    Your Health Is Your Legacy — Travin & Britni Gray on Living Elite Every Day

    In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with Travin Gray and Britni Gray of REVV Health for a powerful conversation about what it really means to pursue elite health. This isn’t about shortcuts, hype, or chasing quick fixes. It’s about making the daily choices that allow YOU to sleep better, perform better, think clearer, and ultimately live longer. Ben opens up about the health battles in his own family and why he made a decision to stop waiting for problems to appear before taking action. Together, they unpack the truth about hormones, blood work, preventative care, and why real health is built through discipline, not convenience.

    Britni and Travin also share the personal struggles that shaped their mission. From being dismissed by doctors and fighting through serious health issues of their own, they explain why REVV Health was built to be different—more thorough, more personal, and more committed to doing things the right way in an industry that often moves too fast. They talk about the importance of being your own advocate, the danger of cutting corners, and how optimizing your health can change not just your energy and performance, but your marriage, your family, your confidence, and your future. This episode is a reminder that elite performance starts with elite health—and if you keep putting your health off until later, later may come too late.

    Bryan Edwards on Faith, Discipline, and Never Wasting Today

    In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with Bryan “Juice” Edwards, co-founder of Hughes-Edwards Builders and a man whose energy, authenticity, and commitment to growth are impossible to ignore. Known for his daily “Juice Boost” messages and his ability to bring positivity into every room he enters, Bryan shares the deeper story behind that mindset—from the influence of his parents’ lasting marriage and faith, to surviving a plane crash that gave him an even greater appreciation for the gift of each day. For Bryan, the burn begins with one simple truth: never waste today.

    Ben and Bryan unpack what it means to live with love, faith, discipline, and intentionality in every area of life. Bryan opens up about embracing his gift of encouragement, becoming more coachable, and committing to a challenge-based lifestyle that transformed not only his mindset, but also his health, marriage, business, and leadership. From reversing health issues and building greater capacity, to leading his family and business with purpose, Bryan’s story is a powerful reminder that legacy is not something you leave behind someday—it’s how you show up right now. If you need a reminder to stop waiting, own today, and bring more light into the lives around you, this episode will give you the juice.

    Built by Standards | Dr. Lorenzo Guess on Winning, Legacy, and the Discipline to Develop Men

    In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with his longtime friend and fellow Spartan, Dr. Lorenzo Guess—Assistant AD, Director of Athletic Performance at Michigan State, and Director of Strength & Conditioning for men’s basketball. From being a two-sport athlete at Michigan State to helping lead championship-level programs as a coach, Dr. Guess shares the fire that has driven him to keep growing, keep serving, and keep showing up at the highest level. Raised in a single-parent home, his burn was built from a desire to create a better life, honor his family, and do things no one around him had done before. That same drive carried him through adversity, including rewriting his dissertation during COVID and earning his doctorate because his daughter challenged him to finish what he started.

    Ben and Dr. Guess dive into what it means to coach beyond the game—developing not just better athletes, but stronger, more disciplined young men who are ready for life after college. They talk about the culture of Michigan State basketball, the standards set by Tom Izzo, and why talent alone is never enough. Dr. Guess explains how true development comes from accountability, detail, consistency, and refusing to let anything slip through the cracks—even with the most gifted players. This conversation is about legacy, family, discipline, and the responsibility to become an example for those watching. If you want to understand what it looks like to lead with energy, serve with purpose, and stay committed to growth long after success arrives, this episode is for YOU.

    Built Different — Justin Gatlin & Phil Heath on Greatness, Grit, and the Champion’s Mind

    In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two of the most dominant competitors to ever step onto the world stage: Olympic gold medalist Justin Gatlin and seven-time Mr. Olympia Phil Heath.

    First, Ben sits down with Justin Gatlin to unpack what it truly takes to compete at the highest level in track and field. From Olympic glory to the setbacks and scrutiny that tested his resolve, Justin shares how mental toughness, discipline, and an unshakable belief in himself fueled one of the most resilient careers in sprinting history. He opens up about the evolution from elite competitor to mentor and coach, and why passing on lessons of focus, preparation, and character now drives him just as much as winning once did.

    Then, Ben dives deep with Phil Heath, whose seven Mr. Olympia titles were not built on talent alone—but on relentless attention to detail and an obsession with mastery. Phil shares the internal battles that shaped him, the vulnerability required to confront his own weaknesses, and the standard of excellence that separated him from the field year after year. His journey proves that greatness is forged long before the lights turn on—it’s built in the unseen hours of discipline and self-confrontation.

