NOTE: This was recorded 4/9/26 prior to the G.1.M UltraIn this episode, I sit down with BPN athlete Jonny Davies 24 hours before the G1M Ultra to talk about ultra running, confidence, self-respect, and the work behind becoming the person you want to be. Jonny shares how running helped him rebuild his relationship with himself, why confidence is earned through action, and how journaling, training, nutrition, and discipline shaped his G1M prep. We also break down the backyard ultra format, fueling for endurance, the power of community, and why the process matters more than the finish line.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro03:30 Lessons From Last Year’s G1M Ultra07:04 Bad Days Don’t Define The Block12:15 How A Backyard Ultra Works20:56 Life Before Running26:02 Choosing The Hard Thing To Heal28:08 The Full Circle Moment With BPN35:57 Why Ultras Strip You Down39:47 Sharing The Journey With Purpose47:55 Consistency Is The Real Goal01:06:23 Building A Smarter Ultra Prep01:26:51 Redefining Success Before Race DayFOLLOW JONNY:@jonnyrdaviesORDER MY BOOK HERE: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutritionIG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitnessThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.

In this episode, I sit down with BPN Athlete from the land down under Bailey O’Brien to talk about why he quit CrossFit, building a gym, protecting its culture, and making the kind of sacrifices that shape who you become.

I’ve changed the way I think about success. I don’t see it as a finish line anymore, but as a pursuit rooted in purpose, obedience, and who I’m becoming along the way. In this episode, I reflect on failure, legacy, faith, and why chasing money, status, or approval will always leave you empty if the mission behind your work isn’t clear.CHAPTERS:00:00 Why This Matters02:40 Success Is a Pursuit06:28 Stop Being Impressed09:04 Character Over Strategy13:15 Mission Not Milestones17:29 Hard Work Without Hustle22:28 Heath Evans Wake Up Call28:41 Legacy for My Kids32:57 Ecclesiastes Chasing Wind35:33 Rest Without Guilt40:07 Envy Drives the Grind41:28 Final Charge Purposeful WorkORDER MY BOOK HERE: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutritionIG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitnessThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
