Jared and James

Most people don't fail because they aren't talented… They fail because they're loyal to the numbers instead of the mission. In this episode, I break down why chasing followers, likes, and quick results will keep you stuck—and how shifting your focus to a deeper purpose is what actually keeps you going long enough to win. I share my own experiences from: Posting for years without blowing up My 10+ year dunk journey Navigating a long and unpredictable healing process Because the truth is… real progress doesn't happen overnight. It happens in the unseen reps. The low-view posts. The days where it feels like nothing is working. We also dive into: Why you need to budget for bad days instead of expecting perfection The power of building systems over viral moments How “delusional confidence” can actually be your biggest advantage Your job isn't the timeline. Your job is the work. ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup 119, I'm leaning heavily into movies with a splash of sports as baseball season and the NBA playoffs are heating up. I start with a personal top 5 list of the greatest baseball movies of all time — from childhood classics. Each one brings something different to the game and the culture of baseball storytelling. Then I dive into my first-time watch of the Mission: Impossible series starring Tom Cruise — breaking down why watching them out of order actually made the experience better, the evolution of the action, and why Rogue Nation stood out as my favorite. After that, I review a surprisingly underrated rom-com How Do You Know, starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, and Jack Nicholson, and explain why it felt more real than most modern romantic comedies. Finally, I close with a full sports rundown: NBA Playoffs opening storylines (Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets, Thunder, Knicks, Celtics, etc.) MLB updates including the Mets' major slump, Yankees heating up, and standout performances from stars like Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Mason Miller.

What happens when the version of you that created your biggest success… no longer feels like you? In this episode, I dive into Mike Posner's powerful decision to revisit his hit song I Took a Pill in Ibiza and transform it into I Went Back to Ibiza — not just as an artist, but as a person. This isn't just about music. It's about identity. Growth. And the realization that you're allowed to evolve without rejecting your past. I also open up about my own journey — from writing Fight Through It, to redefining my relationship with success, ego, and even basketball. Because sometimes the hardest part of growth isn't changing… it's letting go of who we thought we had to be. I talk about: Why your past self isn't wrong — just outdated The truth about ego (and why it's not the enemy) “Fake enlightenment” vs real self-awareness Relearning how to compete… without losing yourself And why it's never too late to rewrite your story Tune in now… ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup, I'm diving straight into nostalgia with a fun one—Patrick Star's 10 best moments from SpongeBob SquarePants. If you grew up in the late 90s and 2000s, you already know… Patrick's timing and delivery are undefeated. From “Is mayonnaise an instrument?” to “That's not my wallet,” we're breaking down some of the funniest moments in cartoon history. Next, I review Freakier Friday (spoilers ahead). Does it live up to the original starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis? I break down the nostalgia, the new direction, and whether this sequel actually delivers. After that, I get into a powerful message from Sam Demma about staying true to your values—and why chasing short-term validation will always cost you in the long run. As a creator, this is something I've experienced firsthand. I then react to a clip from Joel Madden's Artist Friendly podcast featuring Marc Roberge, talking about how dreams seem unrealistic… until they become reality. And finally, I wrap things up with this week's sports recap: NBA Playoff + Play-In predictions (including LeBron James and the Lakers outlook) Eastern & Western Conference breakdowns Early MLB struggles for the Mets & Yankees Tune in now… ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

Back in college, during one of the hardest chapters of my life, I discovered a song that quietly shaped my entire mindset: Float On by Modest Mouse. The message is simple — even when life gets heavy… we'll all float on. In today's new episode, I break down the deeper meaning behind the song and how I apply it to real life — from healing through a life-threatening illness, to navigating the highs and lows of content creation, to handling everyday setbacks with perspective. I talk about: • Why “float on” isn't passive — it's powerful • How to handle highs and lows with grace • Why everything can serve a purpose (even when it hurts) • The 3-step reset: Feel it. Zoom out. Find one win. • Why most moments aren't the end of the world — even if they feel like it Life isn't easy. There are real struggles. But most setbacks aren't permanent — they're temporary chapters. If you're going through something heavy right now, this episode is your reminder: Good news is on the way.

