You Can't Unsee This Food Insanity
10/14/2026 | 8 mins.We're exploring why our modern food environment is insane - and why once you see it, you can't unsee it.
With our friend EC Synkowski, author of A Good Nutrition Book, we build awareness around how ultra-processed foods are engineered to be everywhere and impossible to escape.
From there, we build intention around the choices that are actually within our control, and action toward a life of health, happiness, and purpose - instead of drifting toward dissatisfaction and disease.

10/13/2026 | 9 mins.We're exploring how to find real fulfillment inside a job that already gives us balance and security, without needing to blow it all up for something new.
By treating our work as a calling instead of just a career, we build awareness around what's already working, intention around where we point our energy, and action toward a life of health, happiness, and purpose - even when the job we have isn't the one we imagined when we picture "meaningful work."

10/12/2026 | 15 mins.We're exploring how to tell the difference between a challenge worth pushing through and a misalignment worth walking away from.
By anchoring the decision in whether our values are actually aligned, we build awareness around what's really driving our discomfort, intention around when to work on our mindset versus make a real change, and action toward a life of health, happiness, and purpose - even when that change feels abrupt or uncertain.

10/09/2026 | 15 mins.We're revisiting a favorite conversation with Trevor Ragan to unpack his simple equation for discomfort: caring plus uncertainty.
When we treat that discomfort as proof we're on the wrong path, we shrink from the exact challenges that build us - but when we see it as a signal that the work matters, we turn it into fuel for growth.
We're building the awareness to name what we're feeling, the intention to reframe it as a rep instead of a red flag, and the action to keep showing up for a life of health, happiness, and purpose instead of drift.

10/08/2026 | 10 mins.We're exploring how to know whether we're building grit or slipping toward burnout when life leaves almost no room for training.
By understanding allostatic load and finding our minimum effective dose, we build awareness of what our body and season of life can actually handle, intention around protecting the training we truly enjoy, and action that turns limited time into real progress - without letting drift and exhaustion win.

About Chasing Excellence
Most people aren't stuck because they lack information. They're stuck because they know what to do and can't quite do it consistently. The slow drift keeps winning.Chasing Excellence is for people who are already trying — working out, eating well, staying positive — but find themselves in the one-good-week, one-bad-week cycle.Ben Bergeron, Patrick Cummings, and a crew of authors, thinkers, and doers explore the five factors of health — how we eat, move, think, connect, and rest — and what it actually takes to crowd out the drift and build the life you keep almost living.New episodes every Monday and Thursday.Beyond the podcast: the Chase Club brings together a crew for daily lessons, monthly challenges, and the real work of crowding out the drift. The ChaseTracker app helps you track the Five Factors daily.
