What if getting stronger has very little to do with how much weight is on the bar and everything to do with how much life you’re capable of living?In EP. 148, Bryce sits down with coach, writer, speaker, and Lift Free and Diet Hard host Andrew Coates to talk about strength, longevity, coaching, relationships, and playing the long game.Andrew has spent thousands of hours on the gym floor and has become a trusted voice across the fitness industry. His work has been featured in Men’s Health, T Nation, and other prominent fitness publications and companies, while his writing, podcasting, and education continue to help coaches and everyday people cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters.This conversation gets back to the fundamentals: build muscle, stay capable, keep learning, and create a body that allows you to say YES to life for as long as possible.Fitness is the vessel. Life is the destination.What We ExploreWhy strength may be your greatest investmentMuscle, longevity, and staying capable as we ageWhy fitness has become unnecessarily complicatedConsistency vs. intensityTraining for life instead of just aestheticsWhat thousands of coaching hours teach you about peopleGreat coaching vs. great marketingSocial media and misinformation in fitnessSustainable nutrition without obsessionWhy the best coaches stay curiousBuilding a career around serviceRelationships, community, and healthMaking fitness support your life instead of becoming your lifeKey TakeawaysStrength creates options. The stronger and more capable we remain, the more life we can continue saying yes to.Muscle is bigger than aesthetics. We’re building resilience, independence, confidence, and longevity.Simple works. We probably don’t need another hack. We need to consistently execute the fundamentals.Great coaching is human. Knowledge matters, but listening, empathy, communication, and trust are what allow knowledge to create change.Fitness should expand your life. The goal isn’t to spend your entire existence inside a gym. It’s to build yourself inside the gym so you can experience more outside of it.Quotes“Strength gives you options.”“Fitness should make your life bigger, not become your entire life.”“You don’t need the perfect program. You need something you can consistently do.”“Muscle isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about maintaining your freedom.”“The best coaches never stop being students.”Join ALLSMITHIf this conversation gave you something, help us keep spreading these ideas.Subscribe to ALLSMITH on YouTube.

Most people aren’t lacking potential. They’re lacking enough days where their actions match the person they say they want to become.On Episode 147 of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with fitness entrepreneur, strength coach, author, and elite powerlifter Cory Gregory for a conversation about discipline, confidence, business, fitness, family, and the daily work required to become who you’re capable of becoming.From working underground in the coal mines of Ohio to co-founding MusclePharm, building multiple businesses, competing at an elite level, and creating the legendary 4AM Crew, Cory’s story is proof that confidence isn’t something you find. It’s something you earn.This episode isn’t about waking up at 4AM.It’s about keeping promises to yourself when nobody is watching.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Why most people never reach their potential• Confidence is built through proof, not positive thinking• What the coal mines taught Cory about work ethic and perspective• Lessons from building MusclePharm• The story and deeper meaning behind the 4AM Crew• Why consistency will take you further than motivation• How your environment shapes who you become• Building businesses and communities that actually last• Why the fundamentals still win in fitness and life• How Cory’s approach to training has evolved with age• Fatherhood, family, and redefining what success means• Staying hungry after you’ve already accomplished more than you imagined• Why keeping promises to yourself changes your identityQUOTES “Confidence is built through proof.”“Motivation gets you started. Consistency changes your life.”“Your environment is either reinforcing who you want to become or pulling you away from it.”“The promises nobody knows you made might be the most important ones to keep.”“You don’t become someone different overnight.