Ever heard an iconic movie song… and then realized it doesn't exist on Spotify? Yeah—there's some great ones out there! In Rabbit Hole Roundup 117, I kick things off with a nostalgic Top 5 of the best unreleased movie songs—from Jimmy Neutron to Shark Tale, these tracks had no business going this hard without an official release. Then I shift into mindset, breaking down a powerful clip from J. Cole on Carmelo Anthony's podcast, where he explains the “Can I?” mentality—and how Stephen Curry inspired his belief that anything is possible. From there, I get into spirituality with insights inspired by Vex King—challenging the idea that there's only one path to God or personal growth. I also dive into wisdom from Chris Bosh on why writing things down can completely change your life—turning thoughts into action. And of course, I wrap with a packed sports recap: -March Madness Final Four and Michigan beating UCONN in the finals reaction -NBA injuries, MVP race, ROTY talk and vintage LeBron James is back! - MLB performances including Shohei Ohtani Jo Adell and Yankees and Mets Tune in now… ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

Ever feel like everyone else is getting chosen before you? The relationship.The job.The viral moment.The starting spot. And you're sitting there wondering… is it me? In this episode of Jared & James, I break down why not being chosen first doesn't mean you're not valuable — it might actually mean you're underrated. I talk about: Why being overlooked can be a sign of uniqueness Why “getting picked first” isn't always a flex The truth about viral success vs real value Timing, alignment, and being built for something better Why we're often our own harshest critics And how to start choosing yourself first From basketball runs to content creation to relationships, this is for the people who feel unseen… but know deep down they're different.

This week's Rabbit Hole Roundup dives into some of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make—along with a wild sports recap to close things out. I start with Vex King and a perspective that challenges one of the most common beliefs about growth: it's not trauma that makes you stronger—it's how you respond to it. From there, J. Cole breaks down why restraint matters more than reaction, and how learning to “let them” can completely change your mindset. Next, Khloé Kardashian offers a surprisingly powerful reframe on jealousy—turning it from something toxic into something that can actually fuel your growth. Then we go deeper into the rabbit hole with a conversation about success, conspiracy culture, and why believing “all success is evil” can quietly hold you back. To wrap things up, I have a loaded sports recap: March Madness chaos, including a wild UCONN Duke game MLB opening week reactions And the NBA heating up as Victor Wembanyama surges in the MVP race while Luka Dončić makes his case Tune in now… ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

Growing up doesn't mean becoming boring, disconnected, or abandoning the things that once made you happy — but somewhere along the way, a lot of us were told exactly that. In this video, I break down 5 lies we've been sold about what “growing up” really means — from being told our idea of fun has to change, to believing we need to move far away from our families, give up our passions, drink or get high to fit in, or stop enjoying the shows and hobbies we love. I share my own experiences — from still living with my parents at 29, to choosing clean fun over substances, to staying connected to my passions, family, and youthful energy — and why I believe growing up is about responsibility, not conformity. This video isn't about judging anyone's path. It's about removing the shame from people who choose to live differently and reminding you that your path doesn't have to look like everyone else's.

March Madness is here, and that means it's time to relive some of the most unforgettable underdog performances in tournament history. In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane with legends like Jimmer Fredette and Ali Farokhmanesh—the guys who turned March into their moment and became names we'll never forget. Then we head into the music corner where I'm putting you onto some of my favorite recent tracks. You guys can thank me later for these recommendations. After that, we get into a powerful and emotional moment inspired by Mr. Shutes—a message about bullying, kindness, and remembering what people carry with them when they go home. This one really hits. I also break down a perspective shift on anxiety from Angelica Fedosky that might completely change how you view those nervous feelings before big moments.

You've heard me speak about and tell stories in videos over the years about the teams I've coached in SBL (a basketball league in a neighboring town). Over the years, I've coached my cousin's team, and then teams of friends I've made along the way. I've built some amazing bonds with these kids; and my teams have overachieved! However, I still don't have a ring. But, according to the team I'm set to coach this upcoming season, that's all about to change! So you guys are in for a treat because for the 1st time on my channel, you're gonna hear from 4 of the players and team captains on the team-Michael Mifsudd, Brody Weissman, Ethan Dizen, and Ethan Hoffman-all seniors and really awesome people and ballplayers on the team as we head into the season. Before the season begins, the captains of our SBL team join the podcast to talk about leadership, team chemistry, and what they hope to accomplish this year. In this episode, we sit down together to discuss what it means to lead a team, how great chemistry is built, and how we want to respond when adversity inevitably hits during the season. The captains share their individual and team goals, their biggest inspirations, and what makes the SBL such a special place to compete. We also have a lot of fun along the way with predictions, team theme song questions, some trash talk and league wide drama, and a look into the future — imagining what we hope this season will look like when the final game arrives.

