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 26: Why Hitting Big Goals Doesn’t Always Make You Feel Whole
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you do all the “right” things—hit big goals, stay disciplined, keep showing up—and still feel empty?
In this episode of the Rising Tribes Podcast, Nick and Brax have an honest conversation about success, fear, masculinity, and the pressure we put on ourselves to always be “winning.”
They talk about:
- Why reaching a goal doesn’t always bring fulfillment
- The difference between quitting and pivoting
- What fear is really trying to tell you
- How comparison quietly robs your confidence
- What being a strong man actually looks like in 2026
This isn’t a hype episode.
It’s a real one.
If you’ve ever felt like you should be happier than you are…
If you’ve ever wondered why success didn’t feel how you thought it would…
Or if you’re standing at the edge of something scary and don’t know why you can’t move—
This conversation is for you.
After listening, we hope you don’t just move on with your day.
We hope you sit with it—and ask where this shows up in your life.
Let us know your feedback! We'd love to hear from you!