Why do so many people who eat clean, exercise consistently, prioritize sleep, and invest in their health still wake up feeling exhausted, stressed, disconnected, or unfulfilled?In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down in person with returning guest Kyle Gonzalez for a thought-provoking conversation about what it actually means to live a healthy life. Kyle is the VP of Performance at COYA, founder of The Vitality System, and author of the new book Move, Thrive, Come Alive. Rather than revisiting his story, Bryce and Kyle dive into the conversations that matter most today—challenging popular beliefs around wellness, longevity, fitness, recovery, stress, and what truly creates vitality.Kyle also reflects on one of the biggest life changes since his last appearance on ALLSMITH: becoming a father. Together, Bryce and Kyle explore how fatherhood reshapes priorities, changes the definition of success, and influences the way we care for ourselves and the people around us.This conversation goes beyond workouts and nutrition. It explores why movement remains one of the most powerful forms of medicine, how our environments shape our habits, and why so many people have become overwhelmed by an endless stream of health advice. Bryce and Kyle discuss wearable technology, recovery trends, the business of wellness, preventative health, and why consistency continues to outperform every shortcut.Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, parent, coach, or simply someone striving for more energy and fulfillment, this episode offers practical wisdom and timeless principles that can help you simplify your approach to health and build a life that feels as good as it looks.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still don’t feel your best, this conversation is for you.In This Episode• Why so many healthy people still don’t feel healthy.• The difference between fitness, wellness, vitality, and longevity.• How becoming a father transformed Kyle’s perspective on health and purpose.• Why movement is still the foundation of a healthy life.• The hidden cost of always trying to optimize yourself.• The role stress plays in modern disease and burnout.• Are wearables helping us become healthier—or making us more disconnected?• The biggest myths and misconceptions in today’s wellness industry.• Why consistency will always beat motivation and health hacks.• Building sustainable habits that fit real life.• What traveling the world taught Kyle about health, culture, community, and happiness.• Why recovery has become a booming industry—and what actually works.• The philosophy behind Move, Thrive, Come Alive.• The mission behind COYA and creating healthier communities.• The simple habits that create more energy and resilience.• How to build a lifestyle that supports your health instead of constantly fighting against it.• Why designing your environment is often more important than relying on willpower.• The future of preventative health and where the wellness industry is headed.• What true vitality looks like beyond numbers on a watch or scale.• Actionable habits you can begin implementing immediately.Connect with Kyle📲 @kylegonzalez3Follow ALLSMITH📲 @allsmithco📲 @therealbrycesmith🎙️ Subscribe to ALLSMITH for weekly conversations on fitness, wellness, mindset, leadership, adventure, recovery, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle design with world-class athletes, physicians, entrepreneurs, coaches, military leaders, and everyday people building extraordinary lives.If this episode challenged your perspective, inspired you, or encouraged you to make one healthier decision today, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.Fitness is the vessel.

Not every company begins with a business plan.Some begin with a promise.In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Sean Lake, founder of BUBS Naturals, to explore the remarkable story behind one of the most respected wellness brands in the world. Inspired by his best friend, Glen “BUB” Doherty—a Navy SEAL, adventurer, and American hero—Sean shares how loss became purpose and how purpose became a movement rooted in service, health, generosity, and living life to the fullest.Together, Bryce and Sean dive into friendship, grief, entrepreneurship, longevity, adventure, and the responsibility we all have to leave the world better than we found it.This isn’t just a conversation about supplements.It’s a conversation about the kind of life worth building.⸻In This Episode• The incredible legacy of Glen “BUB” Doherty• How BUBS Naturals was born from friendship and purpose• Turning grief into a mission that impacts thousands• Why wellness should be simple, clean, and intentional• The truth about longevity and living better, longer• Adventure as a catalyst for perspective and growth• Why service is one of the greatest measures of success• Building a business around values instead of trends• The importance of community, generosity, and legacy• What it really means to leave something behind that matters⸻Key Takeaways Legacy isn’t built after you’re gone.

