You Choose with Billy Garton Jr.

What would your life look like if you were unrealistically optimistic about it?Richie Lovelace, better known as Daddy Wellness, calls himself exactly that, and he believes it is the formula.He was the chubby kid who got bullied, the gamer who could lose eight hours to video games, and the guy who worked in finance and hated it. And one day, sitting in the shower with no followers to his name, he heard a voice telling him to give Daddy Wellness another try. Today more than 2 million people follow him on Instagram, and he calls himself the World's Healthiest Degenerate.But beyond the skits, there is a side of Richie most people never get to see. He is a testament to what happens when you stop fighting an all or nothing personality and point it at something you love.So in this conversation we went looking for that side. We talked about why he still cares what people think, why he stopped trying to be balanced, and the one skill he believes high performers share. He told me why every winning streak used to end in a bender, and how therapy, something he once thought was weak, ended up playing the biggest role in changing that. We talked about the voice in the shower that told him to roll the dice, why he doesn't believe in failure, and how to make a wrong decision the right one.We went deep on going all in too. Why he paused a podcast he had poured a year into. Why you have to dig one hole instead of many. How he fell in love with videos that got zero views. Why he failed his 100-day running challenge twice and kept going. And why the cringe you feel when you try something new is the feeling we live for.When he took me back to that moment in the shower, he got emotional, and so did I. It is a beautiful thing to see the inner world behind someone's greatness.The line that stuck with me:"I still care what people think about me, but I care more about finding out what I'm capable of."If there's a voice in your head telling you to try, this one is for you. Go roll the dice!If this conversation moves something in you, let me know by liking, commenting, and subscribing to the show.I am committed out of my mind to bringing you conversations that alter the direction of your life, leading you to a deeper sense of belonging in the context of the world.Follow Richie:   / daddywellness  Watch Richie on YouTube:    / @daddywellness  Follow Billy:   / billygartonjr  Follow the Podcast:   / youchoosepodcast  Chapters00:00 Introduction06:44 What Do You Have to Lose?07:44 Why He Still Cares What People Think09:24 Call of Duty Was His First Obsession11:15 100 or Nothing: The Case Against Balance13:37 Staying in the Pocket: The Skill High Performers Share14:53 90 Days Locked In, Then a Bender16:16 The Sauna Thermostat: Why We Self-Sabotage19:07 Why He Used to Think Therapy Was Weak21:13 His Parents Split Up and Stayed Best Friends23:19 A New Definition of Self-Love24:56 Is Daddy Wellness Happy?27:21 The Voice in the Shower29:42 Why the Abs Were Just a Side Effect31:35 What Nobody Sees32:20 Roll the Dice: The Two Voices in Your Head33:34 Unbearably Optimistic34:41 Toxic Abundance: Make It the Right Decision36:51 You Die Looking Like Your Choices38:35 Your Gut Is the Number One Guide43:12 Pausing a 52-Episode Podcast44:18 Dig One Hole47:21 The Favorite-Meal Test48:14 Falling in Love With Zero Views50:04 Failing a 100-Day Running Challenge Twice51:37 The Cringe Is the Feeling We Live For54:04 Let Yourself Be New59:12 The Rat Race vs. the Game in Your Head1:03:59 You Can't Be Great at What You Don't Love1:06:36 Love, Obsession, Devotion, Legacy1:10:20 30 Days Straight in Ibiza1:11:47 Why He Makes People Laugh1:16:12 Writing a New Narrative1:19:11 What Did the Owner of This House Overcome?1:22:47 He Already Had It Before He Had It1:24:36 A Message for Your Shower Moment

What if the thing you’re most afraid to say out loud is the very thing that would save you?I opened this conversation with a line from the Gospel of Thomas: “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” Preston's response was exactly what I didn't know I needed.Preston has spent two decades as a transformational coach, speaker and author. He is a father of four, and for more than a decade he’s led The Bridge Experience alongside his wife, Alexi. For Preston, bringing forth what’s within you isn’t only about your purpose or your mission. It’s moment to moment. It’s the first hit in your body, and whether you act on it or talk yourself out of it. Every time you override it, you erode trust within yourself.So in this conversation we went looking for it. We talked about how we were trained from childhood to outsource our power to our parents, our teachers and our priests long before we knew we were doing it, and why intuition is almost always the first thought, not the fifth. He explained why God, to him, is like electricity, and why the real question is whether you’ve built the infrastructure for what you’re asking for. And he told me how scheduling play into every single day, right in the middle of a launch, doubled his business.We talked about brutal honesty versus artful honesty in relationships, what actually creates safety in a woman’s body, why arguing more brought him and his wife closer, and how to hold your ground without people pleasing or running.We went deep on money too. Why money is the spoon, not the food. Why he sent back a $30,000 payment from a client he didn’t want to coach. How writing a book called Spiritual Millionaire took him down to his last $20,000. How to pick the one thing that moves the needle and put everything else down. And why he can sit at a table with men who have far more money than him and feel like the richest one in the room.The line that stuck with me:“When a bird lands on a tree, its faith is not in the branch. Its faith is in its wings.”If you’re carrying something you haven’t said yet, this one is for you. Go bring it forth!If this conversation moves something in you, let me know by liking, commenting, and subscribing to the show.I am committed out of my mind to bringing you conversations that alter the direction of your life, leading you to a deeper sense of belonging in the context of the world.Follow Preston: https://www.instagram.com/prestonsmiles/?hl=enJoin the Bridge Experience: https://www.thebridgemethod.org/Follow Billy: https://www.instagram.com/billygartonjr/?hl=enFollow the Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/youchoosepodcast/

I left this conversation more inspired, uplifted and connected to the texture of my existence than I have felt in a long time.IN-Q is an emmy-nominated poet, multi-platinum songwriter, world renowned keynote speaker, and best-selling author.This is an intimate window into his creative process, the perspective he adopts to create meaningful art, and a live demonstration of a few poems, both his and mine, that have touched the lives of many. It was a pinch me moment to have the opportunity to sit across from and read poetry to a man who has been the core icon I have looked to for inspiration when translating my world into words. I believe you will be touched by this conversation, and if you are, please let me know. I am committed out of my mind to bringing you conversations that offer you a deeper sense of belonging to yourself and the world. It is an honor to have you tuning in.

