  • The Mindset Behind Running 50 Miles a Week and Building Unshakable Discipline
    Jul 10 2026

    What does discipline actually look like in real life?



    In this conversation, Jeremy shares how sobriety, purpose, and consistent daily action have completely transformed the way he approaches fitness and life. From running a single mile to completing a full marathon on a treadmill and consistently logging more than 50 miles each week, he explains why discipline isn't about motivation. It's about keeping the promises you make to yourself.



    We also discuss why most people place limits on themselves long before they reach their true potential, how to gradually push beyond your comfort zone, and why building confidence comes from repeatedly following through on your commitments.



    Whether you're working toward a fitness goal, building a business, pursuing personal growth, or simply trying to become more consistent, this conversation is a reminder that meaningful progress comes from showing up, taking action, and believing you're capable of more than you think.



    In this episode, we discuss:



    • What discipline really means beyond motivation



    • Why keeping promises to yourself builds lasting confidence



    • Going from one mile to marathon distance through consistent progression



    • Using fitness to strengthen your mindset for every area of life



    • Why purpose naturally creates discipline



    • The role sobriety played in creating long term change



    • How to stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your own progress

  • From Rock Bottom to 75 Pounds Lost | From The Your Level Fitness Podcast
    Jul 3 2026

    Sometimes the greatest transformations don't begin with a workout plan or a new diet.


    They begin with surviving your darkest day.


    In this episode, I'm joined by Kyle Fry, who shares an incredibly honest conversation about living through chronic pain, surviving suicidal thoughts, rebuilding his life after multiple back surgeries, and ultimately losing more than 75 pounds by changing far more than his body.


    Together, we explore how mindset, personal responsibility, supportive relationships, and daily action helped Kyle move from simply surviving to creating a life he genuinely enjoys living.


    In this episode, we discuss:


    • Kyle's battle with chronic pain and multiple back surgeries


    • The day he nearly lost his life to suicide


    • How one unexpected moment changed everything


    • The mental and emotional side of long-term weight gain


    • Why rock bottom became the turning point in his journey


    • Losing more than 75 pounds through sustainable lifestyle changes


    • Food addiction, habits, and rebuilding a healthier relationship with yourself


    • The importance of surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed


    • Why small, consistent goals often lead to the biggest transformations


    • Making peace with your past without allowing it to define your future


    This conversation goes far beyond weight loss. It's about resilience, choosing hope during incredibly difficult seasons of life, and recognizing that lasting change begins long before you see it reflected on the scale.


    Whether you're navigating your own health journey, struggling with your mental health, or simply looking for encouragement to take the next step, I believe you'll find something meaningful in Kyle's story.

  • The Run That Changed Everything: Memo's Running Story
    Jun 24 2026

    Today on the podcast, I am joined by Memo, a runner, content creator, and one of the most genuine people I've had the opportunity to connect with online.


    What started as a conversation about running quickly became a deeper discussion about identity, fatherhood, mental health, social media, personal growth, and the moments that change the direction of our lives.


    Memo shares how the COVID years led to unhealthy habits, weight gain, and a growing disconnect from the person he wanted to be. After becoming a father, everything changed. Faced with the reality of the choices he was making and the future he wanted for his daughter, he made a decision that would eventually lead him to running.


    We talk about the difficult first steps, the lessons learned during his first year as a runner, and how slowing down ultimately helped him make more progress. We also explore the supportive running community on TikTok, the power of documenting your journey, and why connecting with others can make a difficult process feel a little less lonely.


    In this episode, we discuss:


    • How the pandemic impacted habits, health, and daily life


    • Becoming a father and finding a new sense of purpose


    • The frightening moment that motivated Memo to make a change


    • Why slowing down helped him become a better runner


    • Recovery runs, pacing, and avoiding burnout


    • Using social media to document progress and build community


    • The connection between running, mental health, and self-reflection


    • Finding beauty in everyday life and appreciating the journey


    • Why consistency matters more than perfection


    • The lessons running teaches about patience, growth, and resilience


    This conversation goes far beyond running. It's about becoming the person you want to be, appreciating where you are today, and continuing to move forward one step at a time.