What if your past didn't define you… but instead gave you the power to rewrite your future? In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup, we start with Mike Posner returning to Ibiza—not to relive his past, but to rewrite it. His new version of I Took a Pill in Ibiza reflects who he is today, reminding us that growth means evolving, not staying stuck in old identities. From there, I share a clip where Terron Beckham shares why posting your failures might actually be your biggest strength in a world obsessed with perfection—and why authenticity always wins long term. Then I get into a powerful reminder from Living Like Dante about how one small moment can completely change someone's day… plus a few real-life gym stories from myself that prove it. Before the sports recap, I share a clip from Jeremy Lin where opens up about tough moments playing alongside Kobe Bryant—and why I say why we need to be careful about glorifying toxic leadership, even when it comes from greatness. Finally, we dive into: World Baseball Classic chaos & finals preview Los Angeles Lakers finding their identity A tight NBA MVP race featuring Nikola Jokić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and more And the big question… can anyone break Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point record?

In this episode, I sit down with Noah Tanner (aka The Biggest Fella) to talk about losing over 100 pounds — and how he became a weight loss coach and why shame is NOT the answer. We dive into: What actually changed when he committed to his transformation Past failures and what finally worked+a funny story about how he tore his ACL The difference between discipline and self-hate Building confidence before the “dream body” What a healthy relationship with food really looks like How to inspire people to change in a healthy way This conversation goes beyond just weight loss and health and fitness but has so much more to do with confidence, knowing your worth beyond your body and weight, but transforming yourself out of self love!

Streetball changed basketball forever. In this episode of the Rabbit Hole Roundup, I dive into the legendary AND1 Mixtape Era and break down my Top 5 favorite AND1 streetball players of all time — the players whose creativity, handles, and swagger helped influence an entire generation of hoopers and even today's NBA stars. Before we get into the list, we start with a powerful conversation about delusional confidence, inspired by a clip from renowned NBA trainer Chris Brickley. Why do the most successful athletes and achievers believe in themselves even when nobody else does? Next, I look at a clip from The Human School Podcast that explores the difference between opening up about your struggles vs staying stuck in a victim mindset — and why that distinction matters for personal growth. Then I discuss the modern debate between Mamba Mentality vs “Funmaxxing.” Is relentless grind culture the only path to greatness? Or is balance, joy, and sustainability the real key to long-term success? After that, we jump into the heart of today's episode: AND1 Streetball. At one point in time, the AND1 movement was nearly as popular as the NBA itself. Streetball legends helped redefine creativity and ball-handling, influencing players like Kyrie Irving, Jamal Crawford, Steph Curry, and many others. In this episode I reveal my Top 5 favorite AND1 streetball players Finally, we wrap things up with this week's sports recap, covering: World Baseball Classic action and Team USABig NFL free agency movesNBA talk including the Lakers, Timberwolves, Spurs, and the rise of Victor Wembenyama Tune in now… ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

Was the 2011 dunk contest actually the most underrated of all time? And did we have it better than we realized? In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup, I kick things off with my Top 5 favorite video game soundtracks — from early 2000s FIFA vibes to NFL Street 2's absolute bangers. This will bring back some fun memories! Then I dive into one of my biggest pet peeves: “It's not like he's going pro.” Why do people feel the need to limit someone else's ceiling? Dream big. The experience is better when you believe it is and maybe “the big leagues” has a different meaning for each person! After that, we reset with a gratitude reminder. As someone who's constantly chasing the next goal, I know how easy it is to forget what's already going right. Sometimes we need to reground and appreciate the small wins. Then we revisit the most underrated dunk contest ever — the 2011 contest featuring Blake Griffin, Serge Ibaka, JaVale McGee, and DeMar DeRozan. Creative dunks. Presentation. Showmanship. No rushed attempts. Just pure entertainment. And of course I close with NBA chaos: MVP debate heating up (is Cade Cunningham the guy right now?) The Celtics' return of Jayson Tatum Lakers drama and how every week is a different narrative And the wild Nikola Jokić vs Lu Dort fight Tune in now... ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

Ever notice how some people feel the need to ruin things you're excited about? You try something new.You feel proud.And suddenly someone has to tell you why it won't work, why it doesn't matter, or why you're “trying too hard.” That's a buzzkill. In this episode, I share personal stories from my childhood, sports, the gym, business ideas, and social media — all centered around one idea: don't let someone else steal your joy or momentum. I talk about why negativity spreads, why people shut others down, and how the most powerful response isn't arguing… it's continuing to show up. If you've ever felt discouraged after doing something you loved, this one's for you.

