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 19: Social Media - Why Do People’s Opinions Affect Us So Much?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do people feel the need to argue online? Why does harmless content turn into controversy? And why do we keep posting anyway?
In this episode, Nick and Braxton talk honestly about social media, criticism, fake success, consistency, and why the goal was never approval—it was impact. This conversation is for anyone who’s been holding back from sharing their voice, starting something new, or staying consistent because of fear of judgment.
Real growth is messy. Real people aren’t perfect. And real impact often starts with one post.
