In this raw and real episode, I challenge one of the most celebrated lies in today's hustle culture: the idea that working harder always means winning.
We break down why being "the hardest worker in the room" sounds good in theory but often fails in reality. You’ll learn:
Why smart work always beats hard work in the long run.
The dangerous myth of “no days off” and how it’s quietly destroying your progress.
The science behind why rest is your secret weapon for growth and longevity.
The difference between performative hustle and real execution — and how to tell if you're actually moving forward or just moving in circles.
Five clear steps to work smarter starting today.
A powerful self-audit challenge that will change how you move forever.
Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, creative, or just someone trying to build a better life, this episode will push you to rethink everything you believe about “the grind.”
Stop flexing for the world and start building for yourself. Let’s get it.

This episode right here? It’s not for the faint of heart.
In one of the most raw, unfiltered conversations ever recorded, Trent Shelton sits down with part of his team, Brenda Cardenas, but this time, she’s asking the questions. The real ones. The uncomfortable ones. The ones people have been wanting to ask Trent for years... but never had the chance.
Nothing was off-limits. And Trent kept it all the way real.
Some of the truths shared in this conversation might sting. They might challenge you. But they were spoken with love, because sometimes the truth that hurts the most is the one that sets you free.
This isn’t just another podcast episode. This is a heart-check. A mirror. A breakthrough waiting to happen.
Listen if you're ready to grow. Listen if you're tired of fake.
But don’t press play unless you’re ready for the truth.

Hey Rehabbers:
In this powerful, unfiltered conversation, I sit down with the incredible Spanki Farris, storyteller, creative force, and truth-teller, to talk about the kind of healing that doesn’t just live on the surface.
We talk about what it means to grow up around dysfunction, how to find peace even when your past is loud, and how to protect your boundaries—even with the people you love the most.
Spanki opens up about motherhood, forgiveness, family wounds, and why sometimes the hardest people to set boundaries with… are the ones who raised you.
This is one of those episodes that feels like therapy and church at the same time. Raw. Real. Necessary.