In today's Rabbit Hole Roundup episode, I'm kicking things off with a nostalgia trip — my Top 5 One Hit Wonders of the 2000s. If you grew up in the 90s or early 2000s, you remember that era where a band would drop one absolute anthem… and then basically disappear unless you were a diehard fan. Let me know if I missed any classics because I definitely thought of some others after filming. After that, I dedicate an entire segment to what might be the most criminally underrated comedy I've ever seen. It got 7% on Rotten Tomatoes?!Absolute blasphemy. A reminder that you can't always trust the reviews. Then I pivot into something deeper:• Protecting your peace in a world that wants your opinion on everything• Why not commenting on every issue doesn't make you “privileged”• The importance of disagreeing respectfully And yes… I address the backlash over my Bad Bunny Super Bowl take. You can dislike a performance without hating a group of people. We've got to get back to nuance. From there, I head into sports: A powerful mindset segment from 3x NBA Dunk Champion Mac McClung on believing in yourself even when nobody else does. Olympic hockey recap — USA vs Canada gold medal thriller. NBA talk: KAT being called “too nice” My concerns about the Lakers And the growing tanking problem in the league Tune in now… ____ ____ Link to Buy my Book "Fight Through It” as well as 100% Organic Motivational T-Shirts and contact info… www.jaredryanweiss.com Check out our affiliate links to some great nutritional products that we believe in down below: Vitagenics Courses https://vitagenics.teachable.com/?affcode=392642_nvq9zepk&fbclid=IwAR3ETJTvomso4qZPiTSVoi47DpyVvejn910VmuttE1DAcX7VRZxeq6ZnMns Zeolite and Fulvic Acid Detox-Touchstone Essentials https://jaredandjames.thegoodinside.com EMF Rocks emfrocks.com/JAREDWEISS817 Use Code JAREDWEISS817 athleticism.com/ATHLETICISM-47 _______ _______ Also, just to remind you guys (you can find more in our about section and on my (Jared's) instagram), Jared has been healing from a life threatening illness and currently is healing from severe digestive and neurological and speech issues.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my good friends from the gym — who also happens to be one of the most talented, kind, and humble piano players I've ever met. And while Ludovic isn't going to brag himself, he has an amazing story. He's performed on some of the biggest stages in the world, including Carnegie Hall, and at the same time completely transformed his health — losing over 100 pounds and rebuilding his body, confidence, and mindset along the way. We talk about how his piano journey began, the years of disciplined practice it took to reach elite levels, and what it actually feels like to perform under pressure on a world-class stage. He opens up about stage fright, how he reframed anxiety, and why over-practicing can sometimes hurt more than help. Then we dive into the other side of his transformation: the weight loss journey. What inspired him to change, the mental hurdles he had to overcome just to walk into the gym.. Along the way, we talk about: Losing 100+ lbs and keeping it off The mental vs physical side of transformation Diminishing returns in both training and practice Overcoming nerves and stage fright Being featured in Men's Health and Lifetime magazines The power of community and accountability Why foundations are often built long before results show up This conversation is about discipline, patience, humility, and trusting the process — whether you're chasing excellence in music, fitness, or life.

No more football (I know…it sucks)… but the world hasn't slowed down at all. In Episode 110 of Rabbit Hole Roundup, I talk about in a time where headlines are designed to divide and social media pushes us to pick sides, I'm sharing clips and perspectives to help you stay grounded, intentional, and mentally strong. I break down: Why fighting online isn't fixing anything The pressure to “speak up” on every issue How to protect your peace without being apathetic Lessons from Mike Posner at 37 he wishes he knew at 27 (health, boundaries, integrity, handling highs & lows) Why cleaning up your social media feed is a mental health superpower The unique healthy habits of Mack Hollins The redemption mindset of Super Bowl champion Sam Darnold NBA All-Star Weekend breakdown — 3pt contest, Dunk Contest struggles, and why incorporating pro dunkers like Jordan Kilganon could save it Why this year's All-Star Game was surprisingly competitive Shoutout to Justin Verlander returning to Detroit The main message? You can promote what you stand for without tearing others down. Personal excellence is the best rebellion. Protecting your peace isn't weakness — it's strength.
