Rising Tribes Podcast
Welcome to the Rising Tribes Podcast — where raw conversations meet real growth.
Hosted by two former professional athletes turned husbands, fathers, and high-performance leaders, this is the podcast for people who look like they’ve got it all together… but still carry the silent weight of pressure, expectation, and self-doubt.
We talk about what most people only think about — the stuff that lives in your chest and keeps you up at night. From marriage and parenting to sex, business, faith, fitness, money, mental health, and the quiet battle of “am I enough?” — nothing is off-limits here.
Alongside our wives and powerful guests, we’re building a tribe of everyday warriors who are deeply rooted in character and relentlessly rising in every area of life.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not self-help fluff.
It’s honest, bold, unfiltered conversation — with people who get it.
Because the strongest tribes don’t fake it. They rise together.

EP 11: The Hidden Habit That’s Keeping You Average
A guy walks into church and hears, “You made me feel extra fat today.”
What he really meant? “You reminded me of everything I’m not doing.”
In this episode, Nick and Braxton break down the hidden habit that keeps most people stuck—avoiding hard. Whether it’s your fitness, marriage, parenting, or business, this one mindset pattern shows up everywhere.
They unpack:
- Why most people compare instead of improve
- How to reframe discomfort into growth
- The parenting lesson that turned Nick’s daughter into a self-driven athlete
- Why people who “look like they have it together” just do the hard stuff anyway
- And how to audit your life, your circle, and your habits to finally move forward
If you’re tired of saying “one day,” this episode will help you make today day one.