    Together, these conversations reveal a powerful truth: champions are not defined by trophies—they are defined by how they respond to adversity, how they refine their craft, and how they show up when no one is watching. If you want to understand what it really means to be “built different,” this episode will challenge you to raise your standards, strengthen your mindset, and reconnect to your burn. 🔥

    The Discipline That Builds Champions

    In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman delivers one of his most honest and direct messages yet—a challenge to stop living in the past and start owning what you can actually control: TODAY.

    Using the mindset of Kobe Bryant and the response of Jalen Hurts after a Super Bowl loss, Ben breaks down what real mental toughness looks like. Kobe didn’t see failure as final—he saw it as feedback. Hurts didn’t let critics define him—he let preparation and discipline do the talking. The common thread? Champions don’t carry losses as identity. They carry them as fuel.

    Ben ties it all back to the Prizefighter Day framework—winning the day through ownership of your actions, your energy, and your standards. Too many people say they want greatness, but their habits tell a different story. Too many are still dragging around last week’s mistakes, last year’s disappointments, or old labels that no longer serve them.

    This episode isn’t about hype. It’s about accountability. It’s about alignment. It’s about deciding that your past will not dictate your future. If you’re ready to let go of what was and lock into what can be—this is your reminder to show up, reset, and win today. 🔥

    The Details Decide — Josh Kosnick on Discipline, Legacy, and Leading From the Front

    In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with longtime friend, elite business leader, and professional EOS Implementer Josh Kosnick. From growing up in a high-performing financial services family to stepping out of his father’s shadow and building his own legacy, Josh shares what it truly takes to lead at the highest level. A USA Today bestselling author of The Kairos Code, Josh is not someone who simply talks about success—he’s built it, scaled it, sold businesses, and now coaches elite leadership teams to execute with precision.

    Ben and Josh unpack the power of discipline, daily standards, and why balance isn’t about equal time—it’s about intentional priorities. They dive deep into Josh’s journey from college football to running and scaling firms, the hard lessons that shaped his work ethic, and the moment he chose to stop wasting potential and start living into his calling. Josh also pulls back the curtain on what it really means to be a professional EOS Implementer—facilitating leadership teams through the hard conversations that create clarity, accountability, and exponential growth.

    This conversation is about more than business. It’s about ownership. It’s about refusing to wait for the “golden egg.” It’s about looking in the mirror and choosing to live up to who you were created to be. If you want to understand how discipline in the details builds legacy over decades—not days—this episode will challenge you to reconnect to your burn and lead from the front.

    Standards, Systems, and Staying in Your Lane | JD Crowell on Discipline and Culture

    In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with JD Crowell—a husband and dad first, and a real-world operator who believes success is built through discipline, not hype. JD is the founder of Responsive Companies, a vertically integrated real estate platform supporting 50+ full-time teammates, managing nearly 1,400 units, and generating close to $30M in annual gross income. From Responsive Capital Ventures to asset management and home buying, JD walks through why staying in a tight niche, executing the basics at an elite level, and doing the unglamorous work every day wins long term.

    This conversation goes far beyond business. JD and Ben unpack the power of core values, culture as behavior (not posters), and the STABLE framework that drives every decision—from hiring and promotions to accountability and leadership. You’ll hear why JD believes “boring, well-executed housing” creates lasting impact for working-class families, how disciplined routines compound over time, and why who you’re becoming along the way matters more than the numbers on the scoreboard. If you’re tired of highlight reels and want a real look at what it takes to build something that lasts—at home, in business, and in life—this episode is for YOU.

    How Discipline and Failure Build What Matters with Iconic Becker & Ryan Pineda

    In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two high-impact conversations with leaders who have built success by embracing adversity, honoring their burn, and committing to disciplined action—especially when motivation fades.

    First, Ben sits down with Iconic Becker, founder of Klevr Events, whose journey includes surviving near-death experiences and pushing through relentless challenges to create elite, high-level events known for unmatched attention to detail. Becker opens up about failing forward, persevering through setbacks, and why resilience is built in the moments most people want to quit. His story is a reminder that purpose isn’t found in comfort—it’s earned through commitment to your craft, even on the hardest days.

    Then, Ben shares a powerful conversation with Ryan Pineda,  breaks down what it really takes to build discipline at scale—growing multiple businesses, managing hundreds of rental properties, leading with intention, and still putting family first. From the daily habits of high performers to the unsexy work behind long-term success, Ryan delivers real, actionable insight into what separates those who talk from those who execute.

