The Brad Jensen Show

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with my friend Jack Hollow, a nutrition coach and personal trainer out of the great country of Australia.

Jack and I originally connected on Instagram because we realized we see the world of health and fitness through a very similar lens. No fluff. No extremes. No chasing trends. Just principles that actually work.

This conversation goes way beyond sets, reps, and macros.

We break down some of the most dangerous trends circulating in the fitness industry right now. From extreme dieting approaches to all-or-nothing mindsets, we talk about why so many people are being pulled in the wrong direction and what actually creates sustainable results.

We also dive into something that doesn't get talked about enough: mental health as a coach.

What does it really look like to hold space for clients?

How do you manage your own stress while helping others manage theirs?

Where is the line between coaching, therapy, and responsibility?

Jack shares his perspective from working with clients in Australia, and I share what I've seen building Next Level Nutrition and working with driven dads who are trying to balance performance, family, and identity.

Toward the end, the conversation naturally shifts into something deeper. We talk about growth outside of fitness. Identity. Purpose. Faith. Responsibility. What it actually means to live in alignment. It turned into one of those conversations that reminds you this work is about so much more than body fat percentage.

If you're a coach, a high performer, or someone trying to build a stronger body and a stronger mind at the same time, this one will hit.

In this week's Q&A episode on The Brad Jensen Show, Craig and I sat down and answered some of the most real world questions we see from clients, coaches, and high performers trying to level up across life.

We talked about the hardest part of starting a business and honestly, it usually is not strategy. It is managing uncertainty, self doubt, and staying consistent when results are not immediate. We shared what challenged us the most early on and what we wish we knew sooner.

We also dug into client retention as a personal trainer or coach. I broke down what actually keeps people long term and it is not just workouts or macros. It is connection, trust, and helping people become someone new, not just do something new.

We answered the question of whether lifting six days per week is too much. Like most things in fitness, it depends. We talked about recovery, training intent, life stress, and how to know if you are progressing or just surviving workouts.

Another big topic was how long someone should realistically work with a coach. We talked about when coaching becomes less about information and more about identity, accountability, and long term lifestyle integration.

Craig brought a really powerful lens to the conversation around avoidant tendencies and how they show up everywhere. Not just relationships, but business, health, communication, and even goal setting. We talked about how to recognize those patterns and what to do when you see them.

We also touched on a handful of other training and nutrition questions that came up from listeners and clients this week.

If you are trying to build something, improve your body, or just become more self aware in how you move through life, this episode will hit.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sat down with Joe Sheehey, owner and founder of Cured Nutrition, to talk about something that could massively impact the hemp and wellness space heading into late 2026.

We broke down the new hemp ban set to go into effect in November 2026. This was quietly slipped into the "Big Beautiful Bill" and, if nothing changes, it has the potential to wipe out roughly 95% of the hemp industry as it currently stands. Joe shared what this could mean not only for businesses like his, but for consumers who rely on responsibly dosed hemp derived products for sleep, stress management, and overall wellbeing.

We also had an honest conversation about responsibility inside the industry. Not all companies have operated with integrity. Some pushed extremely high THC doses chasing profit, which ultimately put the entire industry at risk. We contrasted that with companies like Cured, who have always focused on very low, fractional microdose levels of THC paired with high quality CBD to create therapeutic benefit without pushing boundaries that create harm.

Joe shared what listeners can actually do if they care about protecting access to responsibly made hemp products. From staying informed, to contacting legislators, to supporting companies who operate ethically, there are ways for everyday people to make a difference.

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation was hearing Joe talk about what this season has taught him personally. Facing the potential loss of a business he has spent the last decade building has forced him into deeper reflection, deeper faith, and a stronger connection to God. Instead of reacting from fear, he talked about choosing clarity, purpose, and trust in the lessons being revealed through this challenge.

This is a conversation about business, responsibility, resilience, and what it really looks like to stay grounded when everything you've built feels like it's on the line.

If you care about wellness, ethical supplementation, or simply hearing how high level entrepreneurs navigate real adversity, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

In this solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I pull back the curtain and walk you through my personal peptide protocol. This is not medical advice and it is not a recommendation. It is simply my personal experience shared for educational purposes only. I break down exactly what I'm using, why I chose each compound, what I noticed physically and mentally, and how I think about peptides as a long term performance and recovery support tool rather than a shortcut.

We also talk about what to look for when buying peptides, the red flags most people miss, and why so many people run into problems with poor quality sources or unrealistic expectations. If you've ever been curious about peptides, overwhelmed by the noise online, or just wanted a real world perspective without the hype, this episode is for you.

What I Cover

• Why I started using peptides
• How I think about them as a support tool not a shortcut
• What to look for when purchasing peptides
• The importance of purity, sourcing, and realistic expectations
• My exact stack and why each one is included
• The benefits I personally noticed
• Who this is and is not for
• Why education and responsibility matter

Important Disclaimer

This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and nothing shared is medical advice. I am not a doctor and this is not a recommendation for you to use peptides. Always speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting any protocol.

On this solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I go deeper into something that has completely changed how I move through the world. Learning to disconnect from outside noise and focus on what I actually have power over.

We live in a time where we are constantly being pulled into things we cannot control. News cycles, social media outrage, other people's opinions, and problems that are way bigger than any one person. And yet we give them our energy every single day.

In this episode, I talk about the idea of powerlessness and how much freedom comes when you stop fighting what you cannot change.

I share how the Serenity Prayer has had a profound impact on my life and how it continues to guide my decision making, my emotional state, and how I show up as a father, coach, and human.

We talk about why trying to control everything is one of the fastest ways to feel anxious, angry, and burnt out.

And why real peace comes from putting your attention back on the few things that are actually in your control.

Your effort

Your consistency

Your actions

Your behaviors

Your integrity

This episode is an invitation to stop carrying weight that was never yours to hold and to start building your life around what you can influence.

Because when you stop wasting energy on what you cannot change, life starts working with you instead of against you.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected, this one is for you.

Listen in and decide what you are finally ready to release.
