Built Resilient

What is 'Success'? How do I be 'successful'? What are success habits? Honestly team... I think the answer is more complicated that we would care to believe. This is more than a motivational speech, it's a motivational video podcast designed to explore some of the more vulnerable aspect of our modern lives. It's called Built Resilient. Welcome to the family. In this episode, I'm getting a bit vulnerable about my own journey through fitness achievements, leadership roles, and the constant chase for "enough." From brutal endurance races to building a speaking career, I've learned that success isn't what you achieve, it's who you become.Here are 5 key insights you can expect from this honest conversation about redefining success:1. Learn why external achievements often leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled despite looking successful.2. Discover the psychology behind values dissonance and why borrowed goals never satisfy your soul.3. Get a practical framework for auditing your goals to separate what's truly yours from what's inherited.4. Understand how to identify your core values and build micro evidence that proves your identity daily.5. Shift from measuring success by metrics to measuring by meaning and personal alignment.This isn't me teaching from a mountaintop, it's me sitting beside you, acknowledging that I don't have it all figured out either. But sometimes the most powerful conversations happen when we stop pretending we have all the answers and start exploring the questions together.---------------------------Bart’s WebsiteWant to watch this episode?⁠Youtube⁠💻 Follow Bart on socials:⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠Want to contribute to the show?

Learn how to stop overthinking. Are you an overthinker, constantly stuck in your head? It feels like you're engaged in problem solving, but it's really just fueled by anxiety.

Meanwhile, your amygdala screams that something's wrong, creating an endless feedback loop between logic and fear. Your body joins the party, breathing becomes shallow, shoulders creep toward your ears, and your world narrows until all you can see is the problem.Most of the time, what we're really afraid of isn't the decision itself, it's what we'll feel afterward. The shame, embarrassment, or rejection that might follow if someone sees us fail.The Golden Question That Changes EverythingAfter years of battling his own overthinking patterns, Bart discovered one simple question that cuts through all the mental noise: What would I do if I wasn't afraid?This question works because it bypasses your mental chatter and connects directly with your intuition.

That first quiet response is usually the truth.A Four-Step Framework for Breaking FreeIn this episode, Bart shares a practical four-step process that helps you move from overthinking into action:Pause and acknowledge when you're spiraling—awareness creates space between you and the thoughtBreathe intentionally to signal safety to your nervous systemAsk the golden question and let the answer rise before your inner critic jumps inTake the smallest possible action right now—momentum before masterpieceFrom Fear to FreedomYou'll also discover why courage isn't the absence of fear, it's taking the next step while fear is still whispering.
