173: Inside My Mind: Building The Future

In this April 2026 “Inside My Mind” episode, I share what I’m building, learning, loving, and honestly trying to loosen my grip on. I break down the future of BPN, including our carbonated energy drink, creatine chews, consumer research, retail strategy, and how we’re thinking long game. I also reflect on lessons from Lonesome Dove, The Culture Code, the GBRS team, and pacing my dad at the Pittsburgh Marathon. This episode is about building with patience, leading with service, watching others win, and remembering that routines should serve the mission and not become the master.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro03:20 Energy Drink R&D11:47 Retail Launch Plan15:08 Creatine Chews Update18:41 Brand Strategy Shift26:32 Books and Culture Lessons31:48 GBRS Visit and Service Mindset42:35 Pittsburgh Marathon Homecoming48:31 Week With Dad54:35 Finish Line Scare01:03:05 Garmin Flashlight Return01:09:37 Routine Versus Freedom01:13:31 Closing ThoughtsORDER MY BOOK HERE: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutritionIG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitnessThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
