Most of us are trying to figure life out as we go.

What works.
What doesn’t.
What’s actually worth the effort.

The LAB is where I test those questions out loud.

It’s honest conversation, sharp observation, and humor about what happens when you stop acting like you have it all together and start paying attention to how you actually live, work, think, and behave.

Some weeks it’s just me.

Breaking down patterns I’m noticing.
Decisions I’ve made.
Mistakes I’ve learned from.

Things I’m still wrestling with.

Other weeks it’s a conversation with someone who’s thoughtful, honest, and worth listening to. We talk about the things that matter.

Self-mastery.
Business and money.
Spirutality.
Relationships.
Creativity.

Not as theories, but as lived experiences.

There’s humor because life is absurd.
There’s honesty because anything else is a waste of time.

You won’t find a formula, a sermon, or a highlight reel version of life here.
You’ll find perspective that helps your own choices make a little more sense.

  • For The Man Who Shows Up And Gets Told He’s The Problem

    For The Man Who Shows Up And Gets Told He’s The Problem
    Oct 13 2026
    For a lot of men, the first time they'll receive flowers is at their funeral. In this episode, Bryce Prescott speaks directly — brother to brother — to the man who is doing the work every day, showing up for everyone around him, and coming home at night to a feed that tells him he's the problem. Through the lens of male identity, the criticism-versus-change paradox, and one of the most overlooked dynamics in self-development culture, Bryce makes a direct case: constant outside criticism of men isn't making men better. It's just making good men feel worse. The episode closes with a specific assignment for three different groups — the men themselves, the people who love them, and anyone curious about what it actually costs to be a man right now.Listen in!Takeaways:For a lot of men, the first time they'll receive flowers is at their funeral. Everything goes unsaid. The weight goes unacknowledged. And they never get to hear any of it because they're already gone.The man showing up every day — working on his life, caring for his family, trying to get his money right and his body right and his spirit right — is the default guy in Bryce's world. He gets almost no recognition for any of it.Criticism almost never changes a group when it comes from outside of it. It doesn't land as an invitation. It lands as an attack. The people it resonates with already hate that group. The people it should reach aren't listening. The good ones just feel targeted.A constant barrage of content telling you that you're the problem for who you are — not what you did — is not feedback. It's not a weight to lift. It's a wall. You're allowed to swipe away.Shitting on men is not going to make men better. We respond far more to honey than to vinegar. The most well-intentioned voices are still doing it wrong.Most men don't need more criticism. They are painfully, quietly aware of their own failures. They lie awake running the list. They don't need the internet reading it back to them.Men are malpracticed at receiving. Almost every compliment, thank you, or good thing they received in their lives came attached to an expectation, a debt, or a condition. Now when something real comes, they don't know what to do with it. They deflect. They wave it off. They wait for the catch.When you stop beating yourself up, you suddenly notice how many other people are lined up to do it for you — and you start asking why you're allowing it.The evidence check matters more than the feeling. Four domains: health and fitness, personal relationships, money and business, spirituality. If you're taking deliberate action in all four, you have evidence. You don't need the internet's permission to feel good about yourself.There is a quieter, deeper voice underneath the ego and the inner critic. That voice is connected to something bigger. When you get quiet enough to hear it, it will tell you everything you actually need to know.The inner critic and the outside noise are running on the same frequency. When Bryce turned off the inner critic, he could suddenly see how empty the outside message really was. One freed up space for the other.To the people who love men: don't assume he knows. Say it out loud. Tell him you see the weight he carries. Tell him what he means to you. When he deflects it — and he will — say it again. He needs the reps.Don't wait until his funeral to give him his flowers. Do it now. Today. Before the window closes.Men aren't tired of the work. They signed up for it. They're tired of being told they're the problem for carrying it.The male suicide epidemic is out of control. This episode exists because Bryce couldn't stand by and watch good men get swallowed by a narrative that doesn't know them — and say nothing.Thanks for listening to this episode of The LAB Podcast!Your story is waiting to be told, and we're here to help you tell it better.If you’d like to join The Lab, our weekly group coaching experience please visit BrycePrescott.com/thelabgroup and follow the prompts.

  • I Beat Addiction, Now I Want to Build the Place That Saves Others with Brittany Blake

