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 14: The Simple Shift That Makes Problems Smaller
What happens when everything hits at once—your car dies, your kid needs braces, and life won’t stop stacking problems? Most people panic. Winners prepare.
In this episode of Rising Tribes, Nick Urankar and Braxton Cave break down why “Murphy’s Law” isn’t bad luck—it’s bad preparation. They talk real life: $50,000 in surprise expenses, mindset shifts, and how to stay grounded when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
You’ll learn:
- Why “being prepared” isn’t just about money—it’s about mental reps.
- How fitness, discipline, and mindset overlap when life blindsides you.
- Why most people never surprise themselves (and how to start).
- How to stop living reactive and start leading proactive.
This one will hit you right in the gut. Because the truth is—you’re either preparing… or you’re about to get exposed.
