  167: Inside My Mind in March 2026 30.03.2026 1godz 16min

  This is a potentially new ongoing series I wanted to try. I'm calling it, "Inside My Mind." The goal is to have more open and honest reflection into some of my personal thoughts and developments and have the podcast be the driver of that. Today, I'm opening up about what I’m building, what I’m processing, and what life feels like in this season. I share what we’re working on at BPN and how this chapter has me thinking differently about growth, leadership, and where my energy is going.I also talk about how becoming a husband and father continues to change the way I see my work, my purpose, and the kind of man I want to be. This episode touches on the tension between what I say matters and how I actually live, learning to lead through example, enjoying training without a finish line in front of me, and trying to hold life with a little more gratitude and a little less seriousness. It’s a conversation about growth, patience, perspective, and who I’m becoming along the way.CHAPTERS:00:00 'The Why' Behind This Episode03:12 Whey Isolate Launch05:45 Strength Line Reboot09:35 New Product Tease15:56 Upcoming Events19:22 Pittsburgh Marathon Plans23:59 YouTube Season Shift33:29 Learning Manhood Values39:29 Closing Value Action Gap44:27 Embracing Household Chaos47:07 Training Without Prep53:51 Half Marathon Run Plan54:35 Cooking Season Returns01:00:39 Bring This 90s Resturant Experience Back01:06:39 Stop Taking Life So Serious01:09:54 Becoming Over Achieving01:13:33 Waiting For New Challenge01:16:09 Closing ThoughtsORDER 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.

  166: Life Updates, Parenting, and Social Media Detox with Stef Bare 23.03.2026 1godz 19min

  In this episode, Stef and I sit down for a real conversation about our family, faith, routine, and the season we’re currently in right now. We reflect on the chaos and gift of parenting, why we’ve chosen to disconnect from social media on weekends, and how that decision is reshaping our presence, priorities, and creativity. It’s as honest of a look that we can give at what we’re building behind the scenes and the values guiding where we go next.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro01:00 The Catch Up02:06 Weekend Social Media Fast07:42 Creativity and AI Fears15:20 Homeschooling and Time Back22:54 Morning Routine Overview25:03 Night Before Prep30:32 Early Wake and Workouts37:24 Baby Three?45:36 Fitness Reset54:11 Our Current Faith/Life Direction01:03:42 Vision for Stef's Studio01:16:36 Parenting Season ReflectionsORDER 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.