What if the quality of your life is hidden inside the quality of the questions you’re willing to ask?In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce explores a collection of questions that have been sitting with him lately—questions sparked by conversations with clients, friends, guests, members of the ALLSMITH community, and his own experiences navigating health, relationships, grief, business, marriage, and personal growth.This isn’t an episode about having all the answers.It’s a conversation and an exploration.An exploration of commitment, loneliness, purpose, health, character, judgment, observation, wonder, and what it actually means to build a beautiful life in a world that often feels busy, distracted, entertained, and disconnected.Bryce dives into topics like people pleasing, ghosting culture, confidence, modern loneliness, social media validation, courage, responsibility, and why many of life’s greatest breakthroughs begin with a better question.At ALLSMITH, we believe fitness is the vessel.But the destination has always been something bigger:A beautiful life.And sometimes a single question can change the direction of an entire life.In This Episode:Are you exhausted because life is hard, or because you’re carrying things that no longer belong to you?The difference between being nice and being goodWhy confidence is built through evidence, not affirmationWhat commitment can teach us about health, relationships, business, and lifeGhosting culture and the cost of avoiding responsibilityThe hidden difference between recovery and escapeWhy money can’t solve loneliness, purpose, or belongingReplacing judgment with observation and curiosityLearning how to wonder instead of reactListening to the signals your body has been sendingQuestioning your definition of successLearning to trust yourself and make difficult decisionsWhat grief, adversity, and uncertainty can teach usWhy better questions often lead to better livesQuotes From This Episode:“Confidence is built through evidence, not affirmation.”“Resentment is often the receipt for an agreement we never should have made.”“The life you want is often hidden behind the commitment you’re avoiding.”“The body whispers before it screams.”“A full calendar doesn’t guarantee a full life.”“The wrong mountain still takes a lifetime to climb.”“Clarity is often the reward for courage.”“Every season leaves something behind for those willing to pay attention.”Key Takeaways:Better questions often create better lives.Character matters more than reputation.Commitment is becoming a lost art—and one of life’s greatest competitive advantages.Observation creates understanding. Judgment often ends it.Wonder and curiosity are powerful tools for growth.Health is not the destination, but it may be the most important vehicle.Building a beautiful life requires intention, courage, and consistency.The quality of your life is often hidden inside the quality of the questions you’re willing to ask.Question of the Week:What question are you avoiding because you’re afraid of the answer?Sit with it.Journal on it.Bring it to dinner.Talk about it with someone you trust.Because sometimes the question we’ve been avoiding is the one we need most.Connect With ALLSMITH:Instagram: @allsmithcoBryce: @therealbrycesmithWebsite: http://ALLSMITH.coSubscribe to the ALLSMITH Newsletter for weekly reflections, practical tools, stories, and conversations designed to help you build a stronger body, sharper mind, and more meaningful life.If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend and send us the question that’s been sitting with you lately.At ALLSMITH, we don’t just search for better answers.We ask better questions.Much love.Welcome to ALLSMITH.Thank you for Listening!

Most people know Chase Ingraham as one of the voices of CrossFit—the analyst, broadcaster, and storyteller helping make sense of the chaos on competition weekend.What many don’t see is the years of preparation, relentless pursuit of mastery, and life experiences that shaped the perspective behind the headset.In Episode 140, Chase sits down with Bryce for a conversation about loss, purpose, storytelling, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice people trust.Together, they explore the loss of Chase’s father and how grief reshaped his relationship with time, ambition, and meaning.

It changes the way you see the time you have left.”“Most people only see the broadcast. They never see the thousands of hours spent preparing for the moment.”“The best storytellers aren’t trying to be the story.”“The body was communicating long before technology started translating.”“CrossFit was never just about fitness. It was about proving people are capable of more than they think.”“Attention is easy to get. Trust takes years.”“The longer you’re around excellence, the more you realize greatness is usually built in private.”“Success eventually stops asking what you’ve accomplished and starts asking who you’ve become.”—Timestamps00:00 Introduction04:18 Losing his father and navigating grief18:47 The lessons hardship teaches29:05 The hidden work behind broadcasting42:11 Building credibility and trust55:22 The evolution of CrossFit1:08:46 The future of fitness1:21:15 Wellness trends and modern health culture1:33:42 Wearables, data, and intuition1:45:27 What great coaches do differently1:57:53 Storytelling and human connection2:09:34 Lessons from elite performers2:21:11 Longevity, health, and sustainability2:34:08 Purpose, identity, and fulfillment2:46:19 Final thoughts—If this conversation sparked something in you, share it with a friend, training partner, coach, teammate, spouse, or family member.The best conversations don’t end when the episode does.
