157 - Back From the Break

Getting After It ·

2025/10/03

I just got back from a cruise with my wife Ally, my family, and some friends. In this episode, I talk about what it felt like to rest, unplug, and try to shift out of “grind mode.” I share how tough it was to stay consistent with training and nutrition, and what it taught me about discipline when you're out of routine. But more than anything, this trip reminded me why I started the podcast in the first place. This episode is about the difference between “Get After It” and Getting After It. On...

156 - How to Endure Challenging Times - Ally Rossell

Getting After It ·

2025/09/18

This episode is about what happens when life doesn’t give you a choice. Ally joins me again to talk through how we both deal with hard things—both the ones we choose (like ultra marathons), and the ones we never would (like sickness, infertility, and grief). We share personal stories from our lives—my illness, her father’s cancer, the struggle to start a family—and explore the role that discipline, mindset, faith, and support systems have played in helping us keep going. We talk about the voi...

155 - Why We Do Hard Things (The Benefit of Discomfort)

Getting After It ·

2025/09/16

Why do we do hard things? In this episode, I break down why discomfort matters and what it does for us in everyday life. Hard is relative—what challenges me may not challenge you, but both deserve respect. We’ll explore how hard things build patience, shape confidence, and inspire those around us. I share stories from my own life—battling fatigue, pushing through burnout, qualifying for Boston—and how those experiences prove that adversity is the most honest teacher. You’ll hear about: Why co...

154 - What Past Guests Taught Me About Getting After It

Getting After It ·

2025/09/08

This episode is about three lessons I’ve learned from past guests. The first is resilience. Dave Daly broke his neck and had to relearn how to live. His story reminded me what it really means to keep going, even when life feels impossible. The second is reinvention. My brother Blake lost his business and struggled with who he was. He tried different things until he found roping, and it brought him back to life. His story made me think about the times I’ve had to change who I was too. The thir...

Getting After It ·

2025/09/03

We’ve been taught to believe that discipline means never missing a step, never falling short, never giving ourselves an inch of slack. But the truth is—grace is what makes discipline last. In this episode, I explore why being graceful with yourself isn’t weakness, but strength. Drawing on stories from my own ultra marathon training, lessons from the Stoics, and insights from modern thinkers, I’ll show you how grace allows you to stay consistent when perfection would have broken you. We’ll loo...

152 - Dallin Shurts - The Mindset of An Athlete

Getting After It ·

2025/08/29

In this episode of Getting After It, I sit down with Dallin Shurts—BYU record holder, Team USA discus thrower, and a man who has learned as much from failure as he has from victory. His story isn’t just about breaking records; it’s about breaking limits. From awkward beginnings on the basketball court to standing on international stages in the discus ring, Dallin has forged his path through discipline, simplicity, and the relentless pursuit of small daily wins. We explore the unseen work behi...

151 - The Marathon of Life: Lessons Beyond the Miles

Getting After It ·

2025/08/25

Running is more than exercise, it’s a teacher. In this episode, I explore the lessons running offers far beyond the trail: how it strengthens the body, sharpens the mind, quiets the noise of the modern world, and reveals truths about discipline, resilience, and perspective. I share how running has shaped my everyday life and the way I face challenges. Along the way, we’ll reflect on insights from Stoic philosophers, modern endurance athletes, and thinkers like Chris Williamson, Jocko Willink,...

Getting After It ·

2025/08/18

Change is the only constant, yet it’s often the thing we fight against the most. In this episode, I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned about change through Stoic philosophy, trail running, and some of life’s hardest moments. From Marcus Aurelius’ wisdom on impermanence to personal stories of setbacks, struggles, and unexpected renewal, this is a conversation about what it truly means to embrace change rather than resist it. I share what trail running taught me about slowing down, why f...

Getting After It ·

2025/08/12

This one’s personal. In two months, I’ll toe the line at my next ultra 31 miles through the Canyonlands. I’ve done this before, but this race is different. I’m carrying new lessons, some from the trail and some from the weight room, but most from the setbacks that nearly pulled me out of the game altogether. Injuries have a way of humbling you. They strip away your ego, your timelines, your illusion of control. This year, Ally's knees forced her to slow down—not just her pace, but her entire ...

