In this episode, we sit down with Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning, to explore the habits and mindset shifts that can transform your life. Hal shares the story behind his life-changing morning routine and how the S.A.V.E.R.S. method — Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing — has helped millions take control of their days before the world takes control of them. We also dive into his personal journey of overcoming a near-fatal car accident and a battle with cancer, and how those experiences shaped his philosophy on resilience, emotional responsibility, and choosing faith over fear. This conversation is packed with practical strategies for building discipline, elevating your mindset, and creating extraordinary results through small, consistent actions. If you're looking to upgrade your mornings — and ultimately your life — this episode delivers both inspiration and a clear roadmap to get started.

In this episode we dive into one of humanity’s oldest and biggest questions: faith. If thousands of religions exist, what does it really mean to choose a God? Is faith something we inherit, something we discover, or something we decide? This isn’t about winning an argument — it’s about exploring the deep questions that shape how we live our lives. Whether you're religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheist, this conversation invites you to think critically about what gives life meaning. Join the discussion in the comments!

In this episode, we sit down with Brianna LaPaglia (Brianna Chickenfry) for one of her most honest conversations yet. She opens up about her life, the relationships that shaped her, and what it was really like to face the grueling challenges of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. Brianna shares moments the cameras didn’t capture, the obstacles that pushed her to her limits, and the lessons she took away from an experience that changed her forever. On top of that, we dive into our unexpected friendship, how it started, and the bond that grew out of shared experiences. Laughs, raw honesty, and real-life stories make this conversation one you won’t want to miss!!

In this conversation, we explore a very important conversation and touch on parenting in a modern world, making informed choices around health and wellness, and why legacy isn’t built through grand gestures, but through small, consistent decisions made over time. The daily ride to school is an overlooked public health issue, how diesel exhaust impacts children’s development, and why electric school buses offer immediate, tangible benefits for kids, families, and communities. Duncan breaks down what makes fleet electrification uniquely challenging — and how Highland removes the financial and logistical barriers so school districts can focus on what matters most: education. From local school districts to the global stage of the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel — sometimes it means making something familiar healthier, quieter, and better for the next generation.

This is the final episode in this series. After “It’s Not My Job to Make You Happy” and “We Don’t Need Each Other,” this conversation lands on a hard but honest truth: we will let each other down. This episode isn’t about blame or perfection—it’s about vulnerability, marriage, and the realities we don’t always say out loud. These conversations are shared with the hope that honesty might help someone else feel less alone. Please be mindful in the comments. If something resonates with you, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Love you guys!

This episode got raw. In Episode 2 of our series, we sit down as husband and wife and say the words that made us most vulnerable: we don’t need each other. What started as an honest conversation turned emotional—tears, tension, disagreements, and a level of vulnerability we’ve never shared publicly. We talk about breaking free from co-dependency, redefining partnership, and what it actually means to choose each other instead of needing each other to survive. We’d love to hear your thoughts— 👉 Did this episode resonate with you? 👉 Did it challenge how you see relationships? 👉 Any insights or personal experiences you want to share?

Well... This series wasn’t planned. It started with us unpacking three phrases that have hit our marriage the hardest: “It’s not my job to make you happy.” “We don’t need each other.” “I’m going to let you down.” Each episode breaks down one of these conversation starters—and what followed was not easy. There are tears. There are real-time arguments. And there are very honest conversations we almost kept private. This is Part 1 of a three-part series. Parts 2 and 3 are coming over the next two weeks—stay tuned. We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Do you agree? Have you had these conversations in your own relationship?

In this episode, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our past year together- and honestly, what a year it’s been. We’re walking through everything that happened: the trips we never imagined we’d take, the amazing guests we've had on this show, the chaos that came with doing Special Forces, writing our upcoming book, settling into a new house, and all the unexpected highs and lows in between. This year challenged us, stretched us, and changed us in ways we’re still processing, but it also reminded us how lucky we are to do life- and this podcast, together. Most importantly, we just want to say thank you. We truly wouldn’t be here without you- our listeners. Your support, messages, and encouragement mean more to us than we can ever fully explain. We’re beyond grateful to have this community and so excited to celebrate another year of Couple Things with you. Here’s to what’s next 🤍 Love you guys!

we decided to dedicate this episode of the podcast to a topic that’s both messy and powerful: redemption and second chances. in this episode, we talk through real-life examples, unpack what it actually means to see someone grow and change, and explore how to recognize when a second chance is deserved versus when boundaries need to stay in place. it’s a conversation about the complexity of human relationships, the courage it takes to offer grace, and the unexpected ways redemption can show up when you least expect it. we dive into the messy, emotional, and ultimately hopeful process of giving people the opportunity to do better—and what that can teach all of us about empathy, trust, and forgiveness.

In this episode, we sit down with Jake and Ashlyn Burger- a powerhouse couple whose story blends faith, resilience, and purpose. Jake is a MLB player known not just for his talent on the field, but for his openness about mental health and the challenges that shaped his career. Ashlyn, a former athlete herself, brings warmth, honesty, and strength, and together they’ve built a platform that goes far beyond sports. The Burgers are also the founders of the Burger Family Foundation, created to support mental health initiatives and give back to communities in meaningful, accessible ways. https://www.burgerfamilyfoundation.org/about Through their foundation, they’ve become advocates for transparency, encouragement, and breaking the stigma around mental health conversations, especially for young athletes. In this conversation, we dove into everything from Jake’s journey through injuries and setbacks, to how the couple balances life, marriage, and being parents. We touched on their heart behind the foundation, their passion for serving others, an inside look at their relationship and the realities of navigating MLB life as a family, and the vulnerable moments that shaped their perspective. We had lots of laughs with our new friends and can't wait to hear what you guys think!! Love you guys!

We made it to the FINALE- and nothing could’ve prepared us for what this last episode threw at us. At this point, we were exhausted, worn down, and hanging on by whatever grit we had left. The DS pushed us into the most intense test of the entire course: capture, interrogation, zero sleep, and moments that forced us to stay locked in when our minds wanted to tap out. We are so proud of each other walking into that final challenge together and we’re even more grateful you’ve been watching along with us. This finale was raw, surreal, and honestly one of the hardest things we’ve ever done. Can’t wait to hear what you think and wrap up this wild journey with you. Love, Shawn & Andrew From Shawn: Self doubt has creeped in over the years… after retirement, a failed comeback, and 3 kids. I wondered if I could. I feared I couldn’t. But dang….. it sure feels good knowing I did! I finished! It hurt. I learned a lot. I healed a lot. I’m better for it. Thank you to the DS for pushing me. You taught me so much! Getting those smiles and hugs at the end was the greatest reward! Thank you for being the best coaches ever. And to Gia… I’m so fricken proud of you! You pushed so hard and never gave up!

Welcome to our second episode of the week to catch up with EPISODE 8! Episode 8 pushed us to another level. After an already emotional week, this episode forced us to dig deep, confront our breaking points, and show a level of vulnerability we hadn’t yet let surface. The DS stripped away anything we were still hiding, and what came out were some of the rawest, most honest moments we’ve had on the course. Tough, humbling, and a turning point in the whole experience. Let us know what you thought about this episode, and we’ll see you for the final time.... FOR FINALE EPISODE!!!!!!!
