In this episode, repeat guest Vince Del Monte, once known as the “skinny guys savior,” opens up about the divorce that broke his eight-figure life wide open, and what it taught him about God, money, and manhood. You’ll hear how a pastor’s kid who swore divorce would never happen to him fell for the three lies driven men believe about their worth: you are what you do, what you have, and what other men think of you. He shares the habits that cost him his marriage, why loving your business more than your wife has become “a societal form of adultery,” and the night his wife said “I’m done” that put him on his knees and into therapy.

You’ll also learn how his prayer life went from performance to a 4 a.m. hour with God, why quiet time beats a perfect WHOOP sleep score, why he threw his trackers in the garbage, and how he stopped letting his body determine his worth. I also share the near-divorce I tell in my documentary, Boundless: The Man Who Became Human. We talk about the “alpha orphan spirit,” shutting down his mastermind, quitting testosterone replacement therapy, alcohol, and caffeine in the same year, and how he’s now leading a relationship in purity. If you’re a woman listening, this is one to send to a man in your life.

In this episode, you’ll discover how much protein to eat in a calorie deficit to hold on to muscle, which bodybuilding myths you can drop, and what can help tighten loose skin after GLP-1 weight loss. I walk you through a new meta-analysis of 29 studies on dieting lifters, why I set my own target higher at 1 to 1.5 grams per pound, and whether switching up exercises builds bigger arms. You’ll also learn how close to failure you really need to train, why fasted cardio may not burn more fat, and why skin sags when weight comes off fast, including the 7% of facial volume lost per 10 kilograms.

I also dig into whether lifting makes women bulky, whether cardio kills your gains, whether you need to eat every three hours, and whether creatine is a steroid (it’s not). You’ll hear why I lift heavier loads on Nautilus machines, the essential amino acids my sons and I take twice daily, why I train fasted on ketones and amino acids, and my morning coffee fat-loss routine. We finish with strategies for tightening loose skin, including collagen, an at-home iRESTORE red light panel (use code BENPRO for $25 off), clinical treatments, and surgery, plus how to keep loose skin from deciding your self-worth.

In this episode, I’m re-airing my conversation with former covert CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, founder of EverydaySpy. My friend Adam Wenguer introduced us by saying Andrew was great at marriage, homeschooling, and biohacking, and that he used to be a spy. You’ll hear what a polygraph really measures, how the CIA rebuilds officers after an operation, and the recovery tools he leans on, including L-theanine, CBD oil (use code BEN15 for 15% off), and watered-down electrolyte drinks (get a free sample pack with any drink mix order).

Andrew walks through his CIA morning routine, from a big glass of water and a Transcendental Meditation® mantra to berries instead of coffee, plus why the agency wants your heart rate up early and why he shuts off screens 90 minutes before bed. You’ll also hear about the two popular sleep aids I think cut into your REM sleep, the “perspective” exercise that changed his marriage, the “false dilemma” that heads off most bedtime fights with kids, and how I talk to my own sons about porn. We also cover why he journals in fragments and turns them into spreadsheet dashboards, and why switching up your workouts beats the same treadmill run every day. If you want to go deeper, you can find his new book, Outsmart Everyone, here.