148 - Why We Wait: How to Beat Procrastination

Getting After It ·

2025/08/08

You know what you need to do. You’ve written it down. You’ve scheduled it. You’ve even told yourself it’s important. But you haven’t done it. In this solo episode, I confront one of the most pervasive enemies of personal growth: procrastination. But not the surface-level kind. This is the deeper form, the kind that masks itself as perfectionism, fear, or even self-doubt. Drawing insights from thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, James Clear, Seneca, and a powerful article by Joseph Foley, we uncove...

2025/08/04

“Getting After It” isn’t just a slogan, it’s how I choose to live. In this episode, I hand over the mic to someone who knows me better than anyone, my wife, Ally. She interviews me about what it really means to get after it, and we dive deep into the journey behind the brand, the podcast, and the mindset. We talk about everything, from the early days of “Fat Brett” and living without structure, to 4:30 AM lifts, long runs, and the quiet discipline it takes to build a life you’re proud o...

Getting After It ·

2025/07/31

What if your weakness wasn’t a flaw—but a space for grace? In this episode, I sit down with B.J. Allen, a business professor at BYU and author of The Compensating Power of Christ, to explore the intersection of faith, psychology, and performance. We dive into everything from confidence in sales to imposter syndrome in life—and how preparation, storytelling, and spiritual awareness shape how we show up in the world. B.J. shares his journey from corporate life to academia, his teaching philosop...

What do you do when everything changes in an instant? In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Bryce Turley, who survived a life-altering fireworks accident that left him with a completely different life than the one he planned. One moment, he was holding a mortar tube on the beach. The next, he was in an ambulance fighting for his life. But this episode isn’t about pain—it’s about perspective. Bryce opens up about relearning how to do everything from opening a door t...

Getting After It ·

2025/07/24

Most people see the moment you win. They don’t see what it cost. In this conversation, I sit down with Ashton Lunt—national champion in javelin, former BYU athlete, and someone who knows what it means to suffer for a dream. We talk about what it really takes to become elite. From early mornings feeding pigs before lifting sessions, to throwing a javelin with a torn rotator cuff, Ashton’s journey isn’t one of overnight success—it’s a decade-long lesson in consistency, grit, and refusing to qui...

143 - The War You Fight Alone and How to Win

Getting After It ·

2025/07/21

There’s a war happening inside each of us — and most of the time, no one else sees it. In this solo episode, I open up about the unseen battles that shape who we become. From personal stories of depression, self-doubt, and infertility to practical tools rooted in Stoic philosophy and faith, this episode is a deeply honest reflection on what it means to keep going when no one’s watching, and no one’s cheering. I explore how the hardest fights are often silent. There’s no crowd. No validation. ...

142 - Time Is Finite. Are You Spending It Well?

Getting After It ·

2025/07/14

We’re all running out of time. That’s not a dramatic opener—it’s just the truth. This episode is a solo reflection on something that’s been weighing on me lately: presence, purpose, and the short window we’re all given to do something that matters. While on vacation, I read Whale Fall, a story about a man swallowed by a whale who finds clarity about his broken relationship with his father—just a little too late. It hit home, because isn’t that how so many of us live? Waiting. Delaying. Postpo...

In this episode, I sat down with someone very special to me — my niece Lily — for a conversation that honestly felt like talking to a younger version of myself. We talked about what it means to grow up in today’s world — the pressures of high school, the weight of comparison, and the internal dialogue we all wrestle with. But what made this episode powerful wasn’t just her honesty, it was her wisdom. At 17, Lily speaks with a level of self-awareness and emotional intelligence most people neve...

I had the chance to sit down with Courtney—the voice behind the phrase “I’m fat and I’m working on it”—and what followed was one of the most real, raw, and human conversations I’ve ever had on this podcast. She didn’t set out to go viral. She set out to change her life. In this episode, Courtney shares how one painful moment at the gym sparked a global response—and what it taught her about shame, resilience, and the power of vulnerability. We talk about the anxiety of being a beginner, the to...

What happens when an ordinary dad decides he’s had enough of mediocrity? In this episode, I sit down with Brayden—a man who turned fear into fuel. From struggling to run a mile at 29 to finishing an Ironman 70.3, Brayden shares the real story behind his transformation. No highlight reels. No filters. Just brutal miles, setbacks, and the refusal to quit. We explore the psychology of endurance sports, the difference between chosen and unchosen suffering, and the harsh truths of self-improvement...