    I Beat Addiction, Now I Want to Build the Place That Saves Others with Brittany Blake
    Oct 6 2026
    She was the number one salesperson at an AT&T call center for six months straight — high on opioids the entire time. Brittany Blake grew up as the invisible middle child in a small Idaho town, survived sexual trauma she couldn't name until a classroom lesson did it for her, and spent four years managing a full-blown OxyContin addiction while holding down a career and a life that looked completely fine from the outside. In this episode, Bryce sits down with Brittany — a member of his Lab coaching group — to trace the full arc from suppressed childhood pain to ten years of sobriety, a thriving multi-state real estate business, and a mission to open rehab facilities of her own. Her story is the proof that you don't have to be defined by what happened to you.Listen in!Takeaways:Hyper-independence isn't a strength when it comes from neglect. It's a coping response — and it quietly becomes one of the most reliable predictors of addiction because you never develop the skill of letting people in.Brittany didn't know why she was numbing herself for years. The source of an addiction is almost always buried deeper than the addiction itself — and until you address the source, the behavior has nowhere else to go.Being a high-functioning addict isn't rare, especially among entrepreneurs. The drive, the performance, the external success — it can all coexist with a private prison for a very long time.Drugs work. That's the honest part nobody says out loud. They provide real relief from real pain. The cost is a debit that always comes due — and the feelings underneath are still there, waiting, when the numbness wears off.Victim shame is its own compounding wound. The story Brittany didn't ask to be part of was twisted into one where she was the villain. That betrayal made the wall around her even thicker — and confirmed everything she already believed about not being able to trust anyone.The subconscious screams what the conscious mind refuses to say. Four years of addiction were driven by trauma Brittany had pushed so far down she didn't know it was still running — until therapy cracked the door.One conversation with the right person at the right moment can change everything. Two words from her father — "you're me" — did more than four years of isolation ever could.The decision to stop happened in a bathtub in Moab, Utah, with pills still in her hand. She kept those pills in her cupboard for years — not to use them, but to prove to herself she didn't need to.Recovery is not just physical. The mental reconstruction lasts six to twelve months minimum, and no one who hasn't been through it can fully understand what that weight feels like. That's not a complaint — it's a qualification.You cannot get sober in the same environment where you became an addict. Changing everything — the relationship, the apartment, the career path, the people — wasn't dramatic. It was required.Brittany didn't go to an inpatient facility, but she built every element one herself: therapy, surrender, forgiveness, environment change, community. The building blocks are the same whether the building is formal or self-constructed.Rehab facilities collapse time. They give people the structure, resource, and environment to do in a compressed period what Brittany had to piece together alone. That's not a small thing.The most qualified person in any recovery space is someone who's been in it. Not because credentials don't matter — but because the mental experience of addiction cannot be taught from the outside.Brittany's purpose isn't abstract. She knows exactly what she wants to give the people sitting in the dark, wondering if they can make it out — because she was one of them.Being a recovering addict doesn't disqualify you from an abundant, successful life. It just requires that you actually do the work — the identity work, the inner work, the daily maintenance of who you're choosing to become.Thanks for listening to this episode of The LAB Podcast!Brittany Blake can be found using these hyperlinks:on IG @thebritblakeand on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/share/1DhESrArex/?mibextid=wwXIfrYour story is waiting to be told, and we're here to help you tell it better.If you’d like to join The Lab, our weekly group coaching experience please visit BrycePrescott.com/thelabgroup and follow the prompts.

  • Protecting Your Peace The Wrong Way

    Protecting Your Peace The Wrong Way
    Sep 29 2026
    "Protect your peace" is the most popular philosophy nobody is benefiting from. In this episode, Bryce delivers one of the most direct and practically grounded episodes in the series — a full-on challenge to the mantra that has taken over self-care culture. Using a gym metaphor built around a 45-pound plate, he traces exactly how avoidance compounds into fragility, why people with the richest therapeutic vocabulary are often the least equipped to handle real life, and where the line actually is between a wall that should be walked away from and a weight that needs to be lifted. The episode closes with a shadow on a bedroom wall — and the reminder that most of what we're running from isn't actually dangerous. It just looks that way in the dark.Listen in!Takeaways:A 45-pound plate weighs the same for everyone. What changes is your capacity to carry it. When you keep setting it down, the weight doesn't get lighter — you get weaker. And from the inside, that feels like the world getting heavier."Protect your peace" as a life philosophy is quietly making people smaller, more fragile, and more miserable — while telling them they're healing. That's the trap.The nice guy phenomenon is this same mechanism in slow motion: continually putting yourself last, never saying the hard thing, minimizing your own feelings until you can't handle ordinary life anymore.The problem with the therapeutic vocabulary explosion isn't the language — it's that knowing the language of the gym doesn't make you strong. People with exceptional vocabulary for their pain and zero reps trying to fix it are not healing. They're narrating.There is a genuine and important distinction between walls and weights. Walls — abuse, repeated lies, real danger — you get out from underneath. No nuance, no debate. But most things people are calling walls are actually weights. That misdiagnosis is costing them everything.When you've been lifting five-pound plates long enough, anything heavier feels like an attack. Feedback feels like prosecution. Care feels like being fixed. Truth feels like disrespect. And the person most likely to help you starts to feel most dangerous.Telling someone a hard truth is an act of love — not comfort. The person who tells you something difficult is picking up a weight of their own for your benefit. Walking out of that conversation to protect your peace is walking out of your own intervention.The clearest example of love isn't people agreeing with you. It's people sitting in a room and reading you a letter because they can't watch you hurt yourself anymore. That's what an intervention is. Most daily truth-telling is a smaller version of exactly that.The gym model applies in life: start with a weight that makes you shake — not 225 on day one. One hard conversation. One honest admission. One rep. Then do it again. Strength is built in the accumulation of reps, not a single lift.Get a spotter. A great coach, a friend who loves you enough to tell you the truth — these people exist so you can go heavier than you'd go alone. Pushing them away in the name of peace is why everything feels so dangerous.Rest is not the same as retreating. Recovery is part of the process. But rest without a plan to come back is just quitting with a nicer name.Very small things cast very big shadows. Most of what you're protecting your peace from isn't actually dangerous — it just looks that way in the dark. The only way to find out what you're actually dealing with is to turn on the light and do the hard thing.Avoiding hard things didn't just make Bryce smaller and quieter — it made him an egomaniac. He expected a seat at the table with men who had done the reps, without having done any of them himself. That's what skipping the work produces.You can be clinically depressed and still have agency over your environment. Both things are true. The hard thing in that season might not be the confrontation — it might just be getting some sunlight, letting someone in, going to sleep. Those are 45-pound plates too.The purpose of life is expansion. Everything you actually want — the experiences, the relationships, the person you're becoming — is on the other side of doing more hard things, not fewer. That is the whole game.Thanks for listening to this episode of The LAB Podcast!Your story is waiting to be told, and we're here to help you tell it better.If you’d like to join The Lab, our weekly group coaching experience please visit BrycePrescott.com/thelabgroup and follow the prompts.