Brendan, the founder of Santa Cruz Medicinals, may be the most influential voice in the world for young men right now. He walks down the street and cars pull over so kids can yell "Santa Cruz!" out the window. He funds his own content, he doesn't take the gambling money, and he shows people exactly how he lives.I didn't sit down with him to talk about supplements. I wanted to talk about the inside of a young man's life, because I believe that's where the real crisis is. The loneliness. A dating world that feels rigged. A brain so cooked by the scroll that it feels nothing and everything at the same time.We spoke about larping, looksmaxxing, mogging, mewing, monk mode, rage baiting, sexual market value, AI girlfriends, sports betting and the manosphere itself. A few of his answers surprised me!If you're a young man who feels stuck, lonely, or like the game is rigged against you, this one is for you. And if you love one, send it to him.I hope you enjoy, and if you do, let me know by liking, commenting, and subscribing to the show.I am committed out of my mind to bringing you conversations that alter the direction of your life, leading you to a deeper sense of belonging in the context of the world.This episode includes a conversation about those who contemplate taking their life.

You are under no obligation to be the same person you were yesterday. These are Charlie Rocket's recipes for reinvention. Not many are more qualified to speak on this than Charlie. He got fired twice in the music business, then went on to manage 2 Chainz. At 29, he was 300 pounds with a brain tumor. Nine months later, he was a Nike athlete. He then left that world behind to build a multinational charitable organization called the Dream Machine Foundation, where he travelled the country making people's dreams come true. He has since established himself as a global speaker, and in this episode talks openly about his next phase of reinvention: becoming a NYT Bestselling Author. He is a testament to the power of delusional optimism, as well as the profound humility to begin again, time and time again. His life is vibrant because he has been willing to choose again when his spirit longs for something new, and this conversation invites you into the 'how' behind it all.

This may be my favorite conversation we've had on the show so far. Koa Smith is a professional surfer who made a name for himself chasing the biggest and most beautiful waves on earth and capturing them on camera. His career and life was dramatically altered when a collision with a reef caused a traumatic brain injury. He lost his memory, sense of self and fell into a deep depression. This is a conversation on identity, on intimacy, and on integrity. It's about learning to feel again, dissolving the illusion of separate between you and another, but also between you and everything you desire. There aren't many people more equipped to talk about death, about discovering inner peace amidst chaos, and about learning how to find purpose in life again. We talk about 3 rules for life that were given to him by a shaman, 2 words that keep you from having what you desire, and 1 way of being (Hint: trying to figure it out) that keeps us in endless suffering. We also deep dive on the modalities that have changed his life, Transcendental Meditation, Psychedelics, Joe Dispenza...and the most important one, CHOICE. I am reminded that the tools are only as effective as we choose to be with the information that is revealed. That is why life is the ceremony, and the rest are just companions supporting our awareness. After awareness always comes choice, and we must CHOOSE differently if we wish to witness new and better circumstances for our life. Enjoy, and if you do, please subscribe to the show. The chances are, if not subscribed, you will miss future episodes that, I will assert, are life altering. I am grateful for all the love and support.

If you have ever looked at a man you love and wondered what is actually going on in there, watch this. If you are raising a boy and you can feel the internet reaching him faster than you can, watch this. If you are still carrying something left unsaid with your own father, watch this for the way through. And if you're a man who has done years of work on himself and still feels broken, watch this. There is a way back...and it isn't more discipline.Adam Jackson is the cofounder of the largest men's work organization in the world, Sacred Sons. Over 20,000 men have made their way through the Sacred Sons programming. There are few people more equipped to talk about men than this man. Expect to learn why combat is important for men, what twenty thousand men have actually admitted to him behind closed doors, why he doesn't fully trust men and what he means by that, the most important parts of manhood, of fatherhood, and of true intimacy in relationships. This is a timely message for anyone with a boy or. man in their life. If you listen all the way through, you'll leave with clear tools for a more empowered existence.Enjoy!CHAPTERS:0:00 Intro0:04 The Violence Already Exists4:19 The Men Who Don't Fight, Fight in Other Ways10:44 The One Thing More Important Than Honesty15:13 It All Comes Back to Mom17:01 "I Don't Know If I Trust Men"20:58 The Harm Is Happening Inside Your Own Home24:40 Why the Uncles Have to Be Cool29:15 Billy: "Part of Me Is Stuck in Boyhood"30:42 You Cannot Initiate Yourself38:18 Why He Tells His Brothers to Have More Children41:39 They Don't Stop Loving You45:48 Protect Your Children From Yourself49:40 What a Child Actually Needs From a Father53:52 The Way Back to Your Father Is Gratitude55:59 The Age of Ancestral Amnesia59:32 The Moment He Repeated the Pattern1:02:18 The One Message Men Need From Women1:05:39 Love One Woman Completely1:08:00 Choose WiselyFollow Adam - https://www.instagram.com/adam___jacksonSacred Sons - https://www.instagram.com/sacredsonsSacred Sons events - https://sacredsons.comFollow the show - https://www.instagram.com/youchoosepodcast/Follow Billy - https://www.instagram.com/billygartonjr