    Together, these conversations embody the heart of The Burn: honoring your drive, learning through failure, and doing the disciplined work required to build a life, business, and legacy that actually matter.

    The Legacy Begins at Home | Caleb Altmeyer & John Chiorando on Faith, Family, and Leadership

    In this powerful compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two deeply moving conversations centered on conviction, responsibility, and choosing to stand for what matters most. First, Ben sits down with Caleb Altmeyer, Founder and CEO of Helping Captives. Caleb shares how his faith-driven mission led him to transform a former strip club into a rescue and restoration facility—turning a place of exploitation into a sanctuary of hope. With over a decade in ministry and nonprofit leadership, Caleb speaks candidly about protecting women and children, the critical role parents play by being present in their kids’ lives, and why awareness, connection, and courage can literally save lives.

    Then, Ben is joined by entrepreneur and philanthropist John Chiorando, who defines success by a single word: Dad. John opens up about the heartbreak of losing his daughter Nina and the vow that now drives his life—to fund a cure so no other family has to endure the same pain. From building companies rooted in integrity to creating the “Be the Good Day” standard across his organizations, John shares what it means to lead with faith, keep your word no matter the cost, and prioritize family above all else. Together, these conversations deliver a clear message: leadership isn’t about titles or success—it’s about showing up, protecting what matters, and choosing to be the good when life makes it hardest.

    Written Off by the Facts, Fueled by Truth, and Built Into Legends

    In this deeply moving compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together three extraordinary stories that challenge everything we think we know about limits. This episode isn’t about accepting circumstances—it’s about refusing them. It’s about the line between what the world labels as facts and the truth YOU choose to live by. And it’s about what ignites greatness when YOU’RE told YOU don’t measure up.

    The journey begins with Aeneas Williams, whose path to the NFL was anything but traditional. He didn’t step onto a college football field until his junior year, and even then, doubt followed him. A coach once told him he was too slow to ever make it in the league. That may have been the verdict—but Aeneas refused to let it become his reality. Through relentless work and unbreakable belief, he turned skepticism into fuel and built a Hall of Fame career. His story is a reminder that outside opinions don’t define YOUR potential—YOUR conviction does.

    Next, we hear from Andrew Whitworth, a Super Bowl champion and the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year. Known for both his dominance on the field and his leadership beyond it, “Big Whit” represents what longevity, discipline, and purpose truly look like. Over nearly 20 years in the NFL, he showed that greatness isn’t about moments—it’s about showing up, rep after rep, day after day, with intention and heart.

    We close with the powerful story of Antoine Bethea, a man who was told he didn’t fit the mold. Too small. Too light. Too overlooked. On National Signing Day, he had no Division I or II offers. But Antoine didn’t wait for permission—he walked on at Howard University, trusted himself, and carved out a career that included a Super Bowl title and three Pro Bowl selections. His journey proves that when YOU silence the doubt and lean into YOUR burn, ceilings disappear.


    Don’t let the world set YOUR boundaries.
    YOU choose who YOU become.

    Inky Johnson & J. J. Mazzo on Perseverance, Purpose, and the Discipline to Keep Showing Up

    In this powerful compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two deeply moving conversations that center on faith, perseverance, and the meaning we assign to adversity. First, Ben finally sits down with Inky Johnson, a conversation years in the making. Inky shares how a career-ending injury became the foundation for a life of purpose, leadership, and impact. He breaks down why behavior always precedes belief, how humility fuels true discipline, and why faith—not circumstance—is the anchor that allows you to endure life’s hardest moments. This is not a story about football; it’s about choosing to give suffering meaning and refusing to waste the lessons adversity brings.

    Then, Ben is joined by mortgage-industry leader, coach, and author J. J. Mazzo, who opens up about the messy middle—imposter syndrome, financial pressure, family leadership, and faith—while unpacking the principles behind his book Perseverance Principles. J. J. shares how transparency, grace, and standards helped him rebuild during seasons of shame and uncertainty, and why leading at home is the ultimate test of character. From donating his book proceeds to charity to building a mission-driven coaching company, J. J.’s story is a reminder that perseverance isn’t just about surviving—it’s about serving, growing, and choosing light when darkness feels overwhelming. Together, these conversations deliver a clear message: when faith anchors discipline and purpose fuels action, perseverance becomes possible—no matter how heavy the moment feels.
