The Brad Jensen Show

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

In this episode, Craig and I kick things off with some classic back and forth, including a spirited debate on Christmas music and which songs should probably be banned forever. It's light, it's sarcastic, and it sets the tone fast.

From there, we shift into the world of social media, online comments, and people's deep rooted need to share their opinions whether anyone asked for them or not. We talk about the good, the bad, and the flat out ridiculous when it comes to interacting online and how easy it is for negativity to creep in if you're not intentional.

The core of the episode dives into relationships, boundaries, and the people you choose to keep around you. With the new year approaching, we talk about the importance of auditing your circle, both in real life and online. This isn't about aggressively cutting people out or burning bridges, but learning how to set healthy boundaries and protect your energy.

We share personal stories and perspectives on dealing with negative influences, surrounding yourself with people who elevate you, and being honest about who actually supports your growth versus who drains it. We also talk about how this applies to your social media feeds and why curating what you consume mentally matters just as much as who you spend time with physically.

We wrap things up with a reminder to be intentional as you head into the new year. Your goals, your growth, and your peace are all influenced by who you allow close to you. Choose wisely.

As always, plenty of laughs, real talk, and honest conversation along the way.
