Q is the Founder of World Class and Co-Founder of The Forge Experience, a transformative men’s retreat built to help men reconnect with purpose through challenge, reflection, and brotherhood.Together, Bryce and Q go straight to the heart of one of today’s most important and misunderstood topics: masculinity. Is it under attack — or are we witnessing the rebirth of what it truly means to be a man?This episode explores how men can move from confusion to clarity, from ego to essence, and from competition to connection.

EP. 106 - Greg Whiteley | The Mind Behind Netflix’s Most Human Stories – Last Chance U, Cheer, and America’s Sweethearts
In this episode, Bryce sits down with Emmy-winning filmmaker Greg Whiteley, the creative mind behind some of Netflix’s most powerful human stories including Last Chance U, Cheer, Wrestlers, and America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.Greg isn’t just a director. He’s a storyteller who turns the camera into a mirror, revealing the beauty, pain, grit, and grace of real people chasing impossible dreams. His work reminds us that the scoreboard never tells the full story and that behind every championship and breakdown lies a heartbeat, a fear, and a flicker of hope that refuses to die.Together, Bryce and Greg explore the philosophy behind the lens, the psychology of trust, and the subtle art of capturing truth in motion. This conversation will make you rethink what it means to lead, to fail, and to rise again.“If you care enough, people will let you in,” Greg shares, speaking about the sacred trust that allows his subjects to reveal their real selves. “My goal isn’t to create characters, it’s to honor people.”Bryce and Greg discuss how Last Chance U taught him about redemption and human resilience, why Cheer became an emotional exploration of belonging and identity, and how America’s Sweethearts reminds us that beauty and performance often mask deep emotional battles.“This isn’t about sports,” Greg says. “It’s about the human condition. Sport is just the language we use to talk about it.”If you’ve ever found yourself rooting for the underdog, tearing up during a comeback, or reflecting on what it means to be truly seen, this episode takes you behind the curtain and into the soul of the man who captures humanity in its most honest form.⸻⏱️ Timestamps & Highlights00:00 Opening reflections on empathy, storytelling, and curiosity06:15 How Last Chance U reshaped Greg’s understanding of redemption12:40 The art of authenticity and why the best stories tell themselves18:55 Building trust and vulnerability when the camera disappears25:20 The universal connection between coaches, leaders, and filmmakers32:45 Why Cheer exposed perfectionism, identity, and the search for belonging40:10 Lessons in pressure, performance, and finding meaning in failure47:30 Behind America’s Sweethearts: the unseen emotional weight of glamour54:00 How filmmaking helped Greg explore his own humanity01:01:00 Closing reflections on why stories save us and how truth always finds its way to the surface⸻🔥 Key Themes• Empathy as the foundation of storytelling• Leadership and culture as art forms• Redemption, identity, and emotional courage• The quiet power of being seen and understood⸻💡 Call to ActionIf this conversation moved you, share it with someone who needs a reminder that their story matters.
