Nick begins by recapping the smashing success of BPN's 10th Birthday weekend. Thank you to all who came out for Athletic Club, our pop-up shop, and our VIP after-party! We had people fly in from Colorado, New Jersey, San Diego, even Amsterdam. Thank you! Choosing Your Hard literally applies to every single person, because every person has difficult decisions to make throughout their day. Don't let your mind venture off into the extreme examples of "hard"; such as running a marathon, starting a business by yourself, or chipping away at student loans. Those definitely qualify, but bring it personal, as well. Choosing to read before bed instead of watching a TV show on Netflix, doing the dishes for your spouse when you come home from a long day, or being patient with the chaos of the first week of school. Nick breaks down the mindset of Choosing Your Hard and the benefits that it brings to the longevity and sustainability of your life.

It’s no secret. Prices for everything that we as consumers are buying these days have risen. Groceries, gas, and yes, even our supplements have seen price increases over the last year or two.

In this episode, BPN’s CRO, Katherine Thomas, and CFO Josh Holley, join Nick on the podcast to discuss the many factors at play that are causing the prices of consumable goods across all industries to increase. Kat and Josh bring years of experience to the table and are able to provide great insight to how this affects both us as consumers and BPN as a company, and how BPN is positioning itself to continue to raise the standard, bringing the highest quality product to the market, even during these uncertain times.

In this solo episode, Nick dives deep into what it means to truly be obsessed with reaching your goals. Often times, society places a negative connotation on the word “obsessed,” and it is labeled as unhealthy. While this can be true, in reality, the only way you will reach ambitious goals in to be obsessed with them. They must occupy your thoughts and you should make most decisions in your life with them in mind.  Healthy obsession is momentum and passion at work.
