🎧 This Week: This Week: The 4 Pillars of Complete Fitness & What Your Triggers Are Actually Trying to Tell You
Two brand new episodes for you
Hey friends 👋
Here’s a look at what we got into this week, plus links to the full Listener Guides if you want to go deeper!
🎧 Train Heavy, Fast, Far, & Free: How to Stay Formidable for Life
Ben, Cole, and Jamison are back for another episode in our Forever Fit series.
Together, they break down the Heavy, Fast, Far, Free framework — a complete approach to training that covers strength, power, endurance, and mobility in a single week.
The conversation gets at why most of us are training in only one or two dimensions — and how that compounds into real limiters over decades.
This episode’s for you if:
You want to build a training week that’s genuinely complete — not just the things you’re already good at — because being formidable at 60, 70, and beyond is the actual goal.
You’ve been optimizing hard in one or two dimensions while quietly skipping the others, telling yourself you’ll get to them eventually — and you know “eventually” keeps getting pushed.

🎧 Why You Need to Reverse Engineer Your Triggers
I go solo to close out the 21-Day Trigger Challenge. It’s less of a recap and more of an honest report of what the work actually revealed.
I cover the tug-of-war between what we want and what’s real, the difference between surface triggers (daily annoyances that are actually low-stakes practice reps) and serious triggers (the ones rooted in something much deeper and much harder to see), and the idea — from philosopher Alain de Botton — that our triggers are a secret guide to our own private histories.
This episode’s for you if:
You’re ready to stop treating your triggers as random inconveniences and start asking the harder question — where are they actually coming from — because you know that’s where the real work is.
You did the challenge (or skipped it) and moved on, but you haven’t stopped to ask what your most consistent triggers have in common — and what that pattern might be quietly telling you about yourself.
How to get access to the next Challenge, starting June 11th:
