"Healthspan Over Lifespan – Living Legendary Beyond the Truck
Send us a text
All right, family — welcome back to Beyond the Truck.
Today, I want to talk about something that’s not just important — it’s critical.
We talk a lot about health… about living long, staying around for our kids and grandkids.

Because what good is 80 years on earth… if the last 20 are spent barely living?
See, I don’t want to just live long.
I want to live well.
I want to move, think, love, and...

Importance Of Brain Washing
Send us a text
It’s the weekend — time to slow down, reset, and wash your brain. In this episode of Beyond the Short, we dive into the power of proper rest — what it really means to “brainwash” yourself the healthy way. When you sleep, your brain goes through a cleaning cycle, flushing out the garbage from the week — the stress, the noise, the clutter. But if you cut that cycle short, it’s like stopping the dishwasher before the dishes are clean or forgetting to take the trash all the way to the curb.

In this episode of Strength of the Message, we’re putting two hands back on the wheel of the mind. You’ll learn how negative thoughts form, why they grip so tight, and how to shift out of them through awareness, reframing, and gratitude. J...

Commitment To Overcome Fear
Send us a text
In life, we make countless commitments—to our families, our careers, our communities—but too often, fear creeps in and paralyzes us before we ever lean into those promises. Fear keeps us from discovering the best version of ourselves. But becoming that version requires more than just courage—it demands self-awareness, emotional honesty, and the willingness to name what we feel. There’s a better version of each of us waiting on the other side of fear. We see it in moments of extraordinary resolve—like runners in the Chicago Marathon pushing through pain to hon...

Simple Fitness, Muscle-Centric Health, and Walking’s Preventive Power

We live in a world drowning in fitness advice—$800 billion spent each year on programs, supplements, and equipment. Yet Americans remain among the unhealthiest populations on the planet. With nearly 300,000 scientific studies on exercise published in the past decade, why are only 28% of Americans meeting basic activity guidelines? Because the truth has been buried under marketing hype and scientific noise.
In this episode, we cut through the confusion and go back to the basics: walking, building muscle, and fueling your body with real food. You’ll discover why simple steps slash your...

Letter To Gratitude

Gratitude rode quietly in the passenger seat beside me, steady and unspoken, as I navigated long hours in the cab. It didn’t need to speak, it was there in the hum of the engine, the rhythm of the road, and the quiet moments between destinations. Through every mile, it reminded me of the people, the purpose, and the peace that come from simply moving forward.

In transportation, silence is part of the job. Hours stretch into days, and the miles roll by with nothing but the hum of the engine and the white lines on the road. Some drivers enjoy the quiet, but for many, that silence becomes something else — a weight. A silent companion called loneliness.”
“Professional drivers spend countless hours in solitude. Away from family, away from friends, crossing long distances with minimal human interaction. Unlike fatigue or a flat tire, loneliness doesn’t flash a warning light. It creeps in quietly, wearing down the mind...
