Interruptions, Healing & Starting Over Mar 04, 2026

On the Relentless Pursuit Podcast, host Joe Adams interviews Will Hardy, a real estate entrepreneur and film producer who sold his company, moved back to Kentucky, and transformed an abandoned Holiday Inn in Bardstown into The Trail Hotel, a bourbon-centric boutique destination with 95 rooms, multiple bars, a restaurant, and a “bourbon butler” concierge.

Will describes a “dark night of the soul” at age 43 that he calls a “Divine interruption,” leading him into therapy, inner healing, and a more intentional second half of life. He shares childhood influences, performance-driven insecurity, body shame, and intense fasting that preceded back-to-back lung collapses during the 2008 crash, plus rebuilding through roofing sales and scaling a large Atlanta house-flipping business.

He discusses selling everything, relocating his family, and pursuing hope-filled filmmaking, including his upcoming film “Hershey,” and his podcast “Enter Up.”

This episode is for the man carrying pressure in silence… and for anyone who’s been forced to rebuild their life from scratch.

From Ambition Threads to Ambition at Home | Tylor Gentry on Faith, Fatherhood & the Pivot Feb 26, 2026

Episode 182 of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, host Joe Adams sits down returning guest Tylor Gentry for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had.

Tylor opens up about the identity shift that came after closing Ambition Threads, what it really feels like to “quit” something you built your life around, and how the pivot didn’t remove the mission, it just dressed it differently. We talk about what it means to lead as a husband and father, why growth is never comfortable, and how the hardest seasons can still be the most meaningful.

This episode also goes deep into grief and loss. Tylor shares what changed after losing his mom, how it shaped his perspective on life, pressure, and leadership, and why he’s learning to live with both conviction and surrender.

We also get into business, brand, and marketing in today’s world: the tension between staying authentic and “feeding the beast” to earn attention, and how real longevity is built by keeping your flag in the ground no matter what the algorithm does.

If you’re navigating identity, entrepreneurship, fatherhood, faith, grief, or the growing pains of building something that lasts, this one will hit.

Be relentless. And share the show.

Tremayne Townsend | Growing Through It: Letting Go of Old Identity to Become Intentional Feb 19, 2026

On this episode of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, host Joe Adams sits down with Tremayne Townsend for a powerful and honest conversation about growth, identity, sobriety, fatherhood, and what it really means to become intentional.

Tremayne’s story is not just about a DUI or one bad decision. It’s about the moments that force you to wake up. It’s about falling, choosing to stand back up, and deciding to grow through it instead of staying stuck in it.

From walking away from comfort and old identity to confronting fear, ego, and expectation, Tremayne shares what it took to rebuild himself from the inside out. This episode dives into discipline, faith, fatherhood, recovery, and the courage it takes to leave behind who you were in order to become who you’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in an old version of yourself…If you’ve ever known it was time to let something go…If you’re in a season of transition and growth…This conversation is for you.

In this episode, Tremayne opens up about:

• Hitting personal breaking points and choosing change

• Sobriety and what real recovery looks like

• Fatherhood as a catalyst for transformation

• Letting go of old identity and stepping into intentional living

• Discipline, fear, and rebuilding self-respect

• What “growing through it” actually means

Thomas Harris | After The Storm Dec 23, 2025

In Episode 175 of The Relentless Pursuit Podcast, Joe Adamscontinues the conversation with Thomas Harris, moving beyond survival and into what comes after the storm.

In part two, Thomas reflects on the long work of integration —identity after service, navigating mental health, recovery, faith, and the responsibility that comes with self-awareness. Drawing from his military experience, personal healing journey, and current leadership at the Nashville Rescue Mission, Thomas speaks candidly about discipline, emotional regulation, and the dangers of surface-level solutions to deep-rooted pain.

This episode explores what real healing looks like over time — not as a single breakthrough, but as a layered process involving accountability, community, honest conversation, and purpose-driven service.

Thomas and Joe discuss the importance of learning when to pause rather than react, how suffering reshapes perspective, and why growth requires both humility and courage.

Part two completes the arc of Thomas’s story — not by offering easy answers, but by examining the choices required to live well after trauma.

Before becoming a leader for first responders and veterans, Matty lived through a storm of childhood trauma, toxic relationships, addiction, violence, and the kind of self-destruction that nearly cost him his life. He opens up about the moments that broke him, the lies he told himself, the pain he caused, and the internal flames he spent years trying to numb.

This episode goes far beyond addiction.It’s about the truth men avoid, the chaos we create, and the courage it takes to face ourselves.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Matty opens up about:

• Growing up in chaos, abandonment, and abuse

• Finding identity in punk rock, rebellion, and danger

• Becoming a firefighter and “living the dream” on the outside

• How trauma, infidelity, and addiction slowly tore his life apart

• PTSD, nightmares, hypervigilance, and trying to “fake it” on the job

• Losing his marriage, his kids, and nearly his life

• The DUI, assault, and suicidal moment that became a breaking point

• The cops who talked him down — and the woman who saw something in him when he didn’t

This is more than a firefighter story — it’s about addiction, PTS/PTSD, fatherhood, broken identity, and the brutal cost of unresolved pain.

If you’re a first responder, veteran, spouse, or anyone who feels like they’ve gone too far to come back, this episode is for you.

Part 2 drops Sunday, November 23rd — and that’s where the story erupts into the turning point that changed everything.

The RP Pod #86: From Superstar to Quadriplegic - Life is Good w/ Dr.Gerald Christian Mar 31, 2024

HEADS UP - the production of this podcast now lies solely on my shoulders. I recorded this episode at the beginning of the week and taught myself how to edit (the hard way) over the last couple of days. That being said, you may notice some errors throughout this first solo production. Bare with me, I will perfect the process. Thank you. This episode features an old professor of mine and friend, Dr.Gerald Christian. In 2018, I had left his class and almost died in a near-death motorcycle accident. The following semester, I was back in his classroom. Now, things have circled around as we reconnected by finding out we would both be speaking at an event located at Middle TN State University. I was inspired by Dr.G when I took his sports psychology class. I admired his positive mindset and how he maintained so much gratitude given the circumstances he has faced. When things circled back around recently, I wanted to hear his journey. He takes us back to his childhood and time in school as an athletic stud and superstar on his way to play ball at the next level. One evening, the decision he made to drink and drive took a dark turn which resulted in immediate paralyzation. Join us as we catch up, hear his journey and see how this life altering event gave him the opportunity be impact others.
